    Does Hip-Hop Influence the Culture… or Just Reflect It?

    Does hip-hop influence the culture—or is the music simply reflecting what's already happening? The Politickz As Usual crew is back for another no-filter debate on music, entertainment, relationships, and culture. This episode kicks off with the controversy surrounding Young Miami's "Spend Dat" and India.Arie's criticism of the messages being celebrated in popular music. Can adults enjoy controversial music without endorsing the lifestyle? And what happens when the same music reaches young, impressionable listeners? Then the conversation turns to public allegations and social media judgment, privacy in relationships, going through your partner's phone, Jay-Z's Target partnership amid boycott discussions, and the unanswered questions surrounding the death of a young man following a July 4 trip. Finally, things lighten up as the crew debates the Chris Brown and Usher tour—and asks the question every couple needs to answer BEFORE buying front-row tickets: Are you letting your girl get on stage with Chris Brown? 😂 From hip-hop's influence to relationships, celebrity accountability, boycotts, and R&B's biggest tour, the crew has plenty to argue about.
