Grammy, Gucci, Savage

/Understated

In this episode, we talk about the recent news regarding rapper, 21 Savage, being detained by ICE officials on February 3, 2019. To find the details about this situation and our take on what's going on stay tuned.

We also discuss the recent controversy regarding the Gucci sweaters released last week and their resemblance to racially insensitive blackface caricatures. We talk about how this issue is directly related to Hip Hop as this music genre has become the face and the evangelist of many of these high luxury brands that exploit and rehash moments of Black American denigration for profit.

We couldn’t forget about the Grammy nominees for the major Hip Hop & R&B awards. We discuss our take on the history of the awards and make some predictions on who is going to win. If you are planning on watching the Grammys, this will be a good preview of what to look for. As always thanks for listening.
