Raw ft. Jasmine White & Gwen Rogers

We Thought You Been Knew Podcast

For this month’s episode, we’re breaking down iconic Black standups to see if they held up over time. And we’re cutting the episode in HALF! In the first half, we rewatch some of our favorite standup specials from childhood to see if they had us cracking up or backing out. From Martin Lawrence to Katt Williams, we look at what these standup said about Black culture at the time. Would the same jokes used back then fly now? Can you still sprinkle a lil crack on ‘em? In the second half, we dissect Eddie Murphy’s infamously popular 1987 comedy special “Raw,” with special guests Jasmine White and Gwen Rogers from the upcoming project The Hotline Series. So get ready, because if you didn’t know before, you gone learn today.
