Toure show featuring UnCuffed

Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:10:00 -0000

This season, the UnCuffed podcast is doing something new. Greg Eskridge, one of the program’s founding producers inside San Quentin prison, was released over the summer, after more than 30 years of incarceration. And now, he is our host. Over roughly ten episodes, he’ll be telling a deeply personal, riveting story about re-entering society after decades away. It’s a story that’s rarely if ever told about re-entry – the good, the bad, and everything in between: getting robbed at the mandatory transitional living center within weeks of his release, making amends with family members, revisiting the scene of his crime, and documenting, in real time, as he trains to join the leadership team of the Uncuffed program, which runs classes in three California prisons. [As Kelly put it to me, "he's going to be the boss!"]

This ambitious season of the podcast will continue to feature stories of incarcerated producers – including, for the first time ever, incarcerated women. And now, with Greg on the mic, the stories from the inside will connect with the stories from the outside, addressing themes of family, food, and friendship – and tackling newsy subjects like mass incarceration in the so-called model state of California at a time when voters have opted to get tougher on crime.

But she was beating everyone! She’s been away recently on maternity leave but she’ll be back on the WTA circuit soon. We talk about technique, growing as a player, dealing with the USTA, playing against Serena, and much more.

Arlan Hamilton - I Steal White Privilege

Sun, 31 Mar 2024 08:06:00 -0000

You don’t need to work 50 hours a week to get rich. You need to make your money work for you. And you need to know that you can infiltrate the power structure and make their rules for you.

But I’m hoping it opens back up soon!) But here she talks about going from homeless to VC and how she’s trying to create business opportunities for Black, brown, female and LGBT founders because they are an under utilized resource even though they know how to make a dollar out of 15 cents. A throwback to an important conversation from 2018 with a woman who’s figured out how to steal white privilege and make it work for her.

Neil deGrasse Tyson - I am More Than Science

Sun, 13 Aug 2023 07:03:00 -0000

Neil deGrasse Tyson is one of the most brilliant men alive and I think his genius runs beyond science and into how he’s able to communicate with people. Indeed, he rejects the very notion of himself as a genius—when I asked him about it he said his success is all about hard work. He just reads and writes and thinks all the time. In this conversation I wanted to talk about anything but science, I wanted to get to know a different side of him, so here’s Neil like you’ve never heard him before—on his penchant for hard work, on his father, on wine, and on racism. Also check out his new Master Class on science and communication. This interview is from 2020.

James Blake-I Beat Federer

Sun, 09 Jul 2023 07:03:00 -0000

James Blake was once the #4 tennis player in the world and #1 in America. He beat Federer and Nadal. But what’s most amazing is that he played his best tennis after breaking his neck in a freak injury and contracting shingles and losing his dad—all in one year. He’s tough, smart (Harvard), humble, and cool. And the best Black male player since Arthur Ashe. I interviewed him at the tennis club where I grew up, Sportsmen’s Tennis Club in Dorchester, Massachusetts, in front of a few hundred people. James is an amazing person. It’s really interesting to see how he thinks. This interview took place in 2018.

Toure Show presents Being Black - The 80’s

Tue, 20 Jun 2023 20:21:00 -0000

N.W.A’s “Dopeman” Is one of the illest songs ever made because it takes you deep into the drug dealer’s perspective on selling drugs. The crack dealer was evil but we should still seek to understand what drove him and when we look into his soul we find that like the fiends he served, he too was an addict, but he was addicted to power and money. Crack dealers and their culture had a deep influence on hiphop culture and the Black community. In this ep we go into "Dopeman” with The D.O.C. from NWA and talk to several former drug dealers about how dealers changed the world around them.

Guests:

Nelson George, Filmmaker

Royce Da 5’9, Rapper

Biba Adams, Writer

Who Killed Malcolm X

Sun, 19 Feb 2023 11:03:00 -0000

Now that two men have been exonerated in the murder of Malcolm X, who killed him? Well there’s a Netflix doc that has an answer: “Who Killed Malcolm X” tells us the name of the man who pulled the trigger of the sawed-off shotgun that killed Malcolm, and which Newark mosque he was from. I talk with the directors Rachel Dretzin and Phil Bertelsen about who killed Malcolm and how the American government conspired to kill Malcolm—his top bodyguard at the end was an NYPD infiltrator and informant.

James Blake was once #4 in the world and #1 in America. He beat both Federer and Nadal. But what’s most amazing is that he played his best tennis after breaking his neck in a freak injury and contracting shingles and losing his dad—all in one year. He’s tough, smart (Harvard), humble, and cool. And still the best Black male player since Arthur Ashe. I interviewed him back in 2018 at the tennis club where I grew up, Sportsmen’s Tennis Club in Dorchester, Massachusetts, in front of a few hundred people. James is an amazing person. It’s really interesting to see how he thinks.

In 2018 I interviewed the legendary actor Michael K Williams about his HBO documentary Raised In the System which gave him a chance to talk about criminal justice and also about his incarcerated nephew Dominic who did over 20 years inside. It was a powerful interview—we talk about prison, drug addiction, acting, the Wire, the Night Of, and Dominic who had been released days earlier and was there at the interview with us. It was an honor to spend time with Michael—he was an intense freedom fighter who cared deeply about criminal justice reform. His intensity comes through in this conversation.

James Blake-I Beat Federer

Sun, 12 Sep 2021 07:03:00 -0000

On the day of the US Open Finals let’s throwback to my 2018 convo with James Blake the tennis star who was once #4 in the world and #1 in America with wins over Federer and Nadal. But what’s most amazing is that he played his best tennis after breaking his neck in a freak injury and contracting shingles and losing his dad—all in one year. He’s tough, smart (Harvard), humble, and cool. And the best Black male player since Arthur Ashe. I interviewed him at the tennis club where I grew up, Sportsmen’s Tennis Club in Dorchester, Massachusetts, in front of a few hundred people. James is an amazing person. It’s really interesting to see how he thinks.

Finding Kendrick Johnson

Fri, 03 Sep 2021 07:03:00 -0000

Kendrick Johnson was 17 years young when he was murdered but no one has been brought to justice. Why? Perhaps because he was killed in the Deep South, possibly by the son of an FBI agent. It’s a tragic story that relates to the history of lynching, the FBI and so much more. The gripping documentary about all this Finding Kendrick Johnson is narrated by Jenifer Lewis from Black•ish so I talked to her and the film’s director Jason Pollock about this story.

Patrisse Cullors - How to Make it Out Alive

Sun, 30 May 2021 07:03:00 -0000

Original Air Date: January 17, 2018

Patrisse Cullors is stepping away from BLM so it’s a good time to look back at our 2018 interview diving into her incredible life that includes victories over poverty, homophobia, family incarceration, and a police force the criminalized her as a child—She dealt with all the pain, chaos and repression in her life and grew strong. She helped build and run Black Lives Matter for years, a movement that has changed the world but also led to her being surveilled and attacked by police. When we spoke she had just published her powerful memoir When They Call You A Terrorist. It’s a great, great book that tells the story of her life and the rise of Black Lives Matter. Cullors is a really special person and I’m proud to call her a friend and this interview will help provide perspective on who she is.

Nikole Hannah-Jones - I Live In A Slaveocracy

Sun, 23 May 2021 07:03:00 -0000

Original Air Date: January 8, 2020

Nikole Hannah Jones is in the news because UNC turned her down for a professorship even though she’s a MacArthur Genius grant recipient and a Pulitzer Prize winner so it’s a good tome to throwback to our 2020 interview. But what’s really going on is she’s the creator of the amazing 1619 project for The NY Times and that project is frightening to the right because it explains how America is still impacted by the legacy of slavery. It is not just our past. We are, today, a slaveocracy. The 1619 project is a podcast, a series of essays, and, soon, a series of books. She is a true genius and I could feel her genius as I spoke to her. She is a person who is toweringly influential in that her ideas have changed many people’s thinking on many issues, people including me. I look up to her intellectually and with the 1619 project she aims to shape the way people see the relationship between America and slavery. It was an honor to talk to @nhannahjones.

I have been a huge fan of the artist formerly known as Terrence Trent D’Arby for many years and it was an honor to talk to him about music and his career and his life and why his career didn’t get even bigger—which has a lot to do with Michael Jackson sabotaging him. Sananda now lives in Italy with his family and he’s still making music and he’s still a musical genius. It was an honor to talk to him.

Charles Blow–I Want You To Move South

Wed, 24 Mar 2021 07:03:00 -0000

He breaks this down in his new book the Devil You Know and in our conversation about his idea and his entire media mission.

But here she talks about going from homeless to VC and how she’s trying to create business opportunities for Black, brown, female and LGBT founders because they are an under utilized resource even though they know how to make a dollar out of 15 cents. A throwback to an important conversation from 2018 with a woman who’s figured out how to steal white privilege and make it work for her. Patreon.com/toureshow Instagram: @toureshow Twitter@toure

Judas and the Black Messiah–with the Lucas Bros

Wed, 17 Feb 2021 08:03:00 -0000

Judas and the Black Messiah is a hot new movie starring Daniel Kaluuya and Lakeith Stanfield about Chicago Black Panther leader Fred Hampton and the FBI infiltrator who snitched on him. It’s a great story and a compelling film on HBO Max now. The story began with a treatment by the Lucas Bros who talk about the film from inception to screen. Great conversation for those who’ve seen the film—spoilers abound because we go deep into the story, the nuances, the making of it, and the ending. Should it have had a different ending? We discuss the alternate ending they considered, one I like even better. You can get half of this conversation for free. To hear the whole thing support us at Patreon.co/toureshow. For just $5 a month you get our Friday Patreon exclusives and the entirety of our Wednesday interviews and you help support the show so we can keep this going!

Dr. Carl Hart–I Do Drugs

Wed, 27 Jan 2021 08:03:00 -0000

Dr. Carl Hart is a drug researcher and an occasional drug user because you can be a respectable, intellectual, high-functioning professional and a loving family man and occasionally do a little heroin. If that sounds crazy, why? Why would it be ok if instead of “do heroin” I said “drink whiskey” or “smoke a joint”? Because heroin is harder or more addictive? The doctor will explain why it’s ok to do drugs in reasonable amounts, why he enjoys good heroin, and why our current thinking about drugs is what’s crazy. Dr. Hart is the author of the new book Drug Use for Grown-Ups and he’ll explain how grown ups can use drugs in a grown up way.

Antebellum's Directors–We Made A Movie

Wed, 23 Sep 2020 07:03:00 -0000

Antebellum is a powerful and triggering new film starring Janelle Monae as a modern woman trapped in a slavery nightmare. Some people will like this film, some will hate it. I watched it twice even though at times it was hard to watch the intense slavery scenes but it should be hard to watch slavery scenes. But filmmakers need to be thoughtful about why they’re taking us through slavery because it’s dredges up deep, painful feelings. Bush and Renz are a couple and the co-directors of this controversial film and I spoke to them both about what they made and why.

Sun, 24 May 2020 07:03:00 -0000

Andre Leon Talley’s new memoir The Chiffon Trenches has people talking about him anew but my old friend has been a fashion icon for decades because he’s a survivor. He’s been beaten up for being gay. He’s dealt with fashion people being overtly racist. And through it all he became a legend. Conversating with him is a joy. This originally aired in August of 2018.

Cyntoia Brown–I am Free!

Sun, 17 May 2020 09:17:00 -0000

Cyntoia Brown is the subject of a powerful new Netflix doc Murder To Mercy: The Cyntoia Brown Story. She was a teenage prostitute who was convicted of murder when she was 15 but years later it became clear that she wasn’t a predator, she was a victim. She did 15 years of a life sentence for murder before her sentence was commuted. Back in October of 2019, a few months after she got out of prison, we spoke about her heartbreaking story, how she ended up in prison, and how she managed her time, and how she got out. It’s an incredibly powerful story. Instagram @toureshow. Twitter: @toure Patreon:

Nikole Hannah Jones—I Live In A Slaveocracy

Sun, 10 May 2020 07:03:00 -0000

Nikole Hannah Jones just won the Pulitzer Prize for her amazing 1619 project for The NY Times. That project has made people smarter, made people cry and made some conservatives lose their minds. It seeks to explain how America is still impacted by the legacy of slavery. It is not past, we are, today, in a slaveocracy. The 1619 project is a podcast, an ongoing series of articles and essays that are being taught in schools, and will soon be a series of books. This builds on Nikole’s extraordinary work for the Times. She is a verified genius, the recipient of a MacArthur grant, and I could feel her genius as I spoke to her. She is a person who is toweringly influential in that her ideas have changed my thinking on many issues and, with the 1619 project, aims to shape the way many people see the relationship between America and slavery. We spoke to her on January 8th, 2020, and we re-run this now because it’s an honor to hear Nikole Hannah Jones @nhannahjones speak. I hope you get a lot out of this. If you do please let me know on Twitter @toure or on Instagram @toureshow.

The Central Park 5—We Are Free

Sun, 03 May 2020 07:03:00 -0000

The Central Park 5 aka the Exonerated 5, are symbols of both pain and redemption. The system rushed to convict them but years later new evidence uncovered their innocence and led to a multi-million dollar settlement that left them comfortable and empowered. And then Ava Duvernay’s Netflix film about them When They See Us gave their story new oxygen. After that they felt truly liberated. On June 19, 2019 I spoke with two of the Central Park 5, Dr. Yusef Salaam and Raymond Santana, in Atlanta. This is one of my favorite interviews in the history of the show. Instagram @toureshow.

Terry McMillan–I Love My Characters

Wed, 29 Apr 2020 07:03:00 -0000

Terry McMillan is one the most famous and successful writers of her time because she knows how to really connect with her audience. And the reason why she understands how to do that is because she knows how to make great characters and she knows how to listen to them. She doesn’t tell her characters what to do, she lets them tell her what she wants them to do and who they are and by really listening, she creates really honest characters who people love. This is a master class in how to write compelling fiction—after this convo I will never look at characters the same ever again. This is a must for anyone who aspires to be a successful writer. And check out Terry’s new novel It’s Not All Downhill From Here.

Tayarisha Poe is the director of Selah And The Spades (on Amazon) which is a brilliant film about cliques in a private school and the badass Black girl who runs the whole social ecosystem.

Policing During Corona

Wed, 08 Apr 2020 07:03:00 -0000

In the frightening era of Coronavirus, the NYPD are on the front lines helping fight this battle. My friend Lt. Edwin Raymond polices in Brooklyn and says he normally encounters 3 dead bodies a week but nowadays he’s seeing 9 or 10 dead bodies a week. The police have a critical role in this moment—should they continue making arrests for small, non-violent incidents when that means people go to jail where they are hypervulnerable to Coronavirus? Should they arrest people for not practicing social distancing when that means they become hypervulnerable to Coronavirus? Should the police be scared that they could be spreading the virus? I talk about all of that and more with Lt. Raymond who’s long been fighting from within the force to make policing safer and more equitable. He’s been critical to helping decrease the use of quotas—for more on his movement to help reform the department, check out the amazing documentary Crime + Punishment.

Who Killed Malcolm X is a hot new Netflix doc that tells us who pulled the trigger of the sawed-off shotgun that killed Malcolm X, which Newark mosque he was from, how he got away, how the NYPD knew Malcolm’s life was in danger and allowed him to operate, and how the FBI sowed the seeds of angry division in the Nation of Islam that led to Malcolm’s murder. I talk with the directors Rachel Dretzin and Phil Bertelsen about making the film and how the American government conspired to kill Malcolm—his top bodyguard at the end was an NYPD infiltrator and informant. A person who didn’t help identify Malcolm’s killer—a man who lived out his life in peace in Newark. A person who went on to infiltrate the Black Panthers. I can’t.

Karen Finney–I Worked For Hillary

Wed, 12 Feb 2020 08:03:00 -0000

Karen Finney worked for Hillary Clinton and witnessed the rise and fall from the front row. As the Dems search for a new nominee, Hillary’s shadow looms large, so I called Karen to have one more look at what went wrong for Hillary and what we misunderstand about her campaign and how 2016 changed politics as we know it.

Amy Sherald—I Painted Michelle Obama

Wed, 05 Feb 2020 08:03:00 -0000

Amy Sherald painted the official portrait of Michelle Obama that’s hanging in the National Portrait Gallery but there’s an awesome story around how she got that commission and the artistic decisions she made in making that painting. We get into all of that but there’s also so much more to her life than that painting. Amy had already become a major portraitist before that commission, even though, just a few years before she met the Obamas, Amy was broke and wondering where her artistic career was going. She’s also got someone else’s heart inside of her thanks to a transplant that saved her life. She’s also a former rapper. And an all-around wonderful person. She’s an example of success coming to someone who believes in herself no matter what. Like what we do? Support us on Patreon patreon.com/toureshow and get Patreon exclusive eps every Friday.

Marc Lamont Hill—I Grew Up With Kobe

Wed, 29 Jan 2020 08:03:00 -0000

Marc Lamont Hill grew up in Philly playing basketball with Kobe Bryant. They were on different planets even then but Marc learned a lot about him in the hundreds of times they faced off. They went in different paths but stayed friends and Marc became more than just one of the coolest intellectuals in America, he became a basketball expert who thinks of himself as Mr. 76ers. He sits front row at every home game. Marc is an amazing brother who I’ve known and loved for many years and it was amazing to sit and talk with him about basketball and Kobe and everything else. We had this conversation weeks ago, before Kobe was suddenly and tragically killed, and you can hear Marc’s respect for his old friend coming through. Like what we do?

Harriet Tubman Came To Slay

Wed, 15 Jan 2020 08:03:00 -0000

Harriet Tubman is one of the inspiring figures in American history. For years she did the hard, dangerous, crucial work of running into the South and grabbing enslaved people off of plantations and bringing them to freedom through the Underground Railroad to the North—sometimes taking them as far as Canada. She risked her life and changed the lives of many, many families by rescuing people from slavery. In the recent movie about her, Harriet, I felt like crying during the montage where she walks in over and over with groups of people she’s saved. But if you think you know Tubman’s story because you’ve heard it, or because you saw the movie, just know that there’s much more to tell. Most accounts do not go into her later years, when she was a Union spy and when she led Union soldiers into a raid on a Confederate plantation where she ended up freeing over 700 people in one night. After seeing the film I wanted to hear the full story of Tubman’s life as we know it so I called the author of a great new book about Tubman called She Came To Slay by Rutgers University history professor Erica Armstrong Dunbar and she gave me much deeper insight on the real Tubman’s life including how she made it from the North to the South and back, what her life was like, what her friendship with Frederick Douglass was like, what her marriages were like, why we never see Tubman smile in photos, and more. Let me know what you think.

Nikole Hannah Jones—I Live In A Slaveocracy

Wed, 08 Jan 2020 08:03:00 -0000

Nikole Hannah Jones is the creator of the amazing 1619 project for The NY Times which has made people smarter, made people cry and made some conservatives lose their minds. It seeks to explain how America is still impacted by the legacy of slavery. It is not past, we are, today, in a slaveocracy. The 1619 project is a podcast, an ongoing series of articles and essays that are being taught in schools, and will soon be a series of books. This builds on Nikole’s extraordinary work for the Times and her amazing pieces on school segregation for This American Life called The Problem We All Live With. She is a verified genius, the recipient of a MacArthur grant, and I could feel her genius as I spoke to her. She is a person who is toweringly influential in that her ideas have changed my thinking on many issues and, with the 1619 project, aims to shape the way many people see the relationship between America and slavery. It was an honor to have Nikole Hannah Jones @nhannahjones come to the studio and talk about her ideas and her work. I hope you get a lot out of this. If you do please let me know on Twitter @toure or on Instagram @toureshow.

Mon, 30 Dec 2019 20:03:00 -0000

Sandra St. Victor is a legendary singer who led a group called the Family Stand and sang the 90s classic "Ghetto Heaven.” She worked with Prince, Chaka Khan, Roy Ayers, and many more.

Phillip Youmans—I Direct Movies

Tue, 24 Dec 2019 08:03:00 -0000

Phillip Youmans is 19 years young and he’s already written and directed a powerful film starring Wendell Pierce called Burning Cane that’s on Netflix right now. Ava Duvernay has called it a must see film. It’s a mature drama that does not seem like it was made by a teenage newbie. This conversation is about filmmaking in general, meant to help anyone who wants to direct, write, or make film, and it’s led by a filmmaking prodigy who seems destined to become a major filmmaker.

Yvette Nicole Brown makes me happy every time I see her onscreen. She’s a ray of sunshine. That’s probably why she made it from growing up with nothing in Cleveland to having a long, steady career acting in Hollywood. She was on Community, she was in Avengers: Endgame, she’s done movies, sitcoms, kids shows, all kinds of things. We had an amazing talk about life and acting and walking away from her career to care for her Dad and much more. She’s an incredible person. Let me know what you think!

I Am Black In the Trump Era

Wed, 13 Nov 2019 08:03:00 -0000

I Am Black In the Trump Era Politicon is an annual multi-day political festival that now takes place in Nashville. I conceived and moderated a panel where I wanted to get some of my smartest Black friends onstage to talk about how they feel about being Black in the Trump era. I feel under siege, I feel rejected, and I feel like the country is in an era that’s painful and frightening to me and people who like me. I feel like the MAGA hat is the new Klan hood and it scares me to see it worn so brazenly and thoughtlessly. I wondered how others were feeling about being Black in the era of Trump. We had six awesome panelists—April Ryan the White House reporter, Malcolm Nance the superspy who just published the Plot To Betray America, Elie Mystal the legal analyst, Lexi McCammond the Axios reporter, Maya Wiley the activist and legal analyst, and Briahna Joy Gray the national press secretary for Bernie Sanders. The panel was attended by hundreds. Instagram @toureshow.

Lawrence O’Donnell is one of the best TV hosts in cable news. He’s a man of passion and intelligence who prosecutes his subjects and sometimes his guests in a way that recalls a lawyer doing a cross examination. He’s had a fascinating life—he's hosted The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell on MSNBC for almost ten years, he wrote for the legendary TV show the West Wing, he was an advisor for New York Senator Daniel Moynihan in the 90s. We get into all of that and disdain for Donald Trump in this fascinating conversation. I’ve known Lawrence for a long time so this was a treat. Let me know what you think! Instagram @toureshow.

Cyntoia Brown got out of prison just a few months ago. She did 15 years of a life sentence in prison for murder and she admits to having shot and killed a man but she was 15 years old and she had been forced into prostitution by a much older man after years of being raped, abused, and led astray. When the world learned about her case there was an outcry—the system had failed her, everyone failed her. Her story is amazing and it’s chronicled in a heartbreaking book called Free Cyntoia.

Wed, 09 Oct 2019 07:03:00 -0000

Ambassador Susan Rice was President Obama’s National Security Advisor for four years. She was the first one from the administration to go on TV and talk about the Benghazi attacks and the Republicans made her pay for that with an unending series of attacks that cost her a chance to become Secretary of State and ended up making her 9 year old daughter have frightening hallucinations. The Republicans’ attack on Rice was political, and personal, and had nothing to do with the actual tragedy that took place in Benghazi. Rice talks about all of this and more in her new memoir Tough Love and on this show. Let me know what you think! Instagram @toureshow.

A$AP Ferg—I Am The Streets Ferg is one of my favorite modern MCs because he’s versatile, raw, smart, and his flows are ill. Plus he’s a designer with all kinds of dreams to make clothes and furniture and everything. This conversation goes far away from what I’d planned because he’s brilliant and I love that.

Sandra Bernhard-I Love Being Me

Wed, 14 Aug 2019 07:03:00 -0000

Sandra Bernhard is one of my favorite actress/comic/singers of all time. Long before she was Nurse Judy on Pose, she was on the Richard Pryor Show and in Martin Scorsese’s the King of Comedy and so much more. I interviewed her at the very beginning of my career and made a total mess out of it, one of the most embarrassing professional moments ever so I’m thrilled I had a chance to re-interview her and show her I can be an actual professional. Sandra’s a treasure who can do anything onstage. I hope you learn a lot from her. Instagram @toureshow.

City Girls—I’m From the Bottom

Wed, 14 Nov 2018 08:00:00 -0000

City Girls is a hot, raunchy new rap group from Miami but there’s a lot to their story. I spoke to Yung Miami because her partner JT is in prison. When she’s not rapping, Yung Miami is taking care of her 5 yo son and her 14 yo brother because her mom is in prison for another two years. Even if you’ve never heard of City Girls, this is a fascinating look at someone who’s from the bottom and is on the cusp of changing her life forever. Thanks to God and some nasty sexual rhymes.

The tennis star was once #4 in the world and #1 in America with wins over Federer and Nadal.

He’s tough, smart (Harvard), humble, and cool. And the best Black male player since Arthur Ashe. I interviewed him at the tennis club where I grew up, Sportsmen’s Tennis Club in Dorchester, Massachusetts, in front of a few hundred people. James is an amazing person.

Kendrick Lamar: How To MC

Wed, 24 Jan 2018 08:01:00 -0000

He’s the greatest MC of his era. Is it even a question? But how did he get to be that? I talked to Kendrick Lamar to find out how Kendrick became Kendrick. In this conversation we talk about how Kendrick got to be so good—how do you practice? How do you develop as an MC? What are his favorite words? We also talk about his best verses and his best song. And the impact of seeing dead bodies on the street when he was a kid. He’s a man who’s obsessed with hiphop, so he practiced intensely and constantly, but he’s also willing to accept failure. His success—his amazing music—is built atop lots and lots of private failures that helped him learn his craft and become a master MC. Toure Show is successful people talking about their success. What tactics, attitudes, and strategies fueled their success? How’d they deal with failure? What can you learn from their journey that’ll help fuel your rise?

An art world superstar who’s full of brilliance and ego, and who’s willing to strip and be a nude model for his fellow artists, Kehinde Wiley is a portraitist who has become one of the dominant painters of his generation on an artistic level and on a business level. He’s got studios around the globe and many assistants and a vision for his work that is recognized and respected across the world. He’s been featured on the walls in Empire.

Puffy: How To Make A Billion

Toure Show is successful people talking about their success. What are the tactics, attitudes, and strategies that fueled their success? How’d they deal with failure? What can you learn from their journey that’ll help fuel your rise? I want these conversations to be valuable for you. Puff (or Sean Combs, or Diddy, or Brother Love) is one of the greatest business minds in the country today. He’s closing in on being a billionaire thanks to his many revenue streams—#1 Ciroc, #2 Sean John. He’s done it by being fearless in business, by being a creative visionary, by being a great marketer who understands how to infuse his brand into anything. Puff is indefatigable. He’s driven like no one you’ve ever seen. He’s great at inspiring people and setting a high bar for everyone around him. And he’s done it by using himself as billboard for his brand. He’s a star because it helps him sell. Yeah he’s got a huge ego but he uses his stardom strategically, to help himself sell so when the guy you saw dancing and rhyming alongside Biggie Smalls is now looking dapper and holding Ciroc, the vodka looks better. When he takes the audaciousness that he brought to the music biz and injects into the fashion biz, his clothes sell more. Being an icon helps him in business. And that’s just part of why he’s so successful. Toure Show Ep 4 Puffy—“How To Make A Billion” Host & Writer: Toure Producer: Chris Colbert The House: Cadence 13

Nikki Giovanni: How To Make It In Poetry

Wed, 29 Nov 2017 08:01:00 -0000

Toure Show is successful people talking about the talents, tactics, and attitudes that helped them become successful. What’s at the core of your success? What’s your superpower? How did you rebound from failure? Hopefully these are conversations that are valuable to you and help you get more fuel for your journey. Nikki Giovanni is one of the greatest living poets in the world. I grew up hearing Ego Tripping recited over and over in ways that seemed to magically transform all who recited it and all who heard it. And so many of her other poems are so simple or so beautiful or so powerful that I can’t forget them. Plus Nikki is a joy to be around. She’s funny, smart, humble, and she’s cool. She’s the best dinner guest imaginable. In this hour plus conversation we talk about: • Her insight into Trump voters after a life lived in Appalachia. • The impact of watching domestic violence in her childhood home. • How she rebounded from a health scare by getting onstage. • What makes a great poem. • How she learned to cry. • Why she feels she needs to go into outer space. If you want to talk to me about this ep or suggest a future guest I’m on Twitter @Toure and on Instagram @Toureshow. And please rate and review on iTunes—it makes a difference!
