🎙️ The Debatable Podcast | Episode 70 — From Charlie Clips to Assata Shakur: Hip-Hop, History & Hidden Truths

Welcome back to The Debatable Podcast, powered by MC WAR — The Official Sport of Rap Battling.
Hosted by Saqar (Ahhah Ahershu) and Den Tut Rayay, this episode travels far beyond the battle stage — exploring the intersections of hip-hop, history, spirituality, and social truth.

From breaking down Charlie Clips vs. LL Coogee to reflecting on the life and legacy of Assata Shakur, this conversation challenges the culture to think deeper — about art, integrity, legacy, and liberation.

1. Charlie Clips vs. LL Coogee — When Schemes Become Storytelling
🔹 A one-round clash in Milwaukee that turned into a masterclass.
🔹 LL Coogee’s “clip scheme” earns props for creativity — while Clips shows why delivery still reigns supreme.
🔹 The hosts propose “topic rounds” for future MC WAR battles — to bring more meaning and message to the competition.

2. Brooklyn Legacy — The Birthplace of Bar Lords
🔹 Shoutouts to E. Nest, Petey Pablo, and Sauce Money for keeping the sound authentic.
🔹 Petey Pablo’s remix of “Jiggling Baby” and Sauce Money’s Brooklyn grit evoke the golden era.
🔹 Why Brooklyn breeds greatness: “steel sharpens steel.”

3. The Spirit of Assata Shakur — Liberation, Legacy & Prophecy
🔹 Remembering Assata Shakur (Tupac’s godmother), who escaped U.S. imprisonment to find refuge in Cuba.
🔹 Her grandmother’s dream predicting her escape mirrors a real-life Shawshank Redemption moment.
🔹 How Cuba, Lumumba, and the global African movement connect through shared struggle and solidarity.
🔹 The hosts draw parallels between Black revolutionaries and Latin freedom movements.

4. Polygamy, Law & the Black Male Narrative
🔹 Exploring the hypocrisy of a “Christian nation” that criminalizes biblical practice.
🔹 Why figures like Diddy, Metro Boomin, Ne-Yo, MLK, and Elijah Muhammad face similar accusations.
🔹 The historical roots of anti-polygamy laws — tracing back to control during slavery.
🔹 A raw conversation about freedom, morality, and double standards in relationships and law.

5. The Art of Listening & Diplomacy in Hip-Hop
🔹 Lessons from Chris Gotti’s reflections on Irv Gotti’s health, business, and missed diplomacy.
🔹 Why listening means “lessening yourself to learn.”
🔹 How humility and wisdom from within the community are key to growth.
