Join Troy *@tallblackguy) and Terry (@docmidnight) as we get back into it. A 2 hour extravaganza, because we've just now kinda recovered from Black Panther and have a ton of stuff to talk about.  In this episode, Terry hips you to new comics, expounds on why baseball sucks in the early season, raves about good TV, and introduces you to metal that isn't death-related. Troy wants you to listen to grown-folk hiphop, agonizes over the dichotomy of problematic people making great art, and sings the praises of the Black hockey players in the Stanley Cup playoffs. We then delve into Kendrick Lamar getting a Pulitzer; what does that mean for him and for hiphop in general? Terry warns him, Troy is more...pragmatic? As usual, thank you SO MUCH for listening! 25 episodes is a pretty significant milestone; we're glad that you've been able to share with us.

Join Troy (@tallblackguy) and Terry (@docmidnight) as we venture off into a little bit more politics on this Black History Month special.
