Yugen Blakrok doesn't incorporate hip hop's boom-bap style, she has no interest in being the Queen of SA rap, she does not do trap, and she is not interested in being boxed into someone's idea of a conscious MC. Her music has been described as “a mix of sci-fi soundscapes & meditative melodies”. It's definitely introspective and speaks to you on several levels. It blends references to places, times, & themes both inside and outside of South Africa and contains spiritual references that borrow from diverse spiritual systems Yugen Blakrok was born in the Eastern Cape and later moved to Johannesburg, the heart of South Africa’s music industry. She released her 1st album Return of the Astro-Goth in 2013 and her second album, Anima Mysterium, which contains a cameo by Chuck D in 2019. In 2018, she featured on the track “Opps” with Vince Staples & Kendrick Lamar on the Black Panther soundtrack. In this interview, she engages in thought-provoking dialogue with our students who really connected with her music, which transcends a lot of boundaries. Yugen's music does not just belong to South Africa but has universal messages that connect on human levels. Additionally, she spoke to us about being a socially conscious artist without the need to declare it, but being socially conscious by being it, not necessarily saying it. The conversation is moderated by Mikal Amin of Words Beats & Life. We're joined at the very end by Phiwokuhle Mnyandu, who teaches Zulu at Howard University.

This is a special episode of the Hip Hop African Podcast. It is a collaboration between the HHA Podcast and the Global Hip Hop Exchange (GHHE), which is an online network/community of hip hop creatives who are primarily from, or based in, Africa. In the first discussion, or palaver, several hip hop creatives from around the continent came together to talk about the impacts of the Corona virus on our lives, personally and creatively. The discussion also centered on income security for artists, how artists are finding ways to get through these difficult times, and how folks are feeding their creativity. The discussion included members of the GHHE, all of whom have been involved in hip hop culture in their respective countries for several years. The roster of this, the first of what will hopefully be several, palaver is: Dumi Right/@DumiRight | MC & Member of the veteran rap group Zimbabwe Legit | from Zimbabwe, based in the Washington, DC area | Bandcamp: https://phmusic.bandcamp.com Fete Jen/@Fete_Jen | hip hop organizer & founder of The Lounge (open mic event) and producer of the upcoming mixtape | from the U.S., previously based in Tanzania, currently based in Pretoria.

Captain Marvel [vol 3] #1 (1995)When you go to the movies this weekend to see CAPTAIN MARVEL, just remember that instead of Carol, it could have been his snappy 90s space-boy. Genis-Vell is one of them aged clones — technically the “son” of the original Captain Mar-Vell — who grew up on nu-metal and probably drank Fruitopia or Orbitz on the regular. He turned out to be a grimy rager and in his first solo story, he takes a huge dump in a space toilet and then accidentally commits mass murder on a bunch of space-faring Shi’ar. Nice work buddy.Email the podcast at worstcollectionever@gmail.comContinue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield
Batman/Superman #13 (2014)Back to the superhero comics grind as we cover some DC farts from the 21st century! (WAVE OF THE FUTURE)Batman and Superman are both amnesiacs all of sudden, shuttled violently into a Gotham that looks like blighted as all hell. Clark is naked (but not afraid) helping Catwoman beat up some garbage androids while Bruce is discovering his wealth and gadgets all over again. We also find the filthiest bathroom in all of Gotham, a feat unto itself.Email the podcast at worstcollectionever@gmail.comContinue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield
I Love You #49 (1963)We jump back to the Charlton Comics romance “MurderVerse” to bring you three more tales of love lost, blinded or simply postponed:a freshly minted widower abandons his newborn son to go mule drugs in Venezuelaa lovesick woman insults a blind man on a beacha commitment hungry redhead settles for the Charlton Comics MurdererEmail the podcast at worstcollectionever@gmail.comContinue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield
Oh man, a long-forgotten DC Comics team of characters from the 90s! These are the most jabroni loser heroes we’ve seen in a long time, with one dude walking around in nothing but Dr. Manhattan’s underpants. The rest are a bunch of generic heroes with generic powers who just happen to all be hot for each other or something (hence the title of the comic). The actual genesis of this team is that two of them met at a NASCAR race.Anyway, they all get together to fight crime...but not in this issue. Junior (the small one) has to get a ride from his mom and the creepy hypnotic leader Hard Drive goes on to be Governor of Connecticut.Email the podcast at worstcollectionever@gmail.comContinue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield
Teen-Age Confidential Confessions #16 (1963)Our hearts are pumping romance this month on WCE and we are starting out strong with this Charlton Comics gem of a love anthology. We’ve got:a traumatized woman, haunted by the abandonment of her drug mule father, contemplating marriage due to a rained-out Yankees gamea handsome stranger stalking a depressed lady in an elevatora thrifty gal refusing to accept the gift of James Corden from her suitorthe same handsome stranger from the second story stalking a recently jilted girl at a swimming poolEmail the podcast at worstcollectionever@gmail.comContinue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield
Power Lords #1 (1983)Does anyone remember the Power Lords action figures as a kid? Probably not many of you. It was kind of high-concept sci-fi stuff that your grandfather probably liked if he watched Doctor Who. I mean, it feels like DUNE with a prince of mystical origin and all that. Sadly, Patrick Stewart wearing a pug into battle is nowhere to be found.Regardless, DC did a comic to promote the gimmicks featuring one of the most veiny protagonists outside of John Cena. He’s teamed up with Red Tornado in an owl costume to take on a space crab and his friends. There’s also a snooty astrologist because kids love condescending colleagues wherever they can get them.Email the podcast at worstcollectionever@gmail.comContinue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield
X-O Manowar #16 (1993)My perception has always been that Valiant Comics are perpetually boring, with Archer & Armstrong and all that (I’ve never read it). Turns out though, Valiant - specifically X-O Manowar - is visceral AF and we like it. The story is pretty wild too. X-O Manowar gets back from strike-busting to help a young socialite escape her mother - played by Stockard Channing - who is hunting her down for mucking up her illegal alien firearm ring. Johnny Blaze shows up and gets scared by a horse.Email the podcast at worstcollectionever@gmail.comContinue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield
ShadowHawk [vol 1] #4 (1993)We head back to Image for some vengeance-tinged action with Jim Valentino’s ShadowHawk, a character that speaks in second-person and knocks the literal tomato soup out of criminals. Thankfully, Savage Dragon is here to reign him in and possibly break his spine. So much spine-breaking-threatening in this book.Email the podcast at worstcollectionever@gmail.comContinue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield
Batman #163 (1964)Its two Silver Age Batman stories in one book….aren’t we blessed? In the first story, Alfred writes some fanfic (for real) that imagines Dick-Batman and Robin Jr. Jr. teaming up with Batwoman II on Earth-40 to face a mad scientist that failed engineering hard and made a fist-ship that should never fly. Thankfully, 100 lb Batwoman II is a kayfabe linebacker and can tackle steel machines into mobsters with ease.In the second story, Joker puts Batman on trial for not allowing crime to happen. Batman cosplays Robin as a smallpox sufferer and go on to thwart Joker’s chances at winning a tour of the Batcave like he’s Vicki Vale or something.Email the podcast at worstcollectionever@gmail.comContinue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield
Speedball #2 (1988)This ain’t a podcast about doing lots of coke and heroin but we do address that. It’s actually about the New Warriors goof that would indirectly change comics forever. SPEEDBALL is also another sub-par Steve Ditko book that we’re covering, featuring anachronistic attire, teenagers murdering Lex Luthor with glue and PTSD-riddled veterans on a rampage versus bloodthirsty beat cops.Email the podcast at worstcollectionever@gmail.comContinue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield
The Brave and The Bold #51 (1964)In honor of the AQUAMAN movie (which we review), we also dig into the time that Aquaman and Hawkman teamed up to face a Turtle-Eagle-Frog that used to be a disgraced Atlantean politician that became an atrocity. There’s a bunch of malarkey with birds and fish being controlled by the wrong people and what not. Why do they have to be controlled at all? LEAVE THE BIRDS AND FISH ALONE!!! Anyway, Aquaman murders a bunch of fish while Hawkman ruins a progressive transit project to pump a bunch of birds into Atlantis. Shayera turns to a harpy but not a “my wife won’t let me sit around in my underwear when her in-laws are over….what a harpy” harpy but an actual lady bird harpy. It's Bob Haney — don’t ask.Email the podcast at worstcollectionever@gmail.comContinue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield
Tales to Astonish #5 [Vol 2] (1980)In this Sub-Mariner reprint, we get introduced to Todd Arliss aka Tiger Shark who was on the verge of making millions of dollars for swimming until he decided to become a jagged tooth shark man. Is that even possible? Making millions for swimming? Anyway, pre-death, pre-starfish body Doctor Dorcas wreaks all the havoc while Sub-Mariner wears a chastity vest or something and Lady Dorma gets into a car accident in the ocean.Email the podcast at worstcollectionever@gmail.comContinue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield
Congorilla #4 (1993)In the 90s, no one was safe from getting extreme, not even immortal apes mentally inhabited by jungle explorers. In this Congorilla reboot, Congo Bill’s jungle child companion (ugh) grows up and goes wild…er as he takes over the Congorilla body from Bill and dresses it up as a low rent mall Dracula.Email the podcast at worstcollectionever@gmail.comContinue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield
Avengers Spotlight #21 (1989)Hawkeye somehow ends up in the desert with Orb, the less-attractive Harvey Dent. They're being stalked by Plantman for ruining his bio-dome which surely had Pauly Shore in it made completely of celery. Hawkeye has to fill his quiver full of water which should effectively ruin his arrows but kayfabe I guess.Later, Starfox goes to a flea market planet to buy a woman named after a furnace from a bunch of Skeksis dressed like Rip Torn in BEASTMASTER.Email the podcast at worstcollectionever@gmail.comContinue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfieldhttp://bit.ly/wcepod
This episode is a bit different from the rest because it features no comic book in peril. We’ve been hit with reality the past few weeks so this week, its just Jen and Shawn shooting the breeze about some comic book related madness including a tribute to Stan Lee.Email the podcast at worstcollectionever@gmail.comContinue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield
Sensation Comics #3 (1942)Don’t get fooled — we don’t own this actual comic. If we did, we’d have Dune Action Figure MOC money.This early yet epic installment of Wonder Woman’s history sees using her Amazonian brain to dominate the clerical industry only to get mistaken as a Nazi spy. Thankfully, WW clears her name by having Etta Candy kidnap and torture the real lady spy while Diana murders a bunch of Nazis with a ship anchor.Email the podcast at worstcollectionever@gmail.comContinue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield
The Vision #3 (1995)Vision’s been losing his mind and if that isn’t enough, he’s got the personalities of Wonder Man and a dead cop running around in his head. In the best course of action, Crystal throws sand from Montauk Beach in his face. Anyway, Ultron’s a face in this story, possessed by the personality of Burgess Meredith in ROCKY.Email the podcast at worstcollectionever@gmail.comContinue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield
Action Comics #444 (1975)Happy All Saints Day! This week, we check in with Superman and as it turns out, he killed Green Lantern. Spoiler alert: not really. Green Lantern just kayfabed his death so that he can keep Sinestro from dressing him up like Leo DiCaprio as J. Edgar Hoover. Superman’s got other stuff to worry about, like his constant emission of Cinnaburst flavor crystals and Steve Lombard throwing shade at him from a convertible for being too damn boring.Email the podcast at worstcollectionever@gmail.comContinue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield
Darkhold: Pages From the Book of Sins #5 (1993)This episode is a Halloween crossover with the WHAT THE HOPS podcast hosted by former WCE guest Brian Marek. We drink a few beers, one of which is Freddie Mercury-themed. The comic book isn’t much as its DARKHOLD, one of the lesser known Midnight Sons. It’s basically Ghostbusters but they’re looking for loose leaf pages. Regardless, it does feature a cannibalistic priest and Punisher’s family coming back from the dead, only for Frank to be like “nah man.” Ghost Rider’s here too, embracing the concept of friendship.Check out the WHAT THE HOPS podcast: http://hoppedupnetwork.com/podcast/whatthehopsEmail the podcast at worstcollectionever@gmail.comContinue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield
Monster Menace #1 (1993)Its yet ANOTHER anthology reprint gimmick book from Marvel because when else but Halloween times are we going to talk about this. This one comes with a special message from Stan Lee that we can’t be bothered to read.In this creepy collection: a sculptor’s Lou Ferrigno statue runs amok; Plutonians attempt to launder televisions to ax-wielding baby boomers; an intergalactic tyrant ventures into social media and we get a tropical retelling of Denzel Washington’s Flight.Email the podcast at worstcollectionever@gmail.comContinue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield
Batman and the Monster Men #5 (2006)This is allegedly the first time Batman and Hugo Strange square off as Strange farting around Gotham, creating a bunch of mutant Great Khalis. Gordon and Batman are getting to know each other (that’s sweet) and we see the debut of the Bat-Mobile.Also, we spend a bunch of time remembering GOTHAM on FOX even though we haven’t watched in a year. Did they ever figure out what the deal was with that dinosaur woman who was dating Thomas Wayne? Also, has Gordon been smartened up to the concept of “moshing?”Email the podcast at worstcollectionever@gmail.comContinue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield
Journey Into Mystery [vol 2] #12 (1974)Its October so we are going hardcore on spooky and monster-related books. To kick it off, we jump into JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY which has nothing to do with Thor and friends. This run was an anthology series that collected old Marvel and Atlas fantasy stories.In this particular issue, the writer of ZOMBIE ZOO falls victim to a vampiric Smurf; a genie grants a nihilistic child unlimited wishes; a Spencer’s Gifts gimmick sphere predicts George Costanza’s wife’s death; and a millionaire jokester terrorizes party guests with his Gremlins pneumatic chair. Email the podcast at worstcollectionever@gmail.comContinue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield
Eclipso #6 (1993)Its about damn time we got back to some Eclipso. In this issue of his ongoing, Eclipso takes over the body of Phil Lynott from Thin Lizzy and harasses the crap out of Bruce and Mona. The Creeper is there as well, only to make puns and get stabbed. Later, Eclipso tries to figure out some sort of convoluted poisoned cocaine scheme that will some how screw over Brazil or the US (?). Honestly, it shows he has no idea how to handle the yayo and has probably never seen SCARFACE.Email the podcast at worstcollectionever@gmail.comContinue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield
Fallen Angels #5 (1987)FALLEN ANGELS is NOT a comic about all the wayward daughters that Brett Michaels sang about. It’s basically a Sunspot back door pilot where he putzes around with the techno alien Warlock in (I think) the Bowery, joining up the Vanisher and soon-to-be X-Force randoms Siryn and Boom Boom to commit petty crimes. Bobby’s not into it though so in this issue we just focus on Devil Dinosaur getting loose and some cyborg kid that looks like Peter Billingsley attempting to corral her cybernetic lobsters. Spoiler: one of the lobsters die, but not by being eaten.Email the podcast at worstcollectionever@gmail.comContinue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield
Doom Patrol #117 (1968)The Doom Patrol split up their group early on here because Niles is too preoccupied with women whilst Robotman lies around looking like Anakin Skywalker on Mustafar and Negative Man suffers from ham deprivation. The minute they all leave, Clint Howard in a purple chicken costume arrives to attack a crippled man with an army of violent hummingbirds. Treachery persists until Doom Patrol is bailed out by a bunch of West Coast Native Americans riding Fire Mares. You know, those horses from KRULL.Email the podcast at worstcollectionever@gmail.comContinue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield
Spectacular Spider-Man #135 (1988)In one of his rare comic book appearances, the ever-affable Regis Philbin welcomes partially reformed serial killer Sin-Eater on his show, preceded by Mary Jane Watson modeling women’s fashion from the Gold Circle fall catalog. Peter Parker recovers from intense electrical burns enough to support his wife, only to get verbally embarrassed by a donut-fueled Electro.We also talk a lot about pizza in this episode.Email the podcast at worstcollectionever@gmail.comContinue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield
World’s Finest Comics #233 (1975)As promised, we dig into a Super Sons book this week as Superman Jr. and Batman Jr. Jr. roll into a town of independent women only to get thrown in jail for trying to be groovy. Later, Superman Jr. Jr. Jr. carries Batman Jr. the IV in one hand over his head like a waiter in a restaurant (ass-to-palm) to battle an alien who hates mirrors. This story ends with Batman Jr. to the Fifth Power tongue-kissing an entire town of traumatized women. Email the podcast at worstcollectionever@gmail.comContinue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield
X-Men [vol 2] #31 (1994)Much like the Bluths, the X-Men Blue team believes that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Join us this week as Gambit cooks up some morning gruel just so he can taunt Rogue that he ate it all while wearing tiny shorts.
