    The Censoring of Hip Hop

    The Censoring of Hip Hop

    Censoring isn't new to hip hop. However, in the wake of people trying to "censor" and "cancel" Dave Chappelle and DaBaby, we revisit the idea in the context of modern day hip hop. We discuss if it's possible for hip hop to be censored, who actually does the censoring (has it changed over the years?), and what it looks like if it can be. So you know the drill, #PullUpAChair, press play, and let us know your thoughts.

    The [Perceived] Safety Risk of Being a Rapper

    The [Perceived] Safety Risk of Being a Rapper

    The tragic murder of PnB Rock forces us to once again have to examine what's going on with, what seems to be, increased violence and attacks on hip hop artist. We react to the unfortunate circumstances surrounding PnB Rock in particular, but also examine what is creating the circumstances that make it feel as if simply being a rapper is one of the most dangerous professions you can choose. While this may not actually be the case, we discuss reasons hip hop continues to find itself in this situation and what can be done to help us get out of this vicious cycle. #PullUpAChair, press play, and please let us know your thoughts in the comment section wherever you may be listening. Stay safe.

    Reactions to Kool Moe Dee’s Rapper Report Cards

    An image of Kool Moe Dee's report card to rate MCs was resurfaced online  and got everybody talking. Of course, we had to discuss this at the roundtable. As you can imagine, there was plenty to discuss and disagree with. #PullUpAChair, press play, and leave a comment with your thoughts.

    Responding to & Learning From Astroworld Tragedy

    Recorded just after the tragic incident at Travis Scott's Astroworld concert, we discuss what hip hop's response should be and lessons learned for the culture. We always want to make sure that hip hop is growing and getting better, even in the midst of tragedy. So #PullUpAChair, press play, and give us your thoughts on what lessons hip hop can take away from this unfortunate situation.

    Funk Flex and the Gatekeeping of Radio

    Funk Flex and the Gatekeeping of Radio

    Although Funk Flex and Conway have since made peace, what came out of their back-and-forth was a need to discuss the responsibility of radio and DJs to promote artists--or establish if that even is their responsibility. Has Funk Flex turned his back on "real" hip hop? Was Conway wrong for being upset with Flex? We start there, but go beyond to explore what all this means for the culture, as a whole. #PullUpAChair, press play, and leave a comment with your thoughts.

    Mental Health & Accountability in Hip Hop

    Mental Health & Accountability in Hip Hop

    Kanye's public bout with bipolar disorder is not necessarily a new discussion. However, at the time that he released the album Donda (in honor of his mom), we bring the conversation about mental health and who is looking out for our the faces of our culture to the roundtable. Of course, this conversation is much greater than Kanye himself is one we need to continue to have in our culture. #PullUpAChair, press play, and make sure you let us know your thoughts on all that we cover in the discussion.
