Waiting on Reparations

The Best of Rhymes, The Worst of Times

This week, hosts Dope KNife and Linqua Franqa draw 2020 to a close with a recap on the biggest stories in politics and hip hop, from the assassination of Qasem Soleimani and the portents of war that kickstarted January to the spring's presidential primary ups-and-downs, to the summer's twin detonations of Covid and Black Lives Matter to where we are now: still in lockdown, still fighting for Black Life, still spittin' mad bars. Along the way, they revisit some of the year's tragic losses, buzziest headlines, and best albums, including Eminem's latest drop, RTJ's hat-tip to the BLM movement, and Benny the Butcher's Burden of Proof. They close with a few predictions for the year to come and wish you a very safe and happy New Year -- thanks for hanging with us in 2020!
