Welcome to Karen Hunter is awesome.

And I get to have some amazing conversations with people.

I did a town hall with Kevin Powell, you know him from Vibe Magazine, the real world.

And of course, he's been on the Karen Hunter Show many, many times.

And he's out there doing documentaries.

When We Free The World is the latest.

And he's written 16 books.

And we sat with Kierna Mayo.

I remember Honey Magazine like it was yesterday, the cover of Lauren Hill.

Oh, my goodness, it was groundbreaking.

Every page of that magazine was inspiring and it was intentional. And I'm so mad it's not here

anymore. But we had a conversation about hip hop that I wanted to share with you here in light of

the Puff Daddy, P. Diddy,itty Sean combs the reckoning and all of the

documentaries that are out there and eventually he's going to be out probably by the time you hear this

podcast at some point he'll be out but there's a conversation we must have within the culture

about what is acceptable about what the standards should be, and accountability.

Accountability. But in this first episode, we talk about the glory of hip hop celebrating this 50th

year. So I hope you enjoy. It was a lot of fun. And stay tuned. 50 years in the making,

hip hop has turned. And some of us weren't born no i'm lying we were all

born and we were all here we we contributed to this thing so i'm like it's time it's time to wear

your crowns and take your bowels y'all so let me welcome to the show i'm gonna start with ladies

first yes ladies first yes oh ladies first yes yes yes yes I remember where I was when I saw the cover Lauren Hill Honey Magazine and I bought, I might have bought like a bunch of copies because something something moved in my spirit because I was like who, who is what, who did this? And then I found out it was you.
