Shawn Gee

Shawn Gee, man, this guy’s got his fingerprints all over some pretty iconic stuff. You might recognize his name from “Hip Hop: The Songs That Shook America,” which, if you haven’t seen it, is basically a wild ride through the tracks that flipped hip hop on its head. Each episode dives into a single song—think massive hits—and doesn’t just skim the surface. They dig into how these tracks changed the culture, the industry, and honestly, the world. The show doesn’t shy away from getting messy with the details, bringing in artists, producers, and everyone in between to spill the real tea about what went down. It’s not just music history. It’s drama, politics, and a front-row seat to some straight-up creative genius. Then you’ve got “The Aristocats” on his list. Yeah, the animated classic. It’s the one with the classy Parisian cats who end up on a wild adventure thanks to a greedy butler. There’s jazz, there’s chaos, and the cats are seriously cooler than most people I know. The movie’s got that old-school Disney charm—catchy tunes, wild chases, and a whole lot of heart. And don’t sleep on “Covington.” It’s a bit more under the radar, but it shows Gee’s got range. From deep-diving into groundbreaking hip hop to vibing with animated felines and then pulling off something totally different—he’s not just sticking to one lane. The dude’s got some serious versatility, and it shows up in the projects he backs.
