I hope you've been enjoying a safe and positive July 4th weekend.

Lets unpack an ugly truth about hip-hop and what can we do to repair the destruction. In 1993, C. Delores Tucker was calling for boycotts of rap artist such as Snoop, Pac and Ice-T. She said the misogyny, violent language of ourselves and towards each other were seeds being planted to brainwash black youth and destroying us.

The child I was then didn't understand. The man I've become lets me know, we should have let her cook. Let's discuss the good, bad, ugly, unfortunate and the why on today's episode.

Due to the time sensitive nature of the content, I couldn't wait on this! The cool thing about transitioning this into a music podcast is that I'm always ready to talk about music and the people in it.

The verdict is in! Diddy is found NOT GUILTY of Sex Trafficking and Racketeering charges. However is now absolutely considered a violent, drug abusing, domestic abuser who will buy prostitutes.

Where do we go from here?

How do YOU feel about Diddy now?

Why did they overcharge him?

How will the industry react?

Let's talk about ALL OF IT!
