19: Pro-BLACK + INTERRACIAL DATING: Is it a CONTRADICTION? ¦ Review: This Is America ¦ Godcast Freestyle

Yanadameen Godcast episode #019

With the Newark mayoral elections recently concluded, Lord Jamar and Rah Digga briefly recap the outcome (2:26) and talk about Rah Digga's thoughts of running for local office (5:48)

As the new single from Childish Gambino, "This Is America", sets the charts on fire, Lord Jamar and Rah Digga discuss the artistic merit of the video (12:43), the meaning of the video (14:59), and ask whether the song could have stood on its own without the visual element to support it (21:35)?

Lord Jamar also questions whether someone can be pro-Black when they are in an interracial relationship (23:53) and if Donald Glover is compensating for having children with a white woman by playing this "Pro-Black"/"Black Power" card (32:41)

Also in this episode, Lord Jamar ignites THAT debate about "The top 5 MCs" (35:18) before special guest Aaron Cooks blesses the Godcast with the show's first freestyle session (52:59).
