N.O.R.E. & DJ EFN are the Drink Champs. In this episode we chop it up with the legend himself, Beenie Man!

The King of Dancehall joins us for an episode you don’t want to miss. Beenie Man pulled up to Drink Champs and dropped straight gems on his legendary career, dancehall roots, and iconic moments. From spitting his first bars at eight years old to earning the crown as the King of Dancehall, Beenie’s journey is pure greatness. He broke down the difference between reggae and dancehall—one’s about the struggle, the other’s about the party. He also spoke on the Jamaican music scene, how real hits last forever, and how the police shut down a studio session during the pandemic.

The convo got real when Beenie talked about Biggie’s flow, Tupac’s message, and classic dancehall rivalries. He even shared wild stories about 50 Cent performing in Jamaica and the crazy energy of clash culture. Beenie kept it 💯 about his work with Janet Jackson, how legends like Jimmy Cliff and Damian Marley shaped the game, and why he’s all about timeless music. The man’s been making bangers since he was five—FIVE! He’s seen it all, done it all, and still got more fire to bring.

Special guest K.Foxx joins us on this episode along with special guest host Drink Champs Director iRossta.

Lots of great stories that you don’t want to miss!

If you love dancehall, hip hop, and real talk, this episode is a must-watch.

A song and video I put together to honor my haitian ancestry and to tell the story of how Haiti became the first independent black republic in the western hemisphere following a successful slave rebellion.
Lyrics:
Nowadays you can die from too much sodium.
We hearing lies from the guys behind the podiums.
but while the whole world is warring for petroleum
we can't forget that the haitians beat Napoleon.
Yup, It started 1791. A whip cracked. A cracker said this is what I need done.
A voodou priest gazed high into the shiny sun
and thought "I'de probably get caught if I try to run.
How can I make it so they'll never be pursuing me?"
He held a ceremony, started preaching unity.
Within 10 days of taking out revenge they
took over the north province. Bondage abolished.
By the next year, 1792
they gained a 3rd of the island since the fight ensued.
Niggas was wildin'. French bodies was piling.
They tried to give rights to the freed to end the violence.
But it was too late. The haitians wasn't giving in
to leave their kin in the condition they was living in.
By seven trey (73) the French was warring with the Brits.
The Spanish took the British side and got up in the mix.
The blacks fought along with Spain.
The French caved and emancipated all their slaves.
It wasn't over tho cuz Britain and Spain
figured they was royalty, was setting to reign.
So a black commander who was fighting for the Spanish crown
fought for the French. Former slaves held him down.
This was in 74. They fought for four years.
Sent the British home running. They was all tears.
In 1800 went to Santo Domingo
and by 01 they freed the slaves from the gringos.
But Napoleon needed slaves.
He tricked the commander and then he had him locked away.
For a few months Napoleion was back in power,
but then a general took wind. Was smelling something sour.
His name was Dessalines.
He led a next rebellion and chased them out the scene
as bodies sunk in the ravine.
Established a republic. Policy was closed door
since the first of the year in 1804.
Big up to Dessalines. Big up to Toussaint.
Big up to Boukman. Big up to Petion.
January the first dont watch the ball drop.
We celebrate our independence. Bring out all stops.
Where my soup joumou at?

[ESPAÑOL]
Los orígenes de la antigua Kush
Tienes que conocer el mundo antiguo para comprender el mundo moderno. Durante años, la historia y las contribuciones de Kush a la civilización mundial fueron en gran parte tergiversadas. Los primeros arqueólogos europeos lo explicaron como un reflejo o colonia de Egipto cuando Egipto se ha explicado durante mucho tiempo como un producto del Cercano Oriente y el Mediterráneo (no de África).
El legendario Reino de Kush, la madre de las civilizaciones africanas, una cultura deslumbrante que floreció en la región conocida como Nubia (que se extiende desde el Alto Nilo hasta el Mar Rojo, lo que hoy es Egipto y Sudán) hace casi 5.000 años y rigió el mundo durante milenios. La región se convirtió en un importante centro comercial de productos del interior africano, el desierto árabe y la cuenca mediterránea. Kush pone de manifiesto el papel que desempeñaron los africanos en un mundo antiguo interconectado.
Durante mucho tiempo, los académicos eurocéntricos no concibieron que una civilización negra fuera tan avanzada. Las antiguas culturas nubias eran sofisticadas y cosmopolitas. Afortunadamente, la verdad sobre esta civilización africana está emergiendo gradualmente a medida que los restos arqueológicos sobrevivientes de Kush revelan un fascinante pueblo antiguo desconocido para el mundo. Ésta es la verdad de la historia africana y debería enseñarse en todas las escuelas. Los europeos ven la antigua Grecia simbólicamente como la madre de su civilización (que también fue influenciada por las civilizaciones africanas clásicas). Los africanos debemos ver a Kush como nuestro gran antepasado. Basándose en sus estudios, viajes, excavaciones y trabajo de campo, Nubia Wardford Polk, nos lo cuenta en "Los origenes de la antigua Kush"

NUBIA WARDFORD-POLK, M.A., Antropóloga / Científica Cultural (Arqueóloga) Nubia Wardford-Polk tiene una maestría en arqueología histórica especializada en arqueología del mundo africano, mundos históricos y prehistóricos. Su participación e investigación primaria en arqueología, antropología e investigación histórica dieron como resultado conclusiones sobre la importancia de la civilización antigua kushita / merolítica (antiguo Sudán) que es anterior a Egipto.
[ENGLISH]
The Cycle of Conferences on African and the African Diaspora Studies [CEADA] invites to the conference “Origins of Ancient Kush” presented by Nubia Wardford-Polk, M.A.
The Cycle of Conferences on African and the African Diaspora Studies has been created to disseminate Afrocentric and Pan-Africanist thought through the experiences and contributions of Africans and their descendants worldwide. It is an open and permanent space where experts in different areas of knowledge are invited. The dialogue revolves around issues of collective interest and from the Afrocentric, Pan-Africanist, and anti-colonialist perspectives.
Origins of Ancient Kush
You have to know the ancient world to understand the modern world. For years, Kush's history and contributions to world civilization were largely misrepresented. Early European archaeologists explained it as a reflection or colony of Egypt when Egypt has long been explained as a product of the Near East and the Mediterranean (not Africa).
The legendary Kingdom of Kush, the mother of African civilizations, a dazzling culture that flourished in the region known as Nubia (stretching from the Upper Nile to the Red Sea, what is now Egypt and Sudan) nearly 5,000 years ago and ruled the world for millennia. The region became an important commercial center for products from the African interior, the Arab desert, and the Mediterranean basin. Kush makes evident the role that Africans played in an interconnected ancient world.
For a long time, Eurocentric scholars did not conceive that a black civilization was so advanced. The ancient Nubian cultures were sophisticated and cosmopolitan. Fortunately, the truth about this African civilization is gradually emerging as the surviving archaeological remains of Kush reveal a fascinating ancient people unknown to the world. This is the truth of African history, and it should be taught in all schools. Europeans see ancient Greece symbolically as the mother of their civilization (which was also influenced by classical African civilizations). We Africans must see Kush as our great ancestor. Based on his studies, travel, excavations, and fieldwork, Nubia Wardford Polk tells us about it in "Origins of ancient Kush."

NUBIA WARDFORD-POLK, M.A., Anthropologist / Cultural Scientist (Archaeologist)
Nubia Wardford-Polk holds an M.A in Historical Archaeology specializing in Archaeology of the African world, Historic, and Prehistoric worlds. Her involvement and primary research in archaeology, anthropology, and historical research resulted in conclusions regarding the importance of the Ancient Kushite/Merolitic (Ancient Sudan) civilization which predates Egypt.

Professor Walter Williams admonishes black parents to take their children out of the churches immediately. He says the churches are miseducating and brainwashing our children, just as they miseducated and brainwashed our parents.
