The New York Times was on a roll this past week with two eyeroll-inducing articles about how Drake invented sing-rapping and how Asian movies like Parasite are all about Confucianism. Mtume, Millie, and Oxford get together to talk about why so many people got mad at these pieces and we answer the all-important question: at what point in your life did you realize that the New York Times was full of shit?
