About this episode

Well it's here folks. With the election just days away, hosts Dope KNife and Linqua Franqa discuss their motivations for voting, chiefly their defiance in the face of the long and hairy history of voter suppression that unfurls still in the GOP's latest tactics in Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Texas. Along the way, they relay electoral takes from P Diddy to Blueface to Snoop Dogg as well as how electoralism has featured in the music of Eminem, YelloPain, and Dres from Black Sheep.
