Download Podcast What kind of psychological issues are Kanye West and Jay Z dealing with in their lives that make them seem so disconnected from the communities from which they grew up in? Kanye is selling a clothing line featuring the Confederate Flag and Jay Z’s response to the racial profiling issue concerning the high-end retail store Barneys seems lukewarm at best. To help us decipher what may be going on with these two Slave-Ship-Hop corporate artists, Sister Abena Afreeka joins us on the broadcast tonight. Sister Abena will frame the conversation around “APoLE”. This stands for “Abena’s Paradigm of Lived Experience”. “APoLE is how I view the world and it takes into account that we live or experience life on five levels, Individual, Family, Community, Society and Spiritually. The events taking place which involves those brothers are happening on and from each level and how it affects us on all those levels” - Abena Afreeka In Hip-Hop related and other news.....
