EGO+ 13 - Should We Go Back?

RIP DMX, (00:40) The Cast starts the show off remembering DMX as the legendary man who captivated their fathers minds, not through the hype club music he is mostly known for in the mainstream, but through his more vulnerable album cuts that resonated with many who have endured similar challenges. (06:00) This then opens up the "should fans be able to gate keep the fanbase" conversation, using instances like MF DOOM's passing as an example. (11:50) The Cast then moves on to Carlton Davis' unknowing use of a slur when he thought he was using a slang word that most people in South Florida use, does he deserve a pass? (21:20) Should the offended party, not the random online instigators, be the one to start a healthy dialogue between them and whoever used a slur word unknowingly? Allowing for a person to learn from their mistakes? (25:50) YG's song that seemed to have targeted an Asian Community has been censored, The Cast reacts and Chris fears if this will set a new standard in the industry for other artist to become censored; (25:50) making him ask the question "Should we go back and edit?" (39:40) With the world opening back up, Domestic Terrorism is gradually reminding us that our normal before COVID wasn't a good one by any means, (47:00) but what if we can somehow change what being called "American" means? (50:12) RIP to Daunte Wright, another man who was killed by the Police, is reform truly the answer? (56:00) Finally, The Cast announces upcoming projects under Circa that are in development.
