Ep 003 - Justin Hunte / The Company Man *This Week*

Trying to inject some different convo into the culture. A lot of times I listen to podcasts and wish they would pull on some different threads outside of the standard origin story/how'd you make this album convo. So I made a podcast for the random musings.... hopefully you can check it out/subscribe

Kidz In The Hall epsiode... where the hell has Naledge been?

let's find out.. this was a fun one

They are all good but the one with Naledge hit close to home. My wife is on a similar trajectory and is planning on getting her doctorate as well. Gave me a deeper understanding and greater appreciation for what it is she is going through. We're in totally different fields so I didn't understand what she was doing to navigate.
I get it now.

Yea I watched my brother go through it and now Naledge.... it has been eye opening to say the least but I appreciate what Naledge is trying to do re: hip hop in academia

i like the idea of diff't content instead of origins and how this or that

thanks!

Talk a bit about Hip Hop and its Diaspora vs AA origins... interesting in context of ADOS convo on front page...

also chop it up about History of Hip Hop being retold to the youth through the casual white gaze and how a lot of nuance and context is lost on the young...

bunch of other shit too

I wanted to be a journalist in my younger years, and that's what my undergraduate degree is in - so I understand where he's coming from as far as the research aspect and establishment of full, linear, substantiated timelines when it comes to reporting on hip-hop and understanding its context in 2019.

However, what I think it has and still suffers from is two fold and brings us where we are:

1. Hip-hop was never expected to survive. It was thought of as a fad - even by black radio and media outlets who should have been the torchbearers, so there was no concerted effort to say "Hey, let's preserve this. We might need it later." History was being made right under people's noses, and they thought it might have been cool for the moment, but ultimately disposable.

2. Because of that supposed disposable nature, it was commoditized quickly and it the thought was "How much can we get out of it quickly?" of course, there was an era of thoughtful journalism/varied musical lanes as Dart mentions, but outlets like MTV, BET, and now moving to blogs and the internet era haven't been able to strike a balance between making money and providing quality, contextual content. Or maybe it's something the market at large (especially now) just isn't looking for.

Either way, great episode. I've been listening since you introduced it. Looking forward to more.

Although that is true from early on there were some people in academia and even outside (Krs) trying to chronicle it. When I was at Upenn a professor named Doc Perkins tried to initiate a Hip Hop Library. Not sure what happened but we DO now have one at Harvard that Nas, 9th, Lupe and 15 all have relationships with. From what I see the current problem is that there is not someone there (like Dart) to do the meticulous dirty work of just archiving EVERYTHING.

It is crazy to me that Viacom doesn't have easily accessed archives for MTV & BET but I am sure tapes are somewhere.
