The latest episode of We Have More Thoughts sees hosts Alex, Pierre, and Q diving into a mix of tech, hip-hop, and industry dynamics. From Megan Fox’s AI-driven thriller Subservience to the future of rap battles and SZA’s decision to set boundaries with fans, the trio delivers an engaging and often humorous discussion.
Megan Fox’s AI Thriller Sparks Debate on Human-Robot Relationships
The episode kicks off with a conversation about Subservience, a 2024 film in which Fox plays a robot assistant who develops emotions for her owner. The hosts explore the ethical and social implications of AI companionship, particularly in the realm of sex robots and emotional dependence on artificial intelligence. While some argue this technology could offer solutions for loneliness, others worry about its long-term impact on human relationships and social development.
Will Rap See Another Blockbuster Battle?
The discussion shifts to the state of rap beefs, with the hosts debating whether another high-profile clash could reach the magnitude of the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar feud. They express skepticism, pointing out the increasing legal risks involved—especially in light of Drake’s history of taking disputes to court.
However, they suggest a potential faceoff between Lil Baby and Gunna, noting their Atlanta roots and underlying tension. The conversation briefly touches on female rap, with the hosts debating whether Ice Spice’s viral moment has peaked while acknowledging GloRilla’s steady rise.
SZA Pushes Back on Fan Expectations: ‘It’s Time to Restore the Boundary’
The hosts also discuss SZA’s recent tweet about scaling back on fan engagement. The Grammy-winning singer admitted that constantly sharing snippets and personal moments has led to entitlement and even disrespect from fans. “It’s time to restore the boundary,” she wrote, signaling a shift in her relationship with her audience.
This revelation aligns with ongoing debates in the music industry about the balance between accessibility and mystique. While fan interaction can strengthen an artist’s brand, it can also create unrealistic expectations—especially in an era where social media fosters parasocial relationships. The hosts highlight how SZA’s long-standing creative differences with TDE executive Punch may have influenced her decision, particularly regarding controlled rollouts and the impact of snippet culture.
The Evolution of Rappers: Longevity vs. Relevance
Rounding out the conversation, the hosts tackle the challenges of aging in hip-hop. They discuss how rappers struggle to maintain relevance as they grow older, contrasting this with rock musicians who often perform well into their later years without criticism. Juelz Santana is cited as an example of an artist grappling with this balance, while Future is praised for adapting without compromising his core identity.
The takeaway? Longevity in rap isn’t just about skill—it’s about evolution, perception, and knowing how to engage both longtime fans and newer audiences.
