Once upon a time, kinda long ago, computers were huge pieces of machinery that literally took up an entire wall.  Who would've thought that in a few short years that they would become pocket devices that pretty much control our lives.  Now A.I. is here and that means our culture now has to contend with technology too. How will this all pan out? We don't know but I'm sure we have questions.

Fish & chips is a delicious meal, loved by many. In slang speak, "fish" has been known to reference women and "chips" money. For this one, we're referencing the latter. We explore the dynamics of men, women & money and the varied levels of association between the three. Hope we don't get cancelled on this one!

"Who gave you permission to...BITE IT?" Great question! Once upon a time biting was a cardinal sin in HIP HOP culture. The worst thing you could do was sound, look or be like anyone else. Originality was king. At some point, everything changed. We're gonna talk about what happened...and why. C'mon y'all!

We've come to the conclusion of yet another fangtastic season of the Rhyme Animals Podcast. For this season's finale, we're getting into the exit. Is retirement a real thing in this thing called Hip Hop? Who really walks away from their creativity? Or is it that they walk away from the industries that manipulate & monetize their respective crafts? We're asking the questions & looking for the answers!

There's been an age-old discussion about art imitating life and vice versa. Some of music's greatest compositions are the result of some great tragedy. With rap music being born from the socio-economic hardships suffered by original people in the U.S., it's now a multibillion-dollar industry. Creatives are inspired by life to create the art that then inspires life.  What if the inspiration is tainted? How does that affect the art? We gon talk bout it!!! SPPPPRRRRRAAAAAAGGGGGG

From the beginning, we've been intentional about not using the R.A.P. as a core vehicle for self-promotion.  This platform was created to build community and focus on Hip Hop culture's effect on a global stage. We've also indicated that, as the Binkis Records Set, we've curated a 20 plus year legacy of music & brotherhood (if you don't know you should find out). This episode, we decided we'd share some of classic material from the vaults. Allow us to reintroduce (or introduce) you to The Bedroom Empires. FAAAAAANNNNNGGGGGG!

Control - the power to influence or direct people's behavior or the course of events
In it's inception Hip Hop was a way to vent frustrations & alleviate issues in a manner of our choosing through creative mediums. Once it became a corporate entity the culture's ability to say & do what it wants seems to know be controlled by those who "own" it from a financial standpoint. Where does that leave those in the culture who have not yet been bought or bought into the system? It's a lot of "you can't say that" going on & that's not what we represent. Let's talk bout this!
