39: Hard Pass

Mariah Carey, Tommy Mottola, and Corporate Hypocrisy

Mariah Carey's career is analyzed as a shift from a "racially ambiguous" pop star under Tommy Mottola to an artist who embraced Black culture later in her career. The hosts criticize the hypocrisy of Black media executives who embrace such stars for profit while shunning others. They conclude that "green" (money) is often the only color that truly matters in the entertainment industry.
