Mick Jenkins hails from the Windy City, but he takes a questionable stance on the famed Chicago-style hot dog in this installment of Everything You Need To Know. "It's kind of weird to me," he says of the condiment-loaded concession. "I'm just a ketchup, mustard guy." The opinionated rapper also outlines his feelings about juke versus house music and album skits in this segment; plus, he shares the enticing tale about that one time he performed in Montreal.
