  • Is Your Cutoff Game Too Strong?

    Special guests, psychologist DR.

When we make major changes in our lives to level up, how do we best determine who stays and who goes?

  • Is Perpetual Struggle A Hustle?

    On this show, we explore the concept of those who genuinely work on behalf of the BLACK COMMUNITY versus those who simply use RACE as a way to hustle the BLACK COMMUNITY out of money. If a BLACK person talks down on America, it will resonate within the BLACK COMMUNITY, but is this approach the best way to uplift the community?  Several leaders in the AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY, to include, LOUIS FARRAKHAN, AL SHARPTON, DR. UMAR JOHNSON, and others, have been called "ambulance chasers" when it comes to race, but are their solutions effective or outdated?  Can the BLACK COMMUNITY find a better way to move past the struggle? MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK

Some Black people consider BLACK REPUBLICANS to be RACE TRAITORS, whereas many BLACK REPUBLICANS think the REPUBLICAN party is a better choice for the AFRICAN AMERICAN community. Were they ever DEMOCRATIC VOTERS?  As BLACK REPUBLICANS which PRESIDENTIAL campaign are they more excited about Senator TIM SCOTT’S or former PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S? MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK

  • Hip Hop: Self Destruction or Government Controlled?

    Special guest, SUPREME RA, co-host of Hip Hop School: Past & Present podcast drops by to discuss the age-old debate of why mainstream HIP-HOP lyrical content seems limited to SEX, DRUGS, & VIOLENCE. Did the GOVERNMENT or RECORD-LABELS conspire to destroy the redeeming messages in early HIP-HOP or did the demand of young consumers dictate the direction of the content?  Does HIP-HOP empower or degrade BLACK WOMEN? In recent times HIP HOP LYRICS have even come into question in CRIMINAL CASES, is this an attack on FREE SPEECH, or should HIP-HOP artists be held accountable for destructive lyrics? MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK
