Arts Block Podcast

I'm tired of saying that I'm back (even though I am). So let's just act like I've been here the whole time. Even though my being gone shaped what this entire pod and future pods will look like, let's not address the elephant in the room. Anyway, the ABP is getting back to its roots, and that's sharpening artists to be the best creatives of their ability. To be able to do that, we have to talk about Art in the Rocky Soil. If you're confused about what that means, then that means you should watch this episode. This podcast is heavily influenced by the bible (specifically Matthew 13), so if that's not your thing, it's understandable, however, I think the message still can apply. God loves you. I love you. See you next week. Sincerely, Eric Curry III#ArtistNeverDIeLinks:https://www.instagram.com/ericcurryiii/https://www.instagram.com/artsblockpodcast/https://linktr.ee/ArtsBlock?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaeAUfr0UV80FdWOK72lnxcNUqHjfCUAHLJVuWTzKYMF-EG4WSxcDBZk1ySujA_aem__KmhDCEy8qRQ67gxlM_ulQ

Ok so boom. This is not an official episode (you might be able to tell by the title). BUT, this was originally made as a project fro school but it was too good not to upload so.... SURPRISE!!!! This episode is about the duality of Hip-Hop, the good, the bad, the ugly, and everything in between. Hope you guys have a good time because I know I did!Links:https://www.instagram.com/ericcurryiii/https://www.instagram.com/artsblockpodcast/https://linktr.ee/ArtsBlock?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=24691668-5635-43e3-8b85-042ed656fba6

We need to stop living in the past and learn how to enjoy what we have right now. Think about it. How often do you live in nostalgia? How often do you not enjoy what you have today because you're so focused on the greatness of yesterday? Appreciating what happened in the past is amazing. We're going to talk about how Druski appreciates and shows homage to the past in his TV shows. But, don't get so consumed with was was that you miss out on what is. Remember, old times don't last.Links:https://www.instagram.com/ericcurryiii/https://www.instagram.com/artsblockpodcast/https://linktr.ee/ArtsBlock?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAabGF3YED4uyGsLzDMXXFuJoj6xNkIuj7h-FKBC9jKm8gflTyYN_ZQu9unQ_aem_eQNEgq3xAwJJ0MrAC_zxdQ

Do you have friends that will help you with your itchy eyes? I know this question might sound silly to some, but I believe we should be genuinely concerned about this. I think that it is important for you to have people who are in your corner no matter what. For example, when Freddie Gibbs was talking recklessly about J. Cole there was a whole fanbase there to protect and defend Cole's name. In a negative context, at Diddy's most vulnerable time, one of his lawyers filed a motion to withdraw as his lawyer. So I ask you this one more time. Do your friends help you with your itchy eyes? If not maybe you're better off scratching them yourself.

"Ain't nobody coming to see you, Otis." This is what someone should've told Birdman when he was yapping at the Hot Boyz concert. Anyway, this episode will be wayyyy different from what you're used to. I know many things happened this week. Cole dropped, Diddy got dropped (iykyk ) so I'm aware of everything going on. However, that's for the Wednesday pod. Today let's just laugh, watch videos, and have some fun. Live today like it's your last, forget about the past, pour you an extra wine glass, because you get to watch the ABP today!Links:https://www.instagram.com/ericcurryiii/https://www.instagram.com/artsblockpodcast/https://linktr.ee/ArtsBlock?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAabGF3YED4uyGsLzDMXXFuJoj6xNkIuj7h-FKBC9jKm8gflTyYN_ZQu9unQ_aem_eQNEgq3xAwJJ0MrAC_zxdQ

KENDRICK LAMAR!!!! Not only has he been breaking records. He has broken the ultimate record by becoming the first rapper to surpass 100 million monthly listeners on Spotify. Only nine artists have achieved this in history. Only 2 of them are black men. We need to celebrate this as a culture, am I right? What's a better way to do this than to celebrate during festival season? The Roots PicNic? Wireless Fest? Anyone? Just me? Ok cool. Maybe I'll just go to Renaissance pt.2... I mean the Shakira concert. Nevermind, Kendrick has been celebrated enough. Just make sure when this is all said and done, we just sing about him.Links:https://www.instagram.com/ericcurryiii/https://www.instagram.com/artsblockpodcast/https://linktr.ee/ArtsBlock?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAabGF3YED4uyGsLzDMXXFuJoj6xNkIuj7h-

You can't have your cake and eat it too. You can ask anyone that has tried. Jay-Z, Scarface, Ike & Tina. You cannot have your cake and eat it too. I wish someone told that to the Kennedy Center because boyyyyy they are about to be in some trouble. Speaking of trouble, Soulja Boy is in a lot of trouble after his comments about Marlon Wayans' transgender son. Lastly, we have to talk about this Drake & PND R&B album. I'm starting to learn no matter what decision you make, you're not going to make everyone happy. So you might as well just have your cake.Link:https://www.instagram.com/artsblockpodcast/https://www.instagram.com/ericcurryiii/https://linktr.ee/ArtsBlock?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAabGF3YED4uyGsLzDMXXFuJoj6xNkIuj7h-FKBC9jKm8gflTyYN_ZQu9unQ_aem_eQNEgq3xAwJJ0MrAC_zxdQ

"The revolution bout to be televised, you picked the right time, but the WRONG GUY." A lot of people think that the NFL and Roc Nation had picked the wrong guy to do the halftime show. A lot of people are ranking this as one of the WORST halftime performances of all time. Well, let me tell you why this is actually one of the best of all time. This performance wasn't what we wanted it to be, it's what they needed it to be. Let me tall y'all why they might have actually picked "The Wrong Guy".Links:https://www.instagram.com/ericcurryiii/https://www.instagram.com/artsblockpodcast/https://linktr.ee/ArtsBlock?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAabGF3YED4uyGsLzDMXXFuJoj6xNkIuj7h-FKBC9jKm8gflTyYN_ZQu9unQ_aem_eQNEgq3xAwJJ0MrAC_zxdQ

When life gives you lemons... sometimes you have to throw them back. Just like I'm going to throw Kanye back to where he was before he got back on Twitter. Whoever his PR team is, is working overtime... or maybe they're fired... who knows. Also, when life gives you lemons (depending on what you do with them), you don't leave out of the situation the same. There's something different about you before adversity hit and after you went through adversity. Lastly, when life gives you lemons... You have to make the best out of it. So make sure when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.Links:https://www.instagram.com/ericcurryiii/https://www.instagram.com/artsblockpodcast/https://linktr.ee/ArtsBlock?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAabGF3YED4uyGsLzDMXXFuJoj6xNkIuj7h-FKBC9jKm8gflTyYN_ZQu9unQ_aem_eQNEgq3xAwJJ0MrAC_zxdQ

We have a lot to talk about, especially after the Grammys on Sunday night. Kendrick did his sweep in a Canadian Tux. Beyonce finally gets her album of the year, and Doechii shows us (once again) that she is the star of the future. But we do have to touch on some... other things. Like Kanye and his wife. If you don't know what I am referring to, don't worry; we'll talk about it. Also, we're going to talk about this new Drake and PND album. And how no matter how much you shoot someone of his stature down... No One Ever Really Dies.

Happy my people built this country month! I wanted to start the month by saying, "Sue me, I'm rooting for everybody that's black." Now that we got that out of the way let's get down to business. Prayers and condolences to everyone who the recent plane crashes have impacted. Secondly, why is everyone so invested in my love life? First, my boss, then the lady at my front door, why are we so worried about Eric's love life? Lastly, the most ironic thing that could ever happen happened. TDE is being accused of sexual harassment. This has been a long week, and I am very tired. So if this pod sounds all over the place then oh well. What are you gonna do, sue me?

Here's another creative way for me to say that I am talking about literally nothing on this pod today. EXCEPT. We are going to touch on the DJ Akademics drama just a little bit. Besides that, this is going to be a normal pod. We're going to talk about how I don't think being a "boring" artist is productive and how as a young artist, we shouldn't know peace (I know that sounds extreme, just bear with me). But honestly, this is another pod about nothing. So sit back, relax, and enjoy! Links: https://www.instagram.com/ericcurryiii/ https://www.instagram.com/artsblockpodcast/ https://linktr.ee/ArtsBlock

I'm not going to lie... I'm not talking about anything on this pod. This is just hot wind blowing, meaning I'm just talking mess. We're going to touch on a little bit of everything. We will talk about my vulnerability on the pod and why I am so vulnerable on here. I'm going to mention how I struggle with being optimistic. Also, I'm going to drop some gems here and there as well. I hope y'all enjoy this pod because I definetly did. This is how hot wind blows.

I'M BACK!!!!! This is time I feel different. This feels different. The Arts Block podcast is going to be different. I can't get into why I was gone because that takes the fun out of you listening to the episode, but I will say this. I NEED HELP. I've been doing this podcast alone for too long. So, if you think you can be of any assistance in... Editing Promotion Community Outreach Marketing and more... please let me know. See y'all on Sunday.

This is going to be my last pod... for like a week. Ha! I got you, didn't I? I'm not podding next week because I need time to relax before the semester starts. This is a privilege that I have because I control my schedule when it comes to podding. However, many people don't have this privilege like Drake, Ray Vaughn, and even Rolling Stone. I guess you can say that I'm a privileged podder. Links: https://www.instagram.com/ericcurryiii/ https://www.instagram.com/artsblockpodcast/ https://linktr.ee/ArtsBlock

Where have we lost the plot? We used to be people who celebrated decorum and respect. Now, all that happens is tomfoolery and disrespect. "Eric, what are you talking about?" Let me enlighten you. Doechii is receiving new hate for God knows what reason. LiAngelo Ball is releasing music. Lastly, Lil Tjay & Fivio Foreign don't have basic house manners. There are only 2 things that will help with all of this. 1. Tuning into the Arts Block Podcast 2. Home training Links: https://www.instagram.com/ericcurryiii/ https://www.instagram.com/artsblockpodcast/ https://linktr.ee/ArtsBlock

I'm finally in the year 2025. Boy, is this year a doozy? This episode will be a long letter on how this year opened up for me. This year might be where my boldness leads me to new opportunities or relationships. Either that or I will lose a friend for life... we'll have to see how this plays out. We will talk about how Conductor Williams has been a problem in Hip-Hop since the start of the year and how Drake and Lebron might have problems of their own. Lastly, we'll talk about the problem we artists have with the internet. A lot of problems and only one thing to do about it. Listen to the ABP.

"I ain't no perfect man, I'm tryna do the best that I can, with what it is I have." Yasin Bey couldn't have worded this better. However, I noticed something about people when it's time to go into the new year. Instead of doing the best that they can now, they wait until January 1st. What if I told you that waiting for the 1st is going to set you back in the year not propet you forward? Would you be more specific in your goal making? Will you have more urgency to get the goals you have set done? Will you even set goals? I guess we'll never know.

This is the last podcast of 2024. What a road and a journey it has been. This podcast is going to be filled with a lot of honesty and self-reflection. We're still going to have fun and we're still going to talk a lot of sh!t. However, if you're not ready to self-reflect, this pod isn't for you. If you don't want to elevate and make this next year the best year of your life, then this pod isn't for you. Now that we got that out the way tune in to know what to do when the ball drops.

Happy Holidays, everyone! I hope you are having a great week and enjoying this with your family holiday season es. If you plan on playing this podcast in front of your family, PLEASE DON'T(just kidding, do what you want). Today, we're going to do a semi-deep dive into the Lil Yachty & Lil Baby interview. We're going to talk about Dame Dash and Nore going back & forth. Lastly, we're going to talk about Travis Hunter and his fiance and why we need to leave them alone.

Hello. Hello. Hello. I'm back, world. I know you guys have missed me, but trust me, you haven't missed me nearly as much as I've missed you. Guys! I saw J. Cole perform 2014 Forest Hills Drive live at MSG. I was in the building. I have to tell you about that. I haven't listened to SZA's new deluxe album, but I know it's out now. We're going to talk about the culture of "first week sales" culture. Lastly & sadly, we have to talk about Fresh & Fit. But honestly, even with all of these topics. I'm just here to say hello.

I'm sorry! I slept on Doechii's Tiny Desk. This is my bad, and I have to take this one on the chin (pause). It was EVERYTHING (pun intended). However, do you know who's missing everything? The lady who accused Jay-Z this week. Neither she nor Mr. Buzbee is having a great week. Then I heard y'all were talking about Cooking With Kya, and I had to tap in. It is safe to say that I was not disappointed. Lastly, Tyler The Creator said that if he were president, he would take podcast mics away from people, and I agree with him… just let me have mine. There's a lot to talk about &  discuss.

The truth will always come to light. No matter who's wrong or right, who's alive or dead, or who tells it or not. The truth will always come to light. However, if you are lying about an artist who can afford some of the best lawyers in the world, you might be hoping the old saying won't come true. We have to talk about Jay-Z getting sued for sexual assault. We have to talk about the white guy going around saying he doesn't like boom-bap Hip-Hop. We also have to talk about how grateful I am for all of you!

What happened? I thought y'all didn't like Cole. Why are there 150,000 people waiting for tickets at his MSG show? Don't worry, we're going to discuss that. Also, let's make some noise for Kendrick Lamar & SZA for going on a stadium tour in 2025. I have a question. Why is entertainment such as concerts & sporting events not a high-class luxury? Lastly, who is trying to kill Ray J? We have a lot to talk about, but first things first, we have to talk about the revenge of the dreamer.

"What's the point of being the one when you're the only one who knows it?" That's a great question presented by J. Cole. Alongside a great question, Cole has released 3 mixtapes that include the answer to this great question. However, is this a rollout for 'The Fall Off?' Is Cole starting his final rollout? Let's talk about it today. We will also talk about Kai Cenat demolishing the Twitch subscriber record. Lastly, we must discuss whether Drake's legacy will be tarnished after 2024. Welcome to Friday Night Lights.

Why? Why? Is this really human nature? I don't think so. Since when has it been human nature for a rapper to sue their label after losing a rap battle? Maybe you're cut from that Hip-Hop cloth, but I'm not. Today, we're going to be talking about Drake suing UMG not once but twice. This will be filled with court documents, explanations, and bad reading. Buckle up, ladies and gentlemen. But something is telling me seat belts are not enough.

Iron sharpens iron, a famous saying we all know and love. The saying encourages us to surround ourselves with people who will make us better, people who will push us or "sharpen us." It's all of the OGs I've been around my whole life. But I've been noticing that other people do not have that. They have no one to sharpen their Iron. Hopefully, if that is you, today's episode will inspire you. Also, we have to talk about the Tyson fight so Iron works for today's theme.

The storm is inevitable, but how you prepare yourself in the quiet will get you through the storm. However, many of us as artists want to skip over the storm. We fail to realize that the storm prepares us for the end goal. What we go through only makes us stronger for where we're trying to get to.

I HATE IT HERE!!!!! This week has been a long week. We've been hoodwinked, bamboozled, fooled, ran amuck, and that was all on Tuesday. While all that was happening, y'all were out here saying Tyler the Creator needs to be a part of the big 3, streamers are saying that streaming is harder than a 9 to 5, and Lil Durk might be going to jail for something he has NO business doing. Upset isn't even the word but at the very least we have the 'Arts Block Podcast'.

We all know that we can't pour from an empty cup. Once the cup is empty... it's empty. However, where do we go when we need a refill? Or, better yet, who do we go to? I will give you all a hint by saying you cannot fill your cup. If our job as creatives and artists is to pour into others, how are we going to simultaneously pour into ourselves? This episode is all about that. Where do we go when our creative cup is empty? We need to be pouring full cups of creativity. Don't nobody want any juice drops.

Fourth quarter E is officially here. This 4th quarter is going to be FREE LUNCH! These other podcasters will have to be careful because the ABP is about to start taking some lunch money.

Sometimes, you have to apologize for your actions and take accountability for your actions. It might not feel like the best thing to do, but when you're wrong, you're wrong. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not apologizing for what I said. I'm apologizing for how I said it. But if I could say everything that I said last pod again, would I? HELL YEAH! Also, we're going to talk about Ari Lennox taking a permanent break from social media and how songs in music get reworked. But in conclusion, I'm sorry... I guess.

I'M TIRED BOSS! Every time a new rap song comes, especially when it's an artist that y'all don't like. Objection goes out the window. My big issue today is that we aren't being objective about music. Also, we tend to jump to conclusions about what the music is saying rather than listening. What Bush did with 'No Child Left Behind' is irreversible. All of you need to read a book... and watch the Arts Block Podcast as well.

Today, on the Arts Block Podcast, we're not discussing anything that happened in the media during the week. We're going to be super honest. I'm going to be the most vulnerable I've been on the pod in a long time. I'm talking about where I am mentally and creatively. I'm talking about where I want to see the world of creatives and where I want this 'Artist Never Die' movement to go. I just hope that this episode inspires one person to get up and GO!

Out of everything happening in the world, sometimes the media cycle leaves me wondering what we are discussing. We're still talking about J. Cole's role in the Kendrick Lamar & Drake Beef, we are bringing up Tommy Richman not wanting to be categorized as a rapper who makes Hip-Hop music, and you fake journalists are out here spreading rumors and lies about people that you have a random personal vendetta against. AND WHO KEEPS GIVING JAGUAR WRIGHT A MIC??? Links: https://www.instagram.com/ericcurryiii/ https://www.instagram.com/artsblockpodcast/ https://linktr.ee/ArtsBlock?utm_source=linktree_profile_share

Why does it feel like we're in the sunken place? Like, Boosie is saying his daughter can't bring her girlfriend around because he doesn't want her to contaminate her siblings. Adin Ross hasn't learned where dissing the West Coast gets you because he did it... multiple times. Also, Not Freah & Fat discusses why black people don't need reparations. I'm so tired, and it feels like we're all just falling into the abyss.

What a week we've had, ladies and gentlemen. It was a week so packed that I thought about doing an extra pod. Cardi B gave us a masterclass on using social media during her back-and-forth with her ex-husband, Offset. We find out that Young Dolph's killers only received $800 out of the promised $100,000. J Cole is reminding everyone why he is #1 out of the big 3. Lastly, we answer the question of why is Chlöe Bailey not performing. This is a long week but somehow, someway we're here podding with ya'll. So in my opinion. It's been great!

The more the year progresses, the more I look back to Kat Williams Club Shay Shay interview. When he's right, he's right. More allegations are coming out about more artists; Usher deleted over 7,000 tweets right after Diddy went to jail, and prosecutors have come out and said that Yo Gotti's brother put up a $100,000 hit on Young Dolph and met with the killers. A long week it was, and I'm not going to tell you why the pod is called frosted flakes. You'll figure it out when you listen.

THEY FINALLY LOCKED THAT MAN UP!!! If you have been living under a rock and don't know who "That Man" is, I highly suggest you watch this episode of the Arts Block Podcast. Today, we're going to talk about the take that takes that family, Rubi Rose, exposing that she and Druski were never in a "real" relationship, Rich Homie Quan's beautiful funeral, BET listening to the Arts Block Podcast and being a lil messy with this year's BET Hip Hop Awards. But the most important thing I can talk about is a black man by the name of Marcellus Williams, who is about to be executed in Missouri over a crime he is innocent of. His set date is 9/24/24. If you want to make a real change, please text MARCELLUS to 97016.

So, in light of the latest Super Bowl announcement from Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne decides to go online and talk about his feelings on the matter. Now, personally, I don't like how y'all are treating Wayne (but we'll talk about that more on the pod). However, everyone is blaming Jay-Z, saying he did this because of the Kendrick and Drake beef, and... he did. However, no one is talking about what Hov didn't do. Uh-oh, you might want to buckle in this week cause it's a bumpy ride of the Arts Block Podcast.

Y'all know about pretty privilege right? It's when you get certain attention or get things easier based on your looks and beauty. Well, petty privilege works the same way. Sometimes when you're so petty, (especially to someone the public doesn't like) you can get away with almost anything. That's a common trait with some of the people that we're speaking about today. Kendrick Lamar has proved that he's the king of being petty, Shannon Sharpe has been petty all of his life. Taraji P Henson is petty but y'all don't give her the same grace as everyone else (we know why). Pharell is petty too we keep it on the low. So as we move through this episode, think about one thing. How can one person be so petty?Links:https://www.instagram.com/ericcurryiii/https://www.instagram.com/artsblockpodcast/https://linktr.ee/ArtsBlock --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/eric-curry-iii/support

We have been dealing with much loss in the culture and the community. We've lost a very talented and legendary rapper Rich Homie Quan and legendary actor James Earl Jones. However, with all of the loss we've been seeing, there has been some light. One of the biggest lights that we have seen has been Kendrick Lamar announcing he will be headlining Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans. Now if my memory serves me correctly, later last year 2 dudes got on a track and said that they are "big as the Super Bowl". Huh... it's funny how life works ain't it.

The saying goes "Men lie, Women lie, but numbers don't". However, with the recent influx in streaming numbers and sales in a market where streams and sales are historically low, you can't help but think that numbers lie too. Today on the podcast we're going to crack down on some suspicions that we have, while also cracking down on some other situations. I think I'm going to change this saying. Men Lie, Women Lie, and Numbers Lie.

WHY?? The portal was closing and everything was going back to normal. Nobody brought up Kat Williams, nobody was getting exposed, and the timeline was filled with BBL's and gender wars like it should be. But now Steve Harvey called out Kat Williams to a fight, the DMV is coming for Keith Lee because of his food reviews, and this girl just told me she had a boy best friend. At least Big Sean dropped his album. However, I can only help but feel that... The Portal Is Opening.... again.

READ THE ROOM! You know sometimes you say something or do things that aren't appropriate at the time. So the response you might get for these things might not seem warranted to you but to others they are. That's how we feel about everyone in this week's episode of the Arts Block Podcast. Sometimes you need to look around and just read the room. So you won't be ending up getting talked about on the podcast!
