This week on Termagant Talk, Goodie and Shantel are asking a question that keeps getting louder every time somebody invokes “the culture”: who the fuck is we? From the way Blackness, hip-hop and collective loyalty get used to defend individual opinions, they unpack who actually gets to speak for everybody. Then they get into Kim Osorio’s federal case and the dangers of doing entirely too much for OPP: Other People’s Person, break down the first two episodes of Jay-Z in 8 and whether Rick Rubin is digging deep enough, and take a hard look at Colin Kaepernick’s ongoing issues with Jay-Z, the NFL, Target and the stories we tell about betrayal. Plus, Goodie recaps her Power Your Pivot panel and Sistas in Sales experience. Funny, argumentative, reflective and very New York, this episode asks whether “the culture” is really a shared set of values or just a convenient place to hide an individual opinion.
