South Shore Ave

Today on the foodie edition of #TheStoop, we ask the question: Which 3 meals would you induct into the West Indian Food Hall of Fame if you had to choose? Along with guest and friend of the podcast Hafiz Gafoor, we review a survey that was conducted by listeners and supporters of South Shore Ave, and induct 3 meals, a drink, and snack/appetizer into the Hall, plus much more.

Today on the Season 2 premiere of #TheStoop: A Mini-Podcast Summer Series, we take you back to the era when Yonge St may have been the most important place to be during Toronto’s Caribana weekend. I invite friends of the podcast Headley & Michael Hyatt as we break down Caribana Fridays on Yonge St. We discuss our memories on the strip, the reasons it became the ultimate hang out spot, the wild events that took place, and when things started to change (for better & for worse), plus more.

We take you back to 1992, where we celebrate a classic movie from the Golden Era. Twenty five years ago (originally released July 4, 1992), Paramount Pictures, Director Reginald Hudlin, and Eddie Murphy released Boomerang, a movie about a player who gets a taste of his own medicine. We discuss the star-studded cast that participated in the movie, Robin vs Halle, Guy Code violations, our favorite scenes & moments from the movie, and a lot more.

Today on The Ave Podcast, we remember the career of Mobb Deep’s Prodigy. Simple as that.

I invited DJ Chris Nice (Grooves & Rhythms Mixshow, Fridays from 2 – 4PM on MyLime Radio), DJ G-Sharp (WTF Throwback Mix, Fridays 8 – 8:30AM on WPGC’s 95.5FM in Washington, D.C.), PressBasketball.Com’s own Will Strickland (The Open Run; Host/Organizer of Full Court 21 Canada), and past contributor to South Shore Ave Shawn Adonis (25th Anniversary of Juice, The MVPs of 2016) to discuss our favorite songs, the impact Prodigy made on Hip Hop, his star turn on Shook Ones Pt II, plus more.

Today on The Ave Podcast, we share our thoughts on the 2017 NBA Finals. We discuss where the Warriors, the Cavs, and the rest of the NBA go from here, if we should embrace the Superteam era, if there are any serious contenders for the throne, if there can be an effective way to stop the Smallball era, plus more.

Today on The Ave Podcast, I invite friend of the podcast Kevin W. (past contributor to South Shore Ave), as we discuss the life of being a die-hard sports fan. We break down the trials and tribulations of following a team through adversity, inept decisions, bad management, bad performances, self-inflicted controversies, and why they still stay loyal to their team. If you guessed that the team we’ll be discussing is the New York Knicks, gold stars for you. Sadly, at this point, it’s more interesting than the NBA Conference Finals right now. You know it’s true. We wrap up the podcast discussing Lonzo Ball’s sneakers, and the 2017 NBA Draft lottery.

Today of The Ave Podcast, I invite friends of the Podcast DJ Chris Nice & Headley, as we discuss the Raptors playoff series with the Milwaukee Bucks, Game 6 predictions, as well our favorite moments from the rest of the NBA Playoff landscape.

Towards the end of the Podcast, Shawn Adonis (past contributor to South Shore Ave) joins me to break down Kendrick Lamar’s new album “DAMN”. We also break down where it ranks among his other albums, how it affects the Hip Hop culture, Drake vs. Kendrick comparisons, plus more.  

Today on The Ave Podcast, I invite Vidal Massiah (Northern Kings AAU Coach/Founder), as we discuss his AAU & Hoop Factory programs, his 2017 Final Four Experience, the golden era of Canadian Basketball, the NBA MVP talks, the 2017 NBA potential superstars, and more.

In the spirit of #FlashbackFriday, we take you back to 1992 where we celebrate one of the most influential movies of the Golden era. Twenty five years ago (originally released Jan 17, 1992), Paramount Pictures and Director Ernest Dickerson released Juice. A groundbreaking movie that not only tells the coming-of-age story of four teenagers from Harlem whose lives were forever changed by one fateful night, but it went on to launch the career of Omar Epps, and sent Tupac Shakur into superstardom.

During this two-part podcast series, I invited DJ Chris Nice (Grooves & Rhythms Mixshow, Fridays from 2 – 4PM on MyLime Radio), DJ G-Sharp (Sunday Night Old School Classics, Sun 7 – 9PM; & WTF Throwback Mix, Fridays 8 – 8:30AM on WPGC’s 95.5FM in Washington, D.C.), past contributor to South Shore Ave Shawn Adonis (The Notorious B.I.G.’s Ready To Die, The MVPs of 2016), and producer Andrew Mambo (ESPN 30 for 30 Podcast), as we discuss the movie, the Soundtrack, the rise of Tupac Shakur, the days of the Soundtrack era for black movies in the 90s, the Power/Respect/Peer Pressure dynamic, plus more.
