Lamar clinched five awards for his track "Not Like Us," including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Rap Performance, Best Rap Song, and Best Music Video, bringing his career total to 22 Grammy Awards, tying him with U2 and Vince Gill.

Festival Season on Roadcase is finally upon us and we're kicking it off from Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago!! For this Part 1 from Pitchfork, I talked to singer, rapper and multi-genre artist, Tkay Maizda and also had a fun convo with the amazing Riot Girrrrls themselves, Molly Neuman and Allison Wolfe of Bratmobile. Tkay has achieved global recognition already in her brief career, having won NME's Best Australian Solo Artist in 2022. She was also nominated for an ARIA award for Best Rap Song for her 2023 single "Silent Assassin."  But accolades alone do not do her justice; Tkay is a joyous human and a tireless artist, and she talked to me about striving to create and perform at the highest levels. We discussed what it was like growing up in Australia, moving frequently from city to city, how she stayed true to herself and her art.Molly and Allison of Bratmobile are back playing live after a 20-year hiatus and are both super excited to be performing again. Having been at the hub of the Riot Girl movement in the early 90s, Bratmobile waved the flag for the DIY spirit and Girl Power. They both talked to me about their fierce advocacy for Women's Rights and for the inclusion of Women in the music industry both in performance and production roles, and talked to me about all the life they've lived since starting up the band over 30 years ago!This is a great episode with these super compelling artists featuring tons of great stories and tales from the road.  Check it out now!!For more information on Roadcase: https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comOr contact Roadcase by email:  info@roadcasepod.comRoadcase theme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

The boys drink and review Jailbreak's White Russian cream ale, then discuss five topics in five minutes. #1 -- Confusibles. The boys review some words people commonly use incorrectly. That vs. which. Farther vs. further. etc. #2 -- Swiss fat lesbians. A journalist was sentenced to 60 days in jail for calling a self-described fat lesbian a fat lesbian. Which is true. She is a fat lesbian. But to call her one is somehow hate speech. Which is a ridiculous concept to begin with. #3 -- Is "back to the office" a tool of the patriarchy? Here's the logic. Men are more willing to work jobs they don't like, put in more hours, and put up with crap than women are. Women have more emphasis on work-life balance. Working from home is better for work-life balance, so forcing employees back to the office disproportionately affects women. #4 -- The greatest rap song of all time! Ben Shapiro (aka Dr. Dreidel) joins with Tom McDonald to make a politically conservative rap song. It ends up topping the charts!! Crowhill is not impressed. #5 -- The "He gets us" Superbowl ad. It's pretty lame, and it seems to reaffirm unfair criticisms of Christians, but on the positive side, it's possibly getting people interested in Jesus.

In collaboration with friend and producer Ryan Lewis, Ben's career reached an entirely new level after the release of their massively successful album The Heist. Ushered by the viral music video for their hit song "Thrift Shop" and assisted by alt radio DJs across the US, Macklemore and Lewis launched to the top of the Billboard charts and won multiple Grammy Awards for Best New Artist, Best Rap Album, Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance. Ben has continued to grow and collaborate with some of the industry's top talent, expressing gratitude for his platform to speak about important issues and opportunities to make a positive impact on his community. In our conversation, Ben talks about the intensity of immediate fame, the absolute joy of performing, and the inherent entrepreneurial spirit responsible for his success. And on a surprisingly related tangent, you golfers out there can thank him for creating a whole new aesthetic to brandish out on the green. Thanks for tuning in to episode 26. We hope you enjoy it!

According to a recent Instagram Live video, Soulja Boy is ready to leave the rap game behind for good and concentrate on becoming an actor as his new docuseries, “The Life of Draco” hits the internet. But is this the actual truth or just the next exaggeration in a long line of them? Look, on the Bright Side of Fame Soulja Boy's early 2000's hit “Crank That” would not only top the Billboard Hot 100 and get nominated for a Grammy for Best Rap Song, it would also become a piece of history and be recognized as what's likely the first viral rap track of all time. But even back then, Soulja Boy was messing with us. Do any of you even remember how you heard that song for the first time? Let me remind you that you probably got tricked into listening to it with a little bait-and-switch. Because way back when in the early days of the new millennium when programs like Limewire were a big thing, Soulja Boy came up with the ingenious idea to upload his song to file-sharing sites under the name of more popular singles and artists so that listeners had no idea they were actually downloading his track until they were already listening to it! That's right, the Dark Side of Fame is something that Soulja Boy is entirely comfortable with, and over the course of his career he would not only continue to engage in scam after scam but he'd also get caught up in a weapons possession charge and even be accused of some truly atrocious crimes perpetrated against women.

This podcast covers New Girl Season 2, Episode 22, Bachelorette Party, which originally aired on April 9, 2013 and was directed by Matt Sohn and written by Kay Cannon and Sophia Lear.Here's a quick recap of the episode:After the loft receives their wedding invites and finds out that Cece's wedding is in 3 weeks, Jess plans Cece her “perfect” bachelorette party. Meanwhile, Schmidt goes looking for a girlfriend to bring a plus one to Cece's wedding.We discuss Pop Culture References such as:Bachelor / Bachelorette Parties - In this episode, Jess throws Cece a Bachelorette Party. Additional Pop Culture References such as:Gérard Depardieu - When Schmidt busts into Cece's apartment, rather than answer who he is to Cece's Auntie, he says he's Gérard Depardieu. Gérard Xavier Marcel Depardieu is a French actor known for performances in The Last Metro, Police, Jean de Florette, and Cyrano de Bergerac. He was granted citizenship of Russia in January 2013 and became a cultural ambassador of Montenegro in the same month.Alyssa Milano - ​​When trying to convince Cece he could get a partner by the time of her wedding, he mentioned he “once figured out Alyssa Milano's phone number just by randomly choosing numbers.” Alyssa Jayne Milano is an American actress, producer, singer, author, and activist. As an actor, she's known for her roles in Who's the Boss?, Melrose Place, Charmed, and My Name Is Earl. As a political activist, she's known for her role in the Me Too movement.Jane Lynch - It was joked that Nick looked like Jane Lynch while wearing his dad's yellow track suit. Jane Marie Lynch is an American actress, comedian, and author. She is known for starring as Sue Sylvester (who wore a lot of tracksuits) in the Fox musical comedy series Glee, which earned her a Primetime Emmy Award. In 2013, Lynch received the 2,505th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the television category. [Robin] Williams - Shivrang is “baffled” why the US “refuses to embrace Robbie Williams”. Robin McLaurin Williams was an American actor and comedian. Known for his improvisational skills and the wide variety of characters he created, he is regarded as one of the best comedians of all time. “Candy Shop” - 50 Cent - Alfredo, the stripper, played this song when he was trying to do his strip dance. "Candy Shop" is the second single by rapper 50 Cent from his second commercial album, The Massacre. "Candy Shop" peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming 50 Cent's third number one single and fifth top-ten single. The song was nominated for Best Rap Song at the 2006 Grammy Awards and the music video was nominated for Best Male Video at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards.We also cover Schmidt explaining why he goes to Booty Burn Bootcamp as our “Schmidtism” this episode. For our “Not in the 2020s” we discuss Schmidt and Elizabeth's relationship, how Nick and Winston tried to get a picture of Shivrang's penis, Schmidt demanding a +1, and Schmidt thinking women are supposed to want commitment. For our “Yes in the 2020s” we highlight Schmidt apologizing to Cece. We also give a brief look into Merritt Wever (Elizabeth), the Guest Star we feature in this episode.Also in this episode were the following guest stars who we do not discuss in the podcast: Satya Bhabha (Shivrang - Previously discussed in S2E18), June Diane Raphael (Sadie - Previously discussed in S1E15), Rebecca Ballantine Reid (Nadia - Previously discussed in S1E22), Lauren Dair Owens (Young Jess - Previously discussed in S2E5), Sudha Desai (Grandmother), Frank Cappello (Male Stripper), Britni Stanwood (Model - Previously Appeared in S2E5), Margarita Kallas (Model #2), Eugenia Kuzmina (Svetlana), Talia Toms (Hot Girl #1), Katie Walder (Cheryl - Previously Appeared in S1E8), Cynthia Murell (Hot Girl #3), Jaidan Jiron (Young Cece), and Roma Chugani (Ankita).In this podcast, we call out a few camera goofs like how you see Jess say “Not Now Alfredo” but don't actually hear her speak (around 13:20) and how when Schmidt knocks on Elizabeth's door, it was never closed (around 15:50). We also share this article (which contains spoilers) where we learned that Elizabeth serves as a foil for Cece because Elizabeth tries to make Schmidt a better guy. Elizabeth Meriwether also mentions the inspiration for the idea of the “dead dad pass.”While not discussed in the podcast, we noted other references in this episode including:Shandy - When Shivrang is hanging out at the bar with Nick and Winston, he asks them if they want a shandy. A shandy is a beer mixed with either a lemon or lemon-lime flavored beverage that is popular in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Canada.This episode got a 7/10 Rating from Kritika whose favorite character was Shivrang and Kelly rated this episode a 7.5/10 and her favorite character was Jess!Thanks for listening and stay tuned for Episode 23!Music: "Hotshot” by scottholmesmusic.comFollow us on Twitter, Instagram or email us at whosthatgirlpod@gmail.com!Website: https://smallscreenchatter.com/

Some things in life and business are to be expected. In this weeks news, there was a little bit of both involved - good and not so good. This "expectation" is in order for congratulations. Singer and reality TV regular Ray J is set to become a first-time father. Ray J and Princess Love wed in August, 2016. An additional congrats, goes to rapper Rick Ross as he has scored a high-profile deal with luxury rap watchmaker Hublot to named the official brand ambassador the company, which was established in 1976. Meek Mill and his legal issues seemed to be gaining some positive progress with names such as Jay-Z and Rev. Al Sharpton lending time to his probation violation case via their platforms. Unexpectedly, he hit yet another roadblock to freedom after a legal motion aimed at hopefully gaining freedom was denied. Keep hope alive for Meek! Donald Trump’s actions will forever keep him in a sunken place. Native Americans have confirmed that he uses the word Pocahontas as an offensive term used towards Senator Elizabeth Warren. “You were here long before any of us were here, although we have a representative in Congress who they say was here a long time ago. They call her Pocahontas,” he joked. This guy has a lot of nerve! Prince Harry is engaged to Meghan Markle. We’re only reporting on this for cultural purposes because the actress is a Black woman, lol. Congrats to them though! The 60th Annual Grammy nominations are in and we have to admit they are pretty lit. Cardi B has been nominated for two Grammys in the categories of Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song and SZA has racked up a total of five nominations making her the most nominated woman for next year’s awards. The “Ctrl” singer is up for Best New Artist, Best Rap/Sung Performance, Best R&B Song, Best Urban Contemporary Album, and Best R&B Performance. We hope this dream will come true for them both at the 2018 award show taking place January 28...fingers crossed! How Does Your Upbringing Influence Your Behavior In Your Relationships? The crew had something interesting things to say on this one, lol. Get caught up with this and more next Wednesday, 9-10pm!
