his week, we’re sharing what’s been keeping us glued to the TV before getting into going viral and everything that comes with it. Then it’s Nevada midterms and a question that might have you updating your résumé: could AI come for your career? We’re also debating who had the Black community in a bigger chokehold, Martin or The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, before taking it back to high school. The memories, the laughs… and a few things we probably should’ve left in the yearbook. 😂 We’ve got that and much more… This is Views From The 7!

Views is cancelled… AGAIN?! 😂 On Episode 424, “Supportive Cheating,” we get into pretty and handsome privilege, being treated like competition, and who pulled off the best rebrand after getting “cancelled.” Plus, taking one for the team sounds noble, but where do you draw the line? We also debate livestreaming executions before revisiting the first movie scenes that broke our hearts as kids. And we’ve got questions about Jenny from Forrest Gump. Was she really the villain, or does somebody else deserve that title? The takes are questionable. The laughs are guaranteed. Welcome back to Views from the 7.

The crew responds to the backlash over our Living Single discussion, then gets into unpopular opinions: movie edition. Which “classics” haven’t aged well and which weren’t that good in the first place? Some favorites might catch a stray. Then we talk exes and boundaries. Would you be comfortable with your significant other going out with an ex? If you still communicate with yours, what’s keeping that connection alive? And can a friendship truly be platonic when you’ve already slept together? We've got that and much more...This Is Views From The 7!!! Tune in and let us know: which movie gets way more praise than it deserves, and where do you draw the line with an ex?

This week we’re asking the important questions… Tomboy vs. stud — is there a difference or are we arguing semantics? 😂 We also get into the internet’s favorite response when somebody says something they don’t agree with: “Everybody doesn’t need a mic.” At this point, is that actually a response or just another played-out talking point? And since we’re already choosing violence… what’s an unpopular opinion you have that would have people ready to drag you if you said it out loud? Yeah… RAW IS WAR was the only name that made sense. 😂🔥 TUNE IN!! Views From The 7 | Episode 422

Ivan and Lu talk The King Of RnB , Nikole Hanna- Jones and The Black Experience , Ed Sheeran and Palestine Backlash by VFT7

EP 421: Long Live the Kang 👑 This week we get into making new friends as adults—or deciding you really don’t need any more 😂. We talk couples arguing in front of other people and when it becomes uncomfortable for everybody involved. Then Usher crowned himself the King of R&B, and of course we had some thoughts. Can you give yourself the crown, or does somebody else have to do it? Plus, we get into pickup lines. Have we ever actually used them? What worked? And do pickup lines still work today? Tap in with Views From The 7!

This week we kick things off with some high school memories and S.O.’s unexpected week of silence 😂. Then we reflect on 9/11, 25 years later, and 30 years since the death of 2Pac — including where we were when we first heard the news. We get into Lil Durk being found not guilty and the reaction to his acquittal. Why were so many people rooting for Durk despite the serious allegations against him? And that opens up an even bigger conversation: Do we sometimes idolize people accused of poisoning our communities more than we support the people trying to pour into them? After the killing of 22-year-old BloodHound Q50, we also talk about Chicago’s drill scene and whether someone like Durk could help change its direction — or whether the cycle is already bigger than any one artist. Then we get into the Lindsay Clancy trial and the controversy surrounding the lone holdout juror whose identity and personal information were exposed after the mistrial. Would knowing that could happen to you change how you feel about serving on a jury? Plus, reasons to go to church, accountability, community, and somehow… Diddy got off too. 😂 Views From the 7 | Episode 420

FAA | Adam Rose (Rosey) speaks on Cali Vs Vegas , Kanye can’t be cancelled , Consequences from Durk Trial by VFT7

This week we talk about older artists finding a new audience or getting a second wind in their careers through rebranding, and what it takes to introduce yourself to a different generation without completely changing who you are. We rank Donell Jones’ albums, debate Maxwell vs. Musiq Soulchild, and Skinny brings up the similarities between Nipsey Hussle and Snoop Dogg. That leads us to comparing their debut albums, their sound and influence, and ultimately deciding who we think was better. We also revisit the story behind Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and 2Pac’s “Thug Luv” and whether it really started as a Bizzy Bone and 2Pac record before becoming the song we know today. Plus, we get into AI-generated pictures, the different artists who are currently on trial.. and much more. This is Views From The 7!!

The guys are back with plenty to address this week, starting with the backlash coming out of California and their response to everything that’s been said. From there, the conversation gets into Gladys Knight and whether there should ever be an age limit on performing, Rod Wave vs. Boosie, and a real discussion about fatherhood and what that responsibility looks like at different stages of life. They also react to the news surrounding Dolly Parton’s passing and discuss the coverage coming out of Lil Durk’s trial. Another week, another algorithm to ignore. Tap in with Fck A Algorithm.

This week on Views From the 7, the crew starts with a conversation about the “IT factor.” We all know artists who seemed to have everything it took to become a star, but is having “it” actually enough to make it? From there, we get into songs we love using for certain occasions even though the lyrics mean the complete opposite of what we’re celebrating. We also talk about our first experiences stepping into the “lion’s den,” whether online feedback has ever genuinely affected us, and why having an opinion outside of the popular consensus is so quickly dismissed as rage bait. And of course, the episode title had to come from somewhere: do all women turn into hoes after losing a lot of weight? 😂 It’s a mix of music, personal experiences, internet culture, and a question that definitely had the room talking.
