Charlamagne tha God has been dominating hip-hop radio for years,
and lately, his influence has extended far beyond the music
industry; for better or worse, Charlamagne has become one of the
go-to voices for political discourse in the Black community. And
while his comments often resonate with The Breakfast Club audience,
they've also been picked up by political operatives across party
lines. This week, Brittany sits down with Democratic pollster
Terrance Woodbury and POLITICO National Correspondent Brakkton
Booker to discuss Charlamagne's power as a pundit and if tha God's
politics are indicative of larger trends among Black voters.

Then, Brittany turns to a classic television show that just
celebrated it's 25th anniversary: HBO's The Sopranos. Although the
show wrapped years ago, it remains a deeply salient portrayal of
assimilation and conditional whiteness. Brittany chats with author
Morgan Jerkins about whiteness in America and why the show's
commentary on Italian Americans resonated with them as Black
women.

To end the show, Brittany passes the mic to music journalist Naima
Cochrane to answer a question about the Nicki Minaj and Megan thee
Stallion beef.
