As I recall, it was supposed to be a joke about their podcast name sounding like a mixtape, but actually being a bunch of dorks talking about politics. I think it's one of those situations where someone thought they were doing a dumb thing with their friends, and then it got popular, and they were stuck with the dumb name they thought was funny at the time.
Felix was on another pod with actual black people and the host was trying to explain to him how bad of an idea the name was, and felix was just like "fuck man, its name i guess" and it was really uncomfortable.

Its in this episode of Ghetto News Network
Basically the tl;dr is the host explained how using the chapo name is sorta like stolen valor for street crime and that if they cared enough to be pissed off by it, the circle around El Chapo could easily do something about it. It was mostly about disrespect towards someone who shouldn't be disrespected.
Oh yeah, I can definitely see that happening. I think they figured it was fine and funny because they see themselves as the butt of the joke--they're the dorks with the badass-sounding name, but they don't see how it doesn't read that way to everyone else. Kind of the same energy as calling RBG the Notorious RBG.
