Erica Mena calls dancehall queen, Spice, a monkey. We dissect the cultural implications about the racial slur and the aftermath of the social backlash.

Episode Breakdown:

What's truly going on behind the scenes of celebrity relationships? Is black love being accurately reflected by these public figures? Unravel the complexities of Remy Ma and Papoose's relationship as we dissect the controversies and speculation surrounding them. We question whether Papoose's fame is due to his marriage to Remy, and if being a 'nice guy' makes him a 'stand-up guy'. Also, we emphasize the importance of refraining from making assumptions, especially when neither Remy nor Papoose have publicly addressed the rumors.

Dive into the dynamics of star-studded relationships, often viewed as flawless from the outside, but potentially riddled with issues behind closed doors. We discuss how this influences our perceptions, referencing high-profile examples like Oprah and her former partner. The conversation then shifts gears to the Super Bowl halftime show, talking about the reasons Taylor Swift and Lizzo turned down the gig, and the ripple effects of Usher being the host.

Lastly, brace yourself as we discuss the shocking arrest in the Tupac Shakur murder case, over two decades after the incident. Why did it take nearly 30 years to apprehend Southside Crip Keefe D? Could there be a connection between Tupac and Biggie's murder? The final section of our conversation revolves around the racial controversy on Reality TV, spurred by Erica Mena's racial slur. We debate the implications of racism, anger, and the power of words. Join us for a gripping and insightful discussion on these pressing topics.

Other topics discussed:

Joe Biden referring to LL Cool J as LL J Cool and calling him "boy'.

Step into the heart of Hip Hop history withour latest episode. Picture this: 50 years of hip-hop and we're celebrating it at the heart of the Bronx - Yankee Stadium. We kick off this episode pouring our thoughts on today's trending topics, from Alabama's buzz to Wayne Brady's recent revelation about his pansexuality. But that's not all. We also engage in some serious talk about the Lizzo body shaming controversy, and Tory Lane's decade-long sentence.

Did you catch the hip-hop event at Yankee Stadium? It was a night to remember, with legends like Common, KRS-One, Ghostface, and Method Man lighting up the stage. The cultural cocktail of attendees was a sight to behold and a true testament to Hip-Hop’s global impact. And let's not forget those unexpected moments of brilliance - Doug E. Fresh's beatboxing skills, Kid-Capri's scratch session, and Nas' outstanding performance. We were left in awe and surprise, given Nas wasn't even billed for the event!

As we wrap up, we take a moment to relive and review the unforgettable evening. We saw performances that ranged from TI's flawless execution of verses to Fat Joe's infectious energy, Run-DMC headlining and even the surprise appearance of the enigmatic Ms. Lauryn Hill. But beyond the music and the performances, it's the spirit of unity and celebration that truly captured our hearts. We also speculate about who might grace the stage at next year's event and discuss why hip-hop artists can never really outgrow their roots. So, grab your headphones and join us as we celebrate, critique, and anticipate the future of hip-hop.
