Battle of the Eras

On this episode of The Friends Podcast, we talked about the eras of hip-hop and whether Nipsey, Bow Wow and Big Draco are legends. First discussion was sparked by an article that ranked rappers by the number of unique words they used, so we give an overview and speak on the importance of unique words. From there, we ranked the eras and said why one era was better than the other. A facebook post calling certain rappers “legends” and certain rappers “not legends” sparked a big conversation from us.  We wrapped up the show by speaking on a few recent albums and giving our highlights for the week.
