31: LeBron's School ¦ Rah Digga BOSSES UP on Lord Jamar [Full Show]
This week's show covers a wide spectrum of topics beginning with the news of LeBron James opening a school in his hometown Akron, Ohio (6:11). Lord Jamar and Rah Digga discuss this in the broader context of the curriculum and funding of the school and what intentions LeBron has for the school?
Skitzo makes a return to the Godcast with a "Word On The Street" segment covering the ban on smoking in public housing by the New York City Housing Authority (21:46). What is behind this action - public health or gentrification (29:28)?
Showing, once again, how passionate they are about all things hiphop, things get turned up a few notches when discussion switches to The G.O.A.T. Debate and Lord Jamar puts forward the position that a criteria for being included in the GOAT discussion is having a club banger - which Eminem doesn't have (41:00).
Lastly, Rah Digga raises the topic of the State of The Black Union and why it seems that the relationship between Black men and Black women has hit an all-time low? This once again, sparks an intense debate with Rah Digga snapping on Lord Jamar's claim that Black men, historically, felt they had to straighten their hair in order to please Black women (56:20)
