Thanx4askin – Détails, épisodes et analyse

"Today we have Harlem's own, the one and only, K-Shine, come sit down on the couch for the Thanx4askin Podcast. We try to cover everything that needs to be addressed and more. Of course, we cover the obvious topics such as his strained relationship with DNA and URL, also known as The Ultimate Rap League. However, before getting into that, we had to talk about his early upbringing, influences, and what led him to become a battle rapper. We talk about what it was like being that his father was in and out of prison very early in his life and how that affected him. We go on to talk about his High school days as a battle rapper. We later go into all the wins and losses he faced in battle rapping; not many losses though. We discussed what drug dealing was like for him. This actually caused him to have several prison bids. Being tethered to the system was no doubt a struggle for him when it came to battle rapping. We cover this and so much more in this interview. This interview is a portrait of a man who has been tested time and time again and somehow always finds a way to not only survive but thrive in his situations."

"Racquel Ellis comes into the barbershop to talk about some of the perils she went through to overcome the odds. Racquel talks about overcoming some serious setbacks starting as early as high school. At the start of her high school experience, she became pregnant, unexpectedly. Now, faced with the stigma and hardships of being a teen mom. This episode breaks down how this wouldn't stop her in the slightest. Eventually, she received her high school diploma from August Martin High School. Moreover, she would not stop there, so Racquel immediately went right to college. Again, this transition into college life would not be easy as well. One reason for this is due in part to the fact that her high school literature was misaligned with her college institution. This made her experience even more challenging. Like before, Racquel overcame this, received her bachelor's degree, and then went on to receive her Master's of Education. eventually, she became a New York City School teacher. As most people may know, being a teacher can be a very difficult and overwhelming profession. The burnout rate is relatively high yet Racquel managed to figure out how to thrive in this environment as well." Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today, we go to California and interview the actor Antwon Tanner. We talk about his upbringing in Chicago, acting, how he landed some of his most iconic roles, working with DMX, Samuel L. Jackson, and much more.

Antwon grew up in the inner city of Chicago where he was subjected to the many pitfalls that a poor neighborhood can subject you to. Of course, being a teenager in the '90s, it was almost impossible not to be a gang member in Chicago. however, his grandmother, who was known for being a gangster herself, guided him in a direction that made him a "conservative" Vice Lord. This is a gang member who doesn't have all of the tattoos and things like that to avoid any unnecessary police interaction. Even with the help of his grandmother, Antwon was still getting into trouble. Because of this, Antwon moved to California with his father to live a better life.

Arriving in California, Antwon had a chance encounter with a basketball coach that led him down an unlikely path to a profession he never considered...acting. From there he landed several acting roles in major movies like Sunset Park, The Wood, Coach Carter, Never Die Alone and many more. Antwon also landed a role in the cult classic One Tree Hill.

We also, get into the pay disparities between black actors and white and what's it like working on black shows compared to white shows.
