Podcasts about Hip hop

Today's guest has rewired modern hip-hop. His fingerprints live all over the last decade but the real story behind that success is far more human, painful, and transformative than the headlines ever show. In this conversation, he opens up about the highs and lows of being a producer in hip-hop: the pressure, the politics, the contracts, the moments that nearly broke him, and the breakthroughs that almost didn't happen. He also shares the lessons shaped by fatherhood, betrayal, and real perseverance — all while creating some of the most important and culture-defining music of our time. And The Writer Is... Hitboy!

Our duo covers many topics within the topic from lack of substance to corporate involvement diluting the source materials. Does this make hip-hop artist hungry again? Will it spark a new hip-hop renaissance? Does the community even need a corporation telling them whats hot? Who really drives the culture? We got question, questions.

Instagram Youtube TiktokSpotifyBio Clinton Brand III, better known as CBIII, is a California-based rapper whose new single “I Won't Quit” delivers a motivational and relatable message for anyone facing hardship. Produced by Tunna Beats, the track carries a Blurry Face energy. It opens with a violin and the soft vocalizations of featured singer Alex Brinkley. When the beat drops, piano, bass, and drums blend with CBIII's reflections on overthinking, contemplating, and debating why he refuses to give up.Lines such as:Sad but I should be filled with joy.Played with my heart just like it was a toy.But the truth is I'm tired of venting.This constant feeling is relentless.Nobody wants to listen and everyone is a critic.Hate my life but I won't give up, I can't give in.illustrate the emotional tension of the song. “I Won't Quit” confronts the fear of failure—what if I'm not good enough—while contrasting it with the resilience expressed in the title.The song's final quatrain is especially powerful. Beginning with CBIII's signature wordplay, the message ultimately becomes one of determination and positive change:Phenomenal and astronomical anomaly, that's what I would like to be.I don't want to eat, I don't want to sleep.Tired of this life, the way that I've been living.It's time to make a change for the greater good.This battle with self-doubt and constant overthinking makes “I Won't Quit” deeply relatable. CBIII hopes listeners feel inspired to stay strong when they face similar struggles.The inspiration behind the song is intensely personal. After losing both parents at a young age, Brand was raised by his grandmother and later entered foster care. A recent visit, during which he saw his grandmother's memory fading, was painful for him because she had once been his greatest supporter. It left him feeling abandoned and in a dark place.“I wrote the song ‘I Won't Quit' because at that time I was suicidal. I didn't have anybody else to turn to because my grandma didn't really care anymore,” he shares.The vulnerability in the lyrics initially made him hesitant to release the track. “I actually sat on the song for about five months before even thinking about releasing it because it is so close to home that I wasn't sure if I would have the courage to share it.”Now that the song is out, that vulnerability has become its greatest strength. Many listeners can identify with the experience of missing family support, doubting themselves, and still knowing they must push forward.Beyond his personal drive to achieve greatness, Brand has another powerful motivation: his younger brother, who is also in foster care. Knowing his brother looks up to him, he wants to be an example that resilience matters.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

Join us for a special edition of FaceTime with The Baseline featuring best-selling author and cultural commentator Shea Serrano. Hosted by co-host Warren Shaw, this episode dives into Serrano's latest book, Expensive Basketball, a captivating exploration of basketball's unquantifiable magic beyond the box-score. Shea opens up about his journey — from middle-school science teacher to four-time New York Times bestseller author (including hits like Basketball (and Other Things). He shares how Expensive Basketball reframes iconic players, moments and games — from the final 196 seconds of Kobe Bryant's career to the fearless artistry of Tim Duncan and the motion poetry of Sue Bird — through the lens of emotion, memory and what a truly great hoop moment feels like.In this wide-ranging conversation, Serrano talks about writing with humor and heart, the evolving culture of basketball storytelling, and how Expensive Basketball pushes back against the era of numbers-only analysis in sports. Whether you're a die-hard NBA fan or simply love stories that make you feel the game, this episode is a must-listen.
