Dart Against Humanity

I talk about my panel The State Of Black Music & The Arts Across Greater Boston happening today at Hibernian Hall. my frustrations with the lack of representation on a national stage in terms of Black Boston plus the importance of history & controlling the narrative. I reflect on the Boston Bruins losing the Stanley Cup, not knowing what the hell the Boston Celtics are doing and my take on the Showtime series "City On A Hill". I covered everything like the Spread Gun in "Contra".

On today's episode of Dart Against Humanity, I discuss my recent DJ Booth piece "Rap Journalism's Long Standing Research Problem" and the response to it. In addition, I  share how I might have figured out the release date of MF DOOM's "Operation: Doomsday". In the second half of the podcast I spend a good amount of time discussing "Beat Street" and what went wrong with it. I also discuss why it remains a cult classic in spite of its shortcomings...

On today's episode, Dart Adams reaches an epiphany about how he's presently living as a writer/creative who's constantly in survival mode even at his advanced age. He then goes on a couple of rants regarding different aspects of modern journalism. Per usual...

In today's episode of Dart Against Humanity, I research whether or not it was the 30th anniversary of Chill Rob G's "Ride The Rhythm" album yesterday then discuss the 25th anniversary of Jeru Tha Damaja's classic "The Sun Rises In The East"...

On today's episode of Dart Against Humanity I explain what's going on with the new ads on this installment of Dart Against Humanity and why I decided to spilt the episode rather than record it all the way through. I then dive into the recent Showtime 4 part documentary "The Wu Tang Clan: Of Mics & Men" and my last segment I spend discussing Rawkus' breakthrough compilation "Soundbombing II" which will have its 20th anniversary tomorrow on May 18th. Loaded episode. Enjoy...

On today's episode of Dart Against Humanity I finally discuss what happened with the Boston Celtics' extremely disappointing season now that it's over. I close out the episode by discussing my gripes with people who complained about some of the developments in "Avengers: Endgame". It's been three goddamn weeks already, people. Time to discuss things after the "Spider-Man: Far From Home" trailer went live.

I decided to spend this episode discussing how tomorrow is the 35th anniversary of the release of the film "Breakin'" and how it forever changed the perception of Hip Hop culture in America and internationally. It essentially ushered in the era of Hollywood and Madison Avenue using Hip Hop culture to sell products to people. I didn't see it in theaters and I thought it was corny when I did see it so do not expect me to wax poetic anbout this mediocre piece of 80's cinema. Enjoy.

Today Dart went to see an early screening of "Avengers: Endgame" and he refuses to drop any spoilers. I also managed to make a short episode for a change. I'm so proud of myself...

On today's episode of Dart Against Humanity, I discuss the 25th anniversary of Nas' classic debut album "Illmatic" and tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of MF DOOM's classic debut album "Operation: Doomsday". I've spent the past week writing pieces about both albums on Medium and I discuss both albums and their lasting legacy in the continuum of classic material.

On Episode 42 of Dart Against Humanity, I discuss my recent visit to General Assembly to a Music & Data panel discussion, another trip to Bow Market to Vinyl Index & Union Sound,  my thoughts on representation in regards to Boston, gatekeepers/tastemakers/influencer culture's affect on the digital music space, Record Store Day being tomorrow, the upcoming Boston Marathon on Patriot's Day (4.15) and I also run down my old work history in local record store within walking distance...
