Summary

When Sticky Fingaz and Fredro Starr show up to the People’s Party with Talib Kweli, you know it’s going to be a good time. The duo are two of the realest and most authentic OGs in the game. They’re also bitingly funny and full of fantastic insight. Kweli and co-host Jasmin Leigh lead a discussion that charts Onyx’s whole discography -- while bringing in bigger thematic conversations about police violence, the state of rap, and social justice. If you bounced to mega-hit “Slam” in the 90s or remember the crazy, chaotic “Thrwo Ya Gunz” video, you won’t want to miss a second of this episode. It’s real, raw, and fun as hell.
