Costarring Errick Greenlee & Marcus Robinson. Special guest appearance by Oroku Saki aka Thee Shredder.

As much as I've championed Jaÿ-Z over the years on this very podcast, Jaÿ is still human. Very human. Handsome Bane threw the pass to Marc Rob for us to draft Jaÿ-Z songs and albums that were Hov on his lesser days. Marc Rob formulated the categories. Me? All I did was show up and record. Sometimes it be like that. We al...

Although I was curious at first, I really have tried to take an anti-A.I. stance. As a creator, the idea that you can plug a prompt into a chat and get almost anything you desire is nuts (and a lot of it is stolen). Not to mention the water use just to run all of these bots.

But what if I told you that I stepped a little too far into the world of A.I. and while I haven't succumbed, I haven't exactly stopped either...

After that confe...

Costarring Errick Greenlee, Michael Lamerique & Marcus Robinson

On January 8, 2016, I released the first episode of Hyphen Nation. Recorded from the parking lot of a local Morgantown Kroger with a laptop and a headset mic, never did I dream that my little podcast would be at 200+ episodes and still active 10 years later but here we are!

To celebrate, I recruited the Brain Trust aka the Diamond Dogs Handsome Bane, Lam, and Marc Ro...

In this episode of THE BARACK OBAMA APPROVED WORLD'S GREATEST PODCAST, I go back to the movies. I was unfortunately unable to make the most recent episode of We Should Do This Again Sometime but I give you my draft picks anyway (but seriously, go listen to that episode first)! (7:39) I talk about the latest season of King Of The Hill (39:31), which then leads to some recommendations before I end with my rant about the cost of strea...

On today's pod, I talk about how nice my social media break was, Wiz Khalifa and Kush + Orange Juice 2, give WrestleMania XLI predictions, and talk about the comfort that Guy's Grocery Games brings me. When it's good, I'mma tell you. This one's good.

(Costarring Michael Lamerique, Marcus Robinson & Errick Greenlee)

Man, sometimes you need to hop on the phone and talk to the homies. So, for the last time on Skype (probably), I'm joined by Lam, Marc Rob, and Handsome Bane to simply cut up. Yeah, we talk about the Whitman Storm's basketball season. Yeah, apparently some of us don't like Superman. And yeah, Bret Hart stops by with jokes.

But sometimes you just need to hop on the ...

It's almost been 8 years but the results remain the same: When Thee Marc Rob and I get together in a room magic happens. I was going to do a solo episode breaking down my journey through creating my second album HYPHEN. But if you listened to 217., Marc Rob said pump your breaks homeboy! What follows is a delightful look at myself, told through the lens of one of my best friends. Thank you all for your support and as always, more t...

Costarring George "The Howitzer" Gerbo & Marcus "ShowinmadLov" Robinson! Special guest appearance by Handsome Bane!

This was long overdue. I call in George and Marc Rob to recap some things from 2024. Social media talk jumps into the election. We were in the trenches... Until Handsome Bane stopped by and broke up the sadness. The rest of this episode is a great conversation amongst friends catching up. Happy New Year!

Somehow, Hyphen Nation Returned.

I still don't like Rise of Skywalker.

  • The Bear
  • Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow
  • Favorite TV shows
  • Why the pod is back
  • Childish Gambino

There were some audio issues throughout the recording. I believe I have this fixed for the next episode.

On today's program, I share my excitement out my second album HYPHEN coming out on May 3rd. Then I try to make sense of the Kendrick/Drake/Ross/20v1 beef that's been running rampant in hip-hop. Then Kendrick dropped "Euphoria", so I had to come in at the end with my immediate reaction.

Sorry Offset, Takeoff is the Migos member who passed.

On today's program, my mind went everywhere. I talk about how I love sports but how I don't care about live sports but that I actually enjoyed live sports last weekend for the first time in a long time? I briefly touch on Johnny Manziel on Club Shay Shay, J. Cole, and the impending doom of the 2024 election. There's some advice in the middle. And then I sent a heartfelt shoutout to the story arc The Child Within from Spectacular Sp...

On today's program, I briefly discuss Diddy getting raided and the bridge collapse in Baltimore. Then, I ask why in the world I hate certain sports teams and players when I don't have any of the talent that they command at my fingertips. I share a hopefully helpful tip for this month's mental health check-in and I recommend Phineas & Ferb. And It's Dark And Hell Is Hot. I forgot that one.

On today's program, I say as little about 20/20 Experience Part 1 as possible. I ask you to remember the day Facebook went down. I shout out Craig Wilson and his book It's The Little Things. And it was the Jordan 8 Playoffs for me.

A mistaken movie time sees me exploring a non-dying mall in America. I review The Marvels (Spoiler: I loved it). And I spent more time in the grocery store talking than I did shopping.
