The political landscape can be confusing. But it doesn't have to be. If you've survived jr high, lived in an urban city or understand gang life, you can understand geopolitics. Join rapper and author Propaganda and his friends as they use their hood-knowledge to break down the political scene.
It’s not really that different. It’s just different vocabulary. Because after all, politics is just gang banging in nice suits.

| 0:00.0 | Yo, West West, everybody. My name is Propaganda or Prop for short. I mean, I'll answer to any of it. |
| 0:06.9 | I'm going to give y'all some game real quick. I want to put you on in my podcast called Hood Politics. |
| 0:12.7 | Black people always want to do something real quick. Anyway, let me tell you where I'm coming from. |
| 0:19.4 | I firmly believe that if you understand hood life, gang life, |
