February 22, 2025 Drake or Kendrick? An Ill-Informed Debate and 2025 NBA-All Star Weekend - Trash or Not?
On this week's episode, our RETURN EPISODE, the fellas—Panama, Jibri, Corey and Frank—discuss the 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend and its new format. Was it dope or trash? And then the fellas weigh in on the most important non-political topic in African America: Kendrick versus Drake, and who won. You might be surprised to hear who has which artist as the victor. Spoiler Alert: Everybody does not think Kendrick won.
And because we believe in tradition at the Blacktastic Podcast Network, we leave you with a Blackamendation, a recommendation by, for and about Black culture that we think you should look into; Panama is on Blackamendation duty this week.
Thanks for sleepwalking and have a Black one!
