The duo engages in lively discussions on their popular podcast, “It Is What It Is,” exploring various topics like sports, entertainment, and politics. In a recent episode, the Harlem-born artists reflected on ESPN's cultural dynamics.Killa Cam highlighted a significant moment from an interview featuring music mogul Dame Dash on “The Breakfast Club,” where he asserted to co-host DJ Envy, “You gotta be your own boss.” This remark followed Envy’s acknowledgment that someone could potentially terminate his employment, prompting Dash to emphasize his independence as an entrepreneur.Dash's insights resonate amid notable layoffs at ESPN and Fox Sports, which saw the departure of prominent figures like Shannon Sharpe, skip Bayless, and Joy Taylor.
