The calendar turned 21 (2:07) so we drinkin!!! You know how we get down when it’s a new year, 2020 reviews and 2021 predictions (6:00). We’ve already lost an icon in 2021 and we pay our respects to Cicely Tyson (42:50). The conversation takes a wild turn thanks to some troubling allegations coming out of Atlanta (47:08), but not all challenges are bad, despite what some fu** boys may have to say (54:25).

It’s been a long time but damn it, episode 100 of the Good Culture Podcast is here and we are officially in celebration mode! But just because we’re celebrating doesn’t necessarily mean the whole city should break out the champagne or the D’usse slushes for that matter (10:08). Twerk or not, everybody’s most confused mixtape artist dropped another tape and we still don’t know how to feel (28:08) , you tell us!

"Fuck you, Kenny"

November 24, 2020 19:00 - 52 minutes - 55.9 MB

The trap super bowl exceeded the hype (14:35). That was a wonderful evening for the culture and Jeezy even gave us an album (21:20) to match his mink and moving words. The long awaited “debut” album of Megan Thee Stallion finally dropped. Was it bad news on Good News (28:51)? It damn sure was on Kev Hart’s new Netflix comedy special (35:36). He’s Kev Hart until the elitist private school jokes go away. And on this week of family and thanks, we’re thankful for healing between Will and Dark Sk...

Questions for the Culture

May 27, 2020 15:00 - 1 hour - 100 MB

We were all out trying to make the best of MDW 2020: Pandemic Edition, minding our business, being black and excellent. Wunna (11:29) was providing the vibes for the most normal feeling weekend in what felt like a year. Grills were smoking, red cups were flowing. We were on pace to have a beautfiul weekend closed out by 112 vs. static, oops, Jagged Edge (17:24). The good life. And then Lana Del Ray had a question for the culture (29:15). We never recovered. Doja KKKat went under a sheet inst...

Mask Off

May 22, 2020 15:05 - 2 hours - 144 MB

We last got in the studio to record on March 9th, 2020. We had no idea Big Rona was about to fuck up our respective worlds. Y’all knew about some big changes that were coming for the Good Culture family, but in the quarantine (2:11), we’ve done more than sit on our asses. Syd’s been on her skin care queen shit, but it’s still hard out here for a single baddie godmother swearing off pandemic peen (10:30). Despite a virus kicking the rest of the world’s ass, it’s still not a bigger threat to ...

SOUTHERN COMFORT

March 10, 2020 15:58 - 1 hour - 75.8 MB

Megan Thee Stallion, Lil Uzi Vert and Jhene Aiko walk into a bar…..called Tate’s. They go into this bar on a Sunday at Noon. Megan feels right at home and even tells DJ Nitecrawler to play her new EP “Suga”. Lil Uzi does his best Young Thug impression and gets a couple tracks off of Eternal Atake put in the rotation. And Jhene is just a vibe wherever so she’s good too. Da Baby gets flewed in and he punches in as well, not into anyone’s face or anything so it’s all good. A white moderate got ...

“When To Say Queen”

March 03, 2020 17:43 - 76.5 MB

In this episode we discuss Lil Baby’s new album “My Turn” along with the Drake releases from the weekend. Meg got a little situation with her record label, but another queen is having to fight a battle as well. After we get through all that, the episode title will make sense.

CONTEXT

February 25, 2020 15:00 - 1 hour - 87.3 MB

Rollies over land, pussy ashes for sale, cancel all dog face bitches and selfish birds. We’ll put it all in context. RIP Pop Smoke

Duckets

February 04, 2020 18:17 - 103 MB

We weren’t quite gone off the rose’ daniels, but we were definitely preparing to leave. But a championship level podcast pushes through. We have an early contender for rap album of the year, one that should never have been released and some tough conversation about the business side of the industry. In the neighborhood talk portion of the podcast, it’s hot swirl summer with a chance for toxicity.

“Be sad. Be mad. Be frustrated. Scream. Cry. Sulk. When you wake up you will think it was just a nightmare only to realize it’s all too real. You will be angry and wish for the day back, the game back, THAT play back. But reality gives nothing back and nor should you.”

Salut.

January 21, 2020 19:23 - 101 MB

Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy ratchet flyer weekend good people!!! We been out here lifin’ but it’s time to feed the streets.

Who knew some resolutions, poor predictions and new predictions would get us to this ghetto ass place? Salut.

I'M UPSET

November 12, 2019 15:07 - 1 hour - 73.8 MB

We been busy. New nuptials, new balls, new babies. Life has been lifin’ but it was time to get back in the studio and do what we do best. In this episode we discuss the Facebook Chicken Sandwich and Kanye’s new album with the press run to match. TI is saying dumb shit again so he made the podcast too. Be sure to catch the end of this episode as major cloth talk happened in the shit talking portions of the episode.

WE'LL NAME THIS EPISODE LATER

October 01, 2019 14:13 - 59 minutes - 63.8 MB

It's our 80th episode. We can sit on the mothers' pew at church now. But instead of giving out old, crusty and half melted pieces of strawberry candies, we got some good podcasting for y'all. DaBaby dropped his album, 69 probably ratted us out by the time this drops and Fantasia did Fantasia stuff. Let's pray that justice is served for Botham Jean and RIP to Andre Emmett.

I Wouldn't Know A Thing

September 17, 2019 14:46 - 57.9 MB

Some very good dialogue from the REVOLT Summit led to some good podcasting in Oak Cliff, TX. We shared our thoughts and opinions on some of the topics from that vivid panel discussion. Next we got into Kanye’s album announcement and how we feel about it. Is it a cult or nah? Not to be outdone, Meg sealed her hot girl summer with a big boss move so we stanned a young queen real quick. Fellas, face it they won. And lastly we discuss how life’s a trip but Lyfe’s just trippin. Freaky ass boy. I...

Byke to Bool

August 26, 2019 14:42 - 97 MB

Culture Iz Here

July 15, 2019 15:08 - 63.2 MB

HOT BOY SUMMER

July 08, 2019 15:16 - 1 hour - 69.7 MB

Fresh off a holiday weekend, the scoreboard indicates that it is indeed a #HotBoySummer. The queens, in need of a regroup, did get outstanding performances from LaLa and Halle Bailey.

Big Baller Brand

Everybody byke, everybody sober. After a brief status update on the hot girl summer, two faithful black men join the baddie godmother in a discussion on Gucci Mane, Trina, Lil Nas X, Cardi B and Nicki Minaj.

It’s all love though, and it always should be.

GUMBO

Bangers & Brunch is officially a DDD holiday and The Southern Classic was a major success, but it’s time to get back on wax.

WHEN SHIT HITS HOME

March 25, 2019 14:56 - 67.3 MB

After a few quiet weeks in the culture, the gang pulled up in strong fashion to discuss some bullshit that hit very close to the homefront. While it was bigotry that brought us to the studio cave this week, we got in our bag on some more pressing issues. Your childhood may or may not be threatened, your favorite R&B artist from north of border decided to “bridge the gap” and your favorite rapper from the Carolina’s just got a makeover, let him live!

SOBRIETY METER

March 18, 2019 14:30 - 57.8 MB

The culture has been lowkey too quiet lately but we had some shit to talk. Syd was fresh off St. Patrick’s festivities. This episode is the result of those two facts.

2 Chainz punched in with a masterful project, Rap or Go To The League, and we weigh in with our thoughts and opinions. We also share our takes on Solange’s When I Get Home.

In our 65th episode, we recap the Grammys and review the winners, snubs and flat out misses. We also discuss the week in culture from TI dissing Floyd to Nicki dismissing BET.

21 QUESTION

February 11, 2019 15:01 - 1 hour - 86.7 MB

We try our damnedest to understand Savage the 21st’s legal troubles and weigh in with our opinions. White people are still cuttin’ up so our issues with Liam and Gucci get…taken…to wax. But not all hope is lost, Nicki rapped real bars, black banks step into the spotlight and black girls are creating dope art. Full disclosure this was recorded pre-Grammys.

US vs. them

February 04, 2019 15:04 - 1 hour - 79.7 MB

We cover a myriad of topics from stand up comedy to surprisingly good rap beefs. White folks gone white folks so we address some disturbing bullshit that didn’t have to be. But us gone us as well so we also discuss another cultural candidate and what that means moving forward. Kam also got his shots up lol.

UNUSUAL POLITICS

January 28, 2019 14:48 - 1 hour - 91.1 MB

We had a busy week in the culture loaded with music from some artists you already know and some you should get to know. We’re on bitchassness alert in LA and when you’re only 20, you can potentially ruin someone’s life all because you got drunk. But bullshit to the side, we try to gain some understanding of our potential Presidential candidate and how she may have a chance to affect positive change alongside Hov and Meek.

CULTUUUUURE?!?!!!

January 21, 2019 15:00 - 1 hour - 89.4 MB

The episode where we discuss Future’s album and his family issues?! The episode where we rationalize Rae Sremmurd’s break up?? The episode that’s named after Big Draco’s interview?!! Big booty women on boats and Big Mac’s??! CULTUUUURE?!?!!!

TRASHish

January 14, 2019 15:00 - 1 hour - 63.1 MB

So it turns out that there was some leftover trash from a particular R&B singer and new trash from some people connected to him. We even have to revisit the covering/lid war of 2018 because…..trash there too. We then reach the trash debatable portion of the episode which will probably resurface at some point. Not all things culture were negative this week, though, thus the name of this episode.

RESOLUTIONS

January 07, 2019 16:08 - 1 hour - 108 MB

We discuss our 2019 resolutions and make some 2019 predictions. As #KickbackOnWax proved, the energy you start the year with can cost you!! We also discuss the king of trash, R. Kelly.

SHUT UP AND PREACH

December 17, 2018 15:00 - 1 hour - 84.8 MB

Controversy stepped tew this week in the culture, much of it surrounding Kulture’s parents. Now keep in mind this episode was recorded prior to Offset becoming Midset, but we give our thoughts on the Sets (the B’s??) and we wish them happiness and blessings moving forward.

Then some random woman many people are unaware of told gospel legend Pastor John...

WHAT'S FREE?

December 03, 2018 14:51 - 1 hour - 71.2 MB

Calico Syd was out living her best life this weekend (HBD, Sydney!!!) so we made the easy decision to bring in more family. Good Culture’s own Lauren Whiteman (@itsmewhiteman) joins the discussion with Kenny and T. Lee as we discuss Meek’s new project and other stories surrounding his album.
