I wouldn't take the money. I probably wouldn't take the call. I would be TERRIFIED. I would be even more terrified of what might happen if I turn up and say no. But if I had kids I'd probably say yes to feed my kids. I don't really need rich people things and I like having a soul.

Myke is dead right, rich white women have SO much more power. Trump does PRETEND to represent a huge demographic of America, cos poor white people think he gives a shit about them. He doesn't.

love the reviews, already know I'm gonna love this 

love the back and fourth u guys bring man keep it up

Goosebumps. Totally agree. This entire discussion. <3

I don't think we give ourselves enough credit for the vitality of Black intellectual life. M.E.D., Cornell West,Marc Lamont Hill, and others sell books, reach regular people and have high enough profiles to get name (or quote) checked in this and many other conversations. I don't know who their white analogues are, but are they truly more visible? Or are white people as invested in pop and "low" culture as we are, given that we're all Americans? Look at Trump's white support base. How many of them are up on that new, I don't know, Thomas Piketty joint?

@radion-alexievich-drozdov: Whether a government is republican or monarchical is separate from its status as a democracy, which the US still is - a representrative democracy with some hints of direct democracy here and there in the formof ballot initiatives..

I think that was 2000 DNC Convention Myke. After that "free speech zones" were created to keep the protesters away from credentialed media, and they keep being moved further away from the convention sites. That's why they aren't covered as much and have less impact.

I feel like Kendrick wouldn't get backlash because people would expect him to talk obout real problems but if he came out saying he's good than ppl gonna be confused as hell

The Return of Damon Dash Episode

Bumpy Knuckles stopped by to share his storied history with us. The depth of his relationship with Tupac Shakur. How Pete Rock saved his life. His deep relationship with NaS. How Chuck D literally had his life on the line for this culture. Another Steve Stoute story. And why, even though the rumors about him being the toughest guy in Hip Hop is exaggerated, no one should ever step to him in any club, even if they're holding a sharpened weapon. I love this interview. We're back to what we do, no hype, no shenanigans, no CEO beef, no industry shakedown, just the greatest rap stories you've never heard. Now go press download.

The Freddie Foxxx Episode

From Run-DMC to Kanye West, Soul Brother No. 1 been the go to guy to to make classic material. On top of that, how many countless producers he inspired, from legends like J Dilla and Kanye West to innovators like Madlib? #NeverForget the rap giants he helped birth, like NaS, and the Notorious B.I.G. Pete talks being raised by mentor/family member, the late, great Heavy D, and being encouraged to rap by Grand Puba, the true soul that went into producing "They Reminisce Over You", and the uncredited classic hits you know but didn't know was a Pete Rock production. Another session of Rap History is in effect, pull up a seat and  learn about your culture.

The Pete Rock Episode

Internets, this is such an honor.

It's been  few years of me trying to get the legendary Chuck D on The Combat Jack Show. It took current events, plus the Freddie Foxxx episode to make this happen (thank you Bumpy!). How do I even describe this 3 hour long discussion with Chuck D and Keith Shocklee? Def Jam, Hot 97, Dr. Dre, N.W.A., Ice Cube, Tupac Shakur, Marley Marl, Flavor Flav, Eric B and Rakim, COINTELPRO, Run-DMC, the Bomb Squad, the dearth of diversity on rap radio... so much knowledge.

What I'm walking away with is how we have the power to control how we're perceived in this culture. And how we have to stop making excuses. Now. Ladies and gents, we present to you, the Episode Without A Pause.

The Cormega 'Mega Philosophy' Episode

We’ve been hearing about a lot of our favorite Black rappers, artists and entertainers “selling out” to President Agent Orange. The ITMSO crew tries to figure out what he’s telling these people behind closed doors to make them sing.
And more importantly, how much would it take for YOU to sing the praises of Trump? What’s your price?
