Summary

In this episode, Godfrey and the crew (Dante Nero, Akeem Woods, and Vishnu Vaka) dig deep into culture, history, and hypocrisy. Who really built American music to why certain people lose their minds when the playing field feels even. They break down cultural appropriation vs. respect, the Super Bowl halftime outrage, political double standards, and the erased history of Black inventors who shaped everyday life. Legendary Comedian Godfrey is LIVE from New York, and joins some of his best friends in stand up comedy, Hip-Hop and Hollywood to talk current events, pop culture, race issues, movies, music, TV and Kung Fu. We got endless impressions, a white producer, random videos Godfrey found on the internet and so much more!

That's how you're supposed to do it. Like, what's going on, man? You're cruising for a prison. That's the white dude way to do it. Now, they'd be like, What's up, Nick? They do this. They literally take what a black person would say to fight a black dude. It's just constant death. It's constant death on everything. It's so crazy because it's like, you could be a cool white dude without cosplaying a black dude. Yeah. It's possible. You don't have to be that way.
