Batting .500

In this episode of the Brilliant Idiots, Nyla Simone joins Andrew Schultz and Charlamagne Tha God dive into the ongoing drama between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. They break down the diss tracks these two heavyweights dropped and take wild guesses about Drake’s next chess move. Plus, they get into the nitty-gritty of street cred and how Instagram can make or break your rep.

They can’t help but notice the eerie silence from other artists when it comes to backing Drake in this showdown. They toss around ideas and speaking of hot topics, they tackle the sticky accusations thrown at Drake, like being labeled a creeper.

They dissect Questlove’s input and how the West Coast vibe adds spice to rap battles. And of course, they’re not done until they dish out what they think Drake and Kendrick should do next.

They discuss the latest drama involving DJ Vlad and Morgan Jerkins. And in a thoughtful twist, they round it all off with a chat about critical race theory and the importance of team harmony.
