This week, Jaelin Goldsmith helps us trace rap beef back to its roots and then up to where we're at in the present day with Kendrick Lamar, Drake and all the others in the industry trying to get in on the action. We also talk about burning mixtapes back in our prime, the rise of AI in rap and what that means for the future of the game.

Neuralink, CO2-removing cars, climate change – what’s going on out here? Today we trace the history of Earth Day back to its roots. We then take a brief look at the scientific state of the earth, followed by an assessment of Earth’s current events and trends. Happy Earth Day!
