In this episode of No Ceilings, Glasses Malone and the crew dive deep into the culture of HBCUs, the transition from education to street life, and the moral crossroads that shape identity and community. Through candid reflections on personal choices, violence, and redemption, Glasses explores the often-overlooked connection between ambition, environment, and survival.
The conversation broadens into an in-depth examination of hip-hop’s evolution—tracing its shift from musicality and message to marketing and mimicry. Glasses reflects on his own financial journey, the stigmas tied to gang culture, and how those experiences influenced his pursuit of education and artistry. The crew analyzes the role of producers in shaping modern hip-hop, the extractive nature of the industry, and the impact of cultural appropriation on authenticity.
