About this listen
What if the spotlight you're thrust in wasn't so welcoming? The strain of success can weigh heavily, as basketball prodigy Angel Reese is learning. The buzz from her sudden absence from games, linked to a low GPA, has many pointing fingers. Yet, we argue, shouldn't the coach also bear some of the responsibility for their players in preparing them for the intense scrutiny that fame brings? We dive headfirst into this debate, exploring the pressures of both academia and fame on rising stars.
From the court, we pivot to the music studio, where Lil Boosie is making waves, calling out artists who sample his music without authorization. His stand, amplified by Rod Wave's "Long Journey," serves as a reminder of the importance of securing permission before sampling and the potential legal fallout of ignoring this rule. We also touch upon the power of social media in recruitment and the joy of welcoming a new baby into the family amidst holiday celebrations. Join us as we dissect these burning topics, bringing unmistakable clarity to each discussion.
