Brought to You By the Letter: B-aitch!

This week that pesky “B-word” seemed to be in everyone’s mouth. With Jimmy Fallon and Anne Hathaway leading the way, J-Crush, the Angry Engineer, C.O. and Masta Talka stumbled down the primrose path and joined right in. We talked about the B that was replaced as U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, that B who threw a shoe at the B who may be running for President, that Ukrainian Barbie B, who hates children and especially those of mixed race and of course that B who gave a deep, long kiss to Louisiana Congressman Vance McAllister. But there was Hip-Hop in the middle of that too. M.O.P., Kool G. Rap, Raekwon; Naughty By Nature and Red and Meth joined us on our trek. We also celebrated Q-Tip’s Born Day, Attorney Eric Holder’s surly resilience and rejoiced in the reunion of OutKast @ Coachella. Bitch, don’t kill our vibe – It’s Boom Bap Radio.
