In this episode, I dive into the Super Bowl aftermath, celebrating the Eagles’ big win and sharing my thoughts on Kendrick Lamar’s halftime performance. While Kendrick’s fans found it deep and meaningful, I felt the show missed the mark for a Super Bowl performance—lacking the entertainment factor and not featuring his biggest hits. Instead, he made it more about Drake than his own legacy, and the vibe just didn’t feel right for the occasion.
I also touch on the ongoing trend of predominantly Black artists in the spotlight since Jay-Z’s influence on the music scene, and the importance of appealing to a broader audience, including white listeners who are loving country music right now.
Lastly in the episode, I clarify my thoughts on DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) policies, explaining how Black men and poor communities are largely excluded, while Black women and upper-middle-class individuals benefit most from these initiatives.
Tune in for a mix of sports, music, and social issues as we break down some of the most talked-about topics today!
