CDK & Horatio are back, unpacking a powerful mix of headlines, culture, and tech. They start with a breakdown of the 2025 BET Awards, celebrating Black excellence while questioning what authenticity looks like in mainstream recognition. Then it’s into Wale’s battle with livestream culture, and how artists are adapting—or struggling—in a digital-first world. The duo tackles Tyler Perry’s complex reputation, the NBA Finals debate of pure talent vs. legacy, and the growing tension between AI’s rise in creative spaces and what it means for the future of music. Finally, they zoom out to reflect on where humanity is headed as tech continues to blur the lines of what’s real.
