In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide.

For a few short weeks, ESPN's The Last Dance was the best piece of basketball content on the planet. Well here's the second best. We watched 1993's MTV Rock and Jock Basketball. The third annual, which overlaps tidily with The Last Dance. Its got Dan Majerle, Rick Mahorn, Ed Lover, Bill Bellamy, Dan Cortez, Tag Team performing at half time, Jon Stewart in the booth, and most importantly it has Kay Gee from Naughty By Nature on The Violators. Kay Gee is an incredibly underrated producer, and after we get through all the insane basketball and 90's pop culture conversation, we look at some lesser-known tracks that he produced.
The audio is of "remote" quality but its very listenable. I know we loved doing it and there will definitely be more Rocks and Jocks in our future.
