We couldn't help it! Ice Cube's Contract with Black America made us do it!
This week is another break from the normal CPT conversation as Ken and Dee discuss the various nuances embedded in the global response to Ice Cube's 13-point contract. This emotional conversation also reflects what happens when the record button stays on and the fellas just lay it all out.
