  • IAP C.L.I.P.S. | THE MIND OF A SAINT (Deluxe Edition) - First Reaction
    Salute to Skyzoo & The Other Guys for such a unique and brilliant album with the release of THE MIND OF A SAINT (Deluxe Edition). Sky & TOG’s seven new tracks conclude their audio-only rendition of FX’s popular series SNOWFALL - which spent 5 seasons centering on drug-trafficking mastermind Franklin Saint’s exploits in the Los Angeles drug game. Sky’s first-person performance as “Saint” underscores an unpopular aspect that, all along, was stealthily at the forefront of the storytelling: the expendability of people. This CLIPS episode is just my initial reaction to listening to TMoaS in its entirety, for the first time in several months - with the seven new tracks.

  • IAP C.L.I.P.S. | Take Shannon Sharpe’s Word For It! (Get Money UNK)
    I asked the question a few weeks ago: Does anyone know what the check from YouTube looks like for 50 million views of a 3-hour video? Welp, Shannon Sharpe and Night Cap co-host Chad Johnson gloat about Unk’s unbelievably large haul for his internet-breaking Katt Williams interview. The funny thing is, Katt (further) exposed the concept of “plants” and “installs” while joining Sharpe in his pot where his roots enjoy the richest of soil - and the purest of water…

  • IAP C.L.I.P.S. | Boxing is The Kingpin of Messy - Bill Haney vs Adrien Broner
    The best selling type of entertainment - year after year - seems to be anything that features Black men in conflict. With an upcoming pay-per-view boxing match between Junior Welterweight champion Devin Haney and challenger Ryan Garcia possibly in doubt due Garcia’s apparent mental health status, Haney’s father Bill and Adrien Broner explored a contingency plan on social media. It’s boxing so there’s no decorum in terms of negotiations…

  • IAP C.L.I.P.S. | The Black Zeitgeist in 2024 (Wave Battered & Bruised)
    Looking at Black people in the cyberspace daily, in particular Black men, we appear to just be “…tossed back and forth… blown here and there by every wind of teaching…” (Eph. 4: 14). Podcasts, sports debate shows and social media are just today’s weapons of mass destruction. Let’s talk about “gangbanging” (sorry, sincerely), Netflix’s RUSTIN, some boxing (high waves), and the highly-anticipated arrival of recent/past IAP guest Skyzoo’s THE MIND OF A SAINT (Deluxe Edition).

  • Killing MLK Again to Help Crown a New King in 2024

    So much more going on besides the latest and greatest in The Culture... Fearless podcast host Jason Whitlock and his guest, documentarian Vince Ellison, discussed all of Dr. Martin Luther King's sordid tales in 1950 & 60s America, but never go anywhere near former President Donald Trump's current dealings...


    Whitlock and Ellison assert that the King-led Civil Rights Act of 1964 is the highest form of evil because of his well-known adulterous behavior. Additionally, the legislation cleared the way for the takeover of the LGTBQ community, as well as the harmful rise of diversity, equity and inclusion over the past 20 years. The records of the Founding Fathers can't be impugned for any reason whatsoever. Their legislation did... wait a minute, didn't... well those laws said something about God granted rights.

  • The Culture’s Nasty Work (Stumbling Blocks - A Hip Hop Staple)
    Quickly, topics include The Charles Coleman Podcast addressed the messiness of Club Shay Shay, new entrepreneur Jadakiss passionately spitting about hustling on a recent feature with Benny the Butcher, what the Word (Rom. 14:13-23) urges us about ‘stumbling blocks’, and Christian rapper Dee-1 speaking of college as a means of options in response to Gillie da Kid… laying stumbling blocks for his listeners regarding the downside of higher education. Strangely, so many Black Americans seem to be more interested in dispelling any need for education, and want to bet on creating a livelihood from social media… or entertainment.

  • IAP Clips - Inequity (Thank Goodness For a Bit of Bad)
    Who knew the NBA All-Star Game and Harpo’s problem with Sophia had the same solution. No, I’m not advocating that Adam Silver take Celie advice to beat Bron, KD and Giannis. But, much like professional boxing, the NBA has an inequity problem - as in there’s just not enough of it present. Before you hurl insults, please, just hear me out. Because the NFL is ballin’, and it’s long lived up to its nickname “Not For Long.”

  • Saving Black America… During Super Bowl Week
    Award-winning sports journalist William C. Rhoden isn’t concerned with his Draft Kings or Fan Duel parleys, apparently. The Forty Million Dollar Slaves author descended on Super Bowl week in Las Vegas looking to assign Black NFL players to various social justice initiatives. Is this really the group of Black men we’re going to rely on for our leaders? If so, why?

About It's Always Personal

From the publisher's feed

I just got tired of the random redefining of what it is to be Black, or who's a real Black man. It's Always Personal is an attempt to expand on the most widely accepted examples, and stand alone…
