Marriage Without Love? Should We Throw The Culture Away? Independent Blueprint & Rap Beefs ft Dee 1

In this explosive episode of Black Out, we dive into some of the most controversial headlines and deep discussions shaping the culture today.
First up, we unpack the shocking revelation from Shaquille O'Neal's wife, who admits she never truly loved him. What does this mean for their public persona and private struggles? Next, we tackle a contentious statement from the New York governor, claiming black kids are unfamiliar with computers. We analyze the implications of this claim and the broader conversation about education and access in minority communities.
Finally, Dee 1 joins us to navigate through a myriad of topics impacting the world of hip hop and beyond. From the intricacies of rap beef and the need for lyrical reform to his unique "Proud to Pay" business model, Dee 1 shares his journey of transformation. He also delves into his experiences with Christian rap, his educational path at Harvard, and how he's reshaping his life and career with faith and purpose.
Don't miss this thought-provoking blend of controversy, culture, and change. Join the conversation and let us know where you stand on these critical issues.

    Probably unrelated, but there's no such thing as a perfect marriage or relationship; each is different. What works for one couple may not work for another. However, I've realized that there's always a way to resolve issues. Five years ago, my wife and I were on the brink of divorce because of marital difficulties, but we managed to reconcile.

    Your words hold significant weight, and I earnestly hope my feelings reflect yours. Despite our current separation, I cannot imagine my life without her; my affection for her is profound. I pine for her presence, and I'm ready to take any steps necessary to bring us back together. We've explored various paths, including therapy, in our pursuit of reconciliation.

    Parting with someone you love is always a challenging process, but in my experience, I had the guidance of a spiritual guide who prevented my marriage from collapsing. Her name is Suzanne Ann Walters.

    Great episode. Never heard of Dee-1 before but glad you guys had the foresight to bring him on. If I could make one suggestion to you all (EYL and Ian), you all are in spaces we will never be in and are building relationships with a lot of powerful and elite people, don’t lose yourselves, your morals and values to be in their circle. Like Dee-1, you have created your own circle, us. We will stand with you as long as your morals and values align with the collective. Money and acquaintances corrupt. Stay humble, strong and morally based. Your collective, us, can’t afford to lose you three. Y’all are too valuable. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

    It seems that Hip Hop culture first needs to be self-owned, starting with the fanbase. It was the act of music top management decision-makers that moved the genre from social awareness to social downgrade. Awareness isn't supported by industry moguls while downgrading the culture is. Change can happen only once upright awareness is what sells. That happens through the mindset, cultural ownership and preference of Hip Hop fans. When we prefer and demand other than ratchet by boycotting otherwise with our pocket books, it seems the output will improve.

    The way you change that mindset is starting them out young. Having conversations with children exposing them to the truth allowing them to see conversations like this. It’s not for children but children are adults in training people forget that. Children will still be children even if you’re exposing them to the truth but they don’t forget what they are taught and shown as children. As long as the environment you are providing allows them to be children and they are constantly reminded of their place and position they’ll be equipped to handle being an adult

    Unfortunately rap is overwhelmed with hate and violence. However in Dee-1’s case no one can hate his message. They can’t hate the message so they simply hate the messenger. Dee was on point when we said us as consumers will collectively have to demand a different brand of music. Sadly I don’t see that happening in the near future. The mass public is too thirsty for blood. They not really ready for peace and love.
