Kanye West wrote quite the riveting poem about McDonald’s for Frank Ocean‘s Boys Don’t Cry magazine. It was certainly one of the highlights of the publication, and has become one of the most talked about pieces on social media.
While visiting Megan Ryte yesterday, rapper Joey Bada$$ decided to throw some sauce on the poem, and read it aloud for the Hot 97 viewers. Watch out his hilarious performance below. Shakespearean.

For today’s segment, I picked Afrojack and Ty Dolla $ign’s “Gone” to play on Hot 97. Love getting to play my favorite artists on the greatest radio station in the world!
This interview was intense, and it sort of explains my departure from I’ll Name This Podcast Later. It’s an unfortunate situation but something that was out of my control, and hey, everything happens for a reason! I look forward to launching my own show next month, Marisa Explains It All!

After dropping her critically acclaimed debut mixtape, A Good Night In The Ghetto, this spring, Oakland rapper Kamaiyah has been steadily building a name for herself in music. She’s landed on songs with the likes of Drake and YG and has been performing coast to coast, but nothing (yet) was more special than her sold-out show in her hometown just last month.
I had the pleasure of attending alongside my Hot 97 co-worker Scottie Beam, and it was that kind of moment that is exactly why I wanted to work in music. To be able to be there for the journey of an artist that I listen to regularly and see moments from the first mixtape, to the first sold-out show, to eventually touring the world, topping charts and selling out arenas is an amazing thing.
