The Tables Might Wobble: Mr. Al Pete Shares His Journey As A DJ

The murder of Takeoff has shaken the world as a whole, and like many times on Queue Points, we’re asking the question “what can we do?” Well, for this episode we ask the question with all the accolades, the money and the fame, for hip-hop, “is it still all good?”

Joining us in segment 2 is Mr. Al Pete. Al Pete is the 2022 Black Podcasting Awards Best Music Podcast winner for his podcast The Tables Might Wobble. He not only joins us for our core topic, but tells us a bit about how The Tables Might Wobble was born.

You don’t want to miss this conversation from three hip hop elders about the state of the culture.

The music industry isn’t known for its fairness when it comes to artist’s rights. Bad contracts, and flat out lies have been told to get artists into deals that rob them of their livelihoods and in many cases their futures.

J Nolan will be joining us for this interesting conversation about the long winding road of predatory hip-hop contracts.

Beef is as synonymous with hip-hop culture as the five elements themselves. From the earliest days rappers have had to prove who’s the best MC. Over the years raps on records have often turned into violence. Adding in the aspect of money, it can be a recipe for disaster. Join us for that discussion.

DJ Sir Daniel and Jay Ray will also reveal their top 3 dis records and discuss the nomination of Queue Points for Best Black Music Podcast.

Tune in for an informative and entertaining show.

J Nolan is educating fellow rappers about the music business to avoid pitfalls. Being observant and discovering your strengths is important to everyone advancing in their careers. Figuring that out early on can make an incredible difference in how you perceive and pursue your future. Nolan has not only incorporated his interest in educating others into his brand, he’s also created content and written a book (The Pen Game Portfolio) about the topics most important to him.

During this interview he sits down with DJ Sir Daniel and Jay Ray to discuss his career and some of the pitfalls he’s experienced that inform his approach.

Planes, trains (maybe not trains) and automobiles, DJ Sir Daniel and Jay Ray hit the road to be present for The Ambies.
