The Book Are Pop Culture Podcast is back with episode 5!
On this iteration of BAPC the fellas discuss Casey Gerald, who, in an interview with Creative Independent, shows us how to vibrate on a higher frequency; States (Virginia in particular) and their continued attempts to ban Toni Morrison's Beloved from being taught in schools; Akili talks about the rapper he would have been and why we shouldn't rule out the possibility of him becoming a 38 year old rapper down the line; Reggie Discusses his latest barbershop chronicle, which includes an act of villainy that is unheard of & probably uncalled for, and Reggie receives good news from Akili, because for the meager price of $80 (only accepted in 4 installments of $19.99) he can get the haircut he has always wanted from Akili and his new clippers.
