## Resource

This week on the Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne tha God and Andrew Schulz are debating whether EVERYBODY should be grabbing a mic and trying stand-up, they break down why stand-up is a whole different beast. They discuss Jay-Z selling out Yankee Stadium at lightning speed. Is Hov still untouchable? Are people really fans or just hypebeasts? And when did Reasonable Doubt become legendary? They also get into: Internet vs real life (and why Twitter isn’t the real world) The pressure of being “chronically online” Hip-hop debates, generational fans, and fake nostalgia Why success always brings hate (and how to handle it) ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: ⁠⁠https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/brilliant-idiots⁠⁠ Jess Hilarious - Til Death Do We Parent - ⁠Pre Order⁠ 2Chainz - The Voice in my head is God - ⁠⁠Pre Order⁠⁠ The Black Family Who Built America - Cheryl McKissack Daniel -⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Uncommon Favor - Dawn Staley - ⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Get Honest or Die Lying Why Small Talk Sucks- By Charlamagne Tha God - ⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Check out Andrew Schulz - ⁠⁠www.theandrewschulz.com⁠⁠ Check out all the podcast on Charlamagne's "Black Effect Network" - ⁠⁠https://blackeffect.com⁠⁠ Checks out AlexxMedia ⁠AM Mornings⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
