About this episode

Charlamagne and Andrew discuss RZA's new film, the importance of evolving as an artist, and various cultural topics.

This week on brilliant idiots, Charlamagne and Andrewdiscuss RZA's new film why Charlamagne calls it an instant classic, the hidden Pulp Fiction easter eggs, and what makes RZA one of the most unreplicatable figures in music history. They break down a viral Jay-Z clip and go deep on what it actually takes to have longevity in this game, why the artists who last (Bowie, McCartney, Beyoncé, Kendrick, Taylor Swift) are the ones not afraid to grow up, evolve, and rap their age. If you're still making the same content you were ten years ago, the game already passed you by. Also on the menu: influence culture and sellouts, political violence and the state of the country, and why Shaq DJs to replicate the feeling of Game 7. Another week of brilliant idiocy. You already know. ************************************ 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…
