    COMMUNITY :: Nipsey Hussle

    COMMUNITY :: Nipsey Hussle

    On February 11, 2018, I interviewed the late, great rapper and community leader, Nipsey Hussle, for an editorial piece entitled “At Conflict with the World.” Ironically, we recorded most of the discussion while parked in the space where Nip’s life would tragically be stolen one year later. Since his death, I’ve been discouraged by the hole Nipsey leaves behind in our culture, in music, in Los Angeles. Yet, I’m simultaneously inspired by a generation of upstarts from the neighborhood who have picked up the torch and are setting a new wildfire.

    Today, I bring you our entire conversation as the tenth and final episode of my series, This Is Not a Podcast. Let’s do our part to keep his legacy alive by listening to his music, sharing our Nipsey stories, and putting out communities first. -Bobby Hundreds

    RIVERCIDE :: Samii Ryan

    RIVERCIDE :: Samii Ryan

    Aside from sharing an office space with The Hundreds, Samii Ryan shares a lot of other things in common with Bobby, most importantly being the middle child of their families. You may know her for being a model or the founder of her eponymous brand that is taking over the world, but Samii has an incredible roller coaster story that you have to hear. From being raised in a home full of actual witches to overcoming the most difficult of obstacles, Samii has proven tougher than most and a force to be reckoned with. Bobby and Samii sat down at The Hundreds HQ to discuss her insane story, what she's working on now, and how she's found some semblance of peace in her wild life.

    SOMETIMES IT TAKES SOME TIME :: Kenan Thompson

    SOMETIMES IT TAKES SOME TIME :: Kenan Thompson

    What can you say about Kenan Thompson that hasn't been said? He's a consummate professional, a legend in the game, and one of the most versatile talents modern culture has ever seen. A rare breed, he's part of a miniscule group of massive child stars that has been able to transcend their early fame and find even bigger success as an adult. The husband, father, comedian, and actor is now the longest tenured cast member in Saturday Night Live history, a feat that is both astonishing and totally believable. He's just so so good at transforming into whatever role he is playing, and he's been doing it since the 90's when he was the star of Nickelodeon's All That sketch comedy show. The spin-off Kenan & Kel and subsequent Good Burger movie catapulted Kenan into superstardom and made him every kid's favorite. But while he found early success, his road to conquering the adult comedy world as well wasn't always easy. It's been a bumpy road at times, and Bobby invited Kenan to The Hundreds HQ to discuss it all. "Awwww, here it goes!"

    GET UP KIDS :: A-Trak

    GET UP KIDS :: A-Trak

    It's amazing that we didn't have to record this episode with world famous DJ and producer A-Trak from the airport because the Fool's Gold Records founder is legit traveling the globe like 547 days a year. Beyond being arguably the most influential figure in EDM and bringing his unique flair to countless iconic hip-hop and dance records, Alain is one of the most technically skilled turntablists in history, becoming a world champion scratcher while the rest of the kids his age were just worried about their newest pimple and who they were going to ask to homecoming. Bobby had Alain stop by The Hundreds HQ to chat about being "busy," innovating in a field that moves a million miles an hour, and both being Aries aka human bulldozers.

    UPSET THE SETUP :: Jessie Andrews

    UPSET THE SETUP :: Jessie Andrews

    Entrepreneur extraordinaire Jessie Andrews' story could have played out so much differently. After getting her start in porn when she was 18, Jessie amassed a huge audience but realized quickly that she would need to diversify her brand to sustain growth and reach more people outside of that world. First with a successful jewelry brand, and then with swimwear, and now with a number of other brands and a charitable organization, Jessie figured it out. She didn't have a team helping her solve problems, she just... figured it out. And she did it her way, until her way was the right way. It's incredibly inspiring to see the burgeoning empire Jessie has created out of a small studio. She visited The Hundreds HQ to sit down with Bobby and discuss how straying from the normal tried-and-true blueprint can teach you (and others after you) the most.

    LAUREN'S LESSON :: Benny Gold

    LAUREN'S LESSON :: Benny Gold

    Celebrated streetwear designer Benny Gold did something not many have done before: he closed down his brand on a good note. He didn't run it into the ground until the wheels fell off, he didn't sell it to some shell corporation to let them control it like a parasite. He recognized it had run its course (for now) and made an incredibly difficult decision. And in this time of late stage capitalism, that makes him an extreme outlier. While in San Francisco for his book tour, Bobby sat down with longtime friend Benny to discuss what went into that decision and what the next chapter of his life is like. Spoiler alert: everything Benny is doing is gold.
