Ak was making money before complex hired him for the show. them not having ownership of the show is why budden left and started his podcast with spotify. yet another example of investing without capital. the podcast was done free for 4 years. Drink Champs was done free for about a year. both those podcasts have retained ownership and done so by turning down more lucrative offers that would have taken control away from them.
Just saying a podcast whatever Ak does is different to a media company.

I really think this issue is similar to the issues @ the forefront today and that's white privilege. These white boys from some type of means were able to get venture capital, bank loans and industry support Black people trying to do similar couldn't. I don't think it has anything to do with Black customers supporting the right publication. The audience goes to where the best content is and I'm a bet it is split down the middle in that regard the difference is Black folks were not given the opportunity to grow their businesses.

Yup

Budden talked about this on his latest podcast. Black marginalization is in all facets of America culture.

From the schools to the banks to the labels to the media companies to the justice system.

He even brought up Complex and how there were virtually no black people in positions of power when he worked there.

In order for us to combat this Black people need to pool together resources amongst ourselves.

We all find out on our own time

When I was a young man I was called in for a potential internship at Sony...let’s say 04

Imagine my surprise walking around Sony offices and every one of them Mothafukkas looked like homie from Do The Right Thing...

The dude who was interviewing me showed me a montage video of Grand Theft Auto clips with Thief’s Theme playing in the background and asked me do you think they would play this on 106 & Park?

he didn't start the Source alone it was a group and they ALWAYS had Black Staff. The writers are what made that publication what it was in the culture. There's a lot of Source Black alumni still in the industry today.

Support Don Diva broski

It's an all black staff without the cacs chiming in their bologna meatloaf recipes

Hyping black thugs?

Come on Deezy

More like telling you what's really going on... And the REAL consequences of the streets.

Yes it needs help with the editing granted the stories are dope and the insight is real as it gets without glorifying the obvious.

Stand up men behind that magazine breh

We could actually say what's up to kev and he'll reciprocate unlike them other publications.
