Nicki Minaj just released her first album in half a decade, Pink
Friday 2. The self-proclaimed 'Queen of Rap' has an unparalleled
career, but the rap game - and women's position within it - has
changed dramatically during her hiatus. While Nicki helped shape
rap today, the artist has also faced a slew of controversies and an
erratic album rollout that all have us asking: is Nicki still the
verified 'Queen of Rap'? Host Brittany Luse sits down with NPR
Music Editor and Louder Than A Riot host Sidney Madden to
discuss.

Then, we're breaking down one of the most powerful symbols in
America: the cowboy. Brittany is joined by New York Times culture
critic J Wortham, and Museum of Contemporary Art Denver director
Nora Burnett Abrams to unpack the history of the symbol and explain
why it continues to lasso Americans.
