Words Matter Pod w/ Akil Pinnock is back and better! Last month we interviewed then, Senior Reporter for Law & Crime News Meghann Cuniff. In a time where anything uploaded online can be perceived labeled as news, Cuniff's fair and unbiased coverage of the The People of the State of California vs. Daystar Peterson, a.k.a. Tory Lanez made her a viral star, affectionately earning the moniker, "Meghann thee Reporter." In this episode, we discussed the importance of minimizing harm when putting out stories, false narratives surrounding the trial, reporting accurate information and embracing new journalistic mediums.

In part two, Dr. Holt speaks about the Memphis sound of Three 6 Mafia and Miami Bass being the forefathers of Crunk, Atlanta’s local Bass artists becoming local celebrities, how Atlanta’s version of Bass turned into Crunk, Lil Jon being the face of Crunk, Atlanta’s wealth gap, Kendrick Lamar’s last verse on “Not Like Us,” and so much more.

1:00:42

We got another two parter and it’s very nerdy! Today’s guest is Dr. Kevin C. Holt, Assistant Professor of Critical Music Studies at SUNY Stony Brook University, one of three of Harvard Universities 2024-2025 Nasir Jones Hip-Hop Fellows, and author of I Bet You Won’t Get Crunk! The Performative Resistance of Atlanta Hip-Hop Party Music . In part one of this interview, Dr. Holt and I speak about the enormity of a Harvard fellowship being named after Nas, the elitist nature of Hip-Hop analysis in academia, Crunk as a resistance to the status quo, it's connection to Freaknik, and Hip-Hop helping change the perception of the south. After listening to this podcast you can see why Dr. Holt is who he is. Not many can make the connections he makes to understand the things you may consume passively on a daily basis. He’s a wealth of knowledge and I hope that whoever listened or watched part one of the interview can leave with a different perspective on what we’ve discussed, specifically Crunk music, it’s origins and what it represented. If you enjoyed part one of this interview, then you’ll enjoy part two next week. Please LIKE, COMMENT, AND SUBSCRIBE!

Today’s guest is Brian ‘Z’ Zisook. Co-founder and Senior Vice President of Global Operations and head of Artist and Label Services at Audiomack, an artist first music streaming platform that allows artists to upload music and fans to stream and download songs. He is also one of the founders of DJ Booth, a mixtape hosting streaming service and later, an industry leader in music journalism that entered into a content partnership with Audiomack in 2020. Z and I discussed the platform he’s created for himself on X (formerly known as Twitter) as a beacon of music business education, being a true advocate for artists and attributing that to why he’s never wanted to start a label, what his intentions were when creating Audiomack, carrying yourself with integrity as a white person in Hip-Hop, fans focusing heavily on sales and accolades, and more.

1:11:03

In part two, Dr. Boyd and I discuss the complicated legacy of Sylvia Robinson, founder of Sugarhill Records and if The Sugarhill Gang are “industry plants,” the kinship between hip-hop and jazz and why ultimately, hip-hop will be heard in the same prestigious cultural venues as jazz music. He also spoke on why MCing and DJing are the only elements of Hip-Hop that can be commodified, lyrics being used to incriminate rappers, hip-hop being aspirational, why people should read Rappers Deluxe, and much more.

Ep. 38: Pt. I | How Hip-Hop Made the World w/ Dr. Todd Boyd 1:12:49

1:12:49

Today’s guest is none other than The Notorious PhD, Dr. Todd Boyd. Outside of his informative cultural commentary on basically every documentary ever made, Dr. Boyd has been a tenured professor in The University of Southern California's Cinematic Arts department for over 30 years. He’s written various articles and essay’s, co-wrote and produced 1999’s cult-classic, The Wood, and is the author of eight books, including his most recent offering, Rappers Deluxe: How Hip Hop Made The World. In part one of this two part interview, Dr. Boyd revealed that his inspiration for wanting to earn his PhD didn’t come from other PhD’s, but ironically from being a fan of how sportscasters spoke with respect about basketball Hall of Famer, Julius “Dr. J” Erving, during a time when Black men were commonly demeaned in the media. Dr. Boyd couldn’t play like Dr. J, but that led to him eventually earning that respect years down the line, after earning a PhD. Dr. Boyd spoke about how he’s subconsciously been writing this book since he was 9 years old and how his lifelong love of sports, film, television, politics, music, magazines and overall culture laid the foundation of everything he’s done in his professional career. Later in college, Dr. Boyd realized that he could make a living intellectualizing all the media he consumed. He later spoke about how rhyming has always been apart of Black culture even before hip-hop, being a pioneer in collegiate hip-hop education, the performative nature of his teaching style, how hip-hop made the world, people critiquing materialism in hip-hop, and people falling victim to their own nostalgia. I know everyone will enjoy Dr. Boyd’s candor, humor and knowledge as I did but it doesn’t stop there. Look out for part two next week. Please LIKE, COMMENT & SUBSCRIBE. Words Matter.

For the second time, we have Blvk H3ro. By the time this episode is released, H3ro will be on tour for his debut album, On A Mission, so I was happy he was able to sit down with Words Matter Pod before he got super busy on the road. In this week’s episode, we spoke about what it feels like to release your debut album, his music reflecting his personal growth, bridging the gap between the younger and older generation of reggae artists, the significance of the Grammy’s to Jamaicans and so much more. It’s Always good to sit down with H3ro and get his unique perspective. On A Mission out now on all DSP’s. Words Matter.

This week we have licensed psychotherapist, public speaker, podcaster, stand-up comic and author of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy with Clients Managing Trauma, The Solution Focused Marriage: 5 Simple Habits That Will Bring Out the Best in Your Relationship, Solution Building in Couples Therapy, The Art of Solution Focused Therapy and the Solution Focused Brief Therapy Diamond, Elliott Connie. Connie spoke about his tough upbringing, being s*icidal as a child, normalizing psychotherapy in the Black community, children advocating for themselves, solution focused people vs. “woe is me” people, and of course, much more. I had a lot of insightful fun listening to Mr. Connie’s perspective. It’s a breath of fresh air to speak to a person with what some would consider unconventional ideas have the knowledge and credentials to back their theories. Much respect to Mr. Elliot Connie.

And we're back for part two. In the second and my favorite part of "The only thing constant is change," w/ film and tv editor Kristin Valentine. Valentine spoke about the intricacies of editing process as well as her favorite part of the process. She had a long list of editors she admires, she brought up a common but accurate cliché regarding editing being the final re-write of the script, and we spoke about arguably the biggest topic in Hollywood today, the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike and MUCH MORE.

Sorry for the hiatus y'all, but today's episode is worth the wait. We had the pleasure of interviewing film and television editor, Kristin Valentine. Hailing from Indianapolis, Indiana, Valentine spoke about being a mathematician by trade as a data analyst for the Department of Defense before moving to Los Angeles to pursue a career in Hollywood. In part one of this interview, we spent some time speaking on Valentine developing her love for film and TV from her parents, how it's possible for someone to be right and left-brained, the unexpected loss of a close friend who encouraged her to be in the film business pushing Valentine to enroll in a summer film class at USC, and much more!

Ep. 34 | "I'm here to create my own story" w/ Pusha Rod 1:30:42

2 years назад1:30:42

1:30:42

We’re back at CREATIVE SOUNDZ RECORDING STUDIOS, this time with owner, overall renaissance man, Grammy Award winner, Pusha Rod. Rod spoke about growing up on the East Side of South Central Los Angeles, but never allowing the negative stereotypes about his community define him, while also taking accountability for the roles he's played in his life. After spending so much of his youth involved in crime as a means of survival, Rod finally begun to embrace his artistic abilities when his friend and rapper YG gave him an ultimatum to change his life during his own ascent. Rod later leveraged his valued opinions in studio sessions with YG and Mustard as a self-proclaimed “professional homie,” into eventually becoming an A&R at Interscope Records and ended up managing his friend YG down the line. Later, we briefly spoke about Rod’s time at Interscope, finally receiving his Grammy in the mail for being a co-writer on Ella Mai’s 2018 hit Boo’d Up, what it means to be a hustler, what Rod learned from all of the different business ventures he’s been apart of and much more. Much love to Pusha Rod for allowing me into his place of business to conduct this interview and for being so transparent with me.

Carl LeGrett is Senior Director of A&R/Publishing at Create Music Group, an independent data-driven media and technology company, that focuses on transparency with its creators. Aside from his work of finding talent, LeGrett has uncovered millions of dollars in unclaimed royalties for Create's artists, a practice not often synonymous with traditional record label structure. Last week, I sat down with LeGrett at Create's offices in Hollywood, where we spoke about him falling in love with Hip-Hop production from watching Hoopmixtape basketball highlights, the "Type Beat" production world, the importance of finding artists unclaimed royalties as well so much more important music business jewels.

As promised, we’re back with Part. II of Rebel with a Cause w/ Grammy Award nominated reggae artist, Blvk H3ro. In the second and final part of this episode, H3ro speaks about what it means to be an independent reggae artist in this digital age, the Jamaican music business, non-Black artists making Black music, what it takes to be a professional musician, smoking a spliff with Sir Paul McCartney and so much more. I had a great time interviewing Blvk H3ro. It’s definitely one of my favorite interviews I’ve conducted thus far. He was insightful and I learned a lot from his perspective on music and specifically, the state of music in his native Jamaica. And I forgot, cause I didn’t do it last week, but I’d like to give a special shoutout to my sister Jendayi. My actual blood sister, for allowing me to use her crib for the interview.

In part 1 of the almost 2 and a half hour interview, Blvk H3ro speaks about his musical beginnings in church, leaving music as a teen to then come back to it in through an unlikely setting, the unglamorous parts of being a recording artist; having respect , and much more!

Last week we took a trip to Creative Soundz Recording studios in the heart of L.A. to speak to Brandon Brown, Vice President of A&R at Interscope Records. Brown, a native of Compton, CA, a city with a rich Hip-Hop history recalls seeing Eazy-E drive down the street, growing up a half a mile away from where Straight Outta Compton was recorded, and learning what an A&R was through the popular Hip-Hop magazines of the time. Later, Brown went into detail about what exactly an A&R is, the steps he took to become one and much more. Please RATE, COMMENT, & SUBSCRIBE. Words Matter!
