Short and sweet for this cultural commentary. I believe this is a moment that will spark a movement. And, for that to happen, it requires action. That's why there is not too much that must be said. There is not too much that can be said that we don't already know. We are in a pre-war state. The tension between all actors is at an all-time high. I have been aware of and preparing for this season fo...

I try not to directly call for revolution because most people's idea of a revolution is not what I would be asking for. I've called it many times instead, a Renaissance. This expansion of awareness and knowledge is opening people's minds worldwide. It's activating their sense of agency and ownership in their future. Too long have we all been sheep following the path of the herd, not knowing that t...

A new season. For this show. For my life. For our world. There has been another major shift in the timeline. I've said in many episodes before that the world has sped up in an incomprehensible way. There has been a supernatural transition between realities. It's not conspiracy, it's observation. God bless you all. Intro & Outro Song: Hennything Is Possible by Elijah Hosted on Acast.

While the 2024 election is still over a year away, now is the time that we need to discuss what’s coming. The candidates are starting to throw their hats in the ring, and we're seeing some all-too-familiar faces. What we are looking at is a possible rematch between the last two major party nominees who also just so happen to, coincidentally, in a completely serendipitous situation, be the previous...

On the 28th anniversary of Mobb Deep's The Infamous , I must remind you: there is indeed a war outside. To once again quote the greatest artist of our time, Drake said on "March 14": I wasn’t hiding my kid from the world; I was hiding the world from my kid. From empty souls who just wake up and look to debate... It took me some years, but I now understand exactly what he meant. Somewhere along the...

This is the finisher of the previous episode, “Inside The Diaspora (Part 1).” I wanted to continue the pocket of conversation that spawned the topic in the first place, but this time in a different direction. I had no choice but to bring happy energy to this episode; I’d been having a very good day so far. I owe that positive mood mostly to my “Black Superhero Music” playlist. It caused me to thin...

This is not sad boy hours. I don't believe in that. But I do know that men have feelings too . More specifically, thugz cry to o. This topic spurred from recent conversations with my closest friends, also men of color, who expressed how they have dealt with mental health issues but haven't felt they could show it in the outside world. The sad part is that we all also have felt we couldn't show it...

Drake said it best (doesn’t he always?): “come and rescue me.” Look, in all honesty I’m ready to build and live out my dreams with my wife. I was always among them that didn’t feel like they fit this generation of love and the current dating culture. It’s a dangerous world out there because everybody is hurting everybody in this cycle of toxicity that no one wants to take accountability for. I rec...

Fair warning, I said bad words in this episode. Over this past week, I have felt overwhelmed and bombarded by information. It felt like the world sped up instantly, and I got left behind trying to figure out where I got lost. The relieving knowledge is that I am not alone in how I feel. Unfortunately, this is the way of the world now- an overload of tragic news without enough time to process one e...

It wasn't too much of from the message, but part of the audio was lost due to a technical difficulty. But, alas, that does not take away from the depth of this episode’s conversation. Episode six is part one of a two-part series in which I dive into the topics I covered in a recent conversation with a friend from high school. This friend had a very different childhood and upbringing than I did, an...

Did ya miss me? I'm sorry I've been M.I.A, but I'm back and better than ever. I'm young. I'm black. And I'm holding my nuts like 'chyeah’. That’s a dangerous combination in many people’s eyes; let’s talk about why. Why is someone like myself America’s worst nightmare? Maybe because I preach and pursue black excellence, elevation, and liberation. Maybe because I have found my passion for inspiring...

The first TMHS interview! Over the weekend, I had a great conversation with my guy Chef Lonnie G.; Lonnie is a vegan chef based in Miami, FL. He also uses his platform to speak on mindset and holistic well-being through the synergy of mind, body, and soul. We talked about his background and what led him to his calling, his motivation for what he does, and some of the deeper purpose behin...

One thing you cannot do is... knock the hustle. Firstly, thank you for being here and listening to me for an hour. I end every episode with "I love you" because I mean it. Now on to today's episode, I discuss Reasonable Doubt (the Jay-Z album and the recent Hulu series) and Black Entertainment Television (from the network to what it's supposed to represent). I recall being in second grade, and the...

Welcome back to The Marcus Hendricks Show; season 2 is underway! In this reintroduction, we discuss The 1619 Project , the new docu-series from Nikole Hannah-Jones. I also introduce the plan for Black Excellence University, a community and platform that will be home to engagement, education, and elevation for my fellow brothers and sisters working to drive the forces of liberation (word of the day...

The end of the beginning! For the last episode of season one, we're finishing out "F*ck The Pie." The follow-up in this conversation pair is about where we've been, where we're at, and most importantly, where we're going. The question has been posed many times, and I am asking it again: what is the vision for the future of the culture? During this February that we've now aptly dubbed Black Futures...

Were 40 acres and a mule ever a fair slice of the pie? I mean, we built this country, after all. For that to be one of the most known facts in this world, it is also one of the least recognized in its importance. So now, the mentality is fuck the pie. That's what we're talking about during this two-part season finale. Episode 10 is about the system holding us all in this invisible form of slavery,...

Another short episode to wind down your week. It's a partial Flashback Friday since the idea comes from something my dad said to me as a kid. I've always been easily excited about the things that interest me, and something I used to love more than anything was going to work with my dad. When we would be getting ready in the morning, he would say to me, "slow down gym shoe." I want to share that me...

Nas said in 2007, "Hip-Hop is Dead." Whether you agree with that statement or not, there is a simple truth that we all need to acknowledge- the culture needs to change. Episode 8 has a clear title for those that understand rap as a sport and hip-hop as a culture. While the two words may be interchangeable when representing a genre of music, they stand alone in prospects. One is thriving and contin...

This was an interesting episode to record, so I imagine it'll be interesting to listen to. It's like the meme joke, "my last two brain cells fighting each other," except this is fully coherent. When you get to my economics definition confusion, ride it out with me. So, what's the overarching message of episode 7? Twitter can also go if we're actually going to ban TikTok. In truth, I have a deeper...

Bonus show! This Flashback Friday episode of TMHS dives into creative kids as students and how we can serve them better. By now, you know that the central focus of my passion and mission is cultivating creativity. I believe that is especially important involving children; if we can encourage the creative spark in the kids, then we will inevitably have creatively inclined adults. I figure if I can...

Welcome back! In episode 5, I'm continuing the conversation about creativity and its importance in society. There is a shift coming to the world of education, one that is long overdue and will be the driver of cultural evolution for generations to come. The reintroduction of creativity into our schooling will be the catalyst for a new age of knowledge and way of thinking. When you look back at the...

We're on episode 4 already! Crazy! This one is a two-parter; creativity is the topic all throughout this episode and the next. Today's conversation is about reframing how we look at creativity in our daily lives and shifting the trajectory of creator culture. In this episode, I discussed the idea that all humans are innately creative and how embracing and tapping into our natural creative inclinat...
