About this episode
The episode discusses Complex's 2026 Most Powerful People in Hip Hop Media list and various cultural topics.
This week on Brilliant Idots, Loren Lorosa joins Charlamagne tha God and they break down Complex's 2026 Most Powerful People in Hip Hop Media list. Is DJ Akademics the rightful No. 1? Is DJ Hed and Gina Views criminally underranked? And where does Breakfast Club fit in a landscape where hip hop is pop culture? Plus, Isaiah Rashad's return, the Rihanna x Sheinelle Jones Met Gala moment everyone's talking about, Taraji and Jenifer Lewis calling out the Met Gala, and the US Census interracial couple rankings that took the whole show off the rails. ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/brilliant-idiots Jess Hilarious - Til Death Do We Parent - Pre Order 2Chainz - The Voice in my head is God - Pre Order The Black Family Who Built America - Cheryl McKissack Daniel -Order Link Uncommon Favor - Dawn Staley - Order Link Get Honest or Die Lying Why Small Talk Sucks- By Charlamagne Tha God - Order Link Check out Andrew Schulz - www.theandrewschulz.com Check out all the podcast on Charlamagne's "Black Effect Network" - https://blackeffect.com Checks out AlexxMedia AM Mornings Learn more about your…
