The Simply King Podcast

This week I have on my most featured and favorite guest Vei, poet/artist/creative. We always come together to make something that we know people need to hear. The topic at hand is discipline and speaking to how we treat ourselves positively and negatively. I believe we all are on a journey that we feel extremely compelled to complete even when the outcome is unknown. Vei mentions the Pluto/Saturn conjunction here are several links below for further research.

This week I spoke on the impact of biopic films centering black public figures. This episode was inspired about the release and controversy around "Harriet" staring Cynthia Erivo. I give why I'm passing on the film as well as best and worst examples that have made us laugh, cry, and cringe. The question or call of action is, Does a person being alive improve the quality of their biopic?

This week I speak towards which I plan to be the last time I speak on this man but Kanye has took over the news yet again and I express what I feel about his publicized religious journey and how many aspects of Kanye's public persona is extremely polarizing and worth many different critiques. In addition to praising two great works on their display of historical blackness the HBO Watchmen's opening reenactment of the Tulsa Massacre and Eddie Murphy's commencement of his come back with "Dolemite is my Name". I'm ready to debate on this Kanye stance so come at me and enjoy
