In this moment of media fragmentation and the rise of niche communities, are there still ways to reach mass audiences? This week, Ben and Max bring on legendary marketing executive, Frank Cooper, who's always been at the center of big cultural shifts from his time at Def Jam in the 90s, AOL in the 2000s, and BuzzFeed in the 2010s. Throughout his career, he's also been seen as the culture translator for big corporations, as the CMO at PepsiCo and the CMO of Visa. They talk about Frank's unique career, who and what he thinks still moves people in mass — like Post Malone at the Louvre — and what he makes of this particular moment in the culture. He also shares stories from his time working in hip hop, what he's learned from LL Cool J, and how Snoop Dogg became the world's most marketable star.

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticIn this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz examines the meteoric rise of LiAngelo Ball, now known as GELO in the music world, particularly with his hit single "Tweaker" and its highly anticipated remix with Lil Wayne. Released in January 2025, "Tweaker" quickly became a cultural phenomenon, climbing to #29 on the Billboard Hot 100 and gaining millions of streams on Spotify and views on YouTube. GELO, who transitioned from basketball to music, signed a substantial $13 million deal with Def Jam while maintaining ownership of Born2Ball Music Group. The remix, dropped on February 7, 2025, features Lil Wayne, whose verse GELO compares to Wayne's iconic Dedication mixtape era, marking a significant endorsement for GELO's burgeoning music career. This collaboration not only amplifies the song's visibility but also signals GELO's intent to continue pushing boundaries in hip-hop. Analytic Dreamz discusses the cultural impact, including its adoption in sports locker rooms and its viral spread, alongside GELO's upcoming plans which include performing at Rolling Loud California and releasing new music like "Can You Please?". The segment also touches on the strategic timing of this remix with Lil Wayne announcing his own album, "Tha Carter VI", showcasing how GELO is leveraging high-profile collaborations to cement his place in the music industry.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

LEGENDS NEVER DIERest in peace to a true icon, Irv Gotti. His impact on hip-hop, the culture, and so many of us personally is undeniable. I had the honor of sharing some unforgettable moments with him—soaking up wisdom, laughing, and watching a mastermind at work. The game he gave me still guides me to this day.For those who don't know, RIDINOUTALLDAY exists because of Irv. He called us road warriors, saying he hadn't traveled, hustled, and moved like that since his tour days with Jay-Z, Ja Rule, Def Jam, and Murder Inc. Those moments of recognition from him weren't just words—they were fuel. He saw the grind, the movement, and his words changed the course of my life.In this quick episode, we look back at one of the many classic moments with Irv, from when we had him at Exxxotica Jersey in Edison. His reaction to seeing a sub on a leash with a dom? Pure comedy. But that was Irv—sharp, real, and didn't give a FUCK!!Rest in power, legend. Your influence will never fade.

1987 - January: Beastie Boys “Licensed to Ill”

What the Riff?!?

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 13, 2025 39:31


It's not every day that we at What the Riff?!? review a rap album, but the Beastie Boys aren't your every day rap group either.  Hailing from New York City, Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz, Adam “MCA” Yauch, and Michael “Mike D” Diamond came out of an experimental hardcore punk band (think “punk” but faster) called The Young Aborigines.  After changing their name to the Beastie Boys, they saw some local success from a comedy hip hop single based on a prank call to a Carvel Ice Cream franchise.  They then began to incorporate more rap and hip hop into their sets, and ended up connecting with Rick Rubin, who formed Def Jam Recordings with Russell Simmons.Many of their songs were locally distributed, and led to uncomfortable situations when three white guys would show up to perform for a mostly black audience that had heard their music but never saw the group.  Their courage and live performance skills won the audience over.Shortly after supporting Madonna as an opening act on the Virgin Tour in 1985, the band recorded their debut studio and breakthrough album, Licensed to Ill.  It was released by Def Jam and Columbia Records, and became one of Columbia Records' fastest-selling debut records, and had shipped over ten million copies in the United states by 2015.  It was also a critical success, and was selected as one of "The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums."  It was hailed for hits stylized rapping, and its combination of hip hop and punk sensibilities.The Beastie Boys would go on to greater heights of stardom in the mid to late 90's as they moved in a more alternative direction, but this is where it all started.Lynch brings us this illin' record for today's podcast. No Sleep Till BrooklynThe song that opens side 2 is inspired by an exhausting tour, and it chronicles many of the events that wear the band out along with their determination to not rest until they get back home to Brooklyn.  It is often the closing song at their concerts.  It also features a solo guitar riff by Kerry King of the heavy metal band Slayer.  Paul RevereThis song is a fictionalized account of how the Beastie Boys met.  It was inspired by an incident when they encountered Joseph Simmons aka "Run" of Run-D.M.C. in a recording studio.  It features a reversed beat from an 808 drum machine.Hold It Now, Hit ItThis was the first single to be released from the album, and was ranked number 27 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop.  The video switches between concert footage, and the band lip synching in front of a fish-eye lens.  Brass MonkeyThis is a later-produced song that takes its name from an alcoholic drink by the Heublein Company.  It samples Wild Sugar's “Bring It Here” in the song. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:If I Only Had A Brain by Ray Bolger and Judy Garland (from the motion picture “The Wizard of Oz”)Actor, dancer, and singer Ray Bolger who played the scarecrow in “The Wizard of Oz” died in January of 1987. STAFF PICKS:Still In Hollywood by Concrete BlondeWayne kicks off the staff picks with the debut single from American alternative rock group Concrete Blonde's first and self-titled album.  This post-punk sound was bubbling up in the LA street scene at the time, and the lyrics portray a life in Hollywood where the town drags you down.  Right Next Door (Because of Me) by Robert CrayBruce's staff pick is a song off Robert Cray's fifth studio album, “Strong Persuader.” The lyrics chronicle an infidelity breaking up a marriage as told from the man who had an affair with the next door wife.  Cray played with a number of artists, and was at the final concert with Stevie Ray Vaughan before his death in a helicopter crash. Too Hot to Stop by Benjamin OrrRob brings us a solo single from the second vocalist of The Cars.  This keyboard-heavy piece was off Orr's only solo album entitled “The Lace.”  After they released their Greatest Hits album in 1985, The Cars briefly split up to pursue solo projects, and both Orr and Ocasek hit the charts.Land of Confusion by GenesisLynch closes out the staff picks with a rare political track from Genesis that questions global leadership and the threat of nuclear war during the cold war era.  It is famous for its video which uses puppets from Peter Fluck and Roger Law caricaturing political figures of the time, and the band members themselves. COMEDY TRACK:Ronnie's Rap by Ron and the DC CrewRonald Reagan was a hot commodity for comedy in 1987, as this satirical rap shows.   Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?” NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.
