Alex, Brian, Joe and Ant sit down and reflect on the legend that is Kobe Bryant. On Sunday, January 26, 2020, the basketball icon and LA Lakers legend lost his life in a horrific helicopter crash along with his 13 year old daughter Gianna and 7 other precious souls. 

Throughout the pod the guys took a look at Kobe's greatness on and off the court and tried to highlight how we can all be better versions of ourselves if we can just embody a little bit of Kobe's famous Mamba Mentality. 

Other topics involving the recent Grammy Award ceremony, Lori Harvey and her crew, getting away from black trauma in film, Terry Crews throwing Gabrielle Union under the bus for America's Got Talent, Trump's impeachment trial and Super Bowl picks were lightly spoken about as well. 

May Kobe, Gianna and the 7 others lost this past Sunday rest in heavenly peace. God bless them all.

Alex, Brian, Joe and Ant sit down to discuss the series premiere of Love and Hip Hop: New York. In an effort to spice things up, the original series of the notorious franchise brought back some of its most popular cast members. All and all, we're just hear to see Tahiry and that ass. 

The guys also spoke about the epic 50th birthday party for the icon that is Sean "Diddy" Combs. He's a legend and of course his party was a legendary, star studded event. Salute to the god, Diddy! Hope he has another 50 years plus styling and showing us all how to achieve black excellence. 

The fellas also took time out to honor actor Danny Aiello by reflecting on two of his most iconic roles in "Do the Right Thing" and "Harlem Nights". He will surely be missed. 

On a more series note, the guys voiced their disgust with the upcoming Oprah Winfrey led documentary that's set to highlight the sexual misconduct claims of two of hip-hop icon Russell Simmons's accusers. Of all of the men in Hollywood being exposed in the #MeToo Movement, Russell has been class personified and we can't figure out why the queen Oprah would look to drag him through the mud. 

The guys also talked about Eddie Murphy's upcoming SNL hosting gig as well as reflecting on some of his most iconic films. Check out our IG and weight in on the top 5 list we composed.

The guys also had an in-depth conversation about the recent passing of hip-hop artist, Juice WRLD, which led to a lot of different takes on how we should feel about the 21 year old's passing. In contrast to Juice WRLD's young death, the fellas took time to celebrate hip-hop icons Sean "Diddy" Combs and Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter both turning 50 years old recently. 

Further Black excellence was discuss including Miss Universe, Miss America, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA all being black women. With South African model and public relations professional Zozibini Tunzi winning the Miss Universe Pageant this past weekend, for the first time in history all four major beauty queens are black. We salute our queens and are proud they are getting the recognition they deserve. 

After speaking on the recent renewed funding for HBCU's and highlight black Golden Globe nominees, the guys got into a heated conversation about the New York Knicks. Please forgive them.
