This episode of IllSide Radio deals with the aftermath of the Donald Chump-driven Birther controversy. We wonder why Obama succumbed to the pressure and showed his birth certificate in the first place.  Is that a show of weakness or expedience? Why do people feed into this discussion in the first place?

Is racism at the root of this discussion? Why don’t people direct their animus towards Congress? What role does the media play is keeping this alive? Wasn’t this discussion put to bed in 2008? Is there anything that can pacify someone who refuses to accept Obama’s credibility? Don’t we have better things to worry about than an issue that was resolved three years ago.

We talk about Soulja Boy’s decision to reshoot the movie Juice. We go through whether or not it’s a good idea. Would the response be different if someone else was recreating the movie? Is the loud backlash more attributable to Tupac’s role of Bishop or to the movie itself? Should we give the movie a chance before we bash it?

We talk about the splash that rapper Prodigy has made since he’s come home from jail. We look at the controversy surrounding his book, My Infamous Life, and whether it’s a good thing that he’s making more noise from his book than his music thus far. Does he need some time musically to get back up to speed? All this and more on IllSide radio.

Sit back, relax and take a ride on the Ill Side.
