#TheStoop: “It Was All A (Club) Dream”…

Today on #TheStoop: A Mini-Podcast Series, in the spirit of Flashback Friday, we take you back to the 2003-2004 era when Chocolate City* had one of the biggest clubs for the culture. I invite Andrew Mambo (ESPN’s 30 For 30 Podcast), and Headley (past contributor to South Shore Ave), as we take you back down memory lane and discuss “Club Dream”, one of the greatest entertainment night clubs in the DC-Maryland-Virginia (aka The “DMV”), as well as being the biggest club on the East Coast. We break down the atmosphere, the vibe, and share stories from our experience(s) of the legendary nightclub. If you missed out… that’s okay. We accept your apology.

* “Chocolate City” is the nickname for Washington, D.C., and if you’re only now learning this, I’m glad that I was able to help you understand what that term meant. And also…… really?

#TheStoop: The 20th Anniversary of Vol. 2… Hard Knock Life

Today on #TheStoop: A Mini-Podcast series, we take you back to the musical Golden Era of 90’s music, and celebrate one of the Greatest albums of the decade. Twenty years ago tomorrow (September 29, 1998), Jay-Z released his 3rd studio album, “Vol. 2… Hard Knock Life”. The album & the single (of the same name) exploded across the Hip Hop industry, and sent Jay-Z into pole position as the best rapper of the game. It sold over 5 million albums, & became the foundational piece that set up the Rocafella Records era into the new millenium.

I invite Shawn Adonis (Past contributor to South Shore Ave) as we discuss the Top 5 songs from the album, where this album ranks among the other albums in the Jay-Z catalogue, the impact the album had on Rocafella records, and much more.

The Ave Podcast with Cal Cee. Episode 51: The 30th Anniversary of Coming To America

In the spirit of #FlashbackFriday, we take it all the way back to 1988 where we celebrate and pay tribute, to one of the most successful movies in pop-black culture. Thirty years ago today, Paramount Pictures, Eddie Murphy, and Director John Landis released Coming To America, a movie about an African prince from the country of Zamunda (fictional, obviously) who travels to Queens, NY in an attempt to find his Queen. We discuss Eddie Murphy’s genius, his career arc that dominated the 80s, the star-studded cast that was in the movie, the pop-black cultural similarities between ’88 & ’18, our favorite scenes and moments, plus a whole lot more. Oh! What a feeling…..
