Podcasts about biggie

Join hosts Stacy, Scott, D, and special guest comedian Blaq Ron (2018 HBO ABFF Comedy Wings Grand Champion and writer for MTV's Wild 'N Out) for an insightful, hilarious deep dive into 90s music, films, and pop culture.   In this episode, the crew kicks off with the origin story behind Stacy's iconic "Witty Hutton" T-shirt before diving into 90s cinema and gender dynamics. Blaq Ron breaks down the concept of "epigenesis," re-evaluates Michael Beach's infamous character roles in Waiting to Exhale and Soul Food, and compares modern "Passport Bros" to How Stella Got Her Groove Back.   The conversation then shifts to the bootleg CD era, remembering Napster, burned CDs, and how underground classics like Cell's "It's Goin' Down" moved culture without traditional sales figures. Later in the show, the crew reacts to Jay-Z's commentary on the Tupac and Biggie feud in his HBO documentary series with Rick Rubin, addresses the critiques surrounding Nia Long's Hollywood Walk of Fame star, unpacks Joe Jackson's hidden daughter Joh'Vonnie Jackson, and reflects on the rise, industry pressure, and legacy of Boyz II Men.  Chapters 0:00 Stacy's "Witty Hutton" T-Shirt Origin Story 2:30 Comedian Blaq Ron Explains "Epigenesis" & Language 8:23 Gender Dynamics in 90s Cinema: Michael Beach & Waiting to Exhale 15:24 Passport Bros vs. How Stella Got Her Groove Back 24:02 The Bootleg Era: Napster, Barbershop CDs & Cell's "It's Goin' Down" 29:27 Jay-Z's HBO Doc: Unpacking the Tupac & Biggie Feud Narrative 41:12 90s Nostalgic TV: Mama's Family, MASH* & Cultural Shifts 46:04 Michael J.

A Mediocre Time with Tom & Dan: Episode Notes Episode: "69 Come Sticks" (#894) Hosts: Tom Vann, Dan Dennis | Guest: Ross McCoy (comedian, The Orlando Talk Show) Sponsors / Ad Reads Bart the Realtor / The Bart Marek Team: Opened with a host doing a "cool dude" character, then Bart called in. He said Central Florida real estate is having a rough, locked-up year because 30-year rates are near 7.25%. Cash buyers have the edge, and homes that have sat for a month or more have room to negotiate. His team is also doing a lot of estate, job-loss, and divorce sales. barttherealtor.com has cell numbers for Bart Marek and Crystal Vann. Bart has been a gold star sponsor for nearly 15 years. Seaz Nuts 2027 Tom & Dan Cruise: On the MSC Seashore out of Port Canaveral, with stops in Nassau and Ocean Cay. Interior staterooms start at $1,200 for two and include Wi-Fi, in-room breakfast, and a premium drink package (15 drinks a day). There will be a live broadcast and the Mediocre Idol karaoke contest. Deposits at tomanddancruise2027.com. Injured On The Go / Just Call Moe (justcallmoe.com): Studio sponsor, also named as a cruise sponsor. Trail of Terror "Sweet 16": At Peghorn Nature Preserve in St. Cloud, six dates only. Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door, via the zombie girl link on TomandDan.com. Supported by Experience Kissimmee and Orlando Health St. Cloud Hospital. Modern Plumbing Industries (modernpi.com): Mention Tom & Dan for 10% off. The read included a listener story about a sewer backup coming up a shower drain. They cover all Central Florida counties, residential and industrial, including cast iron pipe relining. My Eternal Vitality (myeternalvitality.com): A quick drop-in plug during the Method Man TRT joke. Cruise sponsors: justcallmoe.com, Empire Spot Fireworks, Celery City Craft, Villain Coffee / Villain Roasters. Segment Rundown Cold open: cool dude character. The Bart ad read was framed around a revived "cool dude" character that Bart likes. Afterward the hosts argued over how to sign off after a sponsor read. Cruise update: $20 bump. Dan debuted a new "Yachty" sound effect. The first block of balcony cabins sold out, and Tony from Ahoy Cruises got a second block at $20 more, which he was angry about for the listeners' sake. Inside cabins are still at the original price, but another block could cost more. Deposits are fully refundable until a couple of months before sailing. The hosts mocked anyone who cancels. Falcons and Garth tonight. Tom was still wound up after the Falcons game, where a rough first quarter gave way to a strong performance. Moe DeWitt invited the crew, Ross included, to the Garth Brooks show at the Kia Center that night. They joked about how many people dropped out before Tom and Dan got invited, and guessed Buzz Stecker would skip it. Crystal had been playing Garth's greatest hits on Amazon Music (the audio quality got panned), and a host's daughter caught him in "Garth mode." Favorites included "Callin' Baton Rouge" and "Friends in Low Places." Billionaire musicians quiz. A report that Garth considered selling his catalog, valued around $2 billion, led into a guessing game about the six billionaire musicians. The crew landed Jay-Z, Beyonce, Paul McCartney, Taylor Swift, and Rihanna. Rihanna got an asterisk because most of her money comes from her cosmetics line. Ross also floated "A billion is a lot" as a T-shirt. Chris Gaines deep dive. Dan went down the Chris Gaines rabbit hole: Gaines was written as a fictional Australian rock star from Brisbane, with a made-up back catalog. The album was meant to set up a movie called The Lamb, a thriller about a fan trying to prove Gaines was murdered. The character was written as a sex addict, and Garth would have needed an Australian accent. The album sold about 2 million copies and became Garth's only Top 40 pop hit. The SNL episode where Garth hosted and introduced Gaines as the musical guest confused a host's dad. The hosts compared the idea to Borat and to found-footage horror. A host remembered seeing a found-footage film at the Enzian with its UCF filmmakers and believing it was real. Caller Cara: nanny stories. Cara was a nanny for a top makeup artist who worked with Garth, Faith Hill, Reba and others. She said Garth's team went along with the Gaines look because nobody told him no. She lived on the artist's property in her early 20s and fried okra and chicken at Faith Hill's Southern-style baby shower. The artist's husband played in Barbara Mandrell's band. The hosts brought up Tom's childhood nanny again. They also recalled the Gaines album ending up in bargain bins once record stores over-ordered. Garth, music rights, and yes-men. Garth fought used-CD stores in 1995, resisted iTunes, and launched his own download service, GhostTunes, later absorbed into Amazon Music. The hosts roasted his naming choices: GhostTunes, The Lamb, a fake Gaines album called "Fornicopia," and his production company Red Strokes. Tom created the "Castleberry Garth" bit about rich stars who won't take notes from employees. Claims from a 2013 lawsuit by an ex-business partner: Garth supposedly passed on Twister (the Helen Hunt role) and Saving Private Ryan to avoid sharing the spotlight. His Padres spring training stint was for charity (a donation to Boys & Girls Clubs), not a real tryout. Dan admitted arguing with Claude about it before conceding. Pre-internet news coverage made stunts like this confusing. Caller Charles: concert parking. BDM Charles was taking his wife to the Garth show for their 23rd anniversary and asked for parking tips. The hosts first gave joke advice: tip a random guy in a construction vest to valet your car. Then came real tips about the Kia Center lots and a gate most people don't know about. Dan's partner Andrea has a secret back-alley parking route. The crew planned crispy tavern-style pizza downtown and Uber rides home. Ross's Uber nightmare. After Wu-Tang Clan at the MidFlorida amphitheater in Tampa, Ross and his wife could see their Hard Rock hotel balcony but had I-4 in the way. Rideshare signs led them nowhere, and the app's pickup point was a slab of concrete in an empty fairgrounds field. The driver stayed in a different lot and stopped answering, while black SUVs kept offering rides. They ended up walking toward a distant Hampton Inn. Chat and hosts piled on about Uber's decline (rider-rating filtering, cancellations) and a Waymo that got stuck in traffic. Break: ska block. The Family Business Limited's "Still a Jamaican" (new album out today) and the Barstool Preachers' "Want to Know" (pick of the week), followed by the Trail of Terror read. Oviedo e-bike arrest. A News 6 clip covered an 11-year-old in Oviedo who got a written arrest for riding a Sur-Ron-style electric dirt bike near Sweetwater Park. He bought it with $900 from selling squirrel picnic tables. The charges were an unregistered vehicle, no insurance, no motorcycle endorsement, and no eye protection. His father called it an overreach, and the boy will miss school for court. Tom recalled his brother getting a written arrest for riding a dirt bike on the street. Officer interview: e-bike law. A BDM police officer (name unclear in the transcript) called in: The crackdown follows a wave of crashes and kids getting hurt, plus newer statutes that classify e-bikes. With working pedals it's a bicycle. With the pedals removed it's a motor vehicle. Fake pedals may get riders by some officers. Enforcement is at the officer's discretion: a civil infraction with a misdemeanor consequence. Registering a Sur-Ron takes blinkers, lights, and a plate. Dan's old scooter has only an antique tag. Stand-up scooters are speed-regulated, and OneWheels are unregulated. You can get a DUI on anything motorized. Adults can be charged for letting an unlicensed minor drive. Traffic court has a hearing officer, not prosecutors. Seminole County is stricter than Orange. Afterward the hosts wondered how their Miami friend Turkey Leg, who rides one, would react. Wu-Tang concert recap. Ross described the night: Bone Thugs-n-Harmony opened with medleys, including an Eazy-E tribute and a Biggie and Tupac tribute. RZA gave a spoken history of the group, then the set ran through 36 Chambers material and solo spots for Method Man, Ghostface, Raekwon, Cappadonna, and a Mobb Deep member. Method Man showed off his physique and hair, which set up the TRT joke. There was a memorial tribute to late rappers. The reveal: ODB's parts were performed by his son, Young Dirty Bastard. His mother tried to steer him away from music, and RZA didn't cast him in the American Saga series. The hosts traded ODB stories and tried, unsuccessfully, to play a TRL clip. Seacrest and aging. A host's parents cut cable and now use an antenna for NFL games, which means catching Ryan Seacrest on Wheel of Fortune. The crew discussed Seacrest's changed face, weight loss versus cosmetic work, and his frosted tips at his age. Vanna White came up too. Tom said he's getting gray streaks and would dye his hair, which got jokes about jet-black "magician hair." Elizabeth Holmes documentary. Nathan Fielder's secretive Holmes documentary screened at a festival with breathless reviews but no specifics. It's rated R for graphic nudity. The leading theory was that it includes a childbirth video. The crew expected a three-hour absurdist art piece and joked about betting on its reception on Kalshi. They noted a trailer scene where her husband takes the whisk from her while she's making eggs. Ross's theory: the story turns to Holmes cheating on him. That led to a tangent on Italian brainrot videos, Skibidi Toilet being over, "6-7," and how much Fortnite has changed. Break: pop punk block. Rivals' "Adrenaline Rush," the Modern PI read, and Cartel. "Mother of the Year" video. In a viral Giants broadcast clip, a mom juggles a baby, a carrier, and stacks of food and drinks back to her seat while her husband sits idle, and the announcers roast him. Tom defended the dad, saying partners who don't ask for help end up making the other person look bad. The others ribbed him for how he phrased it. Dan described Andrea handing off their daughter at Magic and Orlando City games so she could take a break. Ross offered a gentler defense, citing $25 concert beers and sending his wife to the beer tent. Dan shared Andrea's backhanded compliment that she's glad he drinks less, but "even this one scares me." Dripstick product. Ross got a targeted ad after Monday's cruise talk about tampons. The product is Awkward Essentials' Dripstick, a post-sex sponge applicator. The hosts read the instructions, then argued at length about hygiene and peeing after sex. Dan explained his cleanup routine, and Tom compared it to cleaning a paint sprayer or a beer line. The product's FAQ recommends peeing afterward anyway. The punchline was a "69 for $69" deal, which gave the episode its title, plus a joke return address on the "discreet packaging." Caller Toad King. Last call of the day: a crude one-liner about the post-sex topic, with nothing substantive. Tom's crazy fact: snakebites. The US averages about 5 snakebite deaths a year, and Tom asked the crew to guess India's number. The answer is about 58,000, mostly rural. The crew discussed the colonial snake-bounty story (often called an urban legend), India's "big four" venomous snakes, the Monsters of God documentary, and a story about someone stealing a nearly extinct tortoise breeding population. Plugs and wrap. Ross plugged The Orlando Talk Show and the Moe Comedy Jam. The cruise price increase got a reminder, and they announced Villain Roasters' new location with a possible Tom & Dan chicken-and-waffle item and a meetup.

Duane "Keffe D" Davis was convicted of first-degree murder on August 31, 2026 for orchestrating the shooting of Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas in 1996. The confession that built that case didn't come from the Tupac investigation. It came from the Biggie Smalls investigation.In 2008, LAPD detectives approached Davis about the murder of Christopher Wallace. He denied any role in Biggie's death. Then he told them he was involved in Tupac's. Detectives who went looking for one killer found another — and the institution behind them responded by disbanding the task force, letting the lead detective walk away, and going silent on Biggie's case for the next sixteen years.The alleged shooter in Biggie's murder was killed in 2003. The original lead detective died in 2015 after being forced off the case by his own chief. The woman who confessed to arranging the hit has immunity. The man both investigations point to as the person who ordered it is serving a 28-year sentence and has never admitted a thing. The LAPD won't confirm whether anyone is still investigating. This episode lays out the full chain of institutional failures that left a solvable murder unsolved for twenty-nine years.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Every time a detective got close to solving the murder of Christopher Wallace, the LAPD pulled the plug. The first investigator followed the evidence to two of the department's own officers. His chief ordered him to stop. He quit the force in 1999 and never saw an arrest before he died in 2015.A second task force, created in 2006 under federal pressure, got even further. Its detectives extracted a confession naming who allegedly pulled the trigger and who allegedly ordered the hit. The FBI wired its cooperating witness and sent her to confront the suspect in prison. He gave them nothing. The task force was disbanded after the Wallace family dropped their $400 million lawsuit against the city.Along the way, that same task force produced the confession that eventually put Keffe D in a Las Vegas courtroom for Tupac Shakur's murder. Davis was convicted of first-degree murder on August 31, 2026. The investigation that solved Tupac's murder was built to solve Biggie's. It solved one and was shut down before it could finish the other. This episode maps how a solvable case became the longest-running failure in LAPD history.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Episode #604: “I chose hip hop.” Born in Yangon in 1979 to parents who were nationally known singers, Anegga grew up in a household where art was both celebrated and watched. His father had helped introduce rock music to Myanmar during an earlier era of military control, and supporting opposition politics carried real risk. He remembers military visits to the family home at night and his mother having to hide because of her involvement with the NLD. Music, in other words, was never insulated from power. Hip hop entered his life through scarcity. Myanmar at the time was largely cut off from international media, English-language books, and commercial music distribution. He encountered rap through English-language radio broadcasts, especially VOA, and was drawn first to sound rather than meaning. He did not initially understand most of the lyrics he heard from artists like LL Cool J, Nas, or Biggie, but he studied cadence, breath control, rhyme structure, and delivery. Hip hop became a way of accessing a vocabulary of frustration that felt familiar even if the geography was different. He often explains that while Myanmar did not have American-style ghettos, it lived under a different form of systemic deprivation, one that shaped the whole country rather than particular neighborhoods. In 2000, he co-founded ACID and released what is considered to be Myanmar's first hip hop album. The impact was immediate among young people; at the same time, every release required navigating censorship committees, submitting written lyrics in advance, altering phrasing to avoid rejection, and sometimes facing arbitrary refusals from broadcast authorities even after formal approval. The system did not operate transparently; it operated through unpredictability. Although he has consistently argued that ACID did not begin as an explicitly political group, interpretation often exceeded intention. Songs meant as expressions of loyalty or social observation were read by audiences as indirect political commentary. That ambiguity narrowed after 2007, when the Saffron Revolution led to arrests of band members, including Zayar Thaw. Over time, Anegga moved from coded expression to open political engagement, releasing explicitly political songs, supporting the NLD, and distributing banned political literature discreetly among students. His political involvement was also shaped by family history and long-standing loyalty to Aung San Suu Kyi. After the 2021 coup, the separation between music and politics disappeared entirely. Zayar Thaw, who had moved from hip hop into parliament, joined the resistance and was executed by the military in 2022, an act that underscored how thoroughly the country had reversed course. Anegga left Myanmar soon after and now lives in Thailand as an urban refugee, separated from his family and uncertain about permanent resettlement.

For decades, Sean “Diddy” Combs seemed untouchable. He built Bad Boy Records into a hip-hop powerhouse, launched successful businesses, threw parties attended by some of the biggest celebrities in the world, and amassed an enormous fortune along the way. But Diddy's story has always had a darker side. In Part 1, we're walking through his life from the beginning: his childhood, his rise through Uptown Records, the creation of Bad Boy, his relationships with Biggie and other major artists, the infamous parties, years of lawsuits and accusations, Cassie Ventura's allegations, the federal investigation, and the criminal case that finally brought his empire crashing down. But we're not finished. Next week in Part 2, we leave the documented history behind and head deeper into the rabbit hole to examine the conspiracy theories surrounding Diddy, his career, his connections, and some of the biggest moments in hip-hop history.

In light of today's historic guilty verdict in the murder of Tupac Shakur, we're revisiting our conversation with former LAPD detective Greg Kading, who led the task force investigation into the murders of Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G. and later wrote *Murder Rap*. Recorded in 2024, before Duane “Keffe D” Davis was found guilty, Kading takes us inside the rivalry and retaliation that led to both killings, the evidence investigators uncovered, and the forces that kept two of the most infamous murders in music history unsolved for nearly three decades.

What upp!!!! Guys we are so excited to drop this one Jeremiah came through for a hilarious first ever appearance on the show.. Roll a few & call the homies!! It's DOPE AS USUAL

Is That Biggie?

With Duane "Keffe D" Davis now on trial for the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur, The Outlaws are going back into the archives to revisit one of the show's most fascinating interviews. In episode 243, originally released in 2021, former LAPD detective Greg Kading - who led the muti-agency task force investigating the murders of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G - joined the Outlaws to break down what his investigation uncovered, the role of Keffe D, the circumstances surrounding Tupac's murder and how investigators reached their conclusions in two of the most infamous cases in hip-hop history.Nearly 5 years later, with Keefe D's murder trial reaching its final stages in Las Vegas, that conversation is more relevant than ever. Go back with us and hear what Greg Kading told The Outlaws years before the Tupac murder case finally reached a courtroom.

Day 6 It's Day 6, and the courtroom tension rises as documentary filmmaker and producer Michael Dorsey returns to the witness stand. Dorsey, a consultant on the BET series Death Row Chronicles, describes the 2017 interviews he monitored in which Davis detailed his gang history, drug operations, connections to figures like Christopher Wallace and Sean Combs, and the events surrounding Shakur's shooting. Audio from those sessions is played and authenticated, with Dorsey confirming that key details later appeared in Davis's own book, Compton Street Legend.What follows is a sharp, often heated cross-examination by the defense. Dorsey is pressed on his methods, his lack of formal law-enforcement credentials, how he recorded the interviews, and whether the sessions were truly independent. At times the exchange grows combative enough that the judge steps in. Davis himself remains highly engaged from the defense table, interjecting and reacting openly as his past statements take center stage.Jim breaks down the critical testimony, the audio evidence presented, the courtroom clashes, and what Day 6 means for the prosecution's case built largely on Davis's own words over the years as one of music's longest-running mysteries continues to unfold in real time.Timestamps:02:34 Dorsey's Secret Recording10:55 Cross-Examining the Producer13:24 Hidden Audio Playback15:00 Biggie, Puff, and the Fallout32:03 Mafia, Cops, and Chaos41:24 Aftermath of the Shooting49:28 Hiding from the Heat58:35 FBI Pressure Mounts1:03:21 Betrayal and Biggie Claims1:09:24 Tupac, Orlando, and Regret1:14:11 Gang Hierarchy Explained1:17:17 Biggie's Death and Aftermath1:19:38 Biggie and the Streets1:23:02 Gang Generations1:26:41 Puffy, Zip, and Concerts1:34:22 Money Wasn't the Issue1:41:11 Vegas and the First Encounter1:46:21 Waiting at Club 6621:50:57 The Drive-By Shooting1:56:57 Railroaded by Investigators2:06:54 Covering the Tracks2:14:31 Reggie Sr. Confrontation2:18:13 Suge's Police Protection2:21:09 Gangster Wannabes2:26:11 Tupac's Death2:30:50 Guns and the Backyard Claim2:32:49 Setting the Vegas Scene2:36:15 Rumors and RetaliationFor commercial free early releases, bonus episodes and more! https://www.patreon.com/exposedpodcastfilesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/exposed-scandalous-files-of-the-elite--6073723/support.

My guest this week was Rudy Javar, owner of Chickadees Craft Sauces- who is making Small Batch Craft Sauces that are unique Florida‑Made Condiments.I sat with Biggie with Rudy Javar to talk about turning a home-cooked mojo chicken recipe into an award-winning condiment brand. Rudy shares how COVID, family pressures, farmer markets, and customer feedback shaped the business into a scalable sauce company with 12 national awards.We discuss the origin story, the co-packer grind, the move from markets to online sales, and how Rudy uses content and advertising to keep growing. He also explains why Chickadees is a condiment brand built around flavor, creativity, and family.Lunch with Biggie is a podcast about small business and creatives sharing their stories and inspiring you to pursue your passion, with some sandwich talk on the side.

Apparently one Friday show wasn't chaotic enough, so this episode brings together sports-radio confusion, Banana Ball insanity, celebrity disasters, '90s music nostalgia, Taylor Swift fandom, and an emotional goodbye that briefly forces The Rizzuto Show to experience genuine human feelings. Gross. The crew is coming off its takeover of The Fast Lane, where St. Louis sports-radio listeners turned on their radios expecting serious sports analysis and instead found… us. Confused texts start rolling in, Moon commits the apparently unforgivable crime of discussing soccer, and everyone discovers that sports-talk fans approach radio hosts with roughly the same restraint they bring to yelling at referees.From there, we head to Busch Stadium for the Savannah Bananas and the wonderfully ridiculous world of Banana Ball. No bunting. Batters can steal first. Ball four turns into a sprint. Fans can record an out by catching a foul ball. There's a Golden Batter. There are bizarre tiebreakers. Basically, somebody looked at baseball and asked, “What if this moved faster and people actually had fun?”That naturally sends us down the Steve Bartman rabbit hole, where we discover the infamous baseball was eventually purchased, publicly blown up and—because humanity had apparently not done enough—its essence was incorporated into pasta sauce. Sports fans remain completely normal.We also get into Rizz's upcoming first trip to Buc-ee's, the Gathering of the Juggalos, a drug bust involving a man with the incredibly discreet nickname Blunt Man, speeding, road rage and those tiny towns where the speed limit suddenly drops just in time for a police officer to welcome you personally.Then nostalgia attacks.A forgotten Rollins Band song sends Rizz straight back to the '90s, MTV and Beavis and Butt-Head, leading to an appreciation of Henry Rollins as perhaps the only man capable of delivering inspirational wisdom while looking permanently furious about it. Rafe even discovers the perfect soundtrack for the closet he apparently cries in.Once Crap on Celebrities gets rolling, things become significantly more expensive and legally complicated. Foo Fighters are joining AC/DC for a huge St. Louis show, which is incredible news right up until everyone remembers they'll eventually have to escape the parking lot. The crew also digs into the Michael Jackson biopic sequel, developments surrounding the Tupac murder case and reported Diddy allegations, questions surrounding changes to Biggie's mother's will, and Dane Cook revisiting the brutal discovery that his own brother embezzled millions from him.Nothing says family like alleged financial crimes.There's also God of War casting drama involving Dave Bautista, a public service announcement about a movie Moon thinks is absolute garbage, and a rundown of famous actors who reportedly couldn't stand each other while filming some of Hollywood's most beloved romances. Turns out all that incredible on-screen chemistry might occasionally just be two attractive people professionally suppressing rage.And then Courtney Diamond — aka Eight Ball — comes home.The former Rizzuto Show intern joins the crew ahead of the final TaylorMade tribute to Taylor Swift show, closing a chapter that grew into 45 performances across 28 cities. Courtney talks about knowing when it was time to end TaylorMade, remembering the nerves surrounding the first show and making sure the project went out while everyone involved still loved what they were doing.Things get dangerously sincere when Courtney reflects on her time working with the show and tells Rizz that one of the lessons she carried with her was watching him treat people well and thank her for her work every day as an intern.Don't worry. Everyone immediately starts making jokes before Rizz can develop an emotion.Courtney also explains how a die-hard Def Leppard and '80s hair-metal fan became a massive Taylor Swift fan, why Swift's songwriting won her over and where even a dedicated Swiftie draws the line when it comes to merch drops, album variants and the Taylor Swift business machine.Then we enter the terrifying world of parasocial fandom.The crew debates fans driving 12 hours just to stand outside a celebrity wedding, Courtney admits to incorporating some Def Leppard sightseeing into her honeymoon, and even one of the biggest Swifties we know arrives at an important conclusion:Some Swifties need to chill.Finally, Courtney looks ahead to the emotional final TaylorMade performance and talks about what it feels like to deliberately close something she's spent years building. She doesn't know exactly what comes next—and for once, nobody needs to turn that into a five-year plan.It's sports, weird news, celebrity gossip, music memories, St. Louis chaos, Taylor Swift, Juggalos, Banana Ball, family betrayals, emotional farewells and enough wildly unnecessary side conversations to remind everyone why The Rizzuto Show remains your daily comedy destination.Basically, we laughed, we learned, we almost had feelings, and somewhere along the way Blunt Man got arrested.Another productive day.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.St. Louis City considers demolition of fire-damaged church, home to non-profit's skate parkFour arrested on drug charges tied to Gathering of the Juggalos near Macks CreekMargaret Qualley Just Wore Those Controversial Chanel Shoes for The Dog Stars PremiereSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Day One of TrialNearly 30 years after Tupac Shakur was gunned down on the Las Vegas Strip, the first person ever charged in his murder finally faced a jury.On the opening day of the trial of Duane “Keffe D” Davis, prosecutors painted a clear picture of revenge. They told jurors that Davis, a former South Side Compton Crips leader, did not pull the trigger—but orchestrated the entire drive-by that killed the 25-year-old rap icon on September 7, 1996. Just hours after Tupac and members of his Death Row entourage beat Davis's nephew, Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, in the lobby of the MGM Grand following a Mike Tyson fight, prosecutors say Davis got a .40-caliber Glock, assembled a crew in a white Cadillac, and made sure the shooters were armed and ready. Chief Deputy District Attorney Binu Palal told the jury the state's case rests heavily on Davis's own words—from a secret 2008 interview with investigators, later statements, and his 2019 memoir Compton Street Legend—in which he described being in the front passenger seat, passing the gun to the back, and watching the shots ring out. “Duane Davis did not pull the trigger. But he did plan the shooting in retaliation for the beating of his nephew,” Palal said. “And remarkably, you will learn that from Duane Davis himself.”Defense attorney Michael Sanft hit back hard, calling his own client “full of crap” and telling jurors Davis's long history of self-incriminating stories was just that—stories told for attention and money. “There's no facts,” Sanft argued. The first witnesses took the stand, including a former Las Vegas Metro officer who rode in the ambulance with a still-conscious Tupac and heard the rapper refuse to name his attackers, saying something to the effect of “we'll take care of it.” Thirty years of silence, street codes, and unanswered questions collided in a Las Vegas courtroom.Jim Chapman breaks down everything we learned in day one of this trial, 30 years in the making.Timestamps:01:21 Tupac's Rise to Fame04:44 Legal Troubles and Death07:41 Suge Knight's Influence09:48 Trial Opening Statements20:50 Witnesses Place Tupac There27:25 Early Investigation Details31:12 Biggie Connection Emerges#tupac #deathrowrecords #sugeknight #biggie #rap #trial #keffed #duanedavis #podcast Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/exposed-scandalous-files-of-the-elite--6073723/support.

This week on Termagant Talk, Goodie and Shantel are all over the cultural map, exactly where they belong. They kick things off doubling down on why LL Cool J is NOT the most important rapper of all time, then talk Jadakiss and The LOX, the lost art of reading out loud, Gen X childhood survival skills, and somehow end up debating whether Fast & Furious deserves a place among the greatest movie franchises ever.Then things get spicy. Remy Ma has bars for Clarissa Shields, and the ladies unpack the Papoose of it all, from relationships and public embarrassment to why a world-class athlete should never let a man become the center of her story. They also get into Joe Budden, Biggie's estate, and finally stumble into their next mission: Nas vs. Biggie, everything through 1997. Illmatic. It Was Written. Ready to Die. Life After Death. Features, flows, storytelling, humor, writing, impact. They're doing the knowledge.Because apparently even hip-hop debates have divine timing.#TermagantTalk #HipHop #RemyMa #ClarissaShields #Papoose #Nas #Biggie #Jadakiss #TheLOX #LLCoolJ #HipHopCulture #WomenInHipHop

Big Pun, an iconic figure in hip-hop, left an indelible mark on the music industry with his exceptional lyrical skills and dynamic collaborations, despite his career being cut short at the age of 28. His partnership with Fat Joe, particularly on songs like "Twinz," not only demonstrated his remarkable talent but also cemented his influence in the rap scene. Jr Sparrow, reflecting on Big Pun's legacy, asserts that while Big Pun's lyrical prowess rivals that of legendary rappers like Biggie, he has not received the recognition he deserves. Jr Sparrow's perspective is shaped by an understanding of the close relationship between Big Pun and Fat Joe, noting how Big Pun's artistry elevated Fat Joe's career and lamenting the lack of a proper legacy for such a transformative artist

Before he was a reality TV star or actor, Shad Moss was "Lil Bow Wow", a six-year-old child prodigy discovered by Snoop Dogg and mentored by Jermaine Dupri who took the early 2000s hip-hop world by storm.In this episode, we trace Bow Wow's incredible rise of one of the youngest platinum-selling artists in rap history. From his discovery amongst the audience at a Dr Dre. Chronic tour show, to his cameo as a talented youngster on Arsenio Hall, his time at Death Row Records surrounded by rival labels and gang violence that saw the deaths of 2pac and Biggie to signing to So So Def records under Jermaine Dupri where his debut album Beware of Dog, spawned the iconic chart-topping hits like What's My Name and Bounce With Me. We also delve into why Bow dropped the "Lil" from his name, the controversies, his overdose, fatherhood and pivotal life moments that shaped him as a person as well as the question on everyone's lips Where is he now?

Before the culture had a mainstream stage, one man in Queens pointed a camera at the streets and hit record. This week on The Trend with Justin A. Williams, I sit down with the legendary Ralph "Uncle Ralph" McDaniels — DJ, VJ, director, archivist, and the co-creator of Video Music Box, the first television show in the world built for hip-hop, and still the longest-running music video program ever made.Since 1983, Ralph has been the eye behind the culture. He put Jay-Z, Nas, Biggie, and LL Cool J on screen before the world knew their names, directed over 400 music videos, co-produced films like Juice, and quietly built an archive of more than 20,000 hours of footage that amounts to a living record of hip-hop history. He even coined the on-air shout-out. If you grew up on New York rap, you grew up on Ralph — whether you knew it or not.We get into the origin of Video Music Box, what it took to document a movement in real time, the ascent of AI usage and why Ralph believes the pioneers themselves need to be the ones teaching the culture. This is a conversation about vision, preservation, and building something that outlasts you.Tap in. You're watching the blueprint.#Trend with us

In the mid-1970's, a small college radio station created an evening program catering to a new socioeconomic group referred to as the “new Black middle class.” The show was called “The Quiet Storm” and it grew so popular that an entire genre of music would spring up alongside it. Artists like Anita Baker, Luther Vandross, and many more would find massive success in the genre, performing smooth and sexy songs you could turn on after a long day. Audio producer Christopher Johnson made a piece about The Quiet Storm for the legendary podcast about design 99% Invisible and he joins Anna to talk about why Quiet Storm music will always feel like home to him.You can listen to The Quiet Storm playlist from 99% Invisible here and check out the seasons of Slow Burn that Christopher worked on here: Season 3 - Biggie and Tupac and Season 4 - David Duke.

Plus, we discuss if Jay-Z was the first Drake, whether he is deserving of the title of America's greatest songwriter, whether Jay is more of an hustler than an artist, whether Biggie or Jay had the better verse on "Brooklyn's Finest", debate if Memphis Bleek is a good rapper, and we debut our new spin-off podcast "The Three Uncs!"0:00 Jay-Z and Drake6:26 theme song7:04 introduction8:26 Kevin's relationship to Jay-Z25:14 is Jay-Z an Artist?46:09 themes1:01:41 friend or foe1:03:37 Can I Live?1:09:20 Politics as Usual1:16:15 Brooklyn's Finest1:29:02 D'Evils1:31:13 Can't Knock the Hustle1:33:02 Coming of Age1:43:15 22 Twos1:45:36 Can I Live 21:47:56 Regrets1:50:10 Stray Observations1:57:09 Final Thoughts and RatingsPATREON SUPPORTERSSamuel LeeCarissa ZaffiroStenley PhilippeJon ButtsTanner Richard CraftSean WilkinsonSpencer RoystonSubscribe to our "I've Been Meaning To Watch That" Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/IBMTLTTFollow Jon Butts on Instagram (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@jonbuttsishere⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Follow Dakota West Foss on Instagram (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@down_with_fun⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Follow Andrew Ambrose Lee on Instagram (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@andrewambroselee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Follow Stenley Philippe on Instagram (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@snapasten⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Follow Stefanie Senior on Instagram (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@stefmsenior⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Cover Art by Megan Rika Young (Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@meganrika⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Theme Song by OTNES (Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@mxotnes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Follow us at (@ibmtltt) on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ &⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and email us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ivebeenmeaningtolistentothat@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Have a good daaay!

FULL EPISODE ONLY ON: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast   STRAIGHT AI SUMMARY: This week on Dopey Tuesday, Dave checks in fresh from another brutally sweaty workout with his new trainer, who thankfully traded emo music for N.W.A. and Biggie. Dave talks about embracing the Dopey fitness challenge, surviving leg day, walking miles in the summer heat, and learning a little humility while trying to get back into shape.   Since he's banking episodes before heading out on vacation, Dave changes things up by reading the Just For Today meditation on humility and reflects on what it means to accept getting older, staying teachable, and laughing at himself.   Then come the classic Dopey stories. James D. Hart sends in an unforgettable tale from his crack-smoking days in Cleveland, where his favorite dealer—nicknamed "400"—fronted him more and more drugs until James eventually disappeared owing him exactly $400, making for one of the funniest addict coincidences imaginable.   Dave follows with a voicemail from longtime Dopey Nation member Amy, who recalls taking what she thought was cocaine after a night of ecstasy at a Lower East Side club, waking up alone after closing time, and walking across Manhattan as the sun rose—one of those strange, lonely New York mornings only addiction can produce.   Finally, Dave teases an exclusive Patreon interview with Workit Health's Max, diving into medication-assisted recovery, recovery stigma, and why the conversation around Suboxone and recovery still needs to evolve.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Biggie Is Having Scrotal Issues

My guest this week was Taylor Land, owner of Peculiar Pirate- a brand where they take the mantra of living a pirate's life and infuse it into their shirts and goods. I got to talk with Taylor about his childhood love of things related to pirates, nautical, and beach, and how it became a clothing brand.  We discussed the evolution and growth of the brand, and about taking away the perimeters and perfection, and letting him be creative without bounds.  I have enjoyed seeing the growth of Peculiar Pirate and was great talking with him on what's next he is trying to do to grown his brand.  Lunch with Biggie is a podcast about small businesses and creatives sharing their stories and inspiring you to pursue your passion, with some sandwich talk on the side.

Is Biggie The Heart Of The Show?

Hour 4: Knicks vs the second apron and how the Mets can court Alex Cora. A bad weekend doesn't impact the big picture for the Yankees.

In this episode of The Truth In This Art, the guest is Jacob Ming-Trent!About Jacob Ming-Trent: Acclaimed performer, playwright, and one of American Theater's people to watch. A celebrated artist bringing his solo play, How Shakespeare Saved My Life, to Washington, DC's Folger Theater, and later to The Public Theater in New York with Red Bull producing.In our conversation, Ming-Trent walks through his journey from a rough childhood in an abusive home to moving to New York at seventeen—having been homeless the previous year and recently dropped out of high school. He recalls the pivotal moment Shakespeare entered his life: at six years old, his father, an English major, mentioned the Bard alongside Amiri Baraka. Years later, he accidentally walked into the wrong classroom and was asked to read a Shakespeare speech. "It felt like home to me," he says. "The words were big enough to give context to my emotions that were inside."He digs into the origins of How Shakespeare Saved My Life, a play that poured out of him unexpectedly while working on a different project. The solo show follows a kid with a tough childhood who discovers Shakespeare and tries to use it to navigate his world—sometimes it works, sometimes it fails. "It's a raucous ride, it's outrageous, it's funny, it's sad, and in the end we experience some black joy," Ming-Trent shares. We discuss his decision to leave theater at 35 after feeling treated like "an affirmative action hire," his pivot to television in LA, and how a call from director Saheem Ali brought him back to the stage to lead Shakespeare in the Park in Merry Wives—which ultimately led to writing this play. He reflects on the influence of figures like Biggie, Tupac, James Baldwin, and Basquiat—all artists trying to save their lives through their work. He also talks about audience interaction, the differences between performing in Berkeley and DC, and why vulnerability and fear are necessary parts of telling personal stories.Be sure to follow Jacob Ming-Trent and catch How Shakespeare Saved My Life, running until July 5th at Folger Theater (201 East Capitol Street SE, Washington, DC). Tickets start at $20. The play is also published by Bloomsbury Publishing. After DC, the show heads to The Public Theater in New York. The Truth In This Art is supported by William G.

Biggie Goes For A World Record.

Some producers make beats. Pete Rock built a blueprint. On this episode of Unglossy, Bun B, Jeffrey Sledge, and Tom Frank sit down with the legendary producer, DJ, and MC for a wide-ranging conversation that runs from his Mount Vernon roots all the way to the present moment. Pete takes us back to coming up under Heavy D, spinning on WBLS next to Marley Marl at 13 years old, and the basement studio where Biggie, Run DMC, Nas, and half of hip hop passed through. He breaks down the stories behind the classics: how "T.R.O.Y." came out of real grief and taught him to treat music like medicine, how Jam Master Jay tapped out the drums on "Down with the King," and how he ended up singing the hook on "The World Is Yours." Plus the new De La Soul album, his love of comics, and why, after 53 years without a chip, these Knicks have him out of his head in the best way. It is a masterclass, a memory lap, and a love letter to New York, all in one. Follow us on Instagram @UnglossyPod to join the conversation, and get early access plus live recordings and more at Merrick Studios+. Unglossy is produced and distributed by Merrick Studios, where culture takes the mic.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down why the Knicks Game 3 loss may not be as disastrous as it felt, while still digging into the warning signs that could change the entire series. From Jalen Brunson's turnovers to the free throw discrepancy and the fading power of home court advantage, the conversation captures the nervous energy around a pivotal Game 4. The guys also react to Shaquille O'Neal's blunt take on Victor Wembanyama's physicality, debate whether the Knicks have anyone willing to push back, and decide who deserves blame for potentially jinxing New York. They close with a bigger argument about Wembanyama's future, how many championships he can win, and whether he could someday become a New York star.

Mal is in Toronto, and no, we haven't heard ICEMAN yet. Today, Rory sits down with DDot and Tracey Lee, who’s new project “Law & Disorder” is out now. DDot and Tracey share some crazy stories about their time at Howard, working with Biggie, and recognizing Jay-Z’s talent. The guys also discuss aging gracefully in hip hop, who gets to critique music, and debate what “real hip hop” is. We’ll see you next week when the ice has melted, and Mal is back!
