SWWP #61 - Jay-Z Roots Picnic Freestyle Reaction

Reporting live from Mexico City, I'm back on my solo travel grind, soaking up culture and exploring the city. But even after leaving the country, I couldn't escape the shockwaves Jay-Z sent through hip-hop this past weekend at Roots Picnic.I break down the lyrics, subliminals, and disses throughout his performance, then dive into whether this moment is ultimately good for hip-hop and what it means in the context of J. Cole's decision to step away from the beef years ago.From there, I pivot to a couple of films I recently caught in theaters. If you're a cinephile, or even just a casual moviegoer, you've probably heard the buzz around 'Obsession' and 'Backrooms'. I give my thoughts on both and discuss why they're generating so much conversation.I also spend some time talking about my NBA Finals-bound Knicks. Tune in for all of this and more!Socials Channels: Instagram - ⁠  / somethingwrongwithpod  ⁠Twitter - ⁠https://x.com/swwpodcast_⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/savewithjulian⁠TikTok - ⁠  / juliannicholas11
