We open the show with the word of the day (3:10): https://www.wordgenius.com/all-words/eschew/?audio=true

This week, we discuss one of the most talked-about stories from last week: Tekashi 69’s testimony (22:30). We go in-depth on the morals and integrity of a hip-hop gangster, snitching, how this will impact hip-hop in 20 years, and much more.

We then discuss the Revolt Summit with Killer Mike, T.I., Candace Owens, and others (1:07:44). Feefo provides an update on Spider-Man (1:38:33) and Ken discusses A.I. technology being used in the classrooms (1:39:50).

We close out the show with comment commentary (1:44:48) and answer a very interesting Pass the Mic segment (1:51:50).
