  In this powerful and urgent episode of Not All Hood, Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Candace Kelley sit down with viral rapper and political educator YellowPain to unpack the systemic roots of voter apathy, the complexity of political language, and why local elections matter more than we think. Known for his groundbreaking video “My Vote Don’t Count,” YellowPain breaks down how propaganda, lack of education, and generational disillusionment have left many Black Americans disconnected from the political process. He shares how his personal wake-up call came from a cousin running for Congress and how that conversation sparked a mission to educate through music.

  In this powerful episode of Not All Hood, Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Candace Kelley sit down with Jamila Sams, an educator and advocate transforming the way young people learn through hip-hop culture.

Jamila dives deep into the systemic challenges in education, pointing out how white supremacy and outdated teaching methods create barriers for Black and Brown students. She discusses the importance of critical thinking, engagement, and allowing students to show up as their authentic selves. Malcolm shares his personal approach to parenting, emphasizing raising a child who is expressive and self-aware rather than simply obedient. They explore the real reason students disengage in class, the differences in cultural attitudes toward education, and how teachers must model vulnerability and curiosity to create an environment where students thrive. Jamila also explains how the school-to-prison pipeline is fueled by media and policy, and how hip-hop can be a tool for empowerment, not just entertainment. From debating whether rap lyrics should be used in court to discussing how teachers can regain control of their classrooms, this conversation is a must-watch for educators, parents, and anyone invested in the future of education. #educationmatters #HipHopInEducation #BlackExcellence #JamilaSams #notallhood #malcolmjamalwarner #CandaceKelly #nahmorethanamonth #companyx #schooltoprisonpipeline #TeachingIsAnArt #ElevateTheCulture #criticalthinking----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not All Hood (NAH) podcast takes a look at the lived experiences and identities of Black people in America.
