Moving Monday. We’re moving all over the place SOHH why not get things going with Killer Mike getting flamed to a crisp by news personality Joy Reid? Speaking of powerful women, are we OK with Cardi B getting called the new 2Pac (sorry Troy Ave and Boosie Badazz)? With big things on your mind, is Grand Theft Auto V the biggest game – of all time? All this coming up in SOHH Whatcha Think.

1. Flame Grilled

When it comes to statistics and tallying up the numbers, Killer Mike is one of the best. His ability to bring up amazing social points, getting behind politicians like Bernie Sanders and making the Black Lives Matter movement even stronger makes the Run The Jewels frontrunner sort of a big deal – until some common sense gets the best of him? Social media is all on it:

Are you feeling Joy Reid’s approach? Did Killer Mike hold his L with pride? Is this low-key too funny? #SOHHWhatchaThink?

2. Punch Drunk

Is the rap game going too hard or not hard enough with Cardi B co-signs? It feels like she is receiving some much-needed attention with both a new album and pregnancy announcement but are people just co-signing to co-sign? But to call Cardi B 2Pac? Too far or not far enough? TDE’s Punch has the salute:

Is this a far stretch? Can you see some logic? Think Cardi B should speak up? #SOHHWhatchaThink?

3. Respek On GTA V’s Name

Is there any better game than Grand Theft Auto V? Seems like Red Dead Redemption 2 might make some noise when it comes out but from the real-life references to the pop culture appeal, GTA V is the truth – plus the online mode remains fire with new updates almost weekly. Turns out the game is the biggest selling title – ever. MarketWatch is on it:

“Grand Theft Auto V” has been criticized for depicting torture, deploying heavily sexual scenes, using racially offensive terms and a misogynistic portrayal of women.

It is also the most financially successful media title of all time.

Since it’s launch in 2013, “GTA V” has sold 90 million units, putting its total haul for publisher Take-Two Interactive Inc. TTWO, +2.62% in the neighborhood of $6 billion—far above the success of blockbuster movies like “Star Wars” or “Gone With The Wind,” which both collected more than $3 billion, adjusted for inflation. Even taking into account DVD and streaming sales would not put the biggest movie blockbusters in GTA V’s neighborhood, said Cowen analyst Doug Creutz, estimating those sales might add up to $1 billion to the films’ totals.

Is this crazy? Should Nintendo feel embarrassed? Are you hyped for a GTA VI? #SOHHWhatchaThink?
