  • It's What You Entertain

    This week the Vexed Intellects (with special guest Tonya Cole) discuss the continuing saga of rapper DaBaby as famed music festivals Lollapalooza, Governors Ball, & Music Midtown (among others) removed the Interscope Records recording artist from their lineups following controversial comments made during his performance at Rolling Loud Miami. 


    DaBaby has since apologized (twice) for the offensive comments, but continues to lose opportunities. As culture critics DJ Akademiks & Dr. Boyce Watkins question if the "morality" play by the festivals is hypocritical, artists like Elton John, Madonna, Questlove, & others chimed in to publicly chastise the rapper causing many people on the social media timeline(s) to ask if this is considered piling on at this point. 


    Is it virtue signaling? How "accountable" should we hold a young, admittedly uninformed artist? The Intellects unpack the many layers to this topic, plus...


    Intimacy without commitment, paying for sex, reciprocating effort, "settling" in relationships, attracting the right partner, "boyfriend" d*ck vs "one-night stand" d*ck, & a follow-up to the "what do you bring to the table" conversation. 


    These topics & much, much, more on this episode of The Vexed Intellects!

  • Crock Pot
    Rolling Loud festival took place in Miami last weekend, & while a clip of rapper Coi Leray's dance moves (& the crowd's lack of enthusiasm for her performance) was initially the most viral moment of the 3-day event, Da Baby would soon change that as he snatched headlines with his controversial performance Sunday night. Gay rights activists & artists spoke out against the rapper for his comments on HIV & fellatio. Lil Nas X also started controversy last week with his new video for the song "Industry Baby" where one scene depicts black men nude in a jailhouse shower dancing & twerking. The Vexed Intellects discuss the dueling firestorms surrounding these two artists plus...
    Billionaire LeBron, bride Issa Rae, temporary Mercedes-Benz Stadium tenant Kanye West, cancelling Kevin Samuels, Ed Buck, R.Kelly, & a plethora of relationship scenarios. These topics & much, much, more on this episode of The Vexed Intellects! #getvexed & enjoy!

  • The Prize

    There are two types of electric charge: positive and negative. With this in mind, on the 268 year anniversary of Benjamin Franklin's lightning conductor/kite-flying experiment, it's only right that the Vexed Intellects discuss all of the positive & negative stories that kept the internet buzzing this week!


    The positives: Teyana Taylor is Maxim's 1st black sexiest woman alive, Snoop Dogg is the new senior strategic advisor at Def Jam, & the women of Mexico will receive free boob jobs if candidate Rocio Pino is voted into office in Mexico's chamber of duties.


    The negatives: Florida men 'Florida-manning', racism induced obesity, willing cuckoldry, & the attempted normalization of wearing the same underwear for 10 days straight. Plus...


    Attractive privilege vs white privilege, alpha males vs beta males, aggressive women vs peace seeking men, the decline in newborns being named Karen, & women's sexual liberation possibly resulting in less masculine men... 


    These topics & much, much more! #getvexed & enjoy!
