Why Does The Black Community Still Glorify The Streets??? Lil Durk, Keefe D and Why Women Love Simps

This week on So Shameless , the crew gets into money, masculinity, street culture and everything the internet thinks a man is supposed to be. Tahoe explains why he has absolutely NO interest in spending his money at the strip club when he’s there with his woman and her friends — but does that make him cheap, smart…or a simp?

That leads us into the internet’s favorite insult: what actually makes a man a simp, and why are people calling Tahoe one? We also debate Zoe Saldaña vs.

Halle Berry and where Zoe belongs in the conversation among Hollywood’s top Black actresses. Then things get more serious as we discuss Keefe D and the Tupac Shakur murder case , the conversation surrounding Lil Durk , and whether saying “Free Durk” is another example of our culture glorifying street life even when we repeatedly see where that lifestyle can lead.

And somehow, we have to explain how Mo3’s killer and a pair of blue underwear ended up in the same conversation. Finally, we get into masculinity and male friendships: Is there anything wrong with men being homosocial?

Why are close relationships between men sometimes viewed suspiciously? And we tackle the provocative question: are Black men actually more gay than straight — or does that entire conversation reveal something bigger about how we view Black masculinity, sexuality and male friendship?

It’s another uncomfortable, hilarious and completely shameless conversation. Press play and tell us where you stand.
