Seasons greetings to all Conscious Approach-ians out there! We return for another interesting stream to discuss Ghostface Killah’s views on ‘pause’ and why he thinks it needs to go, Ryan Clark detailing being musically profiled in Ubers and why it needs to stop, and Rick Ross’ adult daughter urging the 49-year-old to act his age. We also get into Ice Spice catching some heat for her wardrobe choice at a premier event for the SpongeBob movie, an old video of Charlie Kirk expressing his views on Nicki Minaj as a role model resurfacing in the wake of Minaj speaking favorably of Kirk at an appearance with his widow, and rappers appearing to cosign Young Thug’s “f*ck the streets” mantra in response to 21 Savage’s album “What Happened to the Streets?”

This week, we discuss the Sheronne Moore debacle, including Ryan Clark and Jemele Hill’s belief that he could potentially ruin future opportunities for Black coaches, 50 Cent’s belief that the stigma of snitching in hip-hop enabled Diddy to operate unimpeded for as long as he did, and The Game suggesting that barring a few lines that shouldn’t be crossed, dating a friend’s ex is fair game. We also discuss Onlyfans superstar Sohpie Rain saying her regular job was more physically demanding than being on Onlyfans, Stephen Jackson’s words of advice for Ja Morant, and Ebro’s speculation as to why his Hot 97 morning show was cancelled.

Join us as we discuss Dr. Cheyenne Bryant psychoanalyzing Shannon Sharpe on his own show, calling for him to grow up and become more mature, hip-hop artist Dijon calling for music critics to be harsher because music critiquing has become too soft, and Kai Cenat expressing the importance of streamers to take care of their mental health. We also discuss DJ Akademiks' criticism of older rapper's behavior, citing Maino, Jim Jones and Fabolous - this stemming from an initial critique of the way that they dress, Matt Barnes clearing the air and dispelling claims that he was finessed by an AI model, and Odell Beckham Jr.'s comments about how hard it is to work with $100 million, along with Carmelo Anthony's defense of what he had to say.
