Nurture The Mind

A little bit of a different twist on this video. Back in 2021 on the channel I put out a video talking about my vinyl collection. Well now in 2025 I have certainly doubled the amount of records I possess. I wanted to make an update on my vinyl collection to show you guys what my collection looks like now. Here it is.

Music Monday Ep. 118: This week we listen to one of Pittsburgh's very own, Wiz Khalifa! The joint he dropped is called, "Roll It Up Freestyle". I also watched the official music video. This man has been doing this rap and hip hop thing at a very high level for a long time. It was great to hear Wiz go into his bag and find his flows. Kind of sounds like the old Wiz.

Music Monday Ep. 117: This week I returned to Ren's catalogue of music and found a gem inside of the track Money Ties. Ren details why it is important to not idolize money too much. We need it in our lives in order to survive and thrive, but at what costs? How far do we want to take it? I also watched the official music video and there were some great visuals packed into that experience. Had...

Music Monday Ep. 116: We are coming back strong with another Tom MacDonald reaction! This time is a new song and music video that features Ms. Roseanne Barr. The song is called, "Daddy's Home" and the music video is hilarious. This one made me rant for a long time so just be prepared. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pootsiemama/

Music Monday Ep. 115: In this video I discuss the second posthumous album of Mac Miller that was released last Friday. It is Balloonerism and it is magnificent. Mac is going full blown experimental and psychedelic on this project. Created in a time that was somewhere between WMWTSO and the Faces mixtape, Balloonerism truly does feel like an album that was lost in the fray of Mac's iconic life...

Music Monday Ep. 114: This week we introduce two new artists to the channel. Teddy Swims and GIVĒON just dropped a music video for their song, "Are You Even Real". These guys appear to be a great match together. I love the harmony of Teddy's voice. I love the subtle flow of the instrumental and beat in the background. The subject matter is something that you can't just browse o...

Music Monday Ep. 113: This week we introduce another new artist to the channel! We listened to the king of the east coast, Joey Bada$$. His newest song and single is titled, "The Ruler's Back".

Music Monday Ep. 112: This week we travel back to some more Tom MacDonald. I'm glad I did because this was a fun listen. Fitting with it being the Christmas season, Tom did an official remix to the song, "Let It Snow". In his version though he decided to cover topics like drones over New Jersey, the election of Donald Trump, Kamala Harris slurring her word salad on video while appea...

Music Monday Ep. 111: This week I decided to do something a little different on here and create a list of 50 really good albums across all my years. It is in alphabetical order so this list is definitely not any type of ranking order. At the end of the video you will also find an honorable mentions section. Enjoy!

Music Monday Ep. 110: This week we delve into Coldplay and the teaming up with Dick Van Dyke! The song I listened to is called, "ALL MY LOVE". I also watched one version of the music video, which happens to be the director's cut. Later on in the video you will see me listen to the full, uninterrupted song off of iTunes without the visual elements of the music video. We also took a c...

Music Monday Ep. 109: Juice Wrld enters the chat with his new album, "The Party Never Ends". In this video I react, review, and share my opinions on one of the new songs off the album titled, "Misfit". I also watched the official music video. I guess we are closing in the 5 year anniversary of Juice passing away. Good to see people still celebrating this man's music all th...

Music Monday Ep. 108: This week I listened to the new song from Jack Harlow titled, "Hello Miss Johnson". In this video I also was able to watch the official music video for this song. I will say that Jack Harlow was able to capture gold in this music video. It might have been even more entertaining than the actual song. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pootsiemama/

Music Monday Ep. 107: This week we stick with Tom Macdonald but this time he is the feature artist with Dax being the main artist. This track is titled, "Soldier". In this video I also take the time to watch the music video. These two managed to deliver a great collab. I the flows, the beat, the instrumental, the chorus, the subject matter, the imagery of the music video; everything abou...

Music Monday Ep. 106: We are sticking with Tom MacDonald this week! This time I listened to, "You Missed". While taking in this song and watching the music video associated with it, I could sense the passion behind Tom's tone in his voice. This song and video breaths emotion as he describes his take on the assassination attempt of Donald Trump's life back in July of this year w...

Music Monday Ep. 105: This week we continue our political conversations and rants by listening to the artists known as Tom MacDonald and Nova Rockafeller. The song we are listening to is, "Goodbye Joe". There is also a music video that we had to watch for reaction purposes. Just making sure everyone is ready for the election that happens tomorrow.

Album will be released...

The two songs I listened to, reacted to, and review in this video are, "Time of Day" and "Higher Than Heaven". These songs come off of Jelly Roll's newest album, "Beautifully Broken". Both songs are full of emotion and the angelic voice of Jelly Roll. I really...

Music Monday Ep. 102: This week we delve into one of the greatest of all time, the one and only, the real slim shady. He dropped a new album not that long ago titled, "The Death of Slim Shady". One of the tracks off of that album is, "Fuel", which features the Atlanta rapper known as JID. This track flows so well as both of these artists are straight spitters. So far I have lov...

Music Monday Ep. 101: This week we turn to the country/rock superstar known as HARDY! The two songs I dissect in this video are the first two songs off of his newest album, "Quit!!". We have the title track, "Quit!!" and the second track, "ROCKSTAR". Time and time again, HARDY shows how great of a musician he is. These two songs are stellar. Instagram: https://www.ins...

Music Monday Ep. 100: This week we delve into a new artist on the channel known as, "In This Moment." The song I am reviewing, reacting to, and dissecting is, "Blood."The music video for this song is what makes the song even more creepy. It feels very distorted, messy, and chaotic. Will be listening to more 'In This Moment' in the future. Instagram: https://www.instag...

Music Monday Ep. 99: This week we get back into the wonderful world of Ren! In this reaction, review, and first listen I check out the song/music video for Kujo Beat Down by Ren. What madness, frustration, anger, and grit that is being displayed in this song. It feels like Ren is out for blood. I personally love to see this energy from UK product.

Music Monday Ep. 98: In this video I react, review, and listen to two of Mac Miller's song off of his album, "Swimming". These two songs are, "Self Care" and Wings". Obviously I have already heard these two songs before, but in honor of it being 6 years since Mac passed away, I felt it was necessary to go through some of his songs once again and discuss them in a publ...

Music Monday Ep. 97: In this video I react, review, listen to the song, "Chalk Outlines" by Ren and Chinchilla. This is also the music video for the song and it is also the live version of the song.
