2Pac Saved My Life: A Story I’ve Never Told

This week on A Pod Named Kickback, we go from some seriously disturbing dating deception to one of our most personal conversations yet. We kick things off with the wild story of a man who allegedly pretended to be a San Francisco 49er to con women—and ask the obvious question: HOW THE HELL DOES SOMEBODY GET AWAY WITH THAT?!

Then we get real for Suicide Awareness Month. Nile Nu’Man opens up about his own suicide attempt and the role 2Pac’s music played in talking him through one of the darkest moments of his life. Jacq shares her own suicide-attempt story, and the crew talks honestly about recognizing the signs, finding someone to talk to, and the steps toward healing. It’s vulnerable, uncomfortable, powerful—and a reminder that sometimes simply having somebody there can make the difference.

Then we get back to the madness: Keefe D is found guilty in the 2Pac murder case, Gary, Indiana finds itself dealing with another extended power outage, Tyler Perry gets the Nipsey Hussle Award, Plus, our Eargasm/Netflix & Chill segment takes on Varnell Hill, Silo, Stephen A. Smith vs. Jemele Hill & Cari Champion, and the music worlds of The Game, Prince, Fat Joe and Erykah Badu. Real talk, wild stories, pop culture and absolutely no brakes.
