Podcasts about Heavy D

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.

This week, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz kick off the summer months with a new installment of the Critics at Large advice series. Listeners' questions run the gamut: a high-school economics teacher seeks films for his students which aren't set in the world of finance; a caller from Iran looks for cultural works to help endure periods of extreme uncertainty; and two friends on the cusp of college graduation ask for recommendations to guide them in their next chapter. “Art is not a thing separate from our troubles or from our awareness of the insane contingencies of life,” Cunningham says. “It's meant as a companion and a response to those. I think that's shining through in some of these questions.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Sorry to Bother You” (2018)“My Architect: A Son's Journey” (2003)“Les dites cariatides” (1984)“Twenty Minutes in Manhattan,” by Michael SorkinThe photography of Eugène AtgetThe music of the Notorious B.I.G., Heavy D, Fat Joe, and Big Pun“Sentimental Education,” by Gustave FlaubertVáclav Havel's “Audience”“The Best of Everything,” by Rona Jaffe“How to Murder Your Life,” by Cat Marnell“Becoming a Centenarian,” by Calvin Tomkins (The New Yorker)“This Old Man,” by Roger Angell (The New Yorker)“Tabula Rasa,” by John McPhee (The New Yorker)“Kramer vs. Kramer” (1979)“Divorcing,” by Susan TaubesElena Ferrante's Neapolitan novels“Ghost World,” by Daniel Clowes“Frances Ha” (2012)“Asparagus” (1979)Roger Payne's “Songs of the Humpback Whale”“Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction,” by J.

Sean Combs, known to many as Puffy or P Diddy, continues to face major headlines as his legal saga unfolds in 2025. Right now, Combs is in the midst of serving a 50-month prison sentence at Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institute in New Jersey. He was convicted in July 2025 on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, following a highly publicized trial that led the court to hand down a sentence of just over four years, with a hefty $500,000 fine according to CBS News and AOL. His expected release date is set for June 4, 2028.Life behind bars has not been easy for the music mogul. Recently, FandomWire and IMDb reported that Combs' safety has been put at risk—he was reportedly attacked in his cell by an inmate wielding a makeshift blade. Diddy's longtime friend, Charlucci Finney, told the Daily Mail that the attack happened while Diddy was sleeping; although he survived, the incident underscored new concerns about his wellbeing as he serves out his sentence. Sources inside the prison also mention that on Halloween, Diddy missed out on the usual treats, trading candy for baked fish and turkey roast, as described by AOL.The legal battles keep stacking up outside his prison walls as well. Diddy has launched a $100 million defamation lawsuit against NBCUniversal, challenging their documentary 'Diddy: The Making Of A Bad Boy' on Peacock. NBC's attorneys have pointed to Combs' own words in court, where he admitted to losing his freedom, career, and reputation because of his decisions, arguing these admissions weaken his defamation case. The documentary's portrayal of accusations—ranging from sexual assault to conspiracy theories concerning the deaths of Kim Porter, Biggie Smalls, and Heavy D—has enraged both Combs' legal team and his supporters. His lawyers contend that the network rushed to publish damaging allegations, but NBCUniversal insists their reporting only referenced widely covered stories from other media.Meanwhile, Combs remains a figure of controversy and intrigue far beyond the studio. Despite no longer heading the empire he built with Bad Boy Records or his business ventures under Combs Global, allegations of witness tampering and influence peddling continue to swirl, further complicating his prospects for any return to the spotlight.Thanks for tuning in for this week's headline update on Sean Combs.

Today we are discussing the Strawberry Festival in Stilwell, Oklahoma. The Stilwell Strawberry Festival is the longest continuous running event in Oklahoma. It's an event held the second Saturday in May, which celebrates the fruit that put us on the map - strawberries. Stilwell Foods once was the place that froze the delicious berries, grown over many acres across the county, and for sale at grocery stores. Stilwell Kiwanis Club started the event, which began in 1947 and was a competition with each of the farms entering one of their berry pickers for the title of Strawberry Festival queen. Today the queen must be from the county and that contest is held in the spring. Friday evenings of the Festival weekend now offers Stilwell's Got Talent. Following the competition a band performed last year. Saturday is a full day of fun for families and everyone. The morning begins early with a 5-K run, and includes a parade with marching bands, crowning of the Strawberry Queen, strawberry judging and a huge strawberry auction fund-raiser, live music, pony rides for kids, and tons of arts and crafts vendors. A carnival sets up on Wednesday and runs through Saturday night, and the rodeo is a highlight of the weekend. The City of Stilwell, Oklahoma is home to global manufacturing, the longest consecutively running event in the state - the Strawberry Festival, parks, walking trails, biking trails, recreation, rivers, lakes and a 4,300 acre reserve, Hunt Mill Hollow Ranch. Also discussed Heavenlee BBQ, Heavy D's Pizza, Luther Pecan Festival, Kiwanis, Lt Governor Matt Pinnell, Norman Medieval Fair, Catoosa Blue Whale, Catoosa, Fox 23, Route 66 Alliance, and Butcher BBQ.

The Mission pauses to say goodbye to George Foreman, which begets a candy bar runoff between Oh, Reggie and Kit Kat, which leads into a Heavy D rap verse review and more, including Six Degrees to two boxers-turned-actors, before Vincent and Len shower praise on writer-director Tayarisha Poe's 2023 introspective romantic drama.

The Men of Micheaux are forced into a review audible, which sparks a longing for the days of physical media, including the once treasured and now expensive “music on vinyl”. Then after chatter about Heavy D, Minnie Ripperton, and the Boo-Ya Tribe (how that happen?), they see what Kasi Lemons wanted to do with The Caveman's Valentine, but maybe Samuel L. Jackson gets in the way.

When the State or National Guard can't complete a rescue mission, it's time to call the Diesel Brothers. “Heavy D” and “Diesel Dave” rose to fame thanks, in part, to a prank that landed them on Jay Leno and then Discovery Channel. But now they've found a much more meaningful passion. The Diesel Brothers have since carried out multiple rescue missions to recover crashed airplanes and missing persons, making use of their most impressive vehicles. These include Heavy D's Black Hawk helicopter, which they say leaves the FAA asking, “Who are these guys and how do we know they aren't going to kill themselves?” In a conversation about trucks, fame, and “rolling coal,” the two men outline their ongoing legal battles with an environmental group in Utah and give their take on the rise of electric vehicles. Heavy D, who has met the President himself, tells Glenn that “Trump has an authentic admiration of Glenn” because he is “legit,” and the three men applaud Trump for not taking on a “God complex” after the assassination attempt. In the end, the pair puts Glenn in the hot seat, asking him to name the one person—alive or dead—that he would most want to have dinner with.     GLENN'S SPONSORS   Jase Medical  Care for yourself and loved ones when the unexpected happens.

Sean "P. Diddy" Combs' Dark Past Revisited as New Documentaries Expose Allegations Sean "P. Diddy" Combs is once again in the spotlight, not for his music or business ventures but for the controversies and scandals that have marked his rise to fame. With two new documentaries—Peacock's Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy and Investigation Discovery's The Fall of Diddy—examining his past, long-standing allegations and tragic events are resurfacing. One of the most harrowing chapters in Combs' history took place on December 28, 1991, during a charity basketball game he co-hosted at New York City's City College. Then a 22-year-old working at Uptown Records, Combs partnered with rapper Heavy D to organize the event. However, the venue, with a capacity of 2,730, was packed with over 5,000 people, while thousands more were stuck outside. The overcrowding led to a deadly stampede as fans surged into the gymnasium. The inward-opening doors created a bottleneck, resulting in 29 injuries and nine fatalities, mostly teenagers. Victims' families filed lawsuits, accusing Combs of overselling tickets, failing to provide adequate security, and promoting the event as if the venue could hold 10,000 people. While Combs and Heavy D were held 50% responsible, with City College bearing the other half, Combs never faced criminal charges. Instead, he settled civil lawsuits, paying families of the victims, including $40,000 to Jason Swain, whose brother died in the stampede. Swain stated in The Making of a Bad Boy: “We got $40,000 from Sean Combs directly. But he never owned up to it, never just said, ‘I apologize.'” In the newly released The Fall of Diddy, other allegations of misconduct add to the controversy. Danyel Smith, former editor-in-chief of VIBE magazine, shared how Combs threatened her over editorial control of a 1997 cover shoot. “He said he would be seeing me dead in a trunk if I did not show it to him,” she recalled. Smith pursued legal action, forcing Combs to issue a written apology. Further claims delve into Combs' time at Howard University, where an anonymous witness recalled him beating a woman with a belt outside a dorm. “When we told him to stop, he yelled for us to stay out of it,” she said. Another pivotal scandal revisited in the series is a 1999 nightclub shooting involving Combs. Wardel Fenderson, Combs' former driver, claimed he witnessed Combs carrying a gun into the venue and later discarding it after the shooting. Natania Griffin, a victim who was shot in the face, identified Combs as the shooter. Fenderson alleged that Combs offered him $50,000 to take the blame, which he refused. Combs was later acquitted, while his associate, Jamal “Shyne” Barrow, was convicted. Tim Patterson, a childhood friend of Combs, revealed further troubling details about his relationships. “Any girl that's with Sean has to be fixed to Sean's specs,” Patterson said, citing incidents of jealousy-fueled abuse against partners, including the mother of Combs' child, Mysa Hilton. These documentaries reveal a complex and controversial figure, whose path to fame is marred by tragedy, unresolved accountability, and allegations of abuse and violence. As legal battles continue, the spotlight on Combs raises questions about power, fame, and justice. #SeanCombs #DiddyControversy #CelebrityScandals #MusicIndustry #Documentaries #LegalDrama #PopCulture Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

How do we find lasting happiness and true fulfillment in a world obsessed with quick wins and instant gratification? In this episode, I've teamed up with some incredible voices—Darren Waller, NFL star and advocate for personal growth, and Heavy D Sparks, entrepreneur and visionary—to unpack what it truly takes to build a life of meaning and purpose. Darren Waller opens up about the illusion of happiness tied to achievements. From making it to the NFL to earning big contracts, Darren shares how these milestones left him unfulfilled until he shifted his focus to the person he was becoming in the process. His message is powerful: fulfillment is rooted in growth, gratitude, and connection—not in the accolades we chase. Heavy D Sparks dives into the mindset that winning isn't just fun—it's the ultimate path to discovering your best self. He emphasizes the importance of doing “God's work” in everything, whether it's on the field, in business, or in relationships. His perspective will challenge you to bring purpose and humility into every endeavor. Throughout the episode, I reflect on my own journey—from thinking money and material things would bring happiness to realizing that true joy comes from using your gifts to serve others. We explore how grind culture often leads high achievers to burnout, and why balance, rest, and self-love are essential parts of the equation for sustained success. Key Takeaways: - Why happiness is fleeting but fulfillment is enduring—and how to cultivate both. - Darren Waller's candid lessons on overcoming identity tied to achievements. - Heavy D's framework for seeing every task as meaningful and impactful. - The importance of balancing drive and ambition with gratitude and self-care. - How serving others with your unique gifts unlocks purpose and lasting joy. This episode is a masterclass in redefining success and aligning your life with what truly matters. No matter where you are on your journey, the insights from Darren, Heavy D, and myself will inspire you to embrace the process, focus on service, and create a life that's not just successful but deeply fulfilling. Let's build lives of impact and purpose—together. Thank you for watching this video—Please Share it and get the word out! What part of this video resonated with you the most? Comment below!
