Popcast (Deluxe): It’s Drake vs. Everybody … Who’s Winning?

This week’s episode of Popcast (Deluxe), the weekly tradition roundup present on YouTube hosted by Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli, consists of segments on:

• The tensions brewing amongst hip-hop’s largest stars, starting with Kendrick Lamar’s sideways lyrics about Drake, which have led to a full-scale recalibration of style alliances

• Drake’s leaked response to Lamar

• How different artists like Future, the Weeknd and Rick Ross have jumped within the fray, all lining up towards Drake

• How hip-hop’s latest squabbles are a life raft for late-career artists

• Whether the “Big 3” — how folks as soon as referred to the grouping of prime hip-hop stars Drake, Lamar and J. Cole — was ever actually as steady as marketed

• Songs of the week from Peso Pluma that includes Arcángel, Sky Ferreira and NLE Choppa

• Snack of the week
