On Facebook Wednesday, I got into a discussion about whether or not I thought Drake could come back (and maybe even win) from Pusha T’s blistering “The Story of Adidon” diss record, which took disrespect and hip-hop investigative journalism to new levels.

I was recently in Roanoke, Ala., and ventured to McDonald’s because my children are obsessed with chicken nuggets like most American children are.
