In this episode, we discuss the tragic shooting of Eddie Irizarry in Philadelphia by former police officer Mark Dial. We lay out the discrepancies between the police report and body cam footage, question the justice system's response to this heart-wrenching incident, and ponder the potential of peaceful protests to effect change.
But that's not all. We're also dialing up the volume on a critique of the current state of hip-hop music. We're tracing the genre's progression and questioning its evolution by contrasting the thought-provoking rhymes of classic artists with the drill rap that dominates the industry today. We ask why the industry glamorizes ratchet behavior from female artists and how it impacts our community.
