Cappadonna: "They Question If I'm Wu-Tang" + Ice Cream & More!



Cappadonna gave some real insight on his journey when he pulled up to The Punchline Academy and gave them real Shaolin talk, straight from the roots of Staten Island. They sat down and went deep into Wu-Tang history, how "Ice Cream" became his first video, and the era that shaped one of the most important movements in Hip Hop culture.


Cap speaks on being one of the most underrated pens in the Clan, the responsibility of carrying Staten Island on his back, and how Wu-Tang’s legacy continues to influence the new generation. The love, the pressure, the history, he lays it all out with no filter.

This is one of those conversations you feel full of gems, memories, and a real Hip Hop perspective from a man who lived it. Wu-Tang is forever, and Cappadonna breaks down exactly why.

How Do We Keep Our Journalistic "Free Hand"?

JOURNALISTS DEPEND ON A FREE  and unfettered internet to deliver news in their own communities and around the world. But, increasingly, they find themselves victimized by the same freedom. In some instances, the news they produce is drowned out by a flood of misinformation, disinformation, lies, and clickbait. In others, they are harassed and threatened by armies of vicious trolls, sometimes organized by governments, intended to hound them into silence.  How on earth should journalists respond?  David Kaye, the UN special rapporteur for freedom of expression and a law professor at the University of California at Irvine, has some suggestions. https://www.cjr.org/watchdog/social-media-harassment-journalists.php Journalist especially citizen journalists depend on the internet and the ability to navigate through the Websphere. Our tools and resources are under constant attack however the above article by David Kaye as reported by the Columbia Journalism Review gives ...

Delivering the Scoop!

In the early 1820s, when the only international news came in with the ships, several New York newspapers banded together to keep a small newsboat ready to meet incoming schooners. But in 1827, one of the papers on board, the  Journal of Commerce , withdrew from the agreement: the editors didn’t want the boaters to work on the Sabbath. The  Journal  bought its own schooner. “One of its rivals then bought an even faster boat, and things escalated from there,” Andie Tucher, a historian and journalist who directs the Communications Ph.D. program at Columbia Journalism School, says. The first scoop war was born. https://www.cjr.org/special_report/journalist-file-deadline-article.php In this day of microwave sensibilities...actually even that isn't fast enough anymore...in this age of social media the new "scoop" delivery to your audience has even outgrown google docs as a means of linking your audience to your story. Now we have to tell a story in 140 characters or less fo...

Exploring the World of Citizen Journalism

Citizen journalism has become the latest wave to crash onto the shores of media. This new dynamic appears to revolve around social media and short form platforms like blogs rather than the older standard of magazines, newspapers or even newsletters at a community level. Today, anyone with a smart device can be a journalist, capturing and reporting on moments that might otherwise be missed or ignored by what is called mainstream media. Has this phenomenon destroyed the usefulness of what was once known as "tier 1" media outlets? Arguably yes, take for instance the citizen journalists who roam the street and can react and report almost instantly on happenings going on right in front of them as it happens. This information can then be passed on to other outlets who were not on site OR might be inclined to adulterate the information once they get wind of it. That's my thought for today...back soon.
