    What a week for receipts! Jonathan Major's lawyers decided to share "alleged" texts for his on going litagation issues. Real time Xscape drama has leaped off the screen for sisters LaTocha Scott and Tamika Scott. We share our opinions on whether or not this joint show is going to actually get off the ground in episode 4 of SWV & Xscape: The Queens of R&B and calling out the BS behavior in episode 46 of season 4 of Life After Lockup. Remember to give us 5 stars wherever you listen to podcasts. We'd really like dat!

This episode covers the history of blackface, race in the 1980s, and the illustrious (or not so) careers of Rae Dawn Chong and C Thomas Howell.
