STEAM Box and the youth of the summer ACN program sit down with author and artist Dr. Nettrice Gaskins. Recognized as a leading pioneer of "Afrofuturism 3.0," Gaskins discusses how generative AI acts as a digital continuum of her background in computer graphics, education, and traditional fine arts.The conversation dives straight into the high-stakes debates surrounding AI in the arts today. Dr. Gaskins addresses the systemic racial biases baked into mainstream image generators, sharing how she bypasses stereotypical prompts to create art that truly represents Black women. The group also tackles the environmental and social costs of data centers built in underprivileged communities, contextualizing these technological challenges within a broader critique of capitalism.From navigating online "pitchforks" over her public airport art exhibits to unpacking the ongoing culture wars involving major musical figures like Lupe Fiasco, Drake, and Kendrick Lamar, Dr. Gaskins offers a masterclass in staying resilient. She also shares fascinating behind-the-scenes details of her recent visual design collaboration with Oscar-winning costume designer Ruth Carter on the film Sinners, as well as her innovative STEAM lab project that utilizes micro:bits to turn the traditional, enslaved Juba/Hambone dance into personalized, bias-free AI models. Ultimately, she challenges the next generation of creators to look past simple "virtue signaling" and build non-hierarchical systems that reshape our collective future.#Afrofuturism #AIArt #NettriceGaskins #STEAMEducation #AIBias #STEAMBoxPodcast #CreativeCoding #CultureWars #JubaDance

In this bonus episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B and the crew jump into one of the most polarizing conversations in sports and politics: transgender women competing in women’s athletics. The discussion begins with a sports rant [00:06 ] before asking who should ultimately determine WNBA eligibility rules—the league, its players, governing bodies, or outside lawmakers [ 01:08 ]. The crew weighs arguments surrounding biology, gender identity, and athletic competition [ 02:36 ], including questions of physicality and competitive fairness [ 05:57 ], before testing the conversation through hypothetical locker-room scenarios [ 07:15 ] and considering how much voting power WNBA players themselves should have over league policy [ 08:22 ]. They unpack what people actually mean when discussing gender transition [ 10:48 ] and question whether the larger controversy has become a political distraction from issues with a more direct impact on everyday Americans [ 14:26 ], before humor enters the debate through a conversation about the financial realities associated with transitioning [ 15:26 ]. The crew switches gears to music [ 20:42 ] after encountering a report claiming releases from major artists including Taylor Swift, Drake, Bad Bunny, and Kendrick Lamar coincided with increases in deadly traffic crashes [ 20:49 ]. Rather than accepting the headline at face value, they question correlation versus causation [ 21:59 ], dig into the statistics, methodology, data sources, and variables that could influence the findings [ 25:28 ], and debate whether audience and attendance numbers complicate the conclusions [ 26:48 ]. Hip-hop discourse continues as they unpack The Game’s grievances involving Kendrick Lamar and Nipsey Hussle’s circle [ 27:12 ], questioning mixed messages, loyalty, comparisons, and when legitimate criticism begins to resemble attention-driven conflict [ 30:02 ]. Politics returns to the forefront as the hosts react to Elon Musk calling for Derek Chauvin’s release [ 32:25 ], debating whether provocative culture-war issues are being used to energize political audiences while larger policy concerns receive less attention. From there, they redirect the conversation toward what they consider the “real issues” affecting everyday life, including healthcare, education, voting rights, employment, government services, and the rising cost of travel [ 35:33]. The crew identifies three policy areas they believe deserve greater public attention [ 42:26 ] before examining the economics of the American healthcare system and the tension between patient care and profit [ 50:27 ]. Naturally, Selective Ignorance finds room for one last detour—the timeless ranch versus blue cheese debate [ 53:16 ]—before wrapping the bonus episode with final thoughts and credits [ 55:29 ].

Episode 111: Hit-Boy is one of the biggest producers in modern day music. He's produced some of the biggest songs for Kanye West, Jay-Z, Nas, Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, Drake, Travis Scott, Big Sean and Nipsey Hussle. He's a 3x Grammy winner. He gave Jay-Z the first diamond record of his career, off a beat that six artists turned down before it ever got to him. This Hit-Boy interview is different than the others he's done. We go deep into the craft, how the beats actually get made, cut, released, and paid! Why he's numbered every single beat he's made since 2006, and what happened to the 1,600 nobody picked. We got into all of it. Making "Backseat Freestyle" for Ciara before Kendrick ever heard it. Producing a #1 country record for Beyoncé. Being flat broke in 2017 with a future #1 already sitting on his hard drive. Getting free after 18 years and putting his new album out himself, on his own site, with no label and no DSPs. He also still makes everything in FL Studio, the same program he started on at 15 years old in Fontana, California. He's one of the most important producers of the last 15 years and he's still working like he has something to prove. His biggest days are still ahead of him. This one's for anybody who makes music in the modern world, especially hip hop and pop. I hope you enjoy my interview with the legendary, Hit-Boy! Huge thanks to our friends at DistroKid!

On this episode of the MalloryBros. Podcast, they kick things off with the drama around The Game and Kendrick Lamar that's been brewing over the weekend after The Game seemingly takes multiple shots sprinkled with love. The Bros discuss if a "Game VS Kendrick" Battle would even happen and that pushes the conversation to WHO CAN GET KENDRICKS ATTENTION? Terrance doesn't believe Kendrick will see a valuable enough opponent in anyone while Terrell remains optimistic. They both speak about Kendricks nickname the "Boogeyman" and what that name means TODAY. Next the Bros talk IN SHORT about Dr. Dre's AI comments that sent a shock through the music industry from the iconic producer and that leads to a conversation on LA HAT CULTURE after a 19 year old kid lost his life supposedly over a his hat. This turns to a conversation about the last realization of a street guy. The realization that it only ends 2 ways. Next they talk about Inde Naverette's choice to turn down Heat 2 and a 2 and half million dollar HORROR role to do a MARVEL role, and the Cleveland Browns name Deshaun Watson QB1 which means the Browns might actually HATE Shedeur Sanders. Lastly, they talk about Tank Davis/Devin Haney situation and how disrespect has reached new heights. Follow Us on Twitter @MalloryBros9 for all updates!

What if modern hip-hop united for social change the way it did in 1989? In this episode of Hip Hop What Ifs, host A and 12 Kyle are joined by hip-hop legend D-Nice to recount the history and cultural weight of anti-violence anthems. The crew also examines the West Coast's 1990 response, "We're All in the Same Gang," and explores why modern hip-hop struggles to produce similar unity projects today. From record label economic incentives that monetize violence to industry fragmentation, ego, and shorter song trends, we examine what it would take for figureheads like Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, or Kanye West to rally the culture once again.

New York summertime in all of its glory. New York City has had an epic few months. From clinching a milestone NBA Championship title, to Mayor Mamdani rolling out affordable housing and fixing potholes, to World Cup fever, the summer of 2026 has (for the most part) been a rush of pure elation for residents. Soundtracking it all is Public Service. Even if there's no special occasion, the atmosphere is always electric. Multiple dance cyphers form; musicians bring instruments to jam; free pizza is distributed; informal marketplaces emerge in the back. Public Service is a living tapestry of block party culture, serving as a reminder that church-like communal joy doesn't need four walls or a roof. Toribio and Perez man the decks each time, dishing out heaters across Afro house, dembow, cumbia, electro, hip-hop and techno. It might be the city's only DIY party where you can hear Jackmaster, Kendrick Lamar and Willie Colón in a single hour or see kids, aunties and grandfathers in the crowd. RA.1053 is a recording of this year's season opener in May—its vibrant blends and carnival-like mood will likely have more than a few listeners planning trips to experience the magic. Taking place in Brooklyn parks during the summer and clubs during cold weather, the party has also held editions in Detroit, Miami and Montréal. Sound is powered by hot pink speaker stacks, decorated with flower garlands, courtesy of Karlala Soundsystem whose founder Karl Scholz regularly provides rentals for free or at a sliding scale to cultural organisers. A true labour of love, the gathering relies on donations to fund operating costs and city permits. Based on the ever-expanding number of regulars, fuelled by word-of-mouth recommendations, it's only a matter of time before Public Service becomes a global phenomenon.

Rapper Tupac Shakur is one of the most influential music artists ever - with musicians such as Kendrick Lamar, Justin Bieber and Drake citing him as a major inspiration. His career was cut short in 1996 when he was killed in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas - but now, nearly three decades later, a man is going on trial, accused of his murder. He's called Duane "Keffe D" Davis - he has pled not guilty and denies all allegations.So, what we can expect from the trial? And how is Tupac's music continuing to influence hip-hop, decades after his murder?We speak to culture journalist Ivie Ani, who's based in New York, to learn more about the impact Tupac has had on music today. We also hear from Tupac fans that have discovered his legacy in the years since his death - and from Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty, host of the BBC's Fame Under Fire podcast. She is in Las Vegas covering the rapper's murder trial.You can follow the trial by listening to the Fame Under Fire podcast here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0030zm4Instagram: @bbcwhatintheworld Email: whatintheworld@bbc.co.uk WhatsApp: +44 330 12 33 22 6 Presenter: Hannah Gelbart Producers: William Lee Adams, Chelsea Coates and Emma-Louise Amanshia Editors: Verity Wilde

We also react to Drake warning his rivals that his "pen isn't dry," debating if his constant need for validation prevents him from establishing a fresh chapter.

Thxrsday is an emerging artist whose music turns overthinking, vulnerability, and real-life experiences into deeply personal storytelling. Born in Colorado and connected to Tennessee, his journey has helped shape an evolving sound influenced by artists like Kendrick Lamar, Juice WRLD, XXXTentacion, and The Weeknd—the latter even inspiring his artist name through the project Thursday. His new project, O V R T H I N K, captures the thoughts and emotions that can become difficult to express anywhere outside of music, with each song telling its own individual story. Rather than arranging the album chronologically, Thxrsday focused on how the records connected sonically, creating a listening experience built around feeling and atmosphere. The title track, “O V R T H I N K,” comes to life over a rock-inspired production from youngtaylor_, while the project also hints at Thxrsday's desire to continue experimenting beyond traditional genre boundaries, including exploring EDM. In this interview, he opens up about using music as therapy, the challenges of being vulnerable, the creative decisions behind O V R T H I N K, and how far he's willing to push his artistry in the next chapter.
Margo is joined by Kim Robinson, founder of 3pts and a longtime contributor to and advocate for creative communities. With more than 15 years of experience at cultural platforms including The FADER, Complex, Red Bull, and the American Museum of Natural History, Kim has worked alongside artists like Solange, Kendrick Lamar, Spike Lee, Erykah Badu, and Tyler, the Creator.

What if the most mythical unreleased album in music history actually dropped? In this episode of Hip Hop What Ifs, D and 12 Kyle (from the 12 Kyle Podcast) take a deep dive into Dr. Dre's legendary, shelved project, Detox. Announced around 2002 as Dre's final concept album and magnum opus, Detox became rap's ultimate urban legend before officially being shelved in 2015 in favor of Compton. We break down the timeline, leaked tracks like "Kush" and "I Need a Doctor," and iconic beats that were repurposed for other megastars—including 50 Cent's "In Da Club" and Kendrick Lamar's "The Recipe". Plus, we discuss how Detox could have re-established West Coast dominance, the ripple effect on artists like Rakim, Eve, and Stat Quo, Dre's studio perfectionism, and a debate on Jay-Z's discography.

Small Joys closes things out with DJ Sir Daniel's vinyl copy of Black Milk's Ceremonial, upcoming DJ sets at Stereo Atlanta and JB's Record Lounge, and Ode's read of Jessica Cage's Accidents Happen series.

Send in your music story!Somebody gets “killed off” by food poisoning, Florida delivers a hit and run story before breakfast, and then we do what we always do: turn the chaos into a music debate you can't stop listening to. While Chris is out, we run Round Two of our music bracket with the kind of honesty that makes brackets dangerous, because once you say a pick out loud you have to live with it.We dig into Ariana Grande's new album Petal and argue about what happens when production goes bold and psychedelic while the vocal choices stay safe. We talk about 70s coded pop, disco textures, and why an album can feel seamless yet still leave you unable to tell one song from another. We also touch on public scrutiny, celebrity image shifts, and why stepping back from appearances can feel like boundary setting or like a dramatic “end of an era” depending on who's listening.Then we jump back into pure bracket mode: hip hop matchups like Eminem vs Kendrick Lamar, Outkast vs Jay Z, and the moral and musical tension of ranking Kanye West's influence while refusing to endorse his behavior. Modern pop brings the heat with Sabrina Carpenter, Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, and Harry Styles, and pop icons force the big questions about legacy with Michael Jackson, Prince, Whitney Houston, and more. We cap it all with a country finale powered by one undeniable truth: Friends In Low Places is basically a communal ritual.Hit play, pick a side, and then subscribe, share the episode, and leave a review so more music nerds can jump into the bracket with us.Support the showPlease give us a quick rate and review.

BioFilmmaker Meosha Bean interviews artist Thursday Bio Thxrsday is a hip hop artist born in Colorado and raised in Tennessee who uses music as a way to express his experiences, emotions, and perspective on life. Inspired by artists such as The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar, Juice WRLD, and XXXTentacion, Thxrsday blends hip hop with rock influences and a growing interest in exploring different genres. His artist name was inspired by The Weeknd's mixtape *Thursday*, a project that deeply resonated with him and influenced his creative journey. Through his music, Thxrsday embraces vulnerability and authenticity, turning real life experiences into songs that allow listeners to connect with their own emotions. His upcoming album *O V R T H I N K* features nine songs, each telling its own story while showcasing his versatility as an artist. The title track, “O V R T H I N K,” was inspired by a rock based guitar beat that encouraged him to open up and speak honestly through his music. For Thxrsday, creating music is a form of therapy and a way to share the parts of himself that are often difficult to express.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.
Send us Fan MailA $10 million bet sounds like fun until you hear what it's really saying. We break down the viral claim that the Las Vegas Aces could be beaten by a high school boys basketball team, why that “debate” keeps getting oxygen, and how it turns elite women's basketball into a shortcut for clicks. If you're a real WNBA fan, you already know how wild that framing is and we say it with our chest: put respect on the league and on A'ja Wilson.From there we get into the bigger WNBA conversation sports media keeps dodging. Is the face of the league the best player, or the player who brings the most attention? We go back and forth on A'ja Wilson versus Caitlin Clark, including how rivalries, race, and storylines shape what casual fans see. Then we zoom out to the NBA and ask a question that's harder than it sounds right now: who is the face of the league in 2026, and does being the best even matter for that title?We also switch gears into classic Mixed Vibes territory: podcasting as a hobby versus a hustle after hearing a take about “self-funded podcasts,” a quick argument about sunglasses indoors and the energy it gives off, plus a ranking of Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Big Sean, J. Cole, and Wale concerts with some painfully accurate fan stereotypes. We close with a raw story about heartbreak, bad decisions, and learning the hard way.If you rock with the pod, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a rating and review so more people can find us.
