Three Brothers & a Microphone

Jay, aka Average Bro and the Uppity Negro chop it up this week about President Trump visiting the Smithsonian's African American History museum, some #OscarSoWhite speculations and the lackluster NBA All Star game. Somehow the two find themselves drilling down on the week that produced #HurtBae and some of the more wonkish parts of the two-party system moving forward and looking at mid-terms 2018.

Literally less than two hours after Donald Trump's first press conference as president, Average Bro and the Uppity Negro delve into the the spectacle that it turned into, not to mention Beyonce and the Grammys and comedian Nick Cannon walking away from his contract with "America's Got Talent." Toward the end we turn to sports with the NBA All-Star games this weekend. We close out with suggestions for the week.

As we settle into the new normal, the Three Brothers, minus Rippa, discuss black athletes in the Age of Trump and post-Super Bowl, we find ourselves discussing the cabal that Trump is amassing, better known as the Cabinet as well as the hot water George Lopez has found himself in recently. And somehow, the Migos are the center of yet another discussion amongst ourselves. And recommendations at the end.

Trump continues to dominate the leading discussion--should the feds go to Chicago, but Jay and the Uppity Negro bounce around conversation about the New Edition miniseries biopic, the death of the WorldStar Hip Hop creator, the celebrity of the Migos and "Bad & Boujee" and finally was Cornel West right about Barack Obama?

Average Bro and the Uppity Negro discuss all things leading up the inauguration: black performers at the inauguration; "mediocre Negroes" who are meeting the Don; black cultural representations in Hollywood and everything inbetween

In our first-and-a-half episode, five days before the election, we talk about Clinton and Trump and black voter suppression, Lil Wayne and Black Lives Matters, and the superb genius of FX's "Atlanta" --and a host of others things in between.
