This week on the Need to Know Podcast, Yassy returns as the crew dives into rap's biggest drops, messy beefs, and viral moments. They revisit the Pusha T vs. Jim Jones saga (1:51) before breaking down Clipse's new album Let God Sort Em Out — unpacking Pusha T and Malice's raw verses, Pharrell's production, Kendrick Lamar's feature, and their classic press run (14:55). Next up, Drake's UK drama heats up after his three-night Wireless Fest run sparks debate when he claims UK rappers out-rap Americans (50:14) — leading to critiques of the scene and a mention of the Skepta vs. Joyner Lucas rift (56:38). The crew also reacts to Justin Bieber's surprise SWAG drop (1:12:00), Drake's What Did I Miss charting at #2 (1:26:42), JackBoys 2 (1:38:01), and the wild story of unreleased Beyoncé music being stolen in Atlanta (1:45:35), and plenty more!

What talents are we hiding? What is the one risk we're so glad we took? Who's on our lockscreen? And why do they match? This episode is pure chaos in the best way. We ditched the outline and went straight into a rapid-fire Q&A — talking everything from Kendrick Lamar to wellness hot takes, business outfits, and who plays with fire (we'll let you guess). It's unscripted, unexpected, and totally us. Whether you're walking, meal prepping, or just here for a good laugh with your favorite podcast duo, this one's got something for everyone.

Billboard chart updates are pretty ~ordinary~ this week. Haha. Kendrick Lamar might be nominated for an Emmy today, but Drake is back on the music charts. A middle aged man explains ‘KPop Demon Hunters.' All's fair in love and sleep: Only 30% of couple go to bed at the same time and many don't even share a bed.
‘Superman' is saving dogs! Walt Disney is BACK as an eerily alive animatronic. American Idol's longtime Music Supervisor was mysteriously murdered in her home. The most horrific places a teacher could run into a student or parent have the gang cracking up. Emmy nominations are here! Some Fast Facts we wish we never heard. Miley Cyrus has her sobriety and mental health come first, and we've all heard stories about tours. Fyre Festival has been sold! Any amount of money was too much. Amazon started putting small bookstores out of business 30 years ago today. Plus, a truly heartwarming story about a message in a bottle. Kendrick Lamar might be nominated for an Emmy today, but Drake is back on the music charts. A middle aged man explains ‘KPop Demon Hunters.'

Our season long analysis of Kendrick Lamar's Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers concludes with its final track "Mirror." Serving as a lyrical epilogue to the album's emotional climax, “Mirror” delivers Kendrick Lamar's final moral lesson: “I choose me.” With this mantra, Kendrick brings his morality play to a close, rejecting the performance of salvation in favor of spiritual freedom, radical acceptance, and personal peace. Returning to the character of oklama — “my people” — Kendrick offers listeners the same mirror he used to confront ego, trauma, and public expectation. The result is a parting reflection on self-love, unconditional compassion, and the divine power of choosing yourself. Dissect is part of The Ringer podcast network.

Marc, Kim, and Sue tackle a wild mix of headlines—from a study showing a sharp rise in kids' chronic health issues under Biden-era policies to Temple University now offering a Kendrick Lamar college course. The crew jokes about college basket weaving classes, heavy metal mix-ups, and RFK Jr.'s war on food additives. Tensions in the WNBA heat up as Caitlin Clark snubs Angel Reese from her All-Star roster—Marc says it's jealousy, plain and simple. Plus, McDonald's brings back the snack wrap (to mixed reviews), and someone literally stole a Ronald McDonald statue in Pennsylvania in what they're calling a “McNapping.” Yes, there's even video. Welcome to America 2025.
The Marc Cox Morning Show's second hour cuts through the noise with Marc questioning why America still values gold at 1970s prices despite soaring markets, while highlighting local failures behind the Texas floods—not FEMA. Fox News Radio's Eben Brown joins to condemn media grandstanding during rescue efforts, emphasizing respect over viral moments. Tom Ackerman breaks down Cardinals pitching struggles and the looming MLB draft, plus the ongoing Big Tech censorship headaches. The “In Other News” segment tackles rising chronic health issues in kids under Biden policies, Temple University's new Kendrick Lamar course, WNBA drama as Caitlin Clark snubs Angel Reese, McDonald's snack wrap return, and a bizarre “McNapping” of a Ronald McDonald statue caught on video. The hour is raw, real, and unapologetic.

Our season-long analysis of Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers continues with Part 2 of “Mother I Sober” — the album's emotional and spiritual climax. In this sweeping 48-bar final verse, Kendrick releases decades of generational trauma and invites listeners to witness a ritual of forgiveness, transformation, and liberation. This episode unpacks Kendrick's evolution from fractured self to healing vessel, as he courageously bares his soul and breaks the silence that has haunted his family for generations. Guided by therapy, the divine feminine, and the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, Kendrick reclaims his story — not just for himself, but for his community and children to come.

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! This week's episode began as an investigation into a silly meme and quickly evolved into a crash course into the crossroads where the civil rights movement, Black Liberation Ideology and turn of the century occultism converged to produce the Nation of Islam whos mythic theology details a 6,000 year old big-headed black demiurgic creator being who invented the white race which, in said ideology, is sometimes referred to as “the devil.” In the free side of the show we will discuss the rise of Yakub as described by the Nation of Islam's longtime leader Elijah Mohamed, how aspects of this mythology are active and even pressing in today's cultural landscape and how big pockets of the civil rights movement root structure intersected with popular turn of the century occultism to produce Black Liberation Theology in America. In the extended show we start by indulging our inner history nerd and discover the factual basis upon which Yakub may have been based before settling in with our reading glasses and browse Elijah Mohamed's words in Message to the Blackman of America where the interesting details about Yakub's creations are described in vivid and hilarious detail. Ok, I think you've been thoroughly warned. Thank you and enjoy the show!

Learn more → If you ask any fan of the genre who's pushing jazz into new territory, Kamasi Washington's name will come up—likely at the very top. His 2015 album The Epic won the American Music Prize and stands, in our opinion, as one of the greatest jazz records of the 21st century. Kamasi contributed to Kendrick Lamar's Grammy-winning To Pimp a Butterfly, scored Michelle Obama's Netflix documentary Becoming, and has collaborated with musical legends like Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Lauryn Hill, Nas, Snoop Dogg, Chaka Khan, and many more. In this episode, we spent an evening with Kamasi, exploring his creative process, what he's learned from his collaborators, his philosophy on collaboration, and his latest album, Fearless Movement. Zero Gravity, Wayne Shorter documentary on Amazon Prime Kamasi's newest record, Fearless Movement The Epic Kamasi Washington's website Kamasi Washington, born in Los Angeles in 1981, grew up surrounded by music, with a saxophonist father and a flutist mother who nurtured his musical talent from a young age. Kamasi's journey began with drums and piano in his early years, progressing to the clarinet at age seven and finally to the tenor saxophone at twelve, mirroring his father's path. His high school years at Hamilton High School Music Academy were pivotal; there, he joined the renowned Multi School Jazz Band and learned from jazz icons like Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter. Kamasi's talent was quickly recognized when he won the John Coltrane Saxophone Competition, and he co-founded "The Young Jazz Giants," which marked his early step into professional music. Kamasi's musical evolution continued at UCLA, where he studied ethnomusicology and expanded his understanding of global music traditions. This foundation supported his wide-ranging collaborations beyond jazz, where he worked with artists like Snoop Dogg, Raphael Saadiq, and Kendrick Lamar. Yet, despite his diverse influences, Kamasi remained firmly rooted in jazz, ultimately channeling these experiences into his innovative sound. His 2015 debut album, The Epic, was a monumental release—a three-disc exploration of jazz that introduced a unique blend of spiritual depth and musical complexity. The album garnered critical acclaim, broadening Kamasi's reach and establishing him as a leader in modern jazz. *** This ad-supported episode is available to everyone.

Our season long examination of Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers continues with “Mother I Sober.” This emotionally devastating ballad marks the narrative and spiritual climax of Kendrick Lamar's album. Stripped bare and seated at the piano, Kendrick confronts generational trauma, inherited pain, and the illusion of self that's fractured by abuse, guilt, and silence. Building on the spiritual awareness awakened in “Mr. Morale,” this episode unpacks how Kendrick turns inward with unprecedented vulnerability, guided by the teachings of Eckhart Tolle and buoyed by the divine feminine presences that have supported his healing. You'll Learn: How Kendrick's fragmented narrative and musical structure mirror the psychological effects of trauma and the nonlinear path to healing. Why the song's piano arrangement and mirrored callback to “United in Grief” signify full-circle emotional closure. The symbolism of Kendrick's shattered reflection — and how the broken mirror represents the self before healing. What Beth Gibbons' haunting chorus reveals about ego, identity, and the universal yearning to escape pain. Why “Mother I Sober” is Kendrick's most personal and courageous song to date — and how it breaks the generational curse that defines the album's final act.

As we enter the second half of Blackest History Month 2025, we reflect on themes of power, influence, culture, and resistance, particularly within the context of Black thought, history, and contemporary developments in the US and global social structures. The contrast between figures like Kendrick Lamar (highlighted during the Super Bowl) and Donald Trump illustrates how power often intersects with whiteness, capitalism, and entertainment to shape public consciousness. This is especially evident in major advertising events like the Super Bowl, where creating a cultural moment and capturing attention become paramount. Meanwhile, the increasing channeling of public resources into promoting visions of white supremacy and hypercapitalism has intensified to the point of impunity, daring the rest of us to resist it.Martin Kilson's observation about shifts in African American intellectual and creative circles from pursuing power to emphasizing and commoditizing culture provides a lens through which we can examine intersections of cultural meaning-making and struggle. What happens when contemporary power dynamics—particularly regarding white nationalism and the redirection of both public and private resources—reduce Black Power to mere cultural posturing? Absent the deliberate connection of Movement and Memory to strengthening Africana Governance formations, can cultural influence contribute meaningfully to organizing, resisting, and building for the long term? Or is “playing the great American game” a never-ending cycle of diminishing returns?JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
