Black Hipster

Episode 131: It's our music episode hipsters! We rate Champagne Papi and Yeezy' latest albums. Who cares if your favorite rapper/singer has a ghostwriter, teamwork makes the dreamwork ya'll. Who are your favorite and worst rappers of all time?

Episode 130: Your favorite hipsters are back from their break! You would think we would use this episode to regale you about our tales out in the world but nope: Covid takes center stage! This girl will not give up and the continued ignorance and stupidity of those in our country help prolong her stay. We need to be better America!

Episode 129: New Cuomogate update! Queen Bey's newest Ivy Park release has us thinking about the erasure of black cowboys from U.S. history. Applause to Rihanna on becoming a billionaire! That's some Black Girl Magic for real. We have to be honest, we're more  scared than ever about climate change situation!

*Please note, after the recording of this episode, Cuomo announced his resignation.

Episode 128: The Delta Variant is out here acting a mess and trying to ruin the rest of this year's plans. We cannot say it enough: GET VACCINATED AND MASK UP! DaBaby's comments have left us tired, frustrated and more than a little curious about their oddly specific nature.

Episode 127: Everyone loves fried chicken and everyone loves watermelon. But let's not get cute, when it's on the menu for a Juneteenth celebration thrown by a large (and Swedish) company, these hipsters can understand how someone could take offense. Plus, is it commendable for a bride to send her bridesmaids a contract spelling out their duties and expectations with an "opt-out" clause or is it just a new bag of crazy in what has become of the wedding industry?

Episode 126: These hipsters had some technical difficulties last week, but better late than never, right? We're back this week talking about Bill Cosby's release from prison, Sha'Carri Richardson's one-month doping suspension from the Olympics and why cops across the country are quitting in record numbers. Is Blue flight a real thing?

Episode 125: A group at Seattle's Pride festivities decided to charge white attendees a reparations fee to attend various functions and not their black and brown counterparts. Do we even need to say that it caused some controversy? What type of post Covid party life is this when Rihanna can't even get into a local club here in the city?! Beyonce has released the newest Ivy Park collection and we will say it is more wearable than past introductions.

Episode 124: Americans have an interesting relationship to alcohol. The rates at which we drink and how much are at an all time high and alcohol related deaths are up. Yet, advertisements for the "devil's water" are everywhere and you can purchase it at grocery stores, zoos or anywhere else you go! We chat about how alcohol is tied to evolution and how it has and continues to play an integral role in many of our lives today. Listen, it can be dangerous and definitely isn't good for you but these two hipsters can't (and most likely won't) quit it.

Episode 123: Yes, it is too early for us to say the pandemic is nearing an end but it can't stop us from thinking about what we miss and new things we are looking forward to. Designer babies are definitely not a new thing and before the science there were countless old wive's tales about how to predict and 'sway" the gender of your baby. We can't help but see the inequalities when it comes to the value placed on boys vs girls and how those dynamics continue to play out long after childhood.

Episode 122: We applaud the courage it took for Billy Porter to publicly reveal his HIV positive status. Here's to shattering ceilings and breaking down the stigma of living with the diagnosis. Whether you are here for Andre Yang or not, a recent cartoon of the mayoral candidate has caused quite a stir after claims of racism.
