Entrepreneur, techie, writer and geek, we went with non rapper dude Anil Dash for this episode. I totally enjoyed where this one went, so many gems dropped about Silicon Valley, how we either create value or waste endless hours on social media, and of course, how the evils of racism affect who and how we interact with online. I knew we'd learn something but I had no clue this would be so fun. Be on the lookout for his upcoming ThinkUp app which determines how you spend your time on these Internets. Throw on the headphones and learn something!
Marc Ecko walks us through his extraordinary journey, how he came up from a naive Hip Hop fan to becoming a household name, his run with Diddy, why Bobby Kondors has him scared to blow trees today, the Barry Bonds baseball thing, why the education system has him mad and why you should run cop his book "Unlabel: Selling You Without Selling Out". He's not Che Guevara with bling on, but he's Complex.
Another Special A3C episode in which the legendary Bun B sits live on stage to discuss various topics, and in which DJ Maseo, the original Plug 3 from the legendary De La Soul crew gets pulled from the crowd and onto our stage to talk De La history, fatherhood, grandfatherhood, the differences between Hip Hop in 1988 and in 2013 and more.
We were down in ATL for this year’s A3C conference and had the opportunity to do a live sit down with the “Hair Weave Killer”. My goal was to get 2 Chainz to talk about things he never talks about. Like how he values Lil Wayne’s mentorship. And how he never thought being dumb was cool. And how some consider him to be an EDM artist. I wanted the audience to walk away knowing that you can’t judge a book by its cover, or a Tity Boi by his name. Internets, this episode right here is different.
New York Times bestselling author Adam Mansbach (Rage Is Back, Angry Black White Boy, Go The Fuck To Sleep) and mixtape dj and producer J.Period (March 9: B.I.G. Tribute, J.Period & NaS: Best of NaS) were this week's guests where we chopped about being white and aware of white privilege, whether no graffiti on the NYC transit lines is a good or bad thing, Mansbach teaming up with Sam Jackson, J.Period becoming music supervisor to the Brooklyn Nets, whether there's really hope for a true post-racial America and more. Smart talk, no filler. Let's go.
