Description

This week on A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, we welcome the Garden State's own, Jersey Jinx, to the Upper West Side! We talk with the Complex News host about growing up listening to Blink 182, Joe Budden and anything that was on TRL, selling 50 Cent and Fabolous mixtapes in school, heading to Morehouse to study marketing and advertising, leaving a voicemail for music and advertising kingpin Steve Stoute to speak at a college seminar, and then having Stoute offer up a summer internship in New York City. We discussed how Jinx's parents convinced him to leave the internship and work for Nestle as a midwest sales rep, driving alone through Pennsylvania and Ohio selling chocolate chips, Hot Pockets and dog food, quitting that job and starting over at Decon Records and Mass Appeal magazine, getting courted by Complex, and establishing himself as one of the most trusted young voices in online news thanks to coverage like his 11 days in Ferguson, Missouri. All that, plus Birdman falling asleep in an interview, ridiculous barber stories, the greatest metaphor for Jinx's internships, and much more!
