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.

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.

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

Grammy Winner Jermaine Dupri, Actor Chris Mulkey, and Entrepreneur Robin Sims-AllenThis edition of The Neil Haley Show opens with a Total Celebrity conversation with Grammy-winning producer Jermaine Dupri about Lifetime's The Rap Game, returning for a third season with Queen Latifah. Dupri, the So So Def founder behind decades of hits and discoveries from Kris Kross to Bow Wow and Da Brat, explained that finding talent comes down to genuine interest and really listening, and that the rare misses happen only when an artist is not as gifted as they believe. He described The Rap Game as unlike American Idol or The Voice, a hip-hop show built to educate kids roughly twelve to sixteen while their parents watch alongside them, teaching craft, competitiveness, and the culture itself. Looking ahead, Dupri said this season raises the talent bar and brings in more of his celebrity friends, and he shared his deeper hope for the genre: a return to artists with distinct, individual styles. He pointed out that Tupac and Biggie never sounded alike, and that Jay-Z and Nas each carved their own lane, arguing that today's artists sound too similar to become iconic. The season premieres Friday at 10 p.m. Eastern.Neil then welcomed veteran character actor Chris Mulkey for a Celebrity Interviews simulcast from the grotto of co-host Greg Hanna. Mulkey, a self-described lover of playing the bad guy, traced his craft from boyhood in Minnesota, where the AWA wrestling circuit and stars like Verne Gagne first awakened his love of drama, through classical theater training to a screen career of memorable heels. He shared the origins of Hank Jennings on Twin Peaks, drawn from a dangerous, charming ex-convict he once knew, and a harrowing on-set moment during Captain Phillips, filmed off Malta, when he instinctively grabbed a stunt performer back from going over a railing fifty feet above the water. He recalled advice from Clint Eastwood that sent him back to Minnesota to write and star in his own films, Loose Ends and Patty Rocks, both Sundance winners, the latter with his late wife Karen Landry. He reflected on Whiplash, whose family scene was the first shot of a film that won three Academy Awards, and named the Robert Duvall western Broken Trail as his favorite villain role. Mulkey previewed a run of new movies, including the 1990s hair-band comedy Rock Bottom with Jake Bongiovi, plus Far Haven, Deadland, and Long Shadows, and said the most important things in life are family and loyalty to friends. Find his music at chrismulkeymusic.com.The hour closes with a Storehouse Media Group simulcast, hosted by Sherrie, featuring Robin Sims-Allen, founder and CEO of Phoenix Marcus LLC. A tech professional and entrepreneur with 22 years of experience who launched her first company in 2007, Sims-Allen built Phoenix Marcus as an umbrella brand so she would never have to pick a single lane, spanning an organic beauty and franchise venture, a consulting practice, and TotalHER, a women-only platform. She described consulting on process improvement and strategy across industries, from past defense and Amtrak-related work to embedding AI into nearly every current project, and framed her minority- and women-owned firm, based outside Atlanta, around finding problems to solve and working backward from the end goal. TotalHER, she explained, is evolving from a social platform into a future-of-work space for women, letting professionals from fitness and finance to beauty and law build brands and income in one trusted place. Her advice to entrepreneurs was to embrace failure as a lesson, to keep pivoting rather than niching into a corner, to try the exact opposite of your safe bet, and to treat skill-building as ongoing research and development, living by the creed of each one, teach one. TotalHER is live now at totalher.co. Find Jermaine Dupri on The Rap Game and Chris Mulkey's films on Amazon Prime.

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.

This week on the Alliance Blog Podcast, I sat down with veteran professional wrestler Biggie Biggs to discuss his remarkable 30-year career, the return of Dangerous Adrenaline Wrestling Gladiators (DAWG) to the Monmouth County Fair, and the art of connecting with an audience.Biggie shared what makes the fair shows so unique, explaining how wrestling, racing pigs, and pirate performances create a nonstop family-friendly experience that drew more than 110,000 attendees last year, with some wrestling events attracting crowds of nearly 5,000 fans.But the conversation went far beyond promoting an event.Stay Social https://www.facebook.com/podszillah http://myspace.com/biggiebiggs2k https://www.youtube.com/user/podszillahhttps://www.instagram.com/mr.podsweirdo/

You really can't knock the hustle. We knew something was afoot once the umlaut showed up on streaming services. Jaÿ-Z began a brilliant rollout of tracks that provided the soundtrack for my adolescence to a new generation. While noticing this, I realized how few Jaÿ songs I played in the car and how my sons really did not know his music like that. I'd played enough clean edits of Nas and Biggie for the boys to have their favorite records but the third wing of the NY triumvirate was less familiar to them. And honestly I don't know how that happened. For years, I cycled between streaming services—including TIDAL—and made playlists to enjoy every December 4th. Jaÿ's music is an example of what I love most about hip-hop from my youth, it made you aspire. Jaÿ had my generation going to parties dressed like we were going to a job interview. All that hypercapitalist energy made you want to be somebody!I changed trains at two fifth and a mystical throughline helped me clock everyone who was on their way to the show. Out of towners, gentrifiers, and those from the soil all had a certain look of anticipation as we stood on the train platform. One cat wearing a Knicks jersey, fitted, and cable link exemplified my feeling of how Jaÿ's concert is a continuation of a top tier NY summer. We piled onto the train and I overheard conversations of folks who came up from Baltimore, Atlanta, flew in from Vancouver, and Seattle. It's another glimpse of how the specific taps into universality. Jaÿ wove tales of surviving Brooklyn that seamlessly fit into American mythology and everywhere where Horatio Alger echoes.I watched the show with its brilliant use of videos interspersed with American flags, urban life, and crosses and saw an artist using his medium to communicate a problem to a people he helped lull to sleep. Jaÿ delivered another freestyle with a critique for his critics turning the accusation of being a sell out on its head by acknowledging the sold out show he headlines. Hearing him point out that his detractors prolly had an Amazon account and therefore are hypocritical for criticizing his business dealings with Target made me think about the dangerous trajectory of that line of thought. It is a line of thought that I believe Jaÿ shares with his detractors. It is not productive to demand perfection from one another. What some call contradictions, I see as complexities. I taught and ministered to children on the same Brooklyn streets Jaÿ illustrated with hopes of providing a path away from those realities. When I was in high school, I protested the building of the Barclays Center not knowing that I would take my kids there later in life. I am mindful of my complicity and understand that I will never reduce my participation in harm to zero. Yet we still must have space to challenge each other to do better. If a rebuke is going to be met with a retelling of my faults, then what is the point of keeping each other on point?I met up with two of my friends from our Hip-Hop discord channel and our conversation eventually drifted toward abolition. Jaÿ is often rightfully criticized for believing capitalism is our way out rather than our cage but with the stakes as high as they are (and always have been?) I'm also tired of cannibalizing. We spend so much time picking each other apart because we disagree on solutions rather than embracing those who also recognize that there is a problem. The forces that seek our destruction have put their differences aside in the name of their common goal. We have an obligation to each other. An obligation that is fulfilled in the midst of our dynamic, never arriving selves. There is always room for us to get better and there is always room for us to celebrate one another.In my most generous thoughts, I think of Shawn Carter as a man who embodies the American definition of success and overcame insurmountable odds to do so. If you experience that kind of winning, you would want to lay the blueprint out so that others can trace your steps as best as they can. I can see his articulation of financial freedom as a form of generosity and inspiration to others. I know entrepreneurs who came up in similar circumstances whose ambition is undergirded by “Jaÿ made it, I can too!” Confessedly, whenever I have success in my career, I play something from Jaÿ's catalog to celebrate.I went to the concert to celebrate my brother's 40th birthday. We talked about being friends since 7th grade, my first year at our school. I mentioned how Volume 2 came out that year and its popularity made my transition into a new school easier. He remarked how there weren't a lot of us at that school and I shared how my strategy of getting through was to not pay attention to how few in number we were. My mindset is best captured by Jaÿ's articulation on “Pound Cake”, “Less is more…it's plenty of us.” As my son begins middle school in parallel circumstances, I hope he finds similar rocket fuel.It is not easy being in a new environment and the difficulty increases when the ceiling they try to place over us is so low. I live my life largely unconcerned with such low expectations and am training my sons to move through the apartheid with the appropriate armor. The gravity of oppression intends to crush our bones and our spirits, it is up to us to remind ourselves of our greatness and to teach our children that their own excellence is accessible.BaddestChaplain's Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.

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.

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.

Mira K. (28) ist ein klassisches "Pick-Me-Girl", für das Optik, der Beauty-Salon und das Fitnessstudio an allererster Stelle stehen. Sie liebt es, sich als makellose Begleitung an der Seite ihres erfolgreichen Ehemanns Lukas zu präsentieren und die Bewunderung anderer Männer zu ernten. Als Tochter Biggie auf die Welt kommt, sieht Mira in dem kleinen Mädchen vor allem einen Störfaktor für ihren straffen Trainingsplan und die eigene Traumfigur. Anstatt Zeit mit ihrem Kind zu verbringen, gibt sie Biggie so früh und so lange wie möglich in die Kinderkrippe ab, um ungestört an ihrem "Babyfett" und den perfekten Oberarm-Umfängen zu arbeiten. Sie hat nicht das geringste Mitgefühl für müde, berufstätige Mütter und genießt lieber ihr Luxusleben. Lukas spielt dieses oberflächliche Spiel lange mit, doch eines Tages ist das Haus plötzlich leer: Lukas hat Biggie mitgenommen und lässt Mira per Brief wissen, dass er das Kind vor dem psychischen Schaden durch eine so vernachlässigende, egoistische Mutter schützen muss. Mira bricht auf dem Küchenboden zusammen, erkennt endlich ihren fatalen Fehler und kämpft nun mithilfe von Anwälten um das Umgangsrecht für Biggie, in der vagen Hoffnung auf ein Wunder und eine allerletzte Chance für ihre zerstörte Familie. -------------- Unser Special Guest: Lydia Prenner-Kasper ✨ Ein riesengroßes Dankeschön an die wundervolle Lydia Prenner-Kasper für den Besuch! Sie bringt uns nicht nur am Podcast-Tisch zum Lachen, sondern rockt mit ihrem scharfen Humor auch die Bühnen des Landes.

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.

The whole crew from is all together in person for an expansive deep dive into the cultural touchstones that shaped a generation. In this episode, we move beyond surface-level takes to dissect the complex legacy of Eddie Murphy's iconic 1982–1992 film run, specifically examining Arsenio Hall's crucial role in sustaining Murphy's momentum during that era.   We also turn up the heat on our recurring music debates. We face the tough questions: Does Ludacris have a true "classic" album, and how do the legendary discographies of Toni Braxton and Donell Jones stack up against one another? We also pay respects to the 30-year legacy of UGK's Ridin Dirty, analyzing how Bun B and Pimp C fundamentally shifted the trajectory of Southern hip-hop. Beyond the music, we tackle the heavy hitters of pop culture—from the mysterious "Oscar Curse" that haunts award-winning actors to the ongoing discourse surrounding the need for a unified Juneteenth anthem. Plus, we discuss the A Different World reboot and the evolving struggle between maintaining celebrity privacy in the age of social media. 0:00 I Only Listen to 90s Music Intro 0:09 Cultural Significance and Costs of Prom Celebrations  3:44 Nostalgic Reflections on Music and Memories from the 2000s  7:12 Eddie Murphy's Career and Arsenio Hall's Role in Saving Coming to America 19:18 Rest in Peace to Peabo Bryson and his many slept on hits  25:14 Whtiney Houston and The Making of Heartbreak Hotel  29:08 TLC, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Nostalgia, and Impact of 90s Hip-Hop and R&B Soundtracks  33:47 Is Ludcaris really slept on as a rapper?  39:16 LA Reid says the best Laface album is Donell Jones.

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.

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.

In this episode of the Ern & Iso Podcast, the fellas dive into one of the most debated hip-hop lists of the year: Complex's Top 50 New York Rappers of All Time.Did they get it right? Did they completely miss the mark? And why does every New York rap list seem to start an argument?Ern and Iso break down the rankings, discuss who was placed too high, who was disrespected, and which legendary MCs deserved a better spot. From the undeniable icons like Jay-Z, Nas, Biggie, Rakim, and LL Cool J to the newer generation of New York stars, the duo debates what really matters when ranking greatness: lyrics, impact, influence, longevity, commercial success, or cultural significance.The conversation also explores New York's historic role in hip-hop, how different eras should be judged, and whether fans allow nostalgia to outweigh actual accomplishments.

It's Michael here - and welcome back to English Tips in a Minute from Happy English. Today, let's look at two really common conversational responses - “no big deal” and “no biggie.”We use no big deal or no biggie to mean “it's not a problem” or “don't worry about it.” They're casual, friendly ways to respond when someone apologizes or thanks you.For example, imagine your friend says: “Sorry I'm a little late.”  You could reply: “No big deal.”Or maybe a coworker says:  “Thanks for helping me with that report.”  You can say: “No biggie!”We also use these phrases when something small goes wrong: “Oops, I spilled a little coffee.”  “Oh, no big deal.”No biggie sounds a little more casual and playful, while no big deal is a bit more common for everyday situations.Lemme know in the comments which one you'd use, and remember to follow or subscribe so you don't miss the next Happy English Podcast and next week's English Tips in a Minute.Hey, thanks for listening — and until next time, keep learning and keep it cool.The Happy English PodcastHelping people speak English better since 2014Over 1,000 episodes • 8 million downloads

One small step into the wrong classroom becomes a giant leap into a new life as a Shakespearean actor. That's how Jacob Ming-Trent tells it in his remarkable one-man tour-de-force, How Shakespeare Saved My Life. As the Folger prepares to welcome How Shakespeare Saved My Life to the stage this June, Ming-Trent joins us to delve deeper into his story. Ming-Trent is no stranger to the Folger stage, having previously presented How Shakespeare Saved My Life at the 2024 Reading Room Festival and portrayed Nick Bottom in A Midsummer Night's Dream in 2022. A multitalented stage and screen actor, he has appeared in Broadway musicals from Gypsy to Shrek, television series like Watchmen and Ray Donovan, and films including The Forty-Year-Old Version and Friendship. In this episode, Ming-Trent presents Shakespeare as an urban poet in the vein of Tupac and Biggie. He breaks down the inspiration behind How Shakespeare Saved My Life and how he brings his own experience to his interpretation of Shakespeare's words, rearranging and reframing them to create something uniquely personal.
