Selective Ignorance: Misogony Economy, Book Bans & Jingles

The Black Effect Presents...Selective Ignorance!

In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by super producer A-King, journalist Jayson Rodriguez, and Jason “Jah” Lee for a wide-ranging, culture-forward conversation that blends humor, critique, and social commentary. The episode opens with reflections on a recent winter storm and the collective panic it caused, including questionable food preparation decisions and general storm-time ignorance [00:00–05:05]. From there, the discussion pivots into the evolving creator economy, unpacking what true ownership looks like through the lens of Kevin Hart’s licensing deal and Kavi Lamay’s groundbreaking AI digital twin, raising the question of whether everyone — and everything — is ultimately for sale [26:32].

The energy shifts as the crew dives into the lucrative and often-overlooked power of advertising jingles, sparked by a viral Dr. Pepper jingle that earned its creator a major payout, leading into a hilarious, improvised jingle-creation challenge that showcases the hosts’ chemistry and creativity [41:11–42:41], while also examining the fine line between catchy marketing and provocative advertising [47:22]. Balancing the fun with heavier topics, the conversation turns toward literacy and media access in prisons and why storytelling and education still matter behind bars [52:44], followed by a nuanced breakdown of Kanye West’s recent apology and how public perception, accountability, and redemption play out in real time [58:03].

The episode closes with a candid discussion on relationship dynamics, centered around Cam’ron and his ex, exploring communication, ego, and emotional maturity in modern relationships [01:11:39]. Altogether, the episode captures Selective Ignorance at its best — blending sharp humor, cultural critique, and thoughtful dialogue about ownership, media, and accountability in today’s attention economy.
