Ep.54 - Recess, Electioneering & White Hip-Hop Audiences

In a week where:

1. Former South Yorkshire Police Chief David Duckenfield found not guilty of manslaughter in the Hillsborough trials.
2. Two people are killed in a terrorist attack at London Bridge.
3. Train fares are going to rise by 2.7%
4. UEFA expects the 2020 Euros to be "Racism Free". 
5. Billy Dee Williams is Gender Fluid.
6. Lionel Messi wins a record 6th Ballon D'or
7. Kamala Harris drops out of the Democratic Primary.
8. On Jay-Z's 50th birthday, he blesses the masses by putting his discography on non-Tidal streaming platforms.

In the first Music segment: (10:24) Rapper Noname is in the news for not liking a majority white audience at her shows and brought up a great piece from last year that critiques majority-white Hip-Hop audiences for black artists.

In the 2nd Music Topic: (28:28) Kendrick Lamar has a flair for on-point acting. Whether it's his live performances or his glorious music videos, it begs the question; how has Kendrick not been offered significant acting roles?

In Life: (39:03) With the General Election coming next week, I thought it'd be a good time to talk about "Electioneering" and how the Internet is probably the most influential tool for politicians.

Lastly, in Film/TV: (49:49) We've talked about the Streaming Wars & Disney's unofficial monopoly on the Film/TV industry. Well, I found a video that used a Disney classic to explain how scary a Disney monopoly (or any monopoly) can be.

Thank you for listening! If you want to contribute to the show, whether it be sending me questions or voicing your opinion in any way, peep the contact links below and I'll respond accordingly. Let me know "What's Good?"
