How to Be Wrong

This week I speak to something that I believe will spark thought, and that is How to be wrong because I perceive there is a natural aversion to being wrong and I believe that we shouldn't run from it but lean into it, so that we can grow. I also gave my overall take on the Kendrick Lamar Vs Drake rap beef, a lot of people still wrong about that but let me know what you think about my take on the matter Follow the podcast on IG @simplykingpod Follow on Tiktok @kings_memoirs Follow me everywhere @kings_memoirs Follow my business page @lifeasking Sign up for my email list so that you never miss content https://www.lifeasking.com/links

Lost Confessions ft. Koko

This week is the last part of my 4 part lyrical breakdown series Toxic Tracks, featuring the lovely and multitalented artist and content creative Koko. We wrapped up the compilation with breaking down two classics from two R&B icons Usher's "Confessions Pt. 2" and Jazmine Sullivan's "Lost Ones". These songs had us deep in our bag of poor choices in relationships, how we can be selfish, and the ever so necessary need to tap into your intuition.

Emo +Toxic ft. Koko

This week Koko and I continue on this journey to point out the level of toxicity within music. The songs analyzed for this episode are; The Weeknd's 2011 hit from his House Balloons EP "The Knowing" and Rihanna's 2006 track " Unfaithful" from her album titled A Girl Like Me These songs created so many rants about relationships, infidelity, and a 90s film of the same name of one of the tracks.

Adults Can't Complain

This is my first attempt at a mini-pod, I have been long-winded my whole lifetime to practice the virtue of conciseness, I give my opinions on the idea of Adults complaining, I think that we should be constructive with things that are unpleasant to us, I say adults can't complain we have Adult Grievances, listen now and enjoy Send it On (call to action) : Reply to this Braid prompt : What is your Adult Grievance? https://link.braidit.com/N5venILcEIb Braid - Long form to short-form content sourcing application Follow the podcast on IG @simplykingpod Follow on Tiktok @kings_memoirs Follow me everywhere @kings_memoirs Follow my business page @lifeasking Sign up for my email list so that you never miss content https://www.lifeasking.com/links

What About-ism

This week I give my takes on the strange phenomenon of black people, black men especially having this para-social relationship with wealthy black men who are brought up on various allegations, I speak to how we should react to these occurrences and speaking to the quiet part being said out loud, Diddy, Bill Cosby, R.Kelly, Russell Simmons, etc. do not need the protection of the black community because they weren't thinking about the black community when they caused harm. https://www.theroot.com/the-secret-reason-why-black-people-defend-diddy-and-oth-1851377789 Follow the podcast on IG @simplykingpod Follow on Tiktok @kings_memoirs Follow me everywhere @kings_memoirs Follow my business page @lifeasking Sign up for my email list so that you never miss content https://www.lifeasking.com/links

I am a new listener to the Simply King Podcast. Simply King cultivates the intellectually stimulating content I need while remaining both entertaining and informative. Rodney appears to do his research and take an unbiased position on most subjects. He provides multiple perspectives to current events. This forces the listener to redesign his/her thinking and invoke some critical thought. The podcast is one for the people. The conversation, humor, music, and vibe are all culturally relevant. You’ll forget your learning. Rodney is the homeboy we all need! Pour yourself a drink and light a candle while you listen.I guarantee you’ll feel like a new man/woman.
