The conversation quickly shifts to the massive internet reaction surrounding the Jason Lee "culture vulture" debate, with Rosenberg examining how algorithm-driven rage bait shapes public perception. Former Congressman Jamaal Bowman pulls up to the studio to discuss his transition from a South Bronx principal to a national political figure. Bowman details his early inspiration watching the rise of progressive women like AOC and the Squad, and breaks down the harsh realities of campaign fundraising—sharing the blueprint of how he raised his first $30,000 via cold calls. He recounts the explosive 2020 hot mic moment from incumbent Eliot Engel that triggered a $110,000 single-day fundraising surge, contrasting it with the overwhelming $20 million AIPAC campaign that ultimately unseated him in 2024. The trio also tackles the persistent danger of right-wing agitators like Laura Loomer and the necessity of confronting racism in modern politics. In The Rundown, the crew pivots to a heated hip-hop debate sparked by Gillie and Wallo’s podcast: Who are the top 10 Philly rappers of all time? Bowman, Rosenberg, and Laura debate the legacy of legends like Black Thought, Meek Mill, and Beanie Sigel. The episode wraps with an analysis of Max B’s recent, highly controversial comments claiming his run was better and longer than Big Daddy Kane's.   ----------------------------- Experience the Culture: Catch Ebro, Laura, Rosenberg, and the rest of the network 24/7 on the Amplified Voices TV app: amplifiedvoices.com/download [https://amplifiedvoices.com/download] Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
