The Corporate dude and his Apprentice are telling rappers and black performers in general to sit out from the Super Bowl halftime show. Is that a good idea or a missed opportunity? We have some wildly different opinions on it. Then we talk about that interview Me!bro did with the king of Count and the Amount. In between those topics we have a lot of other good stuff too!
