On the latest episode of 'Dear Culture,' @basseyworld and I talk about 'Poetic Justice' 30 years later. It's interesting watching these films (critically) with 2023 eyes! Listen here: pod.link/1506177020

A while back I had the opportunity to narrate an audio book, written by Scott Reynolds Nelson: 'Steel Drivin' Man-John Henry-The Untold Story of an American Legend' a story most of us kinda know, but not really. Check it out: linktr.ee/SteelDrivinMan

Why do so many criminals wear Black Air Force Ones? Tru’ish Black Stories returns to answer the age-old question.

I had a BALL talking to Panama Jackson for Dear Culture podcast on The Grio Black Podcast Network . You can hear our full conversation on @thegrio website, their app, or on @youtube

I'll tell y'all right now, I am on the stump to convince all Black people to go see The Blackening. I loved it. I will see it multiple times. I want all of African America to go see this for us, by us ass movie!

OPINION: The first single from Outkast, the legendary duo of Big Boi and André 3000, was a game-changer for all of us in the Dirty South.

It is a rite of passage, as a music head or just a general old head, to at some point proclaim about a song to anyone in your hearing younger than you, 'You don't know nothin' about this!'

For Day 2 of the #BlackMusicMonthChallenge , what song(s) don't they know nothin' bout?

. #Drake was just one of the many artists Panama Jackson & Touré couldn’t agree on! This #DearCulture is for all the hip-hop heads. The guys talk everyone from Nas & Jay-Z, to Lauryn Hill, Ice Cube & De La Soul.

OPINION: The five-part series ‘Dear Mama’ is, by far, the most insightful look into who Tupac was by centering his story around his mother, Afeni Shakur, and their relationship.
