Why Drake Couldn't Handle Pusha T Like Meek Mill, Is XXL Freshman List Rigged? | Everyday Struggle

On today's #EverydayStruggle the crew catches up with J Prince during a promo run for his new memoir 'The Art & Science of Respect.' The Rap-A-Lot Records CEO explains why Drake couldn't handle Pusha T the way he handled Meek Mill in their beef. He said that Drake responding to 'The Story of Adidon' would've put Kanye West in a very bad situation. Later, DJ Akademiks, Wayno and Nadeska discuss Kanye and Kid Cudi's upcoming album 'Kids See Ghosts,' which has new cover art from Takashi Murakami. Plus, Akademiks stands by his statement that the 'XXL Freshman List' is rigged, and explains why he leaked the 2018 list.
