The Planet, along with Chicago’s own Square-One of B-Side Radio, have joined forces to bring you the week in review in Hip-Hop and current events, along with the occasional special guest and some music to keep you moving through your day.
This week’s episode of IllSide Radio deals with many issues including Tegan and Sara’s issues with Tyler the Creator and Odd Future. Is this cyclical that every few years a group gets everyone’s attention? Is Odd Future being targeted or does the criticism have relevance. Why are people not addressing the larger societal issues of misogyny, rather than going after a few music acts? Why Odd Future and not any of the other groups? Did people even listen to Goblin fully before they picked out lyrics to attack? Should rap be policing itself rather than waiting for the next eventual attack?
We talk about the recent murder of M-Daze from the Cali Swag District in LA. Recent news has connected the murder to an altercation that happened over Twitter. How real is the internet? How fast can things get out of hand when you are arguing on-line?
We look at rapper Cassidy’s recent arrest and how he’s been lucky enough to escape death and life in jail only to return to trouble. Is Cassidy at fault or is he being targeted? Is he surrounded by the wrong environment, doing the same things that got him in trouble in the first place? Can he come back from this?
With all the books being dropped by rappers, is this dry snitching? We discuss the recent releases of books by Malice, Prodigy and Ice-T and ask the question. Are these books compelling on their own or do they need the embellishment? Is this a part of selling books period? We look at Don Lemon’s announcement about his sexuality and Ashley Judd’s rap comments leading their book releases. Is the sizzle as important as the story?
Arnold Swordinnanny was recently revealed to have had a 14 year old lovechild with his nanny. How much and how long did his wife know about it. There were previous rumors about his philandering which were squashed by his wife during his governor run. We take a look at the situation and what if anything he’ll lose besides his marriage. Why did he finally admit it anyway?
Sit back, relax, and take a ride on the Ill Side.
