Show #225 - Shake up the World
SO many things have happened lately world and industry-wide letting you know that FINALLY someone is paying attention to what's goin' on! Quaker Oats are moving forward to remove the name and image of 'Aunt Jemima.' The image is of a former slave, Nancy Green, who worked for the company. The company has profited from her image for more than a century. Quaker removed the "mammy" kerchief from the character years ago but now they have stated that removing the image and name is part of an effort by the company "to make progress toward racial equality." Aunt Jemima is owned by PepsiCo. Super producer Pharell Williams stood alongside Virginia governor Ralph Northam this week to declare Juneteenth as an official state holiday. "From this moment on, when you look at the vastness of the night sky, and you see those stars moving up there, know that those stars are our African ancestors dancing," Williams said. "They're dancing in celebration because their lives are finally being acknowledged." Juneteenth is a celebration of the end of slavery in America. Many are snubbing July 4th and are gearing up to celebrate their first Juneteenth this year. Rappers Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj are preparing to hit the studio to work on a joint album. The stars confirmed the news during the latest episode of Wayne's Young Money Radio when he invited his protegee on-air as a guest to promote "Trollz," her new single with fellow MC Tekashi 6ix9ine. This has been a LONGTIME coming! It indeed is what the Hip-Hop community felt when they not only saw that former G-Unit rapper Young Buck filed for bankruptcy claiming that he only had about $100 to his name. Last month, it was reported that the rapper had filed for bankruptcy for the second time in January getting locked up in a Cheatham County Jail in December for child abandonment. You can't make this up! He allegedly made about $100,000 over the last three years. Still, Uncle Sam is scratching at his door for $415,892.04 for back texas accumulated over half a decade (2014 – 2019). One of Buck’s for “G-Unit” members, “The Game” has since revealed he’s donated $1,000 to Buck’s Cash App. For the "HOT TAKE" topic this week the crew discussed 'relationship moments that change big time 1 to 5 years in?" Drop a comment on your thoughts!
