The Truth About Hip-Hop And The Music Industry

    <p>In this episode of The Chris and Andre Show, the guys welcome special guest, Christian Sinclair Powell, to talk comic adaptations with Spider-Man: No Way Home and Peacemaker, and close things out with a deep dive into Hip-Hop and the current state of the music industry.</p>

(00:00:00) Intros - Chris is in Denver, but that won’t stop the guys from recording a new episode, especially with a special guest like Christian Sinclair Powell joining them!

(00:03:46) Quick Hits - Joe Biden gets in trouble for calling someone a “stupid S.O.B.”, Tom Brady is out of the playoffs, Docker is begging for money, Kyrsten Sinema gets censured, Bitcoin reveals itself to be the scam it really is, and Adult Swim shows how nervous they are about Arcane’s success with a public swipe.

(00:23:48) Pop Culture - Andre finally sat down to watch Spider-Man: No Way Home and shares his thoughts, much to the dismay of both Chris and Joe. Then they move on to another comic book adaptation, Peacemaker, which has Chris giddy and Joe ecstatic, while Andre continues to assert that James Gunn brings nothing to the table as a director…

(01:06:46) Music - It would be a shame to waste a special guest like Christian Sinclair Powell without talking about the erosion of Hip-Hop and the music industry due to commercialization of artists and their work, as well as the perceived money-grab opportunity for people willing to ride the wave of popularity on social media channels.

(02:02:17) I Rock With This/What Are We Doing?: In this new segment, the guys and their guests share their favorite content creators out there doing the right thing, while also calling out those they feel are just taking advantage of viewers for dollars.
