Ian & Rashad Present Black Out Unfiltered Uncut

Wake Up Call:The Crisis Between Men & Women, Are Americans Being Poisoned? & The Biggest World Scam

This week on Black Out we covered everything from culture to global politics. We had a real conversation about work ethic, breaking down the perceived differences between Black Americans and Mexicans in the workforce and what really drives success — culture, opportunity, immigration mentality, or systemic barriers. We also dove into Venezuela’s evolving relationship with the United States and what it could mean for oil, sanctions, and the future of global power. From there we shifted into lifestyle and demographics. Why are more men having fewer children? Is it financial pressure, shifting gender roles, or changing priorities? We also had an honest conversation about toxic relationships in your 60s and 70s — proving that age doesn’t automatically bring emotional maturity. And we tackled a major health issue: is the American food system slowly destroying us? We discussed processed foods, chronic illness, and the corporate influence behind what ends up on our plates. We closed the episode by breaking down RFK’s thoughts on the World Economic Forum and what his stance says about today’s political climate. Culture, economics, relationships, health, and global power — all in one unfiltered conversation. Tap in and join the debate.

Is Valentine’s Day 50/50? Trump Controversy, Bad Bunny Reaction & Toxic Relationships

This week on Black Out we covered music, relationships, culture, and politics — and nothing was off limits. We gave our full reaction to J. Cole’s “The Fall Off,” broke down the NY vs NY tension between Tony Yayo and Ja Rule, and discussed what LaRussell signing to Roc Nation really means for independent artists. Is New York competitive again or just chasing moments? On the relationship side, we debated Valentine’s Day expectations, when it’s appropriate to bring an ex around, whether men and women can truly be platonic, private vs public school, and the question that always sparks controversy — are “pretty women” boring or is that just projection? We also reacted to the Super Bowl halftime show and ads, discussed Trump’s tweet about the Obamas, Ghislaine Maxwell pleading the 5th, and closed with real game for content creators — whose content we actually watch and the keys to building something that lasts.

We break down the real keys to a happy marriage and debate whether a child is a bigger commitment than marriage itself.
