Touré
Prior to writing articles for Rolling Stone, the NY Times, the New Yorker, the Washington Post, Time, Ebony, and Vogue, Touré was a co-host of “The Cycle” on MSNBC (2012-15), the host of the Hiphop Shop on Fuse (2009-12), as well as the Black Carpet on BET (2006-08). He’s penned five books, including I Would Die 4 U: Why Prince Became An Icon (2013), Who’s Afraid of Post-Blackness? What It Means To Be Black Now (2012), Never Drank the Kool-Aid: Essays (2006), Soul City (2004), and The Portable Promised Land (2003). Not to shabby for someone who originally got laid off by Rolling Stone for dropping out of college his junior year.
