Black women) on the famed comedy skit show......and probably regrets it; a proposal to name a Brooklyn street after the Notorious BIG gets thrown out (thankfully); someone from the Afronerd Radio "inner sanctum" provides greater evidence that NYC's "Stop and Frisk" policy bears merit and lastly, if time permits, we will address any issues that were overlooked during last week's show.  See you all at 7pm!
