Ep 379. J Cole & Drake: Best Friends Forever

Around The Way Curls

In this week's episode, Shanti discovers the world of young professionals at a recent Tech conference while Antoinette finally shares Bae with the world. For politics, we discuss Hurricane Milton's impact, the challenges FEMA and Congress faced in providing adequate funding, and the ethical implications of price gouging during crises. For pop- culture, we dive into J-Cole's recent song "Port Antonio". We discuss Drake's rant on having "fake friends", whether Kendrick's strategy was a money/fame grab, and the importance of authenticity in any art form. Join us...
