The Chop Up

On the Conscious Chop, the crew discusses their disagreement with the idea of putting black hero, Harriet Tubman on the U.S. $20 bill and gives our choice for who should appear on the bill instead

On the Political Chop, @thepoliticalplug introduces a study that has determined that discrimination has gone down since Trump's election. We call bullshit and explain why. Also, we have a discussion about the continues disproportionate dip in black unemployment.

In this chill Q & A segment, "5Q," or 5 Questions are asked to @thepoliticalp;ug and @toyuhgee. Listen in as they answer some tough and equally fun questions about how they tend to see things

There is always some black person, somewhere, capping a little too hard for white people in proximity to blackness. The example we give is with Leakaveli's song "Let the White Kids Say Nigga." and social media's LOVE for white people doing black things. But there are levels to this shit...so we also drop the names of the white people who we can reasonably defend at the cookout itself

Are reparations really just a "payoff?" and if so, is that a bad thing? Is Joe Biden the Hillary Clinton of 2020? Can he win? Who is your ideal candidate? All important questions put on the table in the Political Chop, facilitated by @ThePoliticalPlug

To open the show, the crew discusses Facebook's decision to ban Louis Farrakhan, among others, in an attempt to decrease hate speech and Antisemitism

@TheConsciousLee guides an in-depth conversation about black folks and government assistance, the ways we were introduced to notions of "class" growing up, and the most valuable tips we have learned about money

Now that the Mueller Report is out, but moderately redacted, @thepoloticalplug opens up a conversation about how black people should navigate political corruption and if people as a collective should be invested in the political process in the face of blatant lies and cover-ups by the government

In the Conscious Chop, @theconsciouslee opens up a discussion about the recent ourpour of support for the fire-engulfed Notre Dame Cathedral in France and the compassion that is missing from society regarding the churches that were set ablaze in the South earlier this month

The Chop Up crew open up the show discussing the recent domestic violence drama between rapper, GHerbo and Ari, a personality in the hip hop world
