In this episode of Everyday Black Men, the show kicks off with a surprisingly off-brand intro from Reed, catching everyone off guard. White Collar Suge questions the rise of YNs, joking that they might just be another one of Reed's chaotic personalities gone rogue. The crew dives into a heated conversation about Karl Malone's predatory past, and Riker points out the irony of Jay Z confronting his accuser but avoiding paternity court for the man who claims to be his son. Amid the chaos, Reed jokes about his time as a RadioShack manager, and when everyone else's phones go off with an Amber Alert, Riker says Reed didn't get one because even automated systems know he doesn't care. The episode rounds out with Armstead urging folks not to forget T.I., and the musicians in the group issue a cautionary message to up-and-coming creatives before signing off.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/everyday-black-men--2988631/support.

Monday morning on the Clay Edwards Show, we discuss the Shedeur Sanders draft weekend debacle that saw him and his family taught a valuable lesson that nobody is bigger than the NFL. We're also going to discuss the fact that it appears that sports, entertainment & mainstream pop culture are moving past allowing urban black. hip-hop Democrat death culture to rule the day. I believe what happened in the NFL draft over the weekend drives that point home 100%!! Also, we're going to hit the prank phone call that's exposing the hypocrisy of black fragility. The reaction to the prank call is a perfect example of "if you're not built for this then you need to stay on the sidelines".

Welcome to this week's Indie Artist Music Hustle with Blonde Intelligence. I am your host Ms. Roni and I always seek to give you exquisite cranial repertoire. What happens when artistic influence crosses into imitation? This week's episode dives deep into the controversy surrounding Drake's "Nokia" release and the allegations that he borrowed concepts from another Canadian artist without proper credit. The timing couldn't be more ironic as Drake battles Universal Music Group over his own artistic rights while potentially undermining those of others.We explore the fascinating contrast between Drake's approach and DaBaby's recent freestyle, where the latter paid respectful homage to Kendrick Lamar while maintaining his unique voice. DaBaby's performance showcases how artists can honor their influences without sacrificing authenticity – incorporating complex rhyme schemes and storytelling techniques reminiscent of Kendrick while infusing his own experiences and perspective.The episode examines the unwritten codes of hip-hop culture: when is sampling and referencing acceptable, and when does it cross ethical boundaries? As Kendrick himself stated, "You're not a rap artist, you're a scam artist" – a cutting critique that forces us to question the difference between inspiration and appropriation. We dissect Drake's seemingly contradictory actions, from his emotional vulnerability in lyrics to what critics perceive as calculated controversy, and consider what these actions reveal about artistic identity in today's music landscape. Whether you're a dedicated hip-hop head or simply interested in the ethics of creative expression, this episode offers rich insights into how authenticity shapes our perception of artists and their work. Listen now and join the conversation about what true artistic integrity looks like in modern hip-hop. Remember to follow me @BlondeIntelligence or @rroneiceSupport the show
We're BACK! In the Season 5 premiere I'm joined by Raven Hunter, Diz Mega & Ben Neumann to talk about the West Coast pioneer, King Tee. Tee isn't brought up enough when talking about West Coast artists & their impact. From his iconic album covers, his classic songs from the late 80's/early 90's, to introducing the world to Tha Alkaholiks, the OG member of the Likwit Crew deserves his spot in Hip-Hop history.

Back for round two, we welcome King Supreme Da Don
The hip-hop landscape is shifting beneath Drake's feet. What happens when one of music's biggest commercial stars finds himself increasingly at odds with the culture that helped elevate him? This episode of Indie Artist Music Hustle with Blonde Intelligence pulls no punches as we dissect the fascinating tensions between Drake and the hip-hop community.At the heart of this cultural conversation lies authenticity—that precious currency in hip-hop circles. Drake's tendency to "cosplay" different identities, switching accents and styles depending on who he's around, has many questioning his artistic core. We explore how this chameleon-like quality, while showcasing versatility, raises legitimate concerns about genuineness in a genre built on keeping it real.The musical boundaries Drake crosses—blending pop, R&B and hip-hop—have broadened his appeal but alienated purists. As one critic memorably described it, Drake creates "target music"—something pleasant to shop to rather than art addressing real struggle. This perception stands in stark contrast to artists like Kendrick Lamar, who many believe has "annihilated Drake in every form of hip-hop." We examine how this competition plays out in an ecosystem where battles have historically operated without rules, and whether Drake's more emotional approach contradicts hip-hop's combative traditions.Beyond the music itself, we tackle the thorny questions of cultural appropriation and collaboration. Does Drake elevate the artists he works with, or simply absorb their styles before moving on? Has he benefited from Black culture without properly acknowledging its origins? From Megan Thee Stallion to Rick Ross, we highlight the growing chorus of voices challenging Drake's place in the culture.Ready for a thought-provoking deep dive into hip-hop's evolving landscape?

Send us a textIn this episode of Veto's Cornerwe're breaking down the hottest topics in music, culture, and entertainment. We kick things off by celebrating Travis Hunter's monumental Heisman Trophy win before diving into the latest drama surrounding him and his fiancée, Leanna Lenee, as they tackle social media criticism about their relationship. Next, we take a closer look at Usher's concert antics—his serenades are reaching new levels, but is he taking it too far? Then it's on to Lil Baby, who's gearing up to drop his highly anticipated album *WHAM* to kick off the new year. We also get into Tory Lanez's controversial jail verse and Megan Thee Stallion's move for a restraining order, unpacking the messy dynamics of their ongoing situation. From there, it's all about Sexy Red, who's responding unapologetically to backlash over her explicit lyrics, and 50 Cent and Tony Yayo taking us down memory lane with an unforgettable G-Unit moment. It's a mix of drama, music, and nostalgia, so stick around—it's a show you won't want to miss!Support the showFor all advertising opportunities email contact@vetoscorner.comFollohttps://on.soundcloud.com/hgBygU7aEBexoABm7w Veto's Corner: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vetoscornerpodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VetosCornerPodcast Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@VetoscornerpodcastYoutube Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@vetoscornerpodcast Follow Veto Vangundy: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vetovangundy Twitter: https://twitter.com/vetovangundy Follow Kyng Musix: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Ky.n.gmusix Disclaimer "Welcome to “Veto's Corner”.
