My Mic Sounds Nice

The Derek Chauvin verdict is in, but the trial brought on a rollercoaster of emotions; in this episode, we discuss our fears and concerns and what bothered us during the trial. Also, in an unprecedented fashion, voting rights are under attack across the nation - MMSN weighs in on the issue and has a special message for urban barbershops across the land. Finally, black male health is always an issue, so in response, the MMSN trio is getting in shape! Join us on our fitness journey - whether that means the equally inspired pick up the challenge and work out with us or couch surfers finding amusement in our efforts; either way, we welcome one and all to follow our fitness quest. 

The Derek Chauvin Trial is over. However, even with almost 10 minutes of compelling  video evidence, the verdict had remained in doubt. Join MMSN as the fellas share their feelings pre and post-Chauvin's verdict. Finally, we x-ray the current state of policing and, most importantly: Where do we go from here!?

Sorry for the delayed episode - But the DMX loss had to be addressed first. However, MMSN is back to our regularly scheduled program! On the agenda for this show- We get deep into Hip Hop and the GRAMMYs! We discuss political Covid-19 vaccine reluctancy and delve into Candice Owen's aversion to WAP. 

The men of MMSN gather to pay homage and discuss the career and life of Earl Simmons a.k.a Dark Man X.  We celebrate his music and films, and also touch on the  hardships he faced throughout  his life. We talk addiction, faith, manhood and music as we salute the life of DMX! 

The merry men of MMSN take a trip back to Zamunda and share with the world our thoughts on the recent Coming 2 America sequel and its social and cultural relevance. We also examine the significance, if any, of the recent passing of the George Floyd Justice in Policing reform bill in the House of Representatives. And Historically Black Colleges and Universities are all the rage again; My Mic Sounds Nice celebrates the recent black college love but contemplates if HBCU'S are just the latest flavor of the month - or has permanent black college respectability arrived. 

The MMSN crew examines what it means to be shut down/canceled in America. We take a deep dive into the life of Fred Hampton and the film Judas And the Messiah. We also explore what it means to be canceled in 2021. We x-ray the social media-fuelled rise in cancel culture, its fairness, and is the societal change effective, while also considering is there a path back for the canceled among us? And finally, we revisit everyone's drunk uncle who won't go home - Covid-19. Will the vaccines shut down the spread or further shut out the disenfranchised. MMSN lets you know where we stand and how our feelings have evolved since our last rona' discussion. 

Impacted by it in the '80s and impressed in 2021 by Stanley Nelson's brilliant documentary Crack: Cocaine, Corruption & Conspiracy, MMSN discusses the societal impact of crack and its continued legacy of destruction. On a lighter note, the brothers debate Complex magazine's hip hop list of the best in the game - year by year, starting from 1979 to the present. And finally, the fellas reminisce on their marriage proposals and share some advice for those contemplating the big step.

The Brothers of MMSN prove they should stick to their day jobs, as the three of them make Super Bowl predictions and only one proves any familial relations to Nostradamus.  Tune in on Tuesday February 16th as a new full episode drops!

Back in the booth, the brothers of  My Mic Sounds Nice pay homage to the life of home run king and distinguished gentleman Hank Aaron.  We lament the recent lack of black coaching hires in the NFL, and search for permanent answers beyond current measures. The fellas share their thoughts on Regina King's masterful One Night in Miami,  and conduct an autopsy on the Trump presidency.

In this episode, the brothers of My Mic Sounds Nice break down the unlikely beef between Snoop Dogg and Eminem. And with the help of Spotify's Wrapped 2020, analyze what music and podcasts dominated MMSN eardrums last year. Finally, the fellas introduce a new show segment called The Robinson Report - it's origins and importance, and have a little fun breaking down Playboi Cardi's Whole Lotta Red dominance on Billboard.
