Ep.45 - The Billie Eilish Debate

<p>Some time has passed since Billie Eilish made her comments on Rap. Hip-Hop has constantly had to defend itself from comments like these decades before Eilish was even born. It's a dead conversation on the surface.</p><p>But below the surface, there is a deeper conversation to be had. One of fighting for authenticity, why is it always Hip-Hop? One of confusion, why are artists like Eilish, Miley Cyrus &amp; Post Malone getting chesty when previously it was washed Rockstars? The DITD duo looks into this and introduces a new angle to the overall dialogue.</p><p>TIMESTAMPS: <br>Weekly Music Roundup - (2:28)<br>Topic Intro - (23:15)<br>Breakdown of Eilish's comments - (25:23)<br>The conversations behind Hip-Hop - (27:21)<br>Broadening the scope: Storytelling &amp; Realism - (34:39)<br>Miley Cyrus &amp; Post Malone: Why are contemporary artists getting chesty? - (42:46)<br>Age &amp; Race, the two roadblocks for new genres/sounds - (54:21)<br>Lighter Note - (1:08:59)</p><p>Thanks for listening.
