Day 1 Radio is starting 2019 with a show that will stick to your mind for a while. We have Morehouse professor Dr. David Wall Rice on to talk about his journey from rap magazine writer to cool ass professor. Then we are joined by #MuteRKelly co-founder Oronike Odeleye to get more insight on the attention surrounding the "Surviving R. Kelly" docuseries. This is definitely one you want to set aside and bookmark to listen to now, later and again. 1:00 Transition from journalist to educator -Dr. Rice talks about his journey from writing for rap magazine to teaching at Morehouse 5:00 Where is Black music journalism (and journalism in general) at now? -Dr. Rice's sigh before answering should let you know how he feels. But hear him out. This is also the only time you will hear "sycophantically" and "on his nuts" in the same sentence, ever. 8:20 Dr. Rice talks about teaching at his alma mater -Dr. Rice has been teaching at Morehouse longer than he actually went to school there. How cool is that? 9:30 Writing about the psychology of Black men -Dr. Rice breaks down how he got into writing about this often overlooked subject and why it's important to see Black people as "whole and healthy." 17:45 "I wanted to meet Rakim" -Dr. Rice opens up about what made him want to start writing and speaks on one of his published articles discussing the language of Hip-Hop. Keep listening and you'll learn what "identity orchestration" means too. 22:30 Can Hip-Hop be the most popular music genre and still be subgenre at the same time? -Yep. Listen to how Branden and Dr. Rice break it down. 24:30 GOOD ASS QUESTION ALERT! -How much is Black cultural currency worth right now? 27:00 Who is your favorite lyricist and rapper of all time? -There IS a difference. 33:00 Are HBCUs still relevant today? -You already know what a Morehouse alum and professor is going to say, but listen anyway to hear why HBCUs are safe spaces for Black folks. 36:10 What does teaching Black men bring to Dr. Rice's life? -Dr. Rice talks about what raising Black boys and teaching black men does for his life and work. 39:00 Welcome Oronike Odeleye to the show! -Oronike does a lot but she is also known for her part in co-founding the #MuteRKelly campaign. Listen as she talks about what prompted the campaign. 44:00 Getting into the criminality of R. Kelly. -R. Kelly was "acquitted" of criminal charges. Oronike talks about how people using that as a reason to keep supporting is problematic. 47:00 "The Elegance of White Supremacy" -Branden asks why does it take White society to call something bad to make Black folks upset. Realness ensues. 51:00 The Aftermath -Will any action be taken against R. Kelly after the "Surviving R. Kelly" documentary? Oronike says yes and points out what is already doing. 53:00 To the people who still listen to R. Kelly... -Oronike breaks down how listening to R. Kelly puts money in his pocket and makes them complacent in his behavior. 57:40 Normalizing and Rationalizing -Branden speaks on why some people think it is ok for adults to sleep with underage boys and girls after generations of unaddressed psychological issues. 1:01 "It's a Heavy thing to watch." -Oronike talks about how it's hard, but necessary, for the R. Kelly documentary to be so graphic and the #MuteRKelly campaign to be so direct. Dr. Rice follows by asking how Oronike maintains doing this work.

What's good ya'll? This week, weighing heavy on my brain is the documentary #SurvivingRKelly. If you've seen it, or followed conversations on social media, you already know it's deep. I just share a few of the many things that came mind resulting from it. I'm also thinking about Instagram eavesdropping in on my conversations, the Black National Anthem, as well as redistribution of wealth.
