This podcast is amazing, I love it, Dulcé is kickass and Josh is the cutest human alive. I actually laughed out loud at work too many times. "Sounds like a GED getting thrown down a hallway of a juvenile detention center" is just *chef's kiss* level humor.

On this topic, I think the best solution is a digesting everything moderation. In high school, all I listened to J. Cole, Nas, Eminem, Common, Tupac - majority conscious lyricists. Condemning trap and mainstream music as I felt it ruined the art of rap. As I grew up though, I started appreciating the balance club bangers bring. In fact it's within the trap music, gangster rap and club bangers where one gets a more complete picture as the variations of tones and speech just feels in the blanks conscious rap commonly misses. In all, there's no better side of hip-hop. Both sides are valuable in the betterment and development of the black diaspora.

Hold up, wait a minute, ok, I love this podcast! The chemistry between Dulce and Josh is amazing. I can see y'all in the office going at it. The topic was engaging and the humor was beautiful. The show was a socially conscience banger. Keep them comin' y'all, can't wait for the next one.

I agree that you hold onto the music you listened to as a teenager because you were mature enough to pay attention to the words of the songs. It also has to do with what your parents listened to around you as well. Marvin Gaye, Frankie Beverley and Maze, Luther Vandrouss, Prince and Michael Jackson (young and old) all had conscious and dance music. No one is just one way. Music is a way to express how you feel at that moment. As feelings change, so does the music you currently listen to IN THAT MOMENT!

I like caribbean club stuff & I'm into the caribbean vibes, but I can only do so much conscience reggae. I feel like conscience music of all genres is the favorite of people who can't dance. Dancing people like dance music. Carnival is my celebration and coming together with my fam. I'm way out where I don't really know what mainland music is popular or why. Its almost nice to be oblivious to plenty of the popular artists of the major and minor cultures on the mainland. I support unions everywhere. The best way to get power to the people is by democratizing the workplace by unionizing so that every worker can have a say and representation in their worklife.

@BethBruch 2 жыл бұрын

2 things 1) thanks for shouting out unions and building workplace power as key to democratization. 2) I feel both seen and called out by your observation that conscious music is for people who can't dance :-)

Despite my extroverted nature I don't always go to parties and stuff

I prefer bops because I generally barely care about the lyrics. As for fame, you can be name-famous or face-famous, and they don't necessarily go together. Loretta Devine is face-famous (and Black-famous).

I love her opinion on Kendrick that's hilarious. You think I would be offended but I'm actually not because even when he goes high-pitched yeah that does kind of sound like something you'd hear from a puppet. But he just does it in such a way that it's not really something you can't take seriously though. So I would have rolled with that in Josh's position like okay I see what you mean but at least he makes you take what he's saying seriously even in that different voice and registers
