Is Yung Miami's "Spend Dat" Really Bad For The Culture?

Is Yung Miami's "Spend Dat" just a fun song of the summer, or does India.Arie have a point about the influence music has on our culture? After India.Arie responded to a call to boycott the song, some people criticized her as if she personally demanded that Yung Miami's record be banned. But that's not actually what she said. In this episode, I break down her real comments, the backlash, and the bigger conversation about how much responsibility artists should have for the music they create. I also get into the story of a woman and her mother who were arrested after allegedly stealing thousands of dollars in Louis Vuitton purses and posting a video set to "Spend Dat." Does music actually influence behavior, or are people simply responsible for their own bad decisions? Then, with Jay-Z preparing for his massive Yankee Stadium weekend celebrating 30 years of Reasonable Doubt and 25 years of The Blueprint, I'm making five predictions for what could happen—from new music and surprise guests to a Roc-A-Fella reunion and possibly even a new Jay-Z album announcement.
