Will an era of rap that's finally making room for its male elders make equitable space for women and MaGes too? 

 For this conversation we use the Clipse epic rollout as grown ass rappers (Pusha T, 48 & Malice, 53) launching their highly rated album and successful tour - to explore the experiences and P.O.V of Black women in and around the industry. I promise you it's not a reach. 

 Culture writer Starr Rocque & PR Strategist Uchechi Chinyere join me to discuss all things Clipse, hip-hop, Black women & femmes. 

 You don’t have to know shxt about the Clipse or their latest album Let God Sort Em’ Out to enjoy this conversation, but also please email and let me know how you managed to avoid knowing shxt about the Clipse during this very Clipse 2025. 

 I think it's important to note that Tyler the Creator who shows up in one of the best features of the album is queer. We mention his feature, but not his queerness, which IS relevant in THIS conversation.

What the Clipse "Album Of The Year" Has To Do With Black Women (and why we HAVE to talk about it)

Two hundred fifty years of slavery. Ninety years of Jim Crow. Sixty years of separate but equal. Thirty-five years of racist housing policy. Until we reckon with our compounding moral debts, America will never be whole.

Challenge worry with tea: Skullcap!
Scutellaria is a genus of North American flowering plants in the mint family. They are known commonly as skullcaps. Skullcap is used for insomnia, anxiety, and paralysis caused by strokes. It is also used for fever, high cholesterol, epilepsy, nervous tension, allergies, skin infections, inflammation, and spasms. It works on things that cause inflammation and can induce sleep. Especially good if you experience your anxiety in your body (cant sit still, toss and turn, jaw clenching, pacing, fidgeting). Works on our central nervous system relaxing us.
