Artists have found many reasons over the years to name-drop famous people. Most commonly, it's a sign of praise, as they effectively pay tribute to someone they respect and admire. Other times, a name-drop can stoke controversy, igniting or further fueling a fight. Then there are the cases where a name-check is used for creative purposes, helping to establish a song's characters or time period. Well on today’s show we are gonna examine several instances and try to better understand how they serve the song or the artist's motives.
To help us with the topic today, we have a very special guest on the show! V. Shayne Frederick!
