#FOOTAGES (Joe Budden, Nicki vs Cardi, My Ye is Different, The Guardian)

Welcome back to Don’t Alert The Stans! For the umpteenth time, Nicki Minaj makes a record-breaking entry into the news agenda as the boys dissect the latest chapter in her feud with Cardi B(48:16). Elsewhere, Eden, Sope and Nicolas evaluate whether Joe Budden is a misogynist and if his aggressive debate with Scottie Beam on State of the Culture deserves reprimand (1:14:30).Veering into UK terrain, the boys comment on the polarising article published by The Guardian regarding afro-swing’s transition into the mainstream. The controversy invoked by the headline promoting political blackness is also put under the microscope (1:27:01). Lastly, the boys reflect on the industry’s growing penchant to put money and resources behind ‘comedy’ and ‘viral’ acts in the wake of Loz’s ‘Shaku on the Beat’ and Osh This Side’s ‘My Ye is Different’(2:00:10).
