The legendary duo of Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince have been somewhat locked into this singular thought ever since their run ended in '93: That their music is squeaky clean, completely devoid of edge. But when you actually listen to some of the lyrics and subject matter told in the litany of storytelling tracks, they broach some interesting ground.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (1:07)Ben:MIKE x Tony Seltzer - Pinball IIKey Glock - Glockaveli: The DonRoc Marciano x Knowledge the Pirate - The Round TableCharlie:Gaidaa - YARNNayla Savannah - Be FreeDARGZ - Friends & FamilyTopic Intro/Ben's Research House - (8:18)Rock the House - (16:00)He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper - (26:26)And in This Corner... - (37:17)Homebase - (49:36)Code Red - (1:01:32)Lighter Note - (1:15:16)Thanks for listening.

This week we are discussing "Speed 2: Cruise Control", which is on the Mount Rushmore of bad sequels. This one had us discussing the terrible shoe-horned plot, not knowing anything about each other after 7 months, Geiger being a lame bad guy, golf clubs being the corny decoy, having a random character from 1 in part 2, and a ton more. The fact that the end sequence cost almost as much as the budget of the original is crazy. So much screaming and nonsense in this one, but a blast to discuss. Watch the unedited video review at sequelsonly.com/speed2The next sequel up is "Nutty Professor II" and for it, I chatted with actress Enya Flack, who had guest spots on some of my favorite shows growing up like Fresh Prince, Wayans Brothers, and more plus she had some great stories from her non-acting work on projects. Enya was a blast in a Roger Corman show called "Black Scorpion", which you must watch. Great chat.Follow us on all social media @sequelsonly, and our website is sequelsonly.com Review, rate, and share us with your friends, enemies, neighbors, exes, and even that annoying supermarket clerk!

This includes producing concerts and/or representing as a longtime agent for artists such as Usher, Prince, Diana Ross, Teena Marie, Chaka Khan, the Backstreet Boys - among othersThen there's the fine line between the grind in the streets and the hustle in the industry. Mark battled with con artists, drug dealers and pimps and people trying to show off their local high profile at the expense of his artists. “I didn't get too caught up in that because I had to keep one eye on the money!” He stayed focused, even when distractions of every kind showed up on the road–drugs, groupies, out-of-control artists–and he kept many ships afloat when everything should have drowned.

He would go on to become Director of Marketing at EMI/Capitol Records and expanded again, this time into radio, promotions, and into the fields of jazz and rap, earning accolades in promotions and even producing, writing, and publishing successful tracks like "Remember the First Time" for singer Eric Gable and "Midnight Hour" for rapper Lady Spice MC. Green moved as the industry moved and found himself in independent marketing and promotions consulting and secured a record deal with Light Year/Warner Brothers for his independent label, with singer/songwriter and R&B legend Teena Marie as his first artist. A year later, working with Northstar Distribution, Green became General Manager, distributing music for Prince's independent label, where the purple one signed R&B music siren Chaka Khan and the soul-stirrer and crooner Larry Graham on the artist's NPG Records. Soon, shaping his own destiny, Green launched Celebrity Talent Agency, representing a wide array of artists, where he's secured talents for tours, festivals and commercials nationally and globally. Ever-expanding his vision, Green also serves as Associate Director/General Manager of Lehman Performing Arts Center, Chairman of Artist Relations for The Hip-Hop Museum (THHM), and maintains ownership of Celebrity Talent Agency.

In this episode, we're breaking down some of the craziest stories in music, sports, and culture:
Hip Hop Hooray, Slackers!Today, we're diving into ‘80s rap—a new genre that was exploding right before our eyes. We'll cover the top-selling albums and the pioneers who started it all. Rap kicked off in the early ‘80s in New York City. LL Cool J's debut record Radio sold over a million units with “I Can't Live Without My Radio” as the lead single. Then Run-D.M.C.'s Raising Hell broke huge, selling three million copies, led by the first rock/rap hybrid track - their reimagining of Aerosmith's “Walk This Way.” The Beastie Boys' Licensed to Ill hit ten million thanks to the massive anthem that was “Fight for Your Right (To Party).” Rick Rubin produced all three of these breathrough records.Eric B. & Rakim's Paid in Full sold a million records—“I Ain't No Joke” set a new bar. Seriously, it wasn't until I started revisiting this stuff that I recalled how ahead of his time Rakim really was.Public Enemy's It Takes a Nation of Millions moved a million units with songs like “Don't Believe the Hype” and “Bring the Noise,” merging hip hop with social commentary. N.W.A's Straight Outta Compton sold three million records with no radio support since almost all of it was censored. Only “Express Yourself” was clean enough to get airplay! Dr. Dre was already a genius in the studio - that album sounds amazing.On the pop side of rap was Salt-N-Pepa's “Push It,” DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince with “Parents Just Don't Understand,” while the big dog was none other than MC Hammer's massively popular Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em, which sold ten million—“U Can't Touch This” was a party staple.For Gen X, rap was fresh and ours. These pioneers turned a street sound into a movement, selling millions on vinyl and cassettes.

Or peak efficiency?), while Joyhdae questions her entire childhood over a very questionable playground chant.We also dive into the latest mess: Dawn Robinson of En Vogue is living in her car, but apparently, it's by choice (??), Iman Shumpert fumbled the bag and the mansion, and Yandy Smith might be the new face of “stand by your man” no matter how many DMs he's in. Meanwhile, R. Kelly is making remixes from prison, and Doechii just delivered the collab we didn't know we needed with Tatyana Ali.Oh, and we debut a brand new segment—Jasmine's Corner—where we hit Joyhdae with some rapid-fire questions, including which sitcom mom she'd be and what NYC restaurant she'd bring back from the dead. Plus, we wrap things up with some of the most out-of-pocket dad (and auntie) jokes yet.Tap in for the mess, stay for the laughs, and as always, don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe!#VirgoSeasonPodcast ----We want to hear from you: What did you think about the Fresh Prince Nostalgia?

On today's show, we hear from a poet who honors her Louisiana Creole heritage in her new book, a playwright who works with a theatre company that presents plays from women and gender non-conforming artists over 40, and a drag parody of 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.'
Send us a textActress and author Karyn Parsons, best known as Hillary Banks from the classic sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, joins us for an amazing conversation. While Karyn gained fame from acting alongside Will Smith in the classic TV show and as the love interest of Damon Wayans in Major Payne, she got her start in acting in a little cult class 80's horror film, Death Spa! We go into all the details of her career and touch on her current work as an author of children's books.

Some of our veteran listeners of the Missing Chapter know a little something about us…the Phils love their 80s and 90s movies and sitcoms. We loved our Saturday morning cartoons, our Saved By The Bell routine, and our Fresh Prince of Bel Air rapping montage. My sisters, though, were addicted to one of the 90s shows that was a huge hit…Beverly Hills 90210. But it wasn't referred to as the full title, it was always referred to as 90210…the zip code. And that brings me to this episode of the Missing Chapter. The inquiry into the origins, facts, and unknowns about the national zip code. Maybe listening in today will allow this message to deliver easier and faster, leaving us more time for conversation and coffee. Welcome to the Missing Chapter, everyone, let's get started.Go toThe Missing Chapter Podcast website for more information, previous episodes, and professional development opportunities!

We're back! On this episode of Prisoners of Rock and Roll, we're flipping on the tube and talking about television theme songs! These are the tracks that play during the opening credits and get stuck in your head for the rest of the week. From classics like Cheers and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air to rock-driven intros like The Sopranos or Friends, TV theme songs are often as iconic as the shows themselves. They set the tone, build the vibe, and sometimes, they even tell a story better than the show ever could (looking at you, Gilligan's Island). So grab the remote, plop down on the couch, and tune in as we talk about the songs that had us singing along before we even knew what binge-watching was. Don't touch that dial—this episode's gonna be one for the record books! Episode Playlist & Other Stuff Check out our episode playlist here.

Allison Jones (Freaks and Geeks, The Office, Veep) is an Emmy Award-winning casting director. Allison joins the Armchair Expert to discuss growing up an Irish twin in Massachusetts, her first casting job on Family Ties, and how her love of TV prompted her move to California. Allison and Dax talk about the cast of the Golden Girls actually only being in their 50s, how the highlight of her career was meeting Quincy Jones while casting The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, and why jumping a car over another car is less scary than doing standup comedy. Allison explains the number one mistake actors make in auditions, why McLovin is still the most difficult role she's ever cast, and how she stays hungry and dialed-in after over 41 years on the job.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
