28: Black Don't Crack

Jay-Z and Rockefeller Records, 2016 Campaign Support

The naming of Jay-Z's "Roc-A-Fella Records" is linked to the punitive Rockefeller Drug Laws of New York. The hosts find it hypocritical that Jay-Z and Beyonce campaigned for Hillary Clinton in 2016, given her past "super predator" rhetoric and the legislative history of the Democratic party. The segment characterizes the celebrity endorsement as a betrayal of the communities affected by those laws.
