Hood Intellectuals Podcast

It's been a little over 23 years since JAY-Z released his 4th album - Vol. 3... Life and Times of S. Carter. His song "Anything" which was originally featured on Beanie's album was included in the European version of Vol. 3 and follows a similar style to Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem). In this episode, I explore some of the bars from the 3rd verse. It definitely can be explored in much more depth but we all know how far that rabbit hole can go.    Share with your JAY-Z fan friends, we've all got one of those!   You can find the video version on YouTube if you prefer to watch rather than listen.  IG: @hood_intellectuals 

In this episode, we look into some of the bars from Nas’ “Once a Man, Twice a Child” off his latest album King’s Disease III. There’s a lot to unpack here, stay tuned for part 2.

Part of a mini-episode series I'll be releasing, in this episode we take a quick look at the concept of loyalty and what Rick Ross has to say about it on his track "Rich is Gangsta" off his album "Mastermind".

In this episode we look at some of JAY-Z's bars off his track "BLACK EFFECT" from his collaborative album with Beyonce titled "EVERYTHING IS LOVE". These are some of my favourite bars and writing about them/talking about them always gets me excited. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. 

Welcome to the Hood Intellectuals Podcast. In this episode, we take a brief look into some of the wisdom found in arguably one of J. Cole's best tracks - Love Yourz. Focusing on what's internal and not getting caught up in the hustle. @hood_intellectuals
