“The Great Whites!” | Yassy’s Radio Debut: Her Akademiks Origin, Trauma Bonding +MORE | blankSLATE Radio

Trauma bonding built this friendship, and now it’s building a segment. Yassy makes her first crossover onto the Radio side, and before we even touch current events, we’re going all the way back — how she actually linked with Akademiks (email, not a tweet, and yes, there’s an Applebee’s involved), what nobody knows about her radio dreams before blankSLATE, and why LA burned both of us out in almost identical ways. Then we get into it: Yassy’s Mount Rushmore of white people, my rebuttal list, a genuinely humbling Mount Rushmore trivia round, and a teaser for the hip-hop Mount Rushmore conversation we’re clearly going to have to finish another time.
