"Beef rap, could lead to getting teeth capped
Or even a wreath for ma dukes on some grief crap
I suggest you change your diet"

FYP S2 Episode 5: And what I do? Act more stupidly
"I feel the pressure, under more scrutiny"
So like everyone else we couldn't get through a day without people bringing up Kanye so we had to tackle this major topic. Hip hop and mental health, how artist use music as their vehicle to get through their issues. Plus how we as fans use music to push through our own dark times.

FYP S2 Episode 4: A Concept
This week we explore the art of story telling through concept albums in the hip hop universe. Strong concepts can unify an album through themes and stories alike. But if your concept isn't strong, Queen Mydas will call you on your bullshit.
We also explore which artists are the best at telling stories though lyrics and through musical production on standalone songs.

FYP S2 Episode 3: Till 3005, Hold Up
This week the Triplex tackles the difficult topic of problematic faves. Can you separate the art from the artist? Do you want to? Does liking R. Kelly's music make you a bad person?
Then we discuss what the future of hip hop might look like. We give our predictions of trends, sounds and themes we expect to see from the hip hop of tomorrow.
Let us know what you think! Can you listen to an artist with a questionable past? Do you have a vision of what the next trend in hip hop will be? Tell us below or find us on twitter at @FreshYongeP.

FYP S2 Episode 2: Lights, Camera, Music
Back at it with another one! This time we focus on the ever important visuals: how can music videos and films enhance the artistry behind hip hop? Can a bad music video ruin your experience with a song? DO music videos matter?
We discuss our favourite music videos and musical films and how they helped or hurt in our love of the song.
