Late but still great. No BBQ invite? Our favorite cultural agitator and friend of the show, Marcus K. Dowling joins us for an impromptu discussion on Jay Z's latest release. With critics and fans alike calling this his best work, it's also his most polarizing. Social media has been abuzz (read: a mess) since Friday. We break down the most discussed opinions on the album - #MenAreTrash, what Black Empowerment means to black nationalists & black socialists (and everyone in between), Apathy leading to Catharsis leading to Vulnerability, and the metaphorical death of Jay Z. You'll also hear a woman's point-of-view from one of our studio visitors (Peace to Arielle). Let us know what you think in the comments or on social media.

Spread the word and follow us. All The Fly Kids on everything.
