Hood Politics with Prop
Cool Zone Media
<p>The political landscape can be confusing, but it doesn't have to be. If you've survived junior high, lived in an urban city or understand gang life, you can understand geopolitics. Join rapper and author Propaganda and his friends as they use their hood-knowledge to break down the political scene. </p>
- 10 minutes 11 secondsTap In: Post-Freudian Analysis of the Turning Point: USA Halftime Show
Reaction formation is a post-Freudian defense mechanism that comes up when a person feels, whether real or imagined, a sense of rejection and, rather than acknowledging the feeling, tells themselves that they didn't want the thing they requested in the first place. Since the Turning Point halftime show was neither Christian, wholesome or better than the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show, one has to wonder, besides good old fashioned racism, what is actually going on in their minds and hearts to even feel the need to have their own performance?

So Nicki Minaj, plot twist, might not actually be MAGA-pilled, she just wanted that Trump gold card. It turns out she's wasn't a citizen of the US, but now she is. It only cost her $1.5 million and the safety of her community. I hope she's happy!

23 January 2026, 5:00 am - 30 minutes 52 secondsActually, These Are Very Precedented Times: ICE Recruitment & the History of the LAPD
Black people, POCs or anyone from a marginalized group share a collective sigh whenever we hear some one say of the USA, “This is not who we are!” In our experience, this is exactly who we are. Today we talk about the recruitment tactics of ICE and how it's just like the tactics the LAPD used in the 50s and 60s.

21 January 2026, 5:00 am - 9 minutes 44 secondsTap In: JD Vance is the Kanye West of Donald Trump
Back when we were still willing to defend Kanye but had some concerns, Kanye gave us the gem "I JUST TOLD YOU! I'M A GOD" when asked who he thought he was. Well, JD Vance has a way of just saying in the most matter of fact tones some of the darkest workings of this administration. In his interview on Fox News with Jessie Waters, he just blatantly says, we are going to take all of Venezuela's natural resources and we are reclaiming our role as bully of the block.
