<description>&lt;p&gt; Will an era of rap that's finally making room for its male elders make equitable space for women and MaGes too? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; For this conversation we use the Clipse epic rollout as grown ass rappers (Pusha T, 48 &amp; Malice, 53) launching their highly rated album and successful tour - to explore the experiences and P.O.V of Black women in and around the industry. I promise you it's not a reach. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; Culture writer Starr Rocque &amp; PR Strategist Uchechi Chinyere join me to discuss all things Clipse, hip-hop, Black women &amp; femmes. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; You don’t have to know shxt about the Clipse or their latest album Let God Sort Em’ Out to enjoy this conversation, but also please email and let me know how you managed to avoid knowing shxt about the Clipse during this very Clipse 2025. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; I think it's important to note that Tyler the Creator who shows up in one of the best features of the album is queer. We mention his feature, but not his queerness, which IS relevant in THIS conversation. &lt;/p&gt;

What the Clipse "Album Of The Year" Has To Do With Black Women (and why we HAVE to talk about it)

<description>&lt;p&gt; 00:00 Intro &amp; updates &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; 04:57 Who is Deanté Kyle &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; 06:52 Men with podcast mics &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; 12:49 How video podcasting is a call back to an earlier podcast era &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; 15:42 The problem &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; 29:42 Jess Hilarious &amp; The Breakfast Club &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; 31:46 Not every transphobe is a TERF &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; 34:50 Jess Hilarious hates “real women” too &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; 41:17 What’s wrong with birth-centric womanhood &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; This episode was recorded prior to Deanté Kyle’s use of a derogatory slur (typically used against Mexican Americans) in an instagram comment and does not address that incident.

The Problem With Deanté Kyle & Jess Hilarious Hates "Real Women" Too

The Politics of Black Style: Gender, Resistance, Black Dandyism & why the Met gala was kinda slavey

<description>&lt;p&gt; Before my solo Sinners review, I sat with actor/comedian Chris Lamberth on The Mundane Festival podcast for a fresh-out-the-theater spoiler filled review, and got to cover a few additional themes that were on my mind. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; We get into the Black British actor debate, church-y-ness and a fear of spirit (we're seeing a lot of that fear in some Christian's negative reactions to the film), Mary's 'whiteness' and more. (Note: The film had just come out at the time of this recording, so I confuse Mary and Annie's name a few times) &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; 6:05 Michael B. Jordan THE ACTOR &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; 10:13 The Black British actor debate &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; 24:09 The world building of 1932 Mississippi &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; 25:02 Lie-max vs IMAX &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; 28:11 Family, Community &amp; Connection &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; 31:44 The importance of movie theaters &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; 34:26 Hoodoo, Anti-Blackness &amp; the Church &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; 38:21 white Mary &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; 44:01 "Revenge" and "life" vs. "death" &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; 53:57 Brotherhood beyond death &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; 57:42 Ranking Ryan Coogler films &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; 1:00:58 Ryan Coogler's unique press run &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; 1:07:09 Why some Christians are afraid of Sinners and Beyoncé &lt;/p&gt;
