Summary

Bill Ackman targets Universal Music Group — and it might change your Spotify bill. We break it down, then go record-for-record on Usher vs. Chris Brown. Plus: Red Bull Records shuts down, Kanye's UK ban, Isaiah Rashad's album incoming, TDE's roster problem, rap's "who's next" crisis, and two Tupac songs to close it out.
