“ Remember Rappin’ Duke? Da-ha, da-ha You never thought that Hip-Hop would take it this far…” – The Notorious B.I.G. on “Juicy” Advertisement Way back in 1984, when Hip-Hop was still a young genre, The “Rappin’ Duke” emerged as one of the most popular in a cast of characters the fledgling genre had to offer. Shawn Brown gained prominence in the mid-1980s with his releases under this hilarious alias. One of his most notable tracks was the 1984 Hip-Hop novelty classic titled “Rappin’ Duke,” which was later immortalized by the late, great Notorious B.I.G. The song’s concept revolves around the idea that the late actor John Wayne, also known as “The Duke,” is a rapper. By the time the song hit, Wayne had passed away (1979) By adopting Wayne’s persona, The Rappin’ Duke parodies the essences of rap at the time -bragging and boasting about how bad you are. He also spoke of his superior rhymes and flow compared to some of the greats like Run DMC and Kurtis Blow. Even though it was meant as humor, Russell Simmons didn’t find it funny. Brown, a comedian at the time, talks all about the trials he has faced as a self-proclaimed “one-hit wonder” and what happened when he tried to bury his alter ego once and for all. He has Biggie to thanks. This is first interview he’s ever done. Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur talks to him about his hilarious time with Muhammad Ali, the Goat, Stevie Wonder, New Edition and touring with the best of the best in Hip-Hop at the time. He also talks about making no...

When people discuss the ever-famous Muhammad Ali, they often accentuate the positives and eliminate the negatives. They celebrate his boxing prowess, seemingly bottomless charisma, and civil rights advocacy. When covering his struggles, they tend to look for silver linings. We'll focus on the darker aspects of his existence. There will be little emphasis on accolades or charming anecdotes and few inspirational takeaways, but this is mainly the story of Ali's shortcomings, regrets, and suffering. Nothing here is intended to downplay Ali's amazing accomplishments or otherwise detract from his image. He undeniably earned a permanent spot in the pantheon of cultural heroes, but he also displayed streaks of shocking villainy, and the awful price he paid for boxing glory illustrates the sometimes unbridgeable gap between success and well-being. To gloss over or soften these harsh realities ignores Muhammad Ali's humanity and transforms him into a myth. Here's a look at when The Greatest was at his worst. In 1975 Playboy: "When we are right, no one remembers, but when we are wrong no one forgets." That's often true, but perhaps it didn't apply to him in the long run, because iironically in that same interview he said some incredibly wrong things that most people seem to have forgotten. How wrong? He advocated hanging people based on the people they're dating. Back then Ali followed the teachings of the Nation of Islam and vehemently opposed rumble-in-the-jungle fever. His intervi...

The primary sources for scholarship on the life of ʿAlī are the sīrah literature (accounts of the Prophet Muhammad’s life), as well as other biographical sources and texts of early Islamic history.
