Akademiks vs Charlamagne Is Getting Ugly + What Happened To Lizzo?

DJ Akademiks is accusing Charlamagne Tha God of pushing Roc Nation talking points, and Charlamagne isn't letting it slide. On today's episode of The Stem Society, Cole Jackson breaks down the latest back-and-forth between two of hip-hop media's biggest voices and asks a bigger question: are podcasters protecting Jay-Z, or is Akademiks seeing a conspiracy where there isn't one? Later, Cole looks at Lizzo's disappointing first-week album sales after her latest project failed to reach the Billboard 200. Is this the result of label issues, the algorithm, or has Lizzo simply lost momentum with the public?
