I know everything I am looking for is here, watch movies, watch series, education, games, exams, news, current events and many more.
“#Actor Wood Harris talks to Jalen Rose about Tupac, ‘Creed’” If you’re a living breathing, human, you are a fan of “The Wire.” That means you are a fan of my next “Renaissance Man” guest, actor Wood Harris, who played ruthless drug kingpin, Avon Barksdale in the iconic show. (Rest in Peace, Michael K. Williams.)…
“#Jalen Rose talks school choice and unions with Steve Perry” Since we’re in back-to-school mode, and I’m fresh off welcoming students back to Jalen Rose Leadership Academy after a year of virtual teaching, I wanted to dedicate an episode of “Renaissance Man” to someone who has inspired me in the education game. A decade ago,…
“#Tami Roman talks pioneering reality TV with Jalen Rose” On last week’s “Renaissance Man,” we had Ice Cube tell us how John Singleton launched him from a rapper with no acting experience into a bona fide Tinseltown talent with his role as Doughboy in “Boyz n the Hood.” This week, we have “The Real World:…
“#Ice Cube tells Jalen Rose how he became Doughboy in ‘Boyz n the Hood’” We all know my “Renaissance Man” guest as Ice Cube or O’Shea Jackson Sr. But initially before he went Hollywood in “Boyz n the Hood,” he wasn’t so certain the name Doughboy would be forever linked to his body of work….
“#’Pose’ star Mj Rodriguez talks to Jalen Rose about her Newark roots” I do love me an old soul. And my next “Renaissance Man” guest embodies that spirit from her oozing self-confidence to her taste in music. Actress and singer Mj Rodriguez is only 30, but her musical roots suggest someone born in a much…
“#Makeup maven Bobbi Brown talks origins with Jalen Rose” She’s often confused for a certain member of New Edition, but “Every Little Step” Bobbi Brown takes, she proves she’s a singular talent who shouldn’t be mistaken for anyone. Of course, the makeup maven and my “Renaissance Man” guest takes this association in stride and with…
“#Sacha Jenkins tells Jalen Rose about the Rick James we don’t know” Rick James was a self-professed SuperFreak who got a second life in pop culture thanks to Dave Chappelle and his “I’m Rick James, bitch” sketches with Charlie Murphy. But he was also a nuanced man with a very unique journey who moved fluidly…
“#Wrestler Titus O’Neil tells Jalen Rose his shocking birth story” This man could have a million excuses for not turning into a functioning member of society. He indulged not one of them. He never became a victim of his own history. Instead he became a superstar WWE wrestler, philanthropist, author and a nominee for ESPN’s…
“#Tommie Smith recounts his historic 1968 Olympics gold with Jalen Rose” I asked my next guest, Tommie Smith, who is arguably one of the bravest athletes of the 20th century, if he listened to music before competitions. His answer was Sam Cooke. That was poignant. Sure, sprinter Tommie Smith was a man of his era….
“#Wolfgang Puck tells Jalen Rose about his abusive childhood” When we go to a restaurant, we order and get the dish fully formed. If it’s a fancy, Michelin-rated spot, the edible presentation might look like something that could hang in the Louvre. We eat it without any thought of how the ingredients were sourced, mixed…
