It's the official 2025 State of Blackness Address. Today we look back at a year in Blackness. Diddy, 50 Cent, Nicki Minaj going MAGA, Stephen A. Smith, D'Angelo's tragic passing. All that and more.

It never fails, when some BIPOC commits some sort of crime, the entire group is punished. Of course we are referring to the President's response to the killing of the two National Guard members in DC by an Afghan immigrant.

Since our President has chosen to speak so ill about many of our US cities, specifically calling them hellscapes, I figured I would find people I know that are from there and live there and ask them "Is this in fact a hellscape?" Today we talk to Bridget Todd about her beloved hellscape: Washington, DC.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is beefing with the MAGA base and she's actually making statements I rock with. But just because I rock with what she's saying doesn't mean she can come to the cookout.
