Black Hipster

Episode 31: Beyonce's body language said "back up Becky." But the message didn't seem to be received. So the BeyHiVE got involved. And you never want that. But the bigger conversation here isn't about whether or not Bey was truly giving the Virgo cold shower, why, and blah blah blah. Whose responsibility is it to shut that shit down when another woman is blatantly trying to get at your man? These hipsters don't necessarily agree with one another. But we feel so passionately about our positions that we didn't have enough time to talk about the Straight Pride parade--and for the better because that straight white male priv garbage doesn't need a second more of publicity.

Episode 30: Everyone knows these black hipsters love Rupaul's Drag Race and all things Mama Ru. We really deep dive into our thoughts on the Queens and the latest season? Spoiler alert: we announce the winner so if you didn't see it, whoopsies! What the fuck is up with this online group which has proven to be a dangerous mix of misogyny, racism and white privilege? These self proclaimed Incels are trying to take over. We sound off on this very real (but nonetheless extremely ludicrous) online community.

Episode 29: The Beyhive has gone too far coming for a Black legend. Social media gives us the most ambivalent feelings. We love funny memes, but we are not here for the angry mob mentality. And, the only things we want cancelled are racism, hatred, xenophobia, okay, okay, there are lots of things. But for these Black hipsters cancel culture needs to get cancelled!

Episode 28: Shalwah just might go the fuck off, because, well, abortion is being criminalized. Stanley is fucking scared, because, well, abortion is being criminalized. We're on our way to living like Orwell's 1984. And Jill Biden, don't get dragged. You've been warned boo!

Episode 27: Ayesha Curry is clapping back, but what's new? Is Michael B. Jordan dating a Victoria's Secret model? Why does he catch so much flack for not liking the sisters? Who's more excited than us that She's Gotta Have It is coming back May 24th? And, who won the Met Gala? These hipsters share their ideas for how some folks could have won. P.S. We don't even touch on the fact that the ladies of Roc Nation sat out this year's event.

Episode 26: If sex work became legal, could sex workers become influencers? Would they get sponsorships from relevant brands? That one's for you Alexis. Also, Cardi B claps back on Instagram after photos of her vagina go viral following the Billboard Music Awards. And, we can't end the episode without acknowledging the contributions of the late John Singleton, may he rest in his Power!

Episode 25: What makes someone think that black hair is so shitty that you can just color it in with a permanent marker to fill in gaps? If that were the case Sharpie would have made an enormous fortune selling hair products to balding black men. Plus, would you take on certain aspects of your partner's religion just to please them? And, should men still pay on a first date? At the least should women pump fake? Fair warning: these hipsters have strong views on this!

Episode 24: Beyonce drops "Homecoming," so we can relive the wonder that was Beychella. But our favorite part was the reaction of one of her dancers to the amount of talent in her fellow performers. You kinda just have to see it. Plus, who's the idiot with the offensive LGBTQ t-shirts who didn't even realize that BBQ doesn't begin with a Q? What's the line between funny and offensive? And Stanley is moved by the work of author Ta-Nehisi Coates -- let's talk about it.

Episode 23: If you hadn't already heard about the painting class oral sex incident, you have now. It was as absurd as it sounds and we sound off about it, but must admit that posing for a life drawing class could be a confidence booster. Plus, we couldn't let another week pass without talking about Beyonce's new Adidas collection, and how her bossiest boss move ever put brands on notice about the power of the black influencer. Who run the world?
