Metta World Peace, formerly known as Ron Artest, reflects on his Queensbridge roots, being inspired by Nas, and his challenging journey in basketball. Metta opens up about past issues, including his struggles with alcohol and the infamous Malice at the Palace, and shares how these experiences shaped his unpredictable behavior. Now, a more mature and accountable individual, he discusses his aspirations to coach, his love for New York City basketball, and his perspective on the Knicks' current team, emphasizing the importance of winning in life and on the court.

BT and Sal intensely debate the significance of individual player records versus team success in baseball, particularly sparked by Pete Alonso's pursuit of the Mets' all-time home run record, with Sal favoring historical milestones and BT prioritizing championships due to the Mets' past futility. The discussion also shifts to a humorous and insightful segment with Metta World Peace (formerly Ron Artest), who candidly discusses his Queensbridge roots, past struggles, and strong desire to coach the New York Knicks, offering a unique perspective on professional sports contracts, team dynamics, and personal growth.

In a candid conversation with BT & Sal, Metta World Peace, formerly Ron Artest, passionately expressed his strong desire to become the next head coach of the New York Knicks. Highlighting his deep connection to New York basketball and his experience coaching a successful Division II women's team, Metta articulated a cerebral approach to the game, emphasizing defensive strategies and a focus on winning. He also openly addressed his past challenges, including his unpredictable behavior and issues with alcohol, conveying a sense of personal growth and accountability. Despite past rejections from coaching opportunities, he remains confident in his ability to lead an NBA team, particularly the Knicks, and aims to change perceptions through success and dedication.

What up Fellas! Die Lakers sind raus, deshalb stürzt sich Rewow auch am Tag der Arbeit in den Hussle, denn wir haben Unfinished Business! Letzte Woche haben wir bereits über die Hintergründe und die erste Hälfte von Nas' dritten Album "I Am..." aus dem Jahr 1999 gesprochen und das beenden wir heute. Zwischen der beliebten Lead-Single "Nas Is Like" und einem Feature mit dem zu dieser Zeit heißesten New Yorker Artist blickt Nas auch in der zweiten Albumhälfte auf inhaltlich tiefgründige Themen wie strukturelle Probleme in seiner Hood und fehlgeleitete Prinzipien und Antriebskräfte anderer Rapper. Neben seinen ideellen und beruflichen Ambitionen beschreibt Nas auch das Thema Liebe in mehreren Facetten. Eine durch die Realität zerstörte rosarote Brille, ein als personifizierte Partnerin dargestellter treuer Wegbegleiter, und ein emotional-introspektiver Storyteller sind hierbei nur ein paar Beispiele für die zweite Hälfte dieses Albums, welches sich lohnt gehört zu werden. Checkt gerne die neue Folge „Rap gehört zum guten Ton“ aus! Habt ein schönes Wochenende! Stay strapped und seid lieb zueinander!

What up Fellas! Nach dem Erfolg von "Illmatic" und "It Was Written" wollte Nas wieder liefern. Das Supergroup-Projekt "The Firm" floppte, obwohl man auf seinem vergangenen Solo-Album einen vielversprechenden Teaser für das Potenzial erhielt. Zudem folgte Kritik vom Label, die Nas dazu drängen wollten, ähnlich wie andere New Yorker Größen, kommerziellere Sounds mit einfließen zu lassen. Ab Ende 1998 arbeitete er an einem vielschichtigen Doppel-Album, welches durch strukturelle Problematiken so nie erschien, welche heute nicht mehr wegzudenken sind. Dennoch releaste Nas wie geplant im April 1999 sein drittes Solo-Album, welches nun den Titel "I Am..." trug. Heute sprechen wir über die erste Hälfte des Albums; über einen Ableger, welcher trotz seiner Qualität dem Original nicht das Wasser reichen kann; über die unverwechselbare Eigenschaft von Nas, Respekt, Harmonie und Trauer mit Credibility im Rap-Game zu kombinieren; und über Features, die in verschiedener Weise interessant zu diskutieren sind. Also checkt gerne die neue Folge ab! Checkt gerne die neue Folge „Rap gehört zum guten Ton“ aus! Habt ein schönes Wochenende! Stay strapped und seid lieb zueinander!

On this episode, we review the 2nd LP from Queens rapper Tragedy Khadafi, titled Tragedy: Saga Of A Hoodlum. Known at the time as The Intelligent Hoodlum, Tragedy stuck to his street roots and strong political beliefs, crafting a well-rounded album. K-Def, Marly Marl as well as a few others brought this album full circle with it's production. This album tends to be a forgotten gem as it gets lost in the shuffle of 1993, which was a heavy year for successful hip-hop music releases. https://www.tiktok.com/@brandonhetzel996?_t=8obIG7d85mg&_r=1 https://www.instagram.com/str8_the_clippa?igsh=cTBzNnFhenRkN3Nl&utm_source=qr https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100086006336425&mibextid=LQQJ4d

It's usually hard to pin down when a genre of music starts. But people point to this one party in August 1973 in the Bronx as the moment where hip-hop was born. That makes this year the 50th anniversary of hip-hop. In honor of that, I wanted to revisit an episode looking back at one of hip-hop's classic tracks: Shook Ones, Part II, by Mobb Deep. Here's the episode, originally recorded in June, 2020, when I spoke to Havoc from Mobb Deep: The rappers Prodigy and Havoc met when they were still in high school in New York. Havoc grew up in Queensbridge, the biggest public housing projects in the country, and as a teenager, Prodigy lived there for a while, too. The two of them formed Mobb Deep in 1991. In 1995, they put out their second album, The Infamous. It was a success when it came out, but in the 25 years since then, the influence of the album has only grown. Complex named it one of the 10 best rap albums of the 90s, and Pitchfork gave the album a rare perfect score, 10 out of 10. The Washington Post called it a “masterpiece” of hardcore rap, and in Slate, it was called one of the best albums of the ‘90s, and one of the best hip-hop albums ever made. Their biggest song from the album was “Shook Ones, Pt. II.” Havoc made the now-legendary beat that he and Prodigy rap over. To celebrate the 25th anniversary, Havoc told me the story of how the whole song came together. Prodigy passed away in 2017, from complications due to sickle-cell anemia, a debilitating disease he'd battled his entire life. But the legacy of Mobb Deep lives on.

Dem Vinyl Boyz are back diving straight into Nas' debut studio album "Illmatic". This album was released on April 19, 1994, by Columbia Records, produced by DJ Premier, Large Professor, Pete Rock, Q-Tip, L.E.S., and Nas himself. Nas, who was twenty years old when the album was released, focuses on depicting his own experiences, creating highly detailed first-person narratives that deconstruct the troubled life of an inner city teenager. Nas said in an interview in 2001: “When I made Illmatic I was a little kid in Queensbridge trapped in the ghetto. My soul was trapped in Queensbridge projects.” Styled as a hardcore hip hop album, “Illmatic” features internal rhymes and inner-city narratives based on Nas' experiences growing up in the Queensbridge Houses in Queens, New York City. In a 2012 interview, Nas explains what he wants the take away from his album to be, he says "I want you to know who I am: what the streets taste like, feel like, smell like. What the cops talk like, walk like, think like. What crackheads do — I wanted you to smell it, feel it. It was important to me that I told the story that way because I thought that it wouldn't be told if I didn't tell it." The album debuted at number 12 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 63,000 copies in its first week. However, its initial sales fell below expectations and its five singles failed to achieve significant chart success. Despite the album's low initial sales, “Illmatic” received rave reviews from most music critics, who praised its production and Nas' lyricism.

Nas is one of those names.So how did the Hidden Gems crew sneak a song by Nasir Jones onto their podcast? It's pretty simple really. Have you heard the song "Last Words" before? Probably not.

Rick Rubin has interviewed so many great artists over the years—including Andre 3000, Missy Elliott, and Neil Young. Today we will hear Rick's conversation with hip-hop legend, Nas. Nas dropped one of the most universally loved rap albums of all time in 1994 with Illmatic, and he remains one of the greatest MCs of all time. Few hip-hop artists have maintained relevance over decades based on their skill alone. Nas has never chased headlines or crossover success, instead focused on elevating his craft and the culture. And that dedication has paid off: King's Disease, Nas' 12th album, won Best Rap Album at the 2021 Grammys. In the preview you're about to hear, Rick Rubin talks to Nas about his earliest experiences with rap in the Queensbridge housing projects where he grew up, how recording King's Disease with Kanye West in Wyoming almost took him out of his zone, and how early beef with Jay-Z made them both stronger rappers.

In 1995, Queensbridge's finest — Nas and Mobb Deep — collabed with Raekwon to drop Eye for an Eye. The song is an exploration of a violent world, an oppressive place where people are forced to do what they can to survive: “I might crack a smile but ain't a damn thing funny, I'm caught up in the dirt where your hands get muddy.” Sadly, more than 25 years later, the lyrics still hold true. But now, in places like Buffalo, the threat isn't coming from the next block over. The threat is coming from the outside. The threat is driving hundreds of miles to target a community because of their race. The threat is real. The threat is growing. The threat is imminent. Your hosts Don Elivert and Jehriko Turner dig in deep. They explore the pain and reflect on how the only response most people can muster at this point is just to laugh at the irony. Gallows humor. But don't get it twisted. None of it is funny. Jokes mask the truth and sometimes — most times — that truth is fucking awful. But the answer isn't to look away. The answer is to confront it. To name it. To call it out and to hold people accountable. It's the most important thing we can do as individuals and it's the most important thing our allies can do, especially when we're not around. Especially when no one is looking. Change begins at home. And we need some damn change. Mass shootings are pure evil, but every single one of those people had people in their lives that never stepped up, never stepped in. Are you doing your part to help? Are you doing your part to stop the hatred? To stop it from spreading? We can all do better. We all have to do better.  And later in the pod, in true B Dorm fashion, they take the conversation where you don't expect. Space. Who comes with and who gets left back? It's a fun one and you will never guess who Don is taking with him and why. And who he isn't. That's what B Dorm is all about. A smart, fun, educated conversation that doesn't take itself too seriously. This is the B Dorm podcast.
