On this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by journalist and cultural commentator Dometi Pongo for a thoughtful and timely conversation about the shifting meaning of the American Dream (00:00). Together, they examine how societal promises of success have evolved—especially for younger generations—and how factors like student debt, economic disparity, and generational trauma have made the traditional path to "making it" feel more like a myth than a milestone (10:00). They discuss how poverty is experienced and perceived in America compared to other parts of the world (29:55), and how hustle culture and the pursuit of titles can often mask deeper feelings of discontent (20:06, 40:03). Throughout the episode, Mandii and Dometi dissect the weight of societal expectations (41:57), question the true value of college degrees, and explore how individuals—especially those from marginalized communities—can reclaim the narrative by defining success on their own terms (57:05). They emphasize the power of community, shared responsibility (45:18), and cultural awareness in reshaping how we view ambition, purpose, and personal fulfillment (49:22). With honesty, wit, and insight, this episode offers a refreshing take on what it means to thrive in today's world—without losing yourself chasing someone else's dream.“No Holes Barred: A Dual Manifesto Of Sexual Exploration And Power” w/ Tempest X!Pre Sale LinkFollow the Guest: IG:@dometi_Watch the full videos of each episode by subscribing to Patreon at Patreon.com/selectiveignoranceFollow the host on Social MediaMandii B Instagram/X @fullcourtpumpsFollow the show on Social MediaInstagram @selectiveignorancepodTiktok @selective.ignoranceX/Twitter @selectiveigpod

The Fugees were culturally unique in myriad ways. They were a trio comprised of one American-born Black woman and yet also two Haitian immigrants, who both took pride in their heritage. Naturally, this pride was weaved into the fabric of 1996's The Score, and the album's success meant that they were able to champion Haitian music in both America and abroad. In this episode, host Jill Hopkins speaks to the trio's family, friends, and fans about Haiti’s effect on the Fugees and the Fugees effect on Haiti, Haitians, and their fans who saw their own American immigrant and refugee experiences reflected back at them. Along for the journey are award-winning songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jon Batiste, producer Jerry Wonda, Ruffhouse Records co-founder Chris Schwartz, music journalists Dometi Pongo and Insanul Ahmed, and reggae legend Sly Dunbar. Together, they study the symbiosis between band and homeland as it pertains to the Fugees. Original music by Tony Piazza.

Instead of returning to the studio with outside producers, the Fugees took their $150k advance from Ruffhouse Records and ventured off to … the basement. Specifically, the Booga Basement in East Orange, NJ, where Wyclef Jean’s uncle and his cousin Jerry “Wonda” Duplessis lived. Booga, along with The Dungeon in Atlanta (where OutKast cut their debut), were two of the most successful underground studios in the game circa the mid-90s. These locales came with a productive, family vibe and endless head bobs to judge the quality of work. In this episode, host Jill Hopkins speaks to producer Jerry Wonda about building a studio and a sound that would continue the tradition of great New Jersey hip-hop. They also discuss why this kind of DIY ethos is so important to groups in the process of defining their sounds. Also heading into the basement are special guests Chris Schwartz and Joe Nicolo of Ruffhouse Records, in addition to MTV’s Dometi Pongo and Genius executive editor Insanul Ahmed.
