My Mic Sounds Nice

My Mic Sounds Nice takes a saddened journey examining and even attending the Jam Master Jay murder trial. And after seeing some of it play out before our eyes, we share our thoughts from an up close and personal perspective. Also, Club Shay Shay has broken the internet. It also has pitted some of the black communities greatest artists against each other. Without, getting in the mud, and wallowing in the salacious nature of things, we examine what has happened and why, and ultimately has it been benefical or harmful to us all. 

My Mic Sounds Nice has a banger this week! We dig into Nikki Haley and her unique ideas on American history. We examine her thoughts and share ours! Then we really have some fun, as we discuss Drake and Mos Def. Was Mos right? Is Drake hip-hop, is he pop, or is he somewhere in between? MMSN gets into it, and let's just say we definitely disagree! So join us for a fun, spirited show on issues close to our hearts! 

My Mic Sounds Nice is back with an episode about all the things that can't  be discussed! Why is nuance discussion  lost to our public discourse when it is most needed? The brothers investigate.  Also, we discuss creativity and age.  Andre 3000 felt he didn't have anything to say as a rapper of "a certain age."  We  discuss the validity  of hip hop as only youth culture. Is this correct?   Are there examples that prove this thinking is incorrect? We explore.

• My Mic Sounds Nice is back! The crew celebrates the 30th anniversary of three seminal albums released in November 1993. Queen Latifah's Black Reign with the mega-hit U.N.I.T.Y, released 11/16/93, A Tribe Called Quest and their classic third album Midnight Marauders,  and the debut genius of The Wu-Tang Clan's Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) - both released on 11/9/93. We break down the genius of each project and celebrate the artistry of three unique projects.

• M.M.S.N. also takes a deep dive into the lives of centenarians and their secrets of living a long life. We analyze the tendencies of communities, all in hopes of capturing some ageless wonder pixie dust of our own. 

• It's season 3; we are back, ya'll! 

My Mic Sounds Nice celebrated hip hop, turning 50 on August 11th. Attending various shows, basketball games, and, as a highlight, returning to the Mecca - the birthplace of hip hop - 1520 Sedgwick Avenue, Bronx, NY, to attend a block party celebrating the 50-year anniversary. We got stories! Tune in to hear our thoughts on the shows, the block party, and what turning 50 means for hip-hop!

This week My Mic Sounds Nice discusses Jay Z vs. Artificial Intelligence and the Tennesee legislative body vs. the constituents! Computers are out in these streets impersonating stars. What's an artist to do? My Mic Sounds Nice knows.

Looking for Republican racism? Well, as Arrested Development said, "he guided me to Tennessee." And there we found two brothers removed against their constituent's wishes. What part of the game is that? MMSN investigates.

It Takes A Nation of Millions vs. Illmatic vs. Black On Both Sides! If you could only own one? Which would you keep/ If you had to borrow or destroy one of the remaining classics, what would you do? What could you live without? 

Well, MMSN weighed in, and some of our choices will surprise you! You might agree or think we are just nuts! Either way, check out what we said and let us know what options you would make!

Two black QBs in the Super Bowl for the very first time. Have we finally crossed to a true meritocracy, or does black QB bias still live in the NFL? We discuss, debate and direct the situation.

And NBA YoungBoy has  a change of hearty on his violent lyrics. Is it cap, is it real, does it even matter, or can his words impact his HUGE following, MMSN explores.

Here we are once again! Sadly, MMSN is forced to deal with another police brutality tragedy. In Memphis the tragic and brutal murder of Tyre Nichols mere feet from his home compelled us to bare our hearts, voice our frustrations, thoughts, and ideas on what this all means  - and what should we do about it. 

Deion Sanders left, Brittney Griner came home, and the holidays are here! This season is a time for joy, sadness, and reflection, and MMSN is here for it all!

While the holidays are typically a celebration, they can also be a time of sorrow and depression. We jump in on the duality of the holidays and how to handle the tough times and the good. We examine whether Deion left Jackson State too soon. And question why Brittney Griner's release was a divisive issue for some. We break it all down in the latest episode, Who Won the Trade?
