Currently Reading: Hip Hop (and other things) by Shea Serrano

Shea Serrano loves Lauryn Hill. In the book he talks about how incredible of an artist she is he also talks about the struggles towards the beginning of her career when she was performing at the Apollo and she was 13 years old and she was booed and she had finished up the song and performance. Then he references the above clip where a few years later Lauryn returns to the Apollo with the Fugees and they’re kind of their vibing out on the stage, but the crowd is not getting as hyped as they need to be. Wyclef stops the show and encourages Lauryn to hit a few bars. She freestyles a little bit and it changes the entire dynamic of the show and creates a new experience. Shea talks about how impactful this performance was in the context of her previous experience, and just now I was rolling through YouTube and stumbled across it and honestly it is as magical as he described in the book. Enjoy.

Primo (prod. Shea Serrano).

Amazon’s coming-of-age Mexican-American family sitcom set in San Antonio, Texas has a feel-good sweetness to its core alongside a barrage of sharply written jokes. Focused on a single mother raising a teenage son who’s struggling to navigate life while growing up with five very overprotective uncles, much of the comedy comes from the specificity of the characterizations and the fun quirks the actors inject into their performances.

Miguel Wants to Fight Trailer

Miguel has never been in a fight. However, with his family about to move, Miguel finds himself wanting to get into a brawl. With the help of his three best friends, maybe he'll be successful.

Miguel Wants to Fight stars Tyler Dean Flores, Christian Vunipola, Imani Lewis, Suraj Partha, Raúl Castillo, Dascha Polanco, and Andrea Navedo. Oz Rodriguez directs from a script by Jason Concepcion and Shea Serrano.

Miguel Wants to Fight hits Hulu on August 16, 2023.

"Primo," which premieres Friday on Amazon’s free streaming service, Freevee, formerly IMDb TV, is based on the life of journalist and author Shea Serrano, 41. He's the author of bestselling pop culture and sports books, including “The Rap Year Book” and “Basketball (and Other Things)” — former President Barack Obama chose the latter as one of his favorite reads in 2017. Both books were turned into docuseries for AMC and Hulu.

"Primo" follows Rafa, a young Mexican American high school student as he balances cultural norms, college aspirations, societal expectations and the hectic home life of being raised by his single mom and his five uncles, all with very different lives and perspectives on manhood.

Serrano, the first Mexican American to be a four-time New York Times bestselling writer, is one of "Primo's" showrunners and creators.

“I hope people, when they watch it, they just feel good and warm and demand 30 more seasons of it," said Serrano, who's also a screenwriter, podcaster and former teacher. “When we were writing the show, like, let’s just make it as specific as possible. And then let’s get a bunch of really talented people, make some room for them and let them go nuts."

In a virtual interview, Serrano said that while the show is based on a Latino character, it's not about having “to say that the family is Latino.”

“We were very aware of what we were wanting to do, and a lot of this stuff is, like, we don’t need to say every single thing; we just will exist, and it’ll be better that way," he said.

Serrano recently signed a television deal with Amazon Studios, the studio behind "Primo," to develop an original and limited podcast series.

He is also behind Netflix’s comedy series "Neon," as well as "Miguel Wants to Fight," his first feature film, which will premiere on Hulu this year.
