At the height of the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef a few weeks back, Questlove took to Instagram to say, amongst other things, that "hip-hop is truly dead." In today's episode, he tells NPR's Rodney Carmichael where he was coming from – whether or not he actually believes that – and explains the musical shift, personal stories and cultural changes detailed in his new book, Hip-Hop Is History.

It is one of the most important inventions in history. Almost everyone listening to this has one. You use one almost every day, and if we didn’t have them, the world would be a very different place.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Dear Sister,’ ‘A Fatal Inheritance’ examine difficult family histories
Today's episode highlights two books that grapple with hardships – and perseverance — within a family. First, Here & Now's Robin Young speaks with Michelle Horton about Dear Sister, a memoir chronicling how Horton's sister was arrested for killing her husband, the abuse she'd been suffering at his hands for years, and the family's fight to reduce her prison sentence. Then, NPR's Scott Simon speaks with journalist Lawrence Ingrassia about A Fatal Inheritance, which tracks generations of cancer in Ingrassia's family alongside research and developments in the medical field.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Wu Zetian: China’s Only Female Emperor (Encore)
In the very long history of China, it has had exactly one female ruler.
She was a woman who managed, against all odds, to inch her way closer to power over a period of years until she reached a point where she could claim power for herself.
By all accounts, she was beautiful, brilliant, cunning, and absolutely ruthless.
Learn more about Wu Zetian, China’s only female emperor, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The US Occupation of the Philippines
The Philippines is one of the largest countries in the world. With a population of 115 million people, it is the 14th largest country in the world in terms of population.
However, for a period of 48 years, it was a colony of the United States.
That half-century was one of the most important in the history of the Philippines. It saw two major wars, profound social and cultural changes, and laid the foundation for full independence.
Learn more about the period of American occupation of the Philippines and how it changed both countries on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
