Took a break to recalibrate but today's listen is part five of our miniseries, These Are Our Stories.
Sir Moore hops on a call with RamseySaidWHAT and the duo talk about the importance of documenting today's times. Sir Moore also talks about the many things he's involved in including Black Lives Matter Paterson and his own digital magazine, Docyouments. We briefly touch base on fatherhood, masculinity, and protecting our sistas. Press play.
These Are Our Stories: Part Four with Ciarra McPhail
The Media doesn't convey stories that aren't something that can easily be sensationalized. Unless the story has cussin, crying, or crime, it usually won't be heard or seen. That is the purpose of this mini-series. These are our stories.
Part four features Ciarra McPhail. She's a DMV native currently in Philadelphia studying her MSW at the University of Pennsylvania. She talks to Ramsey about her studies and experience in a Race, Place, and Poverty course she took this last semester. Not all protest is out in the streets. There are other ways you can do the work. She also shares resources where you can play your part in the movement. Press play.
These Are Our Stories: Part Three with Ben Sheard
Part Three features Ben Sheard AKA Shiz. Shiz is 1/3 of the 2nd and One Podcast covering sports. I'd highly suggest everyone listens to their latest episode where they talk about the year 2020 thus far. Shiz is a Long Branch native currently living in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. In this episode, he tells about his experience protesting in his hometown and why he was hesitant about going at first. He explains why he's glad he did, and he also breaks down the importance of voting locally, not just nationally. I need you to feel this.
These Are Our Stories: Part Two with Rodney Coursey
The Media doesn't convey stories that aren't something that can easily be sensationalized. Unless the story has cussin, crying, or crime, it usually won't be heard or seen. That is what this mini-series is about. These are our stories.
Before the interview, Ramsey tells a story when he caught a flat tire on the Garden State Parkway. Sitting on the side of the road around midnight he reads a chilling article about Maurice Gordon, an unarmed black man who was killed by state police on the Garden State Parkway just two days before the murder of George Floyd.
Part two features Rodney Coursey. He describes his protest experience in Long Branch and Asbury Park with great detail. He's explains how he's more emotionally charged now more than ever before with a "If not me, then who?" attitude. He and Ramsey also talk about the youth's involvement and why local politics are important. I Need You To Feel This.
These Are Our Stories: Part One with Scott Stewart
This podcast is taking a break from music discovery. In the introduction, Ramsey explains how the music industry hasn't taken a stance when it comes to Black Lives.
The media doesn't convey stories that aren't something that can easily be sensationalized. Unless the story has cursing, crying, or crime, it usually won't be heard or seen. That is what this mini-series is about. These are our stories.
Part one features Scott Stewart, a New Jersey native who's currently living in our nation's capital. He tells his story of peaceful protest from U Street down to Pennslyvania Avenue. His perspective is interesting and needs to be heard.
I also want to highlight a DJ Mix by my brother DJ Legend that's live on Mixcloud now. In collaboration with WhatsTheMovement.net and Real Talk Session Series, we present to you a variety of tracks for the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
Episode 205 - Jiggy Jones Interview

Episode 015 - The Role of the Contemporary Music Blog
The 15th installment of A-Side B-Side Podcast is inspired by a couple tweets (quoted below) and a 4 AM twitter rant and editorial that never happened.
"These music blogs are blame for the state of music as it stands now idc call me a hater but they the problem when it comes to all this trash a** music out now people paying them for spins and promo and the people really eat the sh*t up like its not a whole scheme"
— Ya Mamma (@_JuseMane) January 11, 2019"Blog Era was perfect rap. Hip-hop was at its best between 2008-2013 and that just is what it is."
— B.I.G.K.E.V. (@indiKEV) January 11, 2019Instead of the long winded rant. Ramsey explains the confusion. In 2019, what do music blogs even do? Are they part of the blame for the way the music industry is? Press play to listen to the (not quite) angsty music blogger and journalist's response. He made a mention of an article written by @BigSto. I think you should check it out and read it here.
