Episode 415: Zemp Phi Zemp 🎙️

This week on Views From The 7, we’re going from vacation mode to R&B debates, high school nostalgia, fraternity life, and a much deeper conversation about interracial dating and race in America.

S.O. kicks things off with the full recap of his Aruba getaway — from the perks of having a personal butler to off-roading adventures, vacation mishaps, and a competitive game of Mario Kart that got a little more serious than expected. 😂 We also get into some of the underrated perks of traveling and why sometimes getting away gives you a whole new perspective.

Then the conversation shifts to R&B. Is Jacquees too established to take a supporting role on a Chris Brown tour? The crew debates where Jacquees currently stands in R&B and how his career compares to artists like Tank and Mario.

From there, we take it back to high school. Who was actually considered “cool”? Does being popular — or unpopular — during those years follow people into adulthood? That conversation leads us into fraternity life, brotherhood, and some very different opinions about Greek culture.

Finally, things get deeper as we discuss interracial dating in America — preferences, fetishization, common interracial pairings within the Black community, and some unpopular opinions that lead into a bigger question: Will we ever reach a point where race isn’t such a major part of the conversation in America?
