This episode is hosted by D. and Ken, with no guests. The guys talk a host of topics including West Coast hip-hop, particularly Tupac vs. Kendrick Lamar, the relationship between financial and mental health struggles, and the effects of personal trauma and the need for mental health help within the Black community, using personal childhood stories to illustrate. A very raw, honest episode and a welcome change of pace from most usual episodes.

This episode has Kenny and T. cohosting with no guests.
We discuss Nas and Will Smith’s new financial literacy app for teens Step and how various wings of woke Twitter were bashing the app without even seeming to read what the app was even about. We also go into Nas’s consistently incoherent fake-deep political philosophy over the years. We discuss NYC Black people’s willingness to let Hispanics and others to use the word “nigga” and Bay Area Black people’s willingness to let everyone use the word and how that differs from Black people from other regions. We also discuss how socialists often put too much importance and emphasis on the socialism of the Black Panthers, especially when trying to use them as examples of eschewing identity politics.
