In this episode of ‘Billboard Unfiltered,’ Billboard staffers Carl Lamarre, Trevor Anderson, Kyle Denis and Damien Scott discuss the significant role hip-hop artists have played in the upcoming election by being vocal about their endorsements. They also react to Tyler, the Creator’s ‘CHROMAKOPIA,’ Lil Durk’s arrest, and the reasons more rappers are ending up in jail, and more!
Carl Lamarre:
I know you’ve said he’s in your Big 3. I think this has solidified it.
Kyle Denis:
I mean, last two albums won Grammys, he’s going to probably lock up another No. 1, hopefully, with this one.
Carl Lamarre:
I don’t think Ari got that kind of time or the patience to really try to play this indie game.
Trevor Anderson:
You really trying to put somebody away for, you know, charges that are going to be murder. You know it’s got to be multi-decade sentences, life sentences. All these kinds of things.
Damien Scott:
It really feels like rap kind of gave up this election. We kind of sat this one out.
Carl Lamarre:
Hey guys what’s going on and welcome to another episode of ‘Billboard Unfiltered.’
Damien Scott:
What’s good?
Carl Lamarre:
Gentleman!
Trevor Anderson:
What’s up?
Kyle Denis:
Yo, yo, yo.

And we’re back again, let’s close out this week in a good way. We got some music on Monday from a certain cat called Tyler, the Creator. His seventh studio album, ‘CHROMAKOPIA.’
Damien Scott:
I enjoyed the Monday release. I enjoyed the Monday morning-
Carl Lamarre:
It feels good right?
Damien Scott:
I enjoyed going to work, listening to a new album in the morning, on a Monday morning, starting the week with new music. I liked that, we should try more of that.
Kyle Denis:
If more releases are as good as this one, I am all for Monday’s.
Carl Lamarre:
You know, we could be on to something.
Keep watching for more!
