N.W.A’s “Dopeman” Is one of the illest songs ever made because it takes you deep into the drug dealer’s perspective on selling drugs. The crack dealer was evil but we should still seek to understand what drove him and when we look into his soul we find that like the fiends he served, he too was an addict, but he was addicted to power and money. Crack dealers and their culture had a deep influence on hiphop culture and the Black community. In this ep we go into "Dopeman” with The D.O.C. from NWA and talk to several former drug dealers about how dealers changed the world around them.
Guests:
Nelson George, Filmmaker
Royce Da 5’9, Rapper
Biba Adams, Writer
The D.O.C., Rapper
Samson Styles, Journalist and Filmmaker
Kevin Chiles, CEO Don Diva Magazine
