"Gentrify your own hood, before these people do it." This is the beginning JAY-Z's "Nipsey Hussle Freestyle" during his B-Sides 2 concert in the newly renovated Webster Hall in New York City. It sparked a conversation about the sociopolitical impact of gentrification on longtime residents in the target community... and JAY-Z's potential involvement in the gentrification of Brooklyn.

While this episode was recorded well before the announcement of JAY-Z's billionaire status, the question is still whispered between these two married moguls/musicians. Did Hov need Bey's global audience? Did Bey need Hov's business acumen? What stories do the business and music tell?

Lil Nas X's "Old Town" was initially released independently in December 2018, and gained popularity on social video sharing app TikTok. The song achieved a rare feat in Billboard history when it simultaneously charted on the Billboard Hot 100, Hot Country Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts in March 2019. However, Billboard quietly removed "Old Town Road" from its Hot Country chart for "not [embracing] enough elements of today's country music." What? Why? How?
