Politickin' With Eddie

This week, we cover the passing of Supreme Court Justice and excellent human being Ruth Bader Ginsberg. What was her final wish and how quickly did Trump and Republicans trample on it?

This week on Politickin' With Eddie, we cover the Bob Woodward interviews with Trump that have started to come out in the media in advance of the new book RAGE. These tapes are very interesting.

Moving on to new music, we cover new singles from Young Thug and TI as well as Spillage Village. We then discuss new albums from Youngboy Never Broke Again, B.o.B, and of course the long awaited release FROM KING TO A GOD from Conway The Machine.

On this episode of Politickin' With Eddie, we talk the DNC and RNC conventions. Then we ask the real question: Who do we REALLY think will win in November? We talk Jacob Blake and Kenosha. Then, we discuss the Trump Administration’s recent statement that they would be willing to fast track COVID vaccines before final trials are finished. Would you be a comfortable taking a vaccine placed on the market faster than normal for political reasons? We then move on to new singles from King Von, Big Sean and Nipsey Hussle.  We also talk the new remake of Fight The Power with Public Enemy, Nas, Rapsody, Black Thought and YG. We finish by discussing new projects from Nas, Jaden and The Lox. A slight warning: the audio is perhaps the worst it has ever been on this episode as this was the first one we recorded in person since the pandemic started and apparently one (mine) of the mics wasn’t on, so I sound a bit faint and it also kinda sounds like we are in the car. This will all be fixed by next week and the pod will be sounding better than ever starting the next episode. I wouldn’t have even put this up normally but there are some really good discussions in here…Don’t forget to subscribe and follow us on social media!

We then move on to education: what about the kids in poverty who don’t have access to good internet or iPads or computers at home? How will this disparity affect this school year? Why isn’t the media talking about this enough? We also talk the Democratic National Convention which is this week IN VIRTUAL FORM! In terms of new music we cover the new single from Drake and Lil Durk which is full of Kanye disses. Is *now* the best time for Drake to be going at Kanye West on a single?

Is a former law enforcement official the smartest move in 2020? How much are we looking forward to the VP debate with Mike Pence? If Kanye actually follows through and puts effort into this Presidential campaign after admitting the purpose is to hurt Joe Biden, should there be an effort in hip hop to keep him the fuck out? WAP - the new single from Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion. What did we think? Why are conservatives/lames like Ben Shapiro so upset about it?
