On the 10th anniversary of rapper Tupac Shakur’s death, we'll debate what – if anything – has changed in the world of hip hop. Also: M. Ward. The gravely-voiced singer-songwriter is getting high marks for his new album because he doesn’t sound like your typical "guy with guitar." He’ll join us. And finally: Members of Ethel -- the rock band of string quartets – will share their genre-bending new album.
