Last weekend was the annual AFROPUNK Festival in Brooklyn with over 70,000 in attendance. A place of Black art and activism, but as the festival grew, more and more people are stating, “Afropunk sold out for white consumption”. This episode we will examine the validity of this statement.

EPISODE 8: Masculinity in Hip-Hop (L’ Edition)
This is the 2nd Edition of our L’ Edition, where we have a few drinks to set the mood. We’re joined by our guest J Walk to discuss a disagreement he had with our answers to a Real or Fake Question from Episode 4: Cat Calling, about rather or not Black Men ‘Oppress’ Black Women.
Aside from that we discuss masculinity in hip hop, past & present. -
EPISODE 25: Discrimination in Hip-hop Nightlife
We kick it off with a Real or Fake saying “rap music brings out violent crowds” to break the ice with our guests, Sir Locksley and DJ Nexus. With both their perspectives we then begin to dissect the politics behind rap music’s treatment in the nightlife scene.
Oh yeah, and look out for Gee’s apology to Sheens for his Mo’Nique comments in the beginning of the episode..

EPISODE 24: The Battle Rap Scene
One of the artists we often use at the end of our episodes, Sir Locksley, has sat down with us to discuss the Battle Rap scene. We start off with a quick tangent on the recent Deontay Wilder vs Luis “King Kong” Ortiz boxing match up, and close out speaking on the show Everyday Struggle beginning to fall short.
