SWWP #41 - NBA Gambling Scandal / World Series, Lourve Update, Mamdani

Hey Everyone, We're back with another livestream. Just a reminder, this audio version is a cutdown of a livestream that I do Monday 8pm. We jump right in with the Wayno & Ray Daniels beef which escalated after Wayno signed with Charlamagne's Black Effect Network. The kids that were on the boat with Nolan Wells, the black teen that was found d*ad after a boat party, did a joint interview. I hate it - this has become a circus. Should the parents of Celeste and D4vid be held accountable? In music news, Is Birds In The Trap Sing Mcknight better than Astroworld? and Ye is back on tour and it looks incredible. Pivoting to film, go watch the 'Tony'. It's a glimpse into a young Anthony Bourdain's life. Now for the fun part: I lend some advice to a few people in the chat. Their questions lead to a great conversation. Tune in for all of this + more!

Welcome back to another fun one! I kick things off with my experience at a couple of J. Cole’s NYC shows and share a conversation I had with Cole himself. If you haven’t seen The Fall-Off Tour yet, I highly recommend grabbing a ticket. Then we get into the mess. First up: the Queen Naija dinner bill fiasco. She was out to dinner with two other couples when an argument broke out over who should pay. Of course, the entire thing ended up playing out on livestream. And just when you thought the mess couldn’t get messier, we get into the WNBA. With former NBA players now declaring for the WNBA Draft, the conversation has quickly become about much more than basketball. The league finds itself at the center of a growing political divide. Tune in as I discuss all of these topics + more!

Sorry for the late upload! My YouTube was taking forever downloading the livestream from last night.

We are back with a fun livestream episode. I did a livestream last night and edited it for your audio experience We cover a ton of topics.

We finally made it through the heatwave, but Team USA couldn't make it through the Round of 16. I'm recording this immediately after the U.S.'s 4-1 loss to Belgium, breaking down what went wrong, what this tournament revealed about American soccer, and why the sport still struggles to compete with the nation's four major sports. From there, I shift to hip-hop and unpack Lil Wayne's disappointing tour before diving into a bigger conversation sparked by Jay-Z's latest exhibit. Why aren't more artists creating institutions that preserve and celebrate hip-hop culture? We need more spaces dedicated to its history. Finally, I dive into my latest obsession (and frustration): AI data centers. They are popping up in communities everywhere, even though almost nobody wants them nearby. Why are they expanding so rapidly and what can everyday people actually do about it? Tune in as I discuss all of this + more!
