In the mid-1970's, a small college radio station created an evening program catering to a new socioeconomic group referred to as the “new Black middle class.” The show was called “The Quiet Storm” and it grew so popular that an entire genre of music would spring up alongside it. Artists like Anita Baker, Luther Vandross, and many more would find massive success in the genre, performing smooth and sexy songs you could turn on after a long day. Audio producer Christopher Johnson made a piece about The Quiet Storm for the legendary podcast about design 99% Invisible and he joins Anna to talk about why Quiet Storm music will always feel like home to him.You can listen to The Quiet Storm playlist from 99% Invisible here and check out the seasons of Slow Burn that Christopher worked on here: Season 3 - Biggie and Tupac and Season 4 - David Duke.

You really can't knock the hustle. We knew something was afoot once the umlaut showed up on streaming services. Jaÿ-Z began a brilliant rollout of tracks that provided the soundtrack for my adolescence to a new generation. While noticing this, I realized how few Jaÿ songs I played in the car and how my sons really did not know his music like that. I'd played enough clean edits of Nas and Biggie for the boys to have their favorite records but the third wing of the NY triumvirate was less familiar to them. And honestly I don't know how that happened. For years, I cycled between streaming services—including TIDAL—and made playlists to enjoy every December 4th. Jaÿ's music is an example of what I love most about hip-hop from my youth, it made you aspire. Jaÿ had my generation going to parties dressed like we were going to a job interview. All that hypercapitalist energy made you want to be somebody!I changed trains at two fifth and a mystical throughline helped me clock everyone who was on their way to the show. Out of towners, gentrifiers, and those from the soil all had a certain look of anticipation as we stood on the train platform. One cat wearing a Knicks jersey, fitted, and cable link exemplified my feeling of how Jaÿ's concert is a continuation of a top tier NY summer. We piled onto the train and I overheard conversations of folks who came up from Baltimore, Atlanta, flew in from Vancouver, and Seattle. It's another glimpse of how the specific taps into universality. Jaÿ wove tales of surviving Brooklyn that seamlessly fit into American mythology and everywhere where Horatio Alger echoes.I watched the show with its brilliant use of videos interspersed with American flags, urban life, and crosses and saw an artist using his medium to communicate a problem to a people he helped lull to sleep. Jaÿ delivered another freestyle with a critique for his critics turning the accusation of being a sell out on its head by acknowledging the sold out show he headlines. Hearing him point out that his detractors prolly had an Amazon account and therefore are hypocritical for criticizing his business dealings with Target made me think about the dangerous trajectory of that line of thought. It is a line of thought that I believe Jaÿ shares with his detractors. It is not productive to demand perfection from one another. What some call contradictions, I see as complexities. I taught and ministered to children on the same Brooklyn streets Jaÿ illustrated with hopes of providing a path away from those realities. When I was in high school, I protested the building of the Barclays Center not knowing that I would take my kids there later in life. I am mindful of my complicity and understand that I will never reduce my participation in harm to zero. Yet we still must have space to challenge each other to do better. If a rebuke is going to be met with a retelling of my faults, then what is the point of keeping each other on point?I met up with two of my friends from our Hip-Hop discord channel and our conversation eventually drifted toward abolition. Jaÿ is often rightfully criticized for believing capitalism is our way out rather than our cage but with the stakes as high as they are (and always have been?) I'm also tired of cannibalizing. We spend so much time picking each other apart because we disagree on solutions rather than embracing those who also recognize that there is a problem. The forces that seek our destruction have put their differences aside in the name of their common goal. We have an obligation to each other. An obligation that is fulfilled in the midst of our dynamic, never arriving selves. There is always room for us to get better and there is always room for us to celebrate one another.In my most generous thoughts, I think of Shawn Carter as a man who embodies the American definition of success and overcame insurmountable odds to do so. If you experience that kind of winning, you would want to lay the blueprint out so that others can trace your steps as best as they can. I can see his articulation of financial freedom as a form of generosity and inspiration to others. I know entrepreneurs who came up in similar circumstances whose ambition is undergirded by “Jaÿ made it, I can too!” Confessedly, whenever I have success in my career, I play something from Jaÿ's catalog to celebrate.I went to the concert to celebrate my brother's 40th birthday. We talked about being friends since 7th grade, my first year at our school. I mentioned how Volume 2 came out that year and its popularity made my transition into a new school easier. He remarked how there weren't a lot of us at that school and I shared how my strategy of getting through was to not pay attention to how few in number we were. My mindset is best captured by Jaÿ's articulation on “Pound Cake”, “Less is more…it's plenty of us.” As my son begins middle school in parallel circumstances, I hope he finds similar rocket fuel.It is not easy being in a new environment and the difficulty increases when the ceiling they try to place over us is so low. I live my life largely unconcerned with such low expectations and am training my sons to move through the apartheid with the appropriate armor. The gravity of oppression intends to crush our bones and our spirits, it is up to us to remind ourselves of our greatness and to teach our children that their own excellence is accessible.BaddestChaplain's Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.

FULL EPISODE ONLY ON: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast   STRAIGHT AI SUMMARY: This week on Dopey Tuesday, Dave checks in fresh from another brutally sweaty workout with his new trainer, who thankfully traded emo music for N.W.A. and Biggie. Dave talks about embracing the Dopey fitness challenge, surviving leg day, walking miles in the summer heat, and learning a little humility while trying to get back into shape.   Since he's banking episodes before heading out on vacation, Dave changes things up by reading the Just For Today meditation on humility and reflects on what it means to accept getting older, staying teachable, and laughing at himself.   Then come the classic Dopey stories. James D. Hart sends in an unforgettable tale from his crack-smoking days in Cleveland, where his favorite dealer—nicknamed "400"—fronted him more and more drugs until James eventually disappeared owing him exactly $400, making for one of the funniest addict coincidences imaginable.   Dave follows with a voicemail from longtime Dopey Nation member Amy, who recalls taking what she thought was cocaine after a night of ecstasy at a Lower East Side club, waking up alone after closing time, and walking across Manhattan as the sun rose—one of those strange, lonely New York mornings only addiction can produce.   Finally, Dave teases an exclusive Patreon interview with Workit Health's Max, diving into medication-assisted recovery, recovery stigma, and why the conversation around Suboxone and recovery still needs to evolve.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Biggie Is Having Scrotal Issues

My guest this week was Taylor Land, owner of Peculiar Pirate- a brand where they take the mantra of living a pirate's life and infuse it into their shirts and goods. I got to talk with Taylor about his childhood love of things related to pirates, nautical, and beach, and how it became a clothing brand.  We discussed the evolution and growth of the brand, and about taking away the perimeters and perfection, and letting him be creative without bounds.  I have enjoyed seeing the growth of Peculiar Pirate and was great talking with him on what's next he is trying to do to grown his brand.  Lunch with Biggie is a podcast about small businesses and creatives sharing their stories and inspiring you to pursue your passion, with some sandwich talk on the side.

Mira K. (28) ist ein klassisches "Pick-Me-Girl", für das Optik, der Beauty-Salon und das Fitnessstudio an allererster Stelle stehen. Sie liebt es, sich als makellose Begleitung an der Seite ihres erfolgreichen Ehemanns Lukas zu präsentieren und die Bewunderung anderer Männer zu ernten. Als Tochter Biggie auf die Welt kommt, sieht Mira in dem kleinen Mädchen vor allem einen Störfaktor für ihren straffen Trainingsplan und die eigene Traumfigur. Anstatt Zeit mit ihrem Kind zu verbringen, gibt sie Biggie so früh und so lange wie möglich in die Kinderkrippe ab, um ungestört an ihrem "Babyfett" und den perfekten Oberarm-Umfängen zu arbeiten. Sie hat nicht das geringste Mitgefühl für müde, berufstätige Mütter und genießt lieber ihr Luxusleben. Lukas spielt dieses oberflächliche Spiel lange mit, doch eines Tages ist das Haus plötzlich leer: Lukas hat Biggie mitgenommen und lässt Mira per Brief wissen, dass er das Kind vor dem psychischen Schaden durch eine so vernachlässigende, egoistische Mutter schützen muss. Mira bricht auf dem Küchenboden zusammen, erkennt endlich ihren fatalen Fehler und kämpft nun mithilfe von Anwälten um das Umgangsrecht für Biggie, in der vagen Hoffnung auf ein Wunder und eine allerletzte Chance für ihre zerstörte Familie. -------------- Unser Special Guest: Lydia Prenner-Kasper ✨ Ein riesengroßes Dankeschön an die wundervolle Lydia Prenner-Kasper für den Besuch! Sie bringt uns nicht nur am Podcast-Tisch zum Lachen, sondern rockt mit ihrem scharfen Humor auch die Bühnen des Landes.

In this episode of The Truth In This Art, the guest is Jacob Ming-Trent!About Jacob Ming-Trent: Acclaimed performer, playwright, and one of American Theater's people to watch. A celebrated artist bringing his solo play, How Shakespeare Saved My Life, to Washington, DC's Folger Theater, and later to The Public Theater in New York with Red Bull producing.In our conversation, Ming-Trent walks through his journey from a rough childhood in an abusive home to moving to New York at seventeen—having been homeless the previous year and recently dropped out of high school. He recalls the pivotal moment Shakespeare entered his life: at six years old, his father, an English major, mentioned the Bard alongside Amiri Baraka. Years later, he accidentally walked into the wrong classroom and was asked to read a Shakespeare speech. "It felt like home to me," he says. "The words were big enough to give context to my emotions that were inside."He digs into the origins of How Shakespeare Saved My Life, a play that poured out of him unexpectedly while working on a different project. The solo show follows a kid with a tough childhood who discovers Shakespeare and tries to use it to navigate his world—sometimes it works, sometimes it fails. "It's a raucous ride, it's outrageous, it's funny, it's sad, and in the end we experience some black joy," Ming-Trent shares. We discuss his decision to leave theater at 35 after feeling treated like "an affirmative action hire," his pivot to television in LA, and how a call from director Saheem Ali brought him back to the stage to lead Shakespeare in the Park in Merry Wives—which ultimately led to writing this play. He reflects on the influence of figures like Biggie, Tupac, James Baldwin, and Basquiat—all artists trying to save their lives through their work. He also talks about audience interaction, the differences between performing in Berkeley and DC, and why vulnerability and fear are necessary parts of telling personal stories.Be sure to follow Jacob Ming-Trent and catch How Shakespeare Saved My Life, running until July 5th at Folger Theater (201 East Capitol Street SE, Washington, DC). Tickets start at $20. The play is also published by Bloomsbury Publishing. After DC, the show heads to The Public Theater in New York. The Truth In This Art is supported by William G.

The whole crew from is all together in person for an expansive deep dive into the cultural touchstones that shaped a generation. In this episode, we move beyond surface-level takes to dissect the complex legacy of Eddie Murphy's iconic 1982–1992 film run, specifically examining Arsenio Hall's crucial role in sustaining Murphy's momentum during that era.   We also turn up the heat on our recurring music debates. We face the tough questions: Does Ludacris have a true "classic" album, and how do the legendary discographies of Toni Braxton and Donell Jones stack up against one another?

Biggie Goes For A World Record.

Some producers make beats. Pete Rock built a blueprint. On this episode of Unglossy, Bun B, Jeffrey Sledge, and Tom Frank sit down with the legendary producer, DJ, and MC for a wide-ranging conversation that runs from his Mount Vernon roots all the way to the present moment. Pete takes us back to coming up under Heavy D, spinning on WBLS next to Marley Marl at 13 years old, and the basement studio where Biggie, Run DMC, Nas, and half of hip hop passed through. He breaks down the stories behind the classics: how "T.R.O.Y." came out of real grief and taught him to treat music like medicine, how Jam Master Jay tapped out the drums on "Down with the King," and how he ended up singing the hook on "The World Is Yours." Plus the new De La Soul album, his love of comics, and why, after 53 years without a chip, these Knicks have him out of his head in the best way. It is a masterclass, a memory lap, and a love letter to New York, all in one. Follow us on Instagram @UnglossyPod to join the conversation, and get early access plus live recordings and more at Merrick Studios+. Unglossy is produced and distributed by Merrick Studios, where culture takes the mic.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down why the Knicks Game 3 loss may not be as disastrous as it felt, while still digging into the warning signs that could change the entire series. From Jalen Brunson's turnovers to the free throw discrepancy and the fading power of home court advantage, the conversation captures the nervous energy around a pivotal Game 4. The guys also react to Shaquille O'Neal's blunt take on Victor Wembanyama's physicality, debate whether the Knicks have anyone willing to push back, and decide who deserves blame for potentially jinxing New York. They close with a bigger argument about Wembanyama's future, how many championships he can win, and whether he could someday become a New York star.

In this episode of the Ern & Iso Podcast, the fellas dive into one of the most debated hip-hop lists of the year: Complex's Top 50 New York Rappers of All Time.Did they get it right?

From the undeniable icons like Jay-Z, Nas, Biggie, Rakim, and LL Cool J to the newer generation of New York stars, the duo debates what really matters when ranking greatness: lyrics, impact, influence, longevity, commercial success, or cultural significance.The conversation also explores New York's historic role in hip-hop, how different eras should be judged, and whether fans allow nostalgia to outweigh actual accomplishments. Plus, the guys ask the ultimate question: Can any city compete with New York's rap legacy?Whether you're a backpack rap purist, a mainstream hip-hop fan, or someone who loves a good music debate, this episode is guaranteed to get you talking.

1062 - No Big Deal / No Biggie - English Tips in a Minute | Happy EnglishHey there! It's Michael here - and welcome back to English Tips in a Minute from Happy English. Today, let's look at two really common conversational responses - “no big deal” and “no biggie.”We use no big deal or no biggie to mean “it's not a problem” or “don't worry about it.” They're casual, friendly ways to respond when someone apologizes or thanks you.For example, imagine your friend says: “Sorry I'm a little late.”  You could reply: “No big deal.”Or maybe a coworker says:  “Thanks for helping me with that report.”  You can say: “No biggie!”We also use these phrases when something small goes wrong: “Oops, I spilled a little coffee.”  “Oh, no big deal.”No biggie sounds a little more casual and playful, while no big deal is a bit more common for everyday situations.Lemme know in the comments which one you'd use, and remember to follow or subscribe so you don't miss the next Happy English Podcast and next week's English Tips in a Minute.Hey, thanks for listening — and until next time, keep learning and keep it cool.The Happy English PodcastHelping people speak English better since 2014Over 1,000 episodes • 8 million downloads

This week's episode The Social Work Rants Podcast features Sabella (Bella) Reyes, a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in the music industry. Bella explained her role as the self-proclaimed first "music industry social worker," focusing on supporting independent music creators who generate less than 50% of their income from music by providing mental health support, business literacy training, and resource navigation for the independent music community. We discussed the challenges independent artists face including work-life balance issues, lack of proper artist development, and the impact of AI music on the industry, with Bella sharing her experience transitioning from the US Navy to working with independent artists and her leadership journey in corrections mental health. The conversation also covered how the music industry has evolved from the label-supported era of the 1980s and 1990s to the current digital age where artists must handle both creative and business aspects of their careers. Bella discussed challenges in the music industry, particularly for independent artists, including issues with AI-generated content and intellectual property rights. They highlighted the financial struggles of independent artists who often fund their own projects and the lack of camaraderie and sportsmanship in the industry, using historical conflicts like those between Tupac and Biggie as examples. The conversation concluded with a discussion on the importance of sharing information and resources in both the music industry and social work, emphasizing collaboration over competition.Bella can be found on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/bella_beatmessengerFollow the podcast on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/thesocialworkrantspodcast

Eddie is the photographer behind some of the most iconic images of 90s hip hop, jungle and drum & bass, garage and grime. He was Metalheadz's official photographer, shot Wu-Tang Clan, Aaliyah, Biggie, Jay-Z, So Solid Crew, Estelle, Chronixx, and pretty much every rapper you cared about coming up. His work is currently exhibited at the V&A East, and he's spent the last 30 years documenting London's black music and dance culture.Eddie grew up in Brixton, Stockwell and Vauxhall, falling into record collecting at Groove Records in Soho when he was so small he couldn't see over the counter. He picked up his first camera in the late 80s — a Praktika left behind by a friend's granddad — and went on to build one of the most important visual archives of UK club culture. This is a long, deep, wide-ranging conversation, and one I came away from genuinely feeling like I'd learned something. I hope you do too.Topics covered:Growing up in South London and the village mentality of the areaEarly days at Groove Records, Red Records, Dub Vendor and the record shops of SohoGetting online in the mid-90s via Direct Connection in Stockwell — and how hip hop became the global languagePicking up a Praktika camera and falling into photography alongside record collectingWhy being analog matters in a "post-fact" world of remastered records and retconned historyThe Canon EOS 10 and learning to shoot in pitch-black clubsShooting jungle raves, Metalheadz, and protecting young people from tabloid demonisationHow Red Bull, smoking bans and changing crowd behaviour shifted the look and feel of clubsThe art of the loop — Alchemist, Dilla, No I.D. and chasing perfect samplesWorking with Wu-Tang as teenagers and learning to build a body of workPhotographing Aaliyah, Biggie, Jay-Z, Estelle and ChronixxAround the early days of grime and why he gravitated toward So Solid in South LondonDrum & bass being run by women, and the importance of Chemistry and StormThe General Levy "cancellation", gatekeeping, and protecting a cultureThe V&A East exhibition and the tension between DIY scenes and academic curationLee Scratch Perry, dub museums, and what music history should look likeMeta glasses, AI as a personal agent, and digital asset management for photographersHis advice for new photographers: intention is everything

One small step into the wrong classroom becomes a giant leap into a new life as a Shakespearean actor. That's how Jacob Ming-Trent tells it in his remarkable one-man tour-de-force, How Shakespeare Saved My Life. As the Folger prepares to welcome How Shakespeare Saved My Life to the stage this June, Ming-Trent joins us to delve deeper into his story. Ming-Trent is no stranger to the Folger stage, having previously presented How Shakespeare Saved My Life at the 2024 Reading Room Festival and portrayed Nick Bottom in A Midsummer Night's Dream in 2022. A multitalented stage and screen actor, he has appeared in Broadway musicals from Gypsy to Shrek, television series like Watchmen and Ray Donovan, and films including The Forty-Year-Old Version and Friendship. In this episode, Ming-Trent presents Shakespeare as an urban poet in the vein of Tupac and Biggie. He breaks down the inspiration behind How Shakespeare Saved My Life and how he brings his own experience to his interpretation of Shakespeare's words, rearranging and reframing them to create something uniquely personal.
