    The Superbowl Halftime Show hasn't been this tense since...anytime Beyonce headlined it. This time we got the American MEGASTAR Bad Bunny vs some old dude named checks notes Kid Rock???

    Nicki Minaj Grifting For Gold (Card), Is Marvel Neglecting Wonder Man?

    Nicki Minaj grifting for a Trump gold card has been circling the rumor mill for the past few weeks. As she cozies up to the maga movement many have speculated that it was all about her citizenship. While that may be true, our guest co-host JBversustheWorld think it's more to it than that. Could pardons for two of her close family members be at play, too? Speaking of Nicki Minaj, Kanye West is back in headlines as he offers a new apology to the Black and Jewish communities. Should he be forgiven? Is his mental state to blame? If so, how much? Does the apology exonerate Mr. West? We dig into a bit of legacy, forgiveness, and our personal feelings. While we're on the subject, Is it time for Black Folks to jump back into the political arena? If so, how far should we get involved? Can we afford to stay on the sideline? Lastly, we talk about the newest Marvel hero to hit the MCU, Wonder Man. Instructor BK absolutely loves the first four episodes of the show. He gives a spoiler free review as to what the show actually accomplishes and what the vibes are. In that same breath, every corporation has it's 'thorn in the lions paw' and for Disney that looks like shows with black leads, writers, and female directors. Is Disney actively ignoring the greatness of most of their black and female lead shows? How much does the algorithm play a part in these issues? Is it the small minority of the people with those shades? You know the shades we're talking about. #Marvel #Wonderman #NickiMinaj #KanyeWest #MCU

    Are False Beauty Standards Still Hurting Our Teens

    If you grew up in the 90s and early 2000s you are well aware of how industry beauty standards took over the world. From the rise of the video vixen to the take over of social media. It wasn't new then and it's not new now, but for some reason the issue still persists. False beauty standards continue to hurt our children and perpetuate a false sense of confidence that easily falls a part in today's society. #BeautyStandard #Socialmedia #Falsebeautystandard #naturalbeauty

    Do We Really Need The Billboard Charts Anymore? Hip-Hop Shut Out Of The Billboard Top 40

    In this session, Instructors BK Spades and Novacaine discuss Hip-Hop not making the Top 40 for the 1st time in 30+ years. Which is more relevant Hip-Hop or The Billboard itself. Our duo covers many topics within the topic from lack of substance to corporate involvement diluting the source materials. Does this make hip-hop artist hungry again? Will it spark a new hip-hop renaissance? Does the community even need a corporation telling them whats hot? Who really drives the culture? We got question, questions. Last Things : Marshawn Kneeland (Dallas Cowboys Defensive end) recently took his own life. The Michael Jackson movie trailer dropped and we have thoughts. #MichaelJackson #MarshawnKneeland #DallasCowboys #BillboardTop100
