Check out the latest edition of “Scene And Heard TV” hosted by Mara The
Hip-Hop Socialite featuring Killer Mike (aka Mike Bigga) and the daughter
of Jam Master Jay, Tyra Myricks.

Check out some of the highlights:

Killer Mike on why his current label situation with T.I.’s Grand Hustle
Records is a better fit for him at this point in his career and how Big
Boi’s Purple Ribbon Label could’ve been a better fit for him:

'Cause I’ve grown and matured. Purple Ribbon probably could’ve been a
better fit for me if I’d had a little more business savvy and a little
more patience at the time. And if we'd all at Purple Ribbon would've
realized how dramatically the industry was changing, but sometimes you
have to get out in the wilderness - you know I'm from the country, so I
use a lot of biblical analogies - but you have to get out to kind of find
your own way and become who you're supposed to be.

Mike also calls Bill Cosby, (who’s long been a harsh critic of the black
community) to task:

“When you call people to task, you're going to be called to task. If you
call the black community to task for not properly educating their
children, then you have to acknowledge the fact that the parents of these
children were also educated in the public school system, and if these
children are being undereducated at home, it probably means their parents
were undereducated in the public school system. So therefore, you giving
$25 million to a college doesn't make as much sense as you giving $25
million to a kindergarten class to properly develop the talented 10 that
could systemically change our community.”

“The schools are responsible for teaching children, but if you have 80
years of undereducated children, how do you reverse that?”

“If you don't name all the ingredients of the soup, stop criticizing the
cook. If you don't deal with the problem as a whole, stop pointing at poor
black parents because what you're really doing is pointing at poor black
women. You're not pointing at poor black men, because they're in jail or
estranged, but what you're doing is you're pointing at women, and it's
wrong, and it's borderline masochonistic and sexist, and no one is dealing
with that.”

Plus, Tyra Myricks speaks on the investigation into her father’s death
nearly 9 years later and Russell Simmons.
