Imagine being a kid and learning about the genius of @nas at 5. Imagine later coming into your own and having your parents buy you albums like Stillmatic and God’s Son. Fast forward 15 years and you’re chatting with him on the phone for your dream publication @billboard . It’s a 15-minute phone interview, but it’s a win nonetheless. You tell yourself, it’s not enough, saying, β€œI need to meet him one day in person and create that moment.” You find a teammate, but, more importantly, a brother in @jasoncajohnson along the way three years later and decide to cultivate stories post-COVID for the people to hear and see. Though you think it’s a long shot,you go after Nas and @hitboy after they secured Esco’s first-ever Grammy for King’s Disease. You bring him and Hit to a sold-out @grammymuseum for a conversation about their Award-Winning album.No one has yet interviewed them together, but you say fuck it, nothing is impossible in your world, right? But wait, there’s more. You think this is the climax to your story until you get a call to moderate a conversation with him a year later at the @tribeca film festival two days after your birthday. Mayor Adams comes up to you afterwards and congratulates you for your impressive interview. You’re literally breaking bread with Nas at dinner with your team to celebrate. Crazy thing is, the job isn’t finished though. You think even wilder. What if you could put him on a cover that he never once graced in his entire 30-year career on the 50th anniversary of hip-hop? Doesn’t sound too crazy, right?

🚨🚨🚨New Cover Alert 🚨🚨🚨

My goal in 2023 is simple: create big moments. I only want to do elevated shit and push us further as a brand. I think so far, our @billboardhiphop team has done that and then some with our Top 50 Greatest Rappers of All Time list going viral, our YoungBoy cover making noise last week and now this digital cover story I had the honor of writing ✍🏽

50 Cent made my adolescence. I wore G-Unit headbands, I had G-Unit sneakers, and I violated my Sony CD player blasting bootlegs of 50 Cent Is The Future and Guess Who’s Back mixtapes. When he dropped Get Rich Or Die Tryin, I, like everyone else thought I was a member of G-Unit. What he did for my teenage years can never be replicated again.

I β€” no pun intended β€” patiently waited for Get Rich’s 20th anniversary to pull this trigger because I knew this was a cultural moment that we needed to tell. This was an album that rocked the culture and remains one of my favorite masterpieces today. And what 50 is doing now on the TV side is the cherry on top to what has been a hall of fame career.

Last month, I went down to Miami to speak with @future about his banner year in music. Though I’ve interviewed Future twice before, I’ll admit, I had a little bit of nerves this time around because I wanted to make sure I truly pulled back the curtains on one of rap’s most intriguing and polarizing superstars. I have to credit @ebsdaboss for not only her massive wins this year with Future and Gunna, but also entrusting us with such a story and participating alongside her client at the beginning of the interview. It was an unorthodox approach β€” and one I’ve never done for a cover storyβ€” but it worked to perfection. Hearing them gush about each other’s wins and humble beginnings was deep and inspiring. It also led to probably the deepest one on one conversation I’ve had with an artist about life since my chat with Nipsey back in 2018. Not only we did talk about Future’s path into rap immorality, but this being the happiest time of his life. The dude embodies a rockstar persona and is loving every second of it. Along with that, we also bonded on the importance of power and what that looks like for him on the executive side. And yes, to those asking, we spoke about love and if he can balance his dreams of one day having a wife with his rock and roll lifestyle. With that being side, take a read and give Pluto his πŸ’

Last year, I started a wrestling x hip-hop column called Mic Drops & Elbow Drops.

It came from a challenge to use my voice more. I was already landing A-tier interviews, but I needed to push myself as a writer. Think bigger. Say more.

So I built something different.

Entry 001 β€” my debut piece β€” was an ode to John Cena’s debut album You Can’t See Me and its 20th anniversary. To me, it’s a project that bridged hip-hop and wrestling before that was even a thing. But writing about it wasn’t enough.

I kept asking myself: how do we really honor that moment and make something special? After talking with my WWE road dog @fencetaken , we decided to gift him a plaque celebrating You Can’t See Me turning 20.

After 7 months of pushing, following up, and not taking no for an answer… we finally got Cena his plaque.

And we got to hand it to him and simply say, β€œthank you.”

This wasn’t just a bucket list interview.

This was proof that if I really want to make something happen…I fucking can. And I fucking will.

Entry 021 of Mic Drops & Elbow Drops featuring an interview with Cena is on the way. 🀞🏽

Happy Mania 🫑
