Today Mario, Ken and Trevor sit down to discuss the Buffalo shooting, social justice in general, and then take a break from the heavy stuff to talk about Kendrick’s new album as well as past trends in the world of hip hop and end the conversation with a round of movies from the past and present.

DISCLAIMER: Due to issues with the platform used to record this episode there are brief moments where the conversation is dropped. We were able to successfully edit the audio back together but there will be brief moments of the conversation that get dropped. We thought this conversation was too important to scrap the episode over a small portion being missing and we hope you agree. Please know we are continuing to look into this issue so that it no longer interrupts your listening experience and we thank you for your patience.
