New year, clean slate, and a mixtape that refuses to play it safe. We kick things off with ASAP Rocky's Helicopter, a three‑minute charge from Don't Be Dumb that sets a confident tone for a tightly curated run through surprise genres, sharp writing, and risky ideas. From there, we veer into Band of Heathens shifting into country textures, then drop into Iron and Wine's porch‑warm melancholy and Anna of the North's neon‑lit take on love bombing—two songs that hold the tension between wanting connection and protecting your heart.We swing the mood with Gorillaz and Sparks on The Happy Dictator, a sing‑along satire that skewers savior posturing across politics and boardrooms. Then Baz Luhrmann's team reassembles Elvis “DNA” into Wearing That Nightlife Look, all horns, gospel lift, and prime‑era presence. For a different kind of high, Illenium teams with Ryan Tedder on With Your Love, an EDM‑pop crossover built on sturdy songwriting and cathartic drops. We keep it playful with Chinese American Bear's No No Yeah Yeah, a bilingual indie pop hook that's all sunshine and earworm, before turning the amps back up with Silversun Pickups and their familiar, satisfying alt‑rock grit on The Wreckage.Juliana Hatfield offers a gentle anthem for choosing yourself with Harmonizing With Myself—finding rhythm in solitude and reframing pain—then we take a bold detour into French rap with Ninho and Freeze Corleone, where flow and cadence carry the emotion beyond language. Finally, Logic bends format with The Ballad of Rooster Jenkins, a long‑form narrative that spends seven minutes building a world before the beat lands, proving story can still command attention in a skip‑happy era.Tap play, follow our Song of the Day for daily gems, and share this mix with a friend who needs a fresh soundtrack. https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/sam-2026-january-new-music/pl.u-e2kEmIWl941Y1.

תרבות יום א' עם גילי איזיקוביץ וניב הדס: פרק גדוש הפעם. התחלנו עם הסדרה "האביר משבע הממלכות" ב-HBO. זה משהו אחר, ומצחיק מאוד, ולמרות שהיא לא מספיק אלימה ובוטה כפי שאפשר היה לצפות, היא בהחלט שווה צפייה. דיברנו גם על "יריבות לוהטת" שלמרות השם הצולע שלה מדובר בסדר טובה שאפילו כוללת הרבה עירום, ובגלל שאין אפשרות לראות אותה כאן בבינג' היא מדיחה אותנו לעבור על החוק. עם עידו דוד כהן שוחחנו על כתבתו בסוף השבוע ב"גלריה" על תחקירני הטוויטר האלמוניים שנלחמים במכונת הרעל. ניסינו להבין למה ברשתות נדמה שהאמת מצליחה לנצח ולמה בחיים האמיתיים התמונה הרבה יותר עגומה. עם שי רינגל, כתב המוזיקה של "גלריה", דיברנו על האירוויזיון, על התחייה של התחרות בקרב צעירים בישראל ומה הולך להיות בתחרות הקרובה כשאנחנו נחשבים לכל כך מוקצים. בסיבוב המהיר דיברנו על "הפיט", "מסע בין כוכבים – האקדמיה", הספר "ארצם של אחרים" והאלבום החדש של ASAP Rocky.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Swedish pop star Robyn emerged as a phenomenon in the mid 1990s, an ingenue whose work with Max Martin presaged the R&B crossover hits of acts like Britney and the Backstreet Boys. Since her debut, she's released a string of albums that have shaped the sound of dance music as we know it. Now, Robyn is releasing her first new album in eight years, Sexistential, and she's given us three singles made up of her signature combination of thumping bass and ethereal vocals, while innovating into new personal –and vulnerable — territory. With raps about IVF, references to Blondie, a return to her collaboration with Max Martin, and our introduction of “drum n grace” to the lexicon, this episode is manna for Robyn fans and tyros alike. Stick around as we unveil a new feature, “Quick Hits,” a down-and-dirty carousel ride through the most interesting new releases, from ASAP Rocky to Zach Bryan.

In this episode of Off the Screen, the full crew reunites and opens with music talk, reacting to ASAP Rocky's first album release in years and his upcoming tour. While opinions are split on the project's direction and energy, the discussion highlights how Rocky's sound has evolved and what fans expected after such a long hiatus.The conversation shifts into sports, touching on recent football playoff drama and college championship heartbreak before transitioning into the NBA. A major focus is Jimmy Butler's ACL injury, with the group debating how realistic a late-career comeback would be and what it means for Golden State's future roster strategy and cap situation.From there, the episode dives into a spirited Warriors segment. The hosts question front office decisions, roster construction, and whether the organization has maximized Steph Curry's remaining championship window. This naturally leads into a broader legacy debate: if Steph wins another title, does he enter serious all-time conversations with LeBron? The group breaks down championships, longevity, scoring impact, and how Steph's influence on the three-point era reshaped modern basketball.The episode blends humor, heated takes, and deep basketball analysis, making it a classic Off the Screen mix of culture, sports, and debate.00:00 — Podcast Intro + Full Crew Reunion 01:00 — ASAP Rocky New Album Reaction 01:30 — ASAP Rocky Tour + Ticket Talk 02:00 — Hip-Hop Debate (Rocky, J Cole, Big Sean) 03:00 — Music Industry Talk + Artist Popularity 05:40 — Rocky Album Review + First Impressions 07:00 — Testing Album Comparison + Sound Evolution 08:00 — Expectations vs Reality (Rocky Project) 09:00 — College Football Championship Reactions 09:40 — Bar Watch Party + Fan Energy 10:20 — School Rivalries + Program Pride 10:50 — Florida Schools + NBA Alumni 12:00 — NBA Transition 12:20 — Celtics Tickets + Fan Spending 13:15 — Jimmy Butler ACL Injury News 13:45 — Injury Recovery Timeline + Age Factor 14:30 — Jimmy Butler Career Impact Debate 15:00 — Star Injury Comeback Comparisons 21:00 — Golden State Warriors Roster Problems 21:30 — Contract Issues + Trade Rumors 22:00 — Warriors Front Office Criticism 22:40 — Steph Curry Championship Window 23:20 — Steph Curry vs LeBron Debate 24:00 — NBA Era Dominance vs Longevity 25:00 — Championship Difficulty Comparison 26:30 — Supporting Cast vs Carry Jobs 27:30 — All-Time Scoring Rankings 28:10 — Steph Curry Shooting Impact 29:00 — Legacy Debate Wrap-Up
Join POUR for a chaotic and hilarious "Live From The Hive" pre-game show! The crew kicks things off by addressing the elephant in the room—being "relegated" to the opening act in their own studio before the massive Texans vs. Patriots playoff clash. Tensions run high as Silk defends his Patriots against a room full of Texans fans, sparking a heated debate about CJ Stroud's recent shaky performance and whether the team should even consider the backup quarterback. The energy shifts when Jeff Shelly arrives late with a questionable story about waking up in the hospital and drops a bold prediction for a 17-point Texans victory. Between the sports takes, the squad dives into Houston's rapid rise as a cultural hotspot ("Implant City") and pivots to a passionate music discussion. They break down J. Cole's new album and get into a divided debate over ASAP Rocky's experimental new sound.

Hosted by Analytic Dreamz, this breakdown explores the project's experimental edge, playful production, and bold themes of fatherhood, fame, industry clones, and unresolved rivalries.At the center is the standout track "Stole Ya Flow" (track 4), featuring Danny Elfman production, where Rocky delivers sharp bars widely interpreted as targeting Drake—accusing style theft with the chorus "First you stole my flow, so I stole yo' bitch," while referencing Rihanna, fatherhood, and alleged cosmetic procedures ("N****s gettin' BBLs, lucky we don't body-shame" / "My baby mama Rihanna, so we unbothered"). Rocky addressed the implied diss on The New York Times' Popcast, saying "I think we all know" and showing no interest in reconciliation: "It don't even need to be."The 15-track album (runtime ~1 hour) boasts a Tim Burton-designed cover and eclectic features/production from Brent Faiyaz, Doechii, Tyler the Creator, Gorillaz, Westside Gunn, will.i.am, Thundercat, and more. Highlights include innovative sampling on "Stay Here" (Brent Faiyaz), melodic vibes on "Punk Rocky," and high-concept cuts like "Robbery" and "Whiskey (Release Me)." Critics call it stronger and less self-serious than Testing, channeling "what 2011 Rocky would be making in 2026," though some experiments feel overdone.Amid family life with Rihanna (sharing three children: RZA, Riot, and Rocki Irish born September 2025) and no tour announced, Don't Be Dumb cements Rocky's status as a style icon and hip-hop force—personally unbothered and musically victorious in ongoing narratives.Join Analytic Dreamz for this no-holds-barred analysis of the beef timeline, track-by-track insights, and why this comeback matters in 2026 rap culture.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Today's Homie Helpline is messy- with a foo who's trying to choose between his girl and the Superclásico. And whether it’s ASAP Rocky’s mom playing matchmaker or Clayton Kershaw lying about retirement, this episode proves that mothers—and "studious fools"—always know best. [Edited by @iamdyre
ASAP Rocky finally released Don't Be Dumb, with fans widely reading track four “Stole Ya Flow” as a pointed Drake diss accusing him of stealing Rocky's style and throwing subliminal shots tied to Rihanna, though Rocky later said it's “whoever feel like it's about them.” Prince William and Kate Middleton reportedly hired crisis manager Liza Ravenscroft as a preemptive move amid fears of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's potential UK return, with reports framing it as damage control over security, public perception, and a possible royal “crisis.” Kai Cenat says he's taking a break from streaming to fully focus on fashion design, revealing he's already sewn his own hoodies and is committed to developing the craft long-term rather than launching a quick brand.

On this episode of the Mallory Bros Podcast, the guys kick things off with a recap of Christmas morning, talking gifts, family time, being with the kids, and everything that comes with the holidays. That conversation naturally turns into a bigger question: is the Christmas magic gone? From there, the bros debate whether it's acceptable to bring a gaming console to the birth of your child after a tweet from Terrell went viral and sparked heavy discussion online. They then shift to serious news, reacting to Anthony Joshua's tragic accident in Nigeria, paying respect to those who lost their lives, and unpacking the circumstances surrounding the event. Next up, the guys talk about A$AP Rocky announcing a January release date for his upcoming album Don't Be Dumb—hopefully. They discuss whether the album will actually drop, what to expect creatively, and how Rocky's sound may evolve years after his prime run. The conversation then turns to Beyoncé officially becoming a billionaire, which opens a deeper discussion about wealth, ethics, and whether billionaires should be celebrated. That leads into a debate about dating etiquette: is it ever okay to ask for a box on the first date? Terrell pushes back on the idea that it signals financial instability and offers a different perspective. The two clash ideas here. Terrance then asks whether it's an underrated blessing to be with a woman who doesn't post on Instagram, following another trending conversation online. The episode wraps with a Cheers to 2026, as the bros share reflections on the year, personal resolutions, and goals for the Realest 9 moving forward. They close with thoughts on Draymond Green's take on playing NBA games on Christmas, some NFL talk as we prep for the last game of the season, and a small but common JD5 debate to take us out,.

Spike Lee and Denzel Washington connected again for the movie Hightes 2 Lowest. Upcoming rapper/actor Asap Rocky also appeared in the movie to bring his flavor to it. The movie seemed to get hardly any reviews online and people aren't talking much about it, in my opinion. In this podcast, Cool Water goes in to why the movie just didn't connect with the larger audience. Spike Lee has a long history of making movies that miss the mark and this movie seems to be another.

Captured in a Lamborghini dashboard glow, the dark trap beat with heavy 808s echoes Boi-1da vibes, delivering confident, auto-tuned bars: “Talk about Drake then you get a whole lot, talk about Drake and you get you some streams”; “Man how the fck is your day one gonna testify so you can sit in a box”; “Either you ain't never did sht for your brothers or they must've forgot.” Fans decode shots at A$AP Rocky amid their simmering beef—Rocky's 2021 assault accusation by A$AP Relli (charges dropped 2022, civil suit ongoing), 2024 “culture vulture” jabs during Drake-Kendrick drama. Timed post-Drake's October 14 UMG defamation loss over “Not Like Us,” it racked 165K+ X views, 100K+ interactions in 24 hours, surging old tracks 15-20%. Reposts, reactions, and edits flood platforms, with pro-Drake camps hyping ICEMAN's Q4 drop (potential PartyNextDoor, 21 Savage features) as a combative rebrand.

For the first time in nineteen years, Oscar-winning director Spike Lee and Oscar-winning actor Denzel Washington have re-united for their fifth collaboration after Mo Better Blues, Malcolm X, He Got Game, and Inside Man. Washington stars as David, a New York City music mogul with ONE goal at the outset of this story: to retain full control of the record label he had built over the past several decades to reconnect with the music. However some other mysterious figure has other ideas as he calls David out of the blue claiming to suddently have kidnapped the mogul's son Trey (Aubrey Joseph) and he is demanding a LOT of money in return. :o In his corner is personal driver/bodyguard Paul played by Oscar-nominee Jeffrey Wright. And what results is a high-energy thriller/musical/New York movie which also happens to be a loose remake of Akira Kurosawa's 1963 classic High and Low. Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
Spike Lee and Denzel Washington first worked together on “Mo' Better Blues,” released in 1990. Washington starred as a trumpet player trying to make a living in jazz clubs; Lee, who directed the film, also played the musician's hapless manager. They later worked together on “Malcolm X” and other films, but it has been nearly twenty years since their last collaboration, the hugely successful “Inside Man.” So the new film “Highest 2 Lowest” is something of a reunion. “I've become a better director, working with Mr. Denzel Washington,” Lee tells David Remnick. “It's not about just what's on the script. It has to be deeper than that.” “Highest 2 Lowest” is an adaptation of a 1963 movie by Akira Kurosawa, who has been a major influence on Lee. “The script came to me first,” Washington explains. “I hoped that Spike would be interested in it, so I called him up. He said, ‘Send it to me.' He read it. He said, ‘Let's make it,' and here we are.” Washington plays a music mogul targeted in a ransom plot; the feature is a crime drama with a message. “This film is about morals, and what someone will do and won't do,” Lee says. The audience “will ask themselves, ‘If you're in this situation, would you pay the ransom?' ”
The prosecution called one of its last witnesses -- personal assistant Brendan Paul, who testified he was arrested last spring because he covered for Combs when federal agents found something illegal in his bag. Plus an interview with Joe Tacopina, who represented Michael Jackson, Meek Mill, and ASAP Rocky, but turned down Combs's case. He rates both legal teams' performance so far and tells us what his closing argument would be.If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: NBCNews.com/Diddy
