Curtis Shaw Flagg is the operations manager at Laugh Factory Chicago, and the Director of Marketing for Open Books. He’s also Vocalo’s senior social media correspondent and brings us trending news from the web and beyond. This morning we’ll talk about how Cambridge Analytica’s use of Facebook data was a ‘grossly unethical experiment’. We’ll also talk about why people would pay to maintain positive image on social media. And finally, we’ll get into Riri versus Snapchat as the singer took the social media company to task over the weekend.

The Morning AMp airs 8-10 AM CT on Vocalo 91.1 FM (CHI) / 89.5 FM (NWI) and streams at vocalo.org

So Rah-Digga just took on Kanye's New Slaves with a remix that speaks to all the mamas.  I ride with this lady... and with all these lil out of control girls out here... I dare somebody to say something.   #necessary

These mothafuckas...

These rappers have finally started questioning the radio or the overall bullshit like we have been - for the longest. 

I like Kendrick Lamar... and I hate that bullshit.

His verse didn't change the world, but it most definitely was a spark of the spark that changed the world.  Even if it's just for a week or so. Word to the one named Shakur. 

Exhale.  

Back to this Lupe Fiasco SLR shit tho'... whatever this winds up representing... I love this dude. I respect this dude. 

Fucking Intelligent Rap.  How bizarre.

Keep calm and Carry on - sheep.

My homegirl did me a solid when she introduced me to the smoker's paradise that is Devin the Dude. So chill and so pleased with himself, like your drunk ass uncle taking a weed nap.

For all the folks who have these kinda problems...you need to Stray.

Yaasin Bey is a king.  Say something.  You can't.

Considering how much I love Dre’s Let’s Get High - I have to assume some responsibility for the downfall of civilization. Right?

Monster - Kanye, Rick Ross, Jay and Nicki Minaj.  This video is amazingly disturbing...but the track is some of that oooh wee and in my humble opinion, all the REAL rappers showed up and showed out for a moment of talk shit.  All the real rappers... one of these kids doesn't belong. 

I stand by my stance that as an artist - Kanye's a genius.  Of some kind.  

[theagingbgirl]

Did we let rap music eat the kids?

Looking at all this "from a dark place" ass music has me curious... I think I need to walk back thru 2010 and 2011 and see what I missed.  Whatever this is... it's aggressive.
