The brothers of MMSN are back with a new episode that tackles the Haitian debacle at the border,  debates the positive and negative merits of social media in lieu of Facebook's latest study on its platforms, and finally, we question whether the latest two Verzuz battles, and there competitive nature, are the future for the platform. 

Kanye and Drake battled for weeks over Social Media as they prepared to drop long-delayed and highly anticipated new albums. Well, the music is here. Was it worth the extended wait? Who dropped the better piece of work? The MMSN crew breaks down each album and has definitive thoughts on who came out on top and who didn't. Finally, we reflect on the life of Michael K. Williams, another powerful actor lost way too soon.

Where were you on 9/11? What do you remember? What has stayed with you? Well the brothers of MMSN, examine these and other complex  questions about the greatest modern day attack on American soil. The fellas were in both  D.C. and NYC on that day, and share their experiences. So please join us as we tackle terrorism, politics, patriotism, and privacy in the shadow of 9/11.    

Is a musical massacre possible? Well if we didn't know before, we know now! And the answer is yes, because The Lox murdered Dipset at the world famous arena Madison Square Garden! Well MMSN watched the crime go down and had a whole lot to say. We also respond to the the Delta variant uptick of Covid-19 and the lackluster response of too many Americans. 

MMSN comes together for a tribute of the  career and life of  beat boxin' MC Biz Markie!  

Tulsa, Guns, and Naomi Osaka! MMSN looks into the Greenwood race massacre in Tulsa. OK and the immeasurable impact that and other race massacres have had on Black America.

The guys also unpack the mass shooting phenomenons that have essentially reached normality in the U.S. What's with the love of guns, and the monthly mass shootings we've so easily learned to live with? And finally, we discuss the colossal failure of the French Open organizers and how they handled Naomi Osaka's request to bypass media obligations during the event. We'll examine Osaka, the organizers, and the choices that led to Naomi ultimately leaving the event. MMSN got something to say, and we invite you to join. So listen to us unpack, then debate the event, form your own opinion, and in the end, let us know what you think!  

 Every year thousands of underprivileged students "sell their pain," emphasizing the effects of poverty on their lives in admission essays to college admission counselors across the nation. Brooklyn, NY student Elijah Megginson rejected that choice and expressed so in a NY Times op-ed piece. MMSN debates the matter, is this "poverty porn" for liberal universities, or is the matter more complex? We explore. 

Computer algorithms affect our lives, making life-altering decisions in the shadows, making choices that impact every aspect of our daily living. As if that alone isn't bad enough, we now know racism has crept its way into the programming. It is impacting hiring, employment, banking, housing, and, yes, your very freedom. The fellas definitely have something to say about this one. 

They're  playing basketball! The NBA playoffs are in full swing and the MMSN crew weighs in. We also talk Brooklyn Nets, the lackluster LA Clippers, the surprising NY Knicks and why the "business decision" to not defend against a slam dunk  is the weakest move in all of sports.  Finally we  give our predictions on the playoffs and Chris Webber's sudden departure from TNT. .      

Ageism in hip hop, can an MC rap after he turns 30? MMSN does a deep dive to find out if so, how so. We also discuss the CDC and their continuous updates.
