This week, we’re kicking things off with The Wave God himself — Max B is finally home after 16 years behind bars. The Harlem legend’s release has the internet in a frenzy, with hip-hop showing love to one of the most influential voices of the blog era. The culture’s celebrating a legend who influenced a whole sound before streaming even existed. Is he getting the flowers he always deserved?

Then we dive into the rumors of Damson Idris taking over as the new Black Panther — could he really pull off T’Challa, or is Marvel forcing a reboot nobody asked for?

From there, we get into Kanye West’s public apology to a Rabbi for his past antisemitic remarks — is this a genuine moment of growth, or just another PR redemption arc before the next Yeezy rollout? And can mental health explain away hate, or are some lines you can’t un-cross?

Next up, we break down Trump’s promise of a “$2,000 Tariff Dividend” for all Americans except the wealthy. Is this a real plan or just another campaign stunt dressed up as economics? And does it actually help working-class families, or just give us back the money inflation already took?

Then we step into the ring — Shakur Stevenson vs. Teofimo Lopez is official for January 31st in NYC. Who really wants it more: the defensive technician or the pressure fighter with something to prove?

And in this week’s 8793 Quickfire:

If your friend is stuck in a toxic relationship — do you step in or mind your business?

Premium laughs. Real takes only.
