Podcast appearances and mentions of Kendrick Lamar

In this bonus episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B and the crew jump into one of the most polarizing conversations in sports and politics: transgender women competing in women’s athletics. The discussion begins with a sports rant [00:06 ] before asking who should ultimately determine WNBA eligibility rules—the league, its players, governing bodies, or outside lawmakers [ 01:08 ]. The crew weighs arguments surrounding biology, gender identity, and athletic competition [ 02:36 ], including questions of physicality and competitive fairness [ 05:57 ], before testing the conversation through hypothetical locker-room scenarios [ 07:15 ] and considering how much voting power WNBA players themselves should have over league policy [ 08:22 ]. They unpack what people actually mean when discussing gender transition [ 10:48 ] and question whether the larger controversy has become a political distraction from issues with a more direct impact on everyday Americans [ 14:26 ], before humor enters the debate through a conversation about the financial realities associated with transitioning [ 15:26 ]. The crew switches gears to music [ 20:42 ] after encountering a report claiming releases from major artists including Taylor Swift, Drake, Bad Bunny, and Kendrick Lamar coincided with increases in deadly traffic crashes [ 20:49 ]. Rather than accepting the headline at face value, they question correlation versus causation [ 21:59 ], dig into the statistics, methodology, data sources, and variables that could influence the findings [ 25:28 ], and debate whether audience and attendance numbers complicate the conclusions [ 26:48 ]. Hip-hop discourse continues as they unpack The Game’s grievances involving Kendrick Lamar and Nipsey Hussle’s circle [ 27:12 ], questioning mixed messages, loyalty, comparisons, and when legitimate criticism begins to resemble attention-driven conflict [ 30:02 ]. Politics returns to the forefront as the hosts react to Elon Musk calling for Derek Chauvin’s release [ 32:25 ], debating whether provocative culture-war issues are being used to energize political audiences while larger policy concerns receive less attention. From there, they redirect the conversation toward what they consider the “real issues” affecting everyday life, including healthcare, education, voting rights, employment, government services, and the rising cost of travel [ 35:33]. The crew identifies three policy areas they believe deserve greater public attention [ 42:26 ] before examining the economics of the American healthcare system and the tension between patient care and profit [ 50:27 ]. Naturally, Selective Ignorance finds room for one last detour—the timeless ranch versus blue cheese debate [ 53:16 ]—before wrapping the bonus episode with final thoughts and credits [ 55:29 ].

On this episode of the MalloryBros. Podcast, they kick things off with the drama around The Game and Kendrick Lamar that's been brewing over the weekend after The Game seemingly takes multiple shots sprinkled with love. The Bros discuss if a "Game VS Kendrick" Battle would even happen and that pushes the conversation to WHO CAN GET KENDRICKS ATTENTION? Terrance doesn't believe Kendrick will see a valuable enough opponent in anyone while Terrell remains optimistic. They both speak about Kendricks nickname the "Boogeyman" and what that name means TODAY. Next the Bros talk IN SHORT about Dr. Dre's AI comments that sent a shock through the music industry from the iconic producer and that leads to a conversation on LA HAT CULTURE after a 19 year old kid lost his life supposedly over a his hat. This turns to a conversation about the last realization of a street guy. The realization that it only ends 2 ways. Next they talk about Inde Naverette's choice to turn down Heat 2 and a 2 and half million dollar HORROR role to do a MARVEL role, and the Cleveland Browns name Deshaun Watson QB1 which means the Browns might actually HATE Shedeur Sanders. Lastly, they talk about Tank Davis/Devin Haney situation and how disrespect has reached new heights. Follow Us on Twitter @MalloryBros9 for all updates!

What if modern hip-hop united for social change the way it did in 1989? In this episode of Hip Hop What Ifs, host A and 12 Kyle are joined by hip-hop legend D-Nice to recount the history and cultural weight of anti-violence anthems. The crew also examines the West Coast's 1990 response, "We're All in the Same Gang," and explores why modern hip-hop struggles to produce similar unity projects today. From record label economic incentives that monetize violence to industry fragmentation, ego, and shorter song trends, we examine what it would take for figureheads like Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, or Kanye West to rally the culture once again.   Chapters 0:00 - Imagining Alternate Paths in Hip-Hop History 0:46 - D-Nice on Producing "Self Destruction" at 18 Years Old 6:04 - Late 80s Concert Culture & Media Stereotypes of Violence 10:48 - Assembling the Superheroes: The Stop the Violence Movement 16:49 - The West Coast Unites: "We're All in the Same Gang" 22:52 - Why Modern Hip-Hop Lacks Conscious Unity Anthems 29:28 - Industry Politics: How Labels Profit Off Violence 34:24 - Who Has the Influence to Rally Rap Today?

New York summertime in all of its glory. New York City has had an epic few months. From clinching a milestone NBA Championship title, to Mayor Mamdani rolling out affordable housing and fixing potholes, to World Cup fever, the summer of 2026 has (for the most part) been a rush of pure elation for residents. Soundtracking it all is Public Service. Even if there's no special occasion, the atmosphere is always electric. Multiple dance cyphers form; musicians bring instruments to jam; free pizza is distributed; informal marketplaces emerge in the back. Public Service is a living tapestry of block party culture, serving as a reminder that church-like communal joy doesn't need four walls or a roof. Toribio and Perez man the decks each time, dishing out heaters across Afro house, dembow, cumbia, electro, hip-hop and techno. It might be the city's only DIY party where you can hear Jackmaster, Kendrick Lamar and Willie Colón in a single hour or see kids, aunties and grandfathers in the crowd. RA.1053 is a recording of this year's season opener in May—its vibrant blends and carnival-like mood will likely have more than a few listeners planning trips to experience the magic. Taking place in Brooklyn parks during the summer and clubs during cold weather, the party has also held editions in Detroit, Miami and Montréal. Sound is powered by hot pink speaker stacks, decorated with flower garlands, courtesy of Karlala Soundsystem whose founder Karl Scholz regularly provides rentals for free or at a sliding scale to cultural organisers. A true labour of love, the gathering relies on donations to fund operating costs and city permits. Based on the ever-expanding number of regulars, fuelled by word-of-mouth recommendations, it's only a matter of time before Public Service becomes a global phenomenon.

We're breaking down the legal drama as Tyra Banks sues Netflix for making her look like the ultimate villain by editing three hours of interview footage into just 16 minutes of heat.

Rapper Tupac Shakur is one of the most influential music artists ever - with musicians such as Kendrick Lamar, Justin Bieber and Drake citing him as a major inspiration. His career was cut short in 1996 when he was killed in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas - but now, nearly three decades later, a man is going on trial, accused of his murder. He's called Duane "Keffe D" Davis - he has pled not guilty and denies all allegations.So, what we can expect from the trial? And how is Tupac's music continuing to influence hip-hop, decades after his murder?We speak to culture journalist Ivie Ani, who's based in New York, to learn more about the impact Tupac has had on music today. We also hear from Tupac fans that have discovered his legacy in the years since his death - and from Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty, host of the BBC's Fame Under Fire podcast. She is in Las Vegas covering the rapper's murder trial.You can follow the trial by listening to the Fame Under Fire podcast here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0030zm4Instagram: @bbcwhatintheworld Email: whatintheworld@bbc.co.uk WhatsApp: +44 330 12 33 22 6 Presenter: Hannah Gelbart Producers: William Lee Adams, Chelsea Coates and Emma-Louise Amanshia Editors: Verity Wilde

Episode 498 features the New Old Heads breaking down the truth behind Kendrick Lamar cutting off The Game, exposing how the 100 video shoot in Compton and the genius timing of "6:16 In LA" proved Kendrick was always 10 steps ahead. We also react to Drake warning his rivals that his "pen isn't dry," debating if his constant need for validation prevents him from establishing a fresh chapter. Finally, we analyze the absolute best argument against AI in Hip Hop, discussing why prompting a computer makes you a project manager, not a creative. Support the show

Thxrsday is an emerging artist whose music turns overthinking, vulnerability, and real-life experiences into deeply personal storytelling. Born in Colorado and connected to Tennessee, his journey has helped shape an evolving sound influenced by artists like Kendrick Lamar, Juice WRLD, XXXTentacion, and The Weeknd—the latter even inspiring his artist name through the project Thursday. His new project, O V R T H I N K, captures the thoughts and emotions that can become difficult to express anywhere outside of music, with each song telling its own individual story. Rather than arranging the album chronologically, Thxrsday focused on how the records connected sonically, creating a listening experience built around feeling and atmosphere. The title track, “O V R T H I N K,” comes to life over a rock-inspired production from youngtaylor_, while the project also hints at Thxrsday's desire to continue experimenting beyond traditional genre boundaries, including exploring EDM. In this interview, he opens up about using music as therapy, the challenges of being vulnerable, the creative decisions behind O V R T H I N K, and how far he's willing to push his artistry in the next chapter.

Margo is joined by Kim Robinson, founder of 3pts and a longtime contributor to and advocate for creative communities. With more than 15 years of experience at cultural platforms including The FADER, Complex, Red Bull, and the American Museum of Natural History, Kim has worked alongside artists like Solange, Kendrick Lamar, Spike Lee, Erykah Badu, and Tyler, the Creator. Raised within underground punk, hip-hop, electronic music, and art scenes, Kim eventually founded 3pts to put his experience directly in service of makers and creative entrepreneurs, helping them build sustainable careers on their own terms. Kim and Margo explore what working behind the scenes in music and culture taught him about what artists actually need, why he continues to approach his work as a fan first, and the role community plays in building a sustainable creative life. Margo and Kim discuss: How growing up in DIY punk, hip-hop, electronic music, and art scenes shaped Kim's approach to creativity and community What working with major artists and cultural platforms taught him about the realities of building a creative career Why Kim leads with a "fan first" mentality and how genuine curiosity has guided his career Why community is the invisible infrastructure behind so many successful creative careers Moving beyond the myth of the self-made artist and recognizing the people, resources, and relationships that help us grow Defining success on your own terms rather than following someone else's blueprint for a creative business The value of practical support—from sharing opportunities and resources to having someone a few steps ahead show you what's possible Connect with Kim: Website: www.3pts.co Instagram: www.instagram.com/3ptsco Substack: 3pts.substack.com A monthly newsletter dedicated to sharing opportunities for makers such as grants, residencies, open calls, markets and more. https://us7.campaign-archive.com/home/?u=eb522373216e8266b4805a156&id=45f83f7c19 Connect with Margo: www.windowsillchats.com www.instagram.com/windowsillchats www.patreon.com/inthewindowsill

What if the most mythical unreleased album in music history actually dropped? In this episode of Hip Hop What Ifs, D and 12 Kyle (from the 12 Kyle Podcast) take a deep dive into Dr. Dre's legendary, shelved project, Detox. Announced around 2002 as Dre's final concept album and magnum opus, Detox became rap's ultimate urban legend before officially being shelved in 2015 in favor of Compton. We break down the timeline, leaked tracks like "Kush" and "I Need a Doctor," and iconic beats that were repurposed for other megastars—including 50 Cent's "In Da Club" and Kendrick Lamar's "The Recipe". Plus, we discuss how Detox could have re-established West Coast dominance, the ripple effect on artists like Rakim, Eve, and Stat Quo, Dre's studio perfectionism, and a debate on Jay-Z's discography.

Send in your music story!Somebody gets “killed off” by food poisoning, Florida delivers a hit and run story before breakfast, and then we do what we always do: turn the chaos into a music debate you can't stop listening to. While Chris is out, we run Round Two of our music bracket with the kind of honesty that makes brackets dangerous, because once you say a pick out loud you have to live with it.We dig into Ariana Grande's new album Petal and argue about what happens when production goes bold and psychedelic while the vocal choices stay safe. We talk about 70s coded pop, disco textures, and why an album can feel seamless yet still leave you unable to tell one song from another. We also touch on public scrutiny, celebrity image shifts, and why stepping back from appearances can feel like boundary setting or like a dramatic “end of an era” depending on who's listening.Then we jump back into pure bracket mode: hip hop matchups like Eminem vs Kendrick Lamar, Outkast vs Jay Z, and the moral and musical tension of ranking Kanye West's influence while refusing to endorse his behavior. Modern pop brings the heat with Sabrina Carpenter, Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, and Harry Styles, and pop icons force the big questions about legacy with Michael Jackson, Prince, Whitney Houston, and more. We cap it all with a country finale powered by one undeniable truth: Friends In Low Places is basically a communal ritual.Hit play, pick a side, and then subscribe, share the episode, and leave a review so more music nerds can jump into the bracket with us.Support the showPlease give us a quick rate and review.

BioFilmmaker Meosha Bean interviews artist Thursday Bio Thxrsday is a hip hop artist born in Colorado and raised in Tennessee who uses music as a way to express his experiences, emotions, and perspective on life. Inspired by artists such as The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar, Juice WRLD, and XXXTentacion, Thxrsday blends hip hop with rock influences and a growing interest in exploring different genres. His artist name was inspired by The Weeknd's mixtape *Thursday*, a project that deeply resonated with him and influenced his creative journey. Through his music, Thxrsday embraces vulnerability and authenticity, turning real life experiences into songs that allow listeners to connect with their own emotions. His upcoming album *O V R T H I N K* features nine songs, each telling its own story while showcasing his versatility as an artist. The title track, “O V R T H I N K,” was inspired by a rock based guitar beat that encouraged him to open up and speak honestly through his music. For Thxrsday, creating music is a form of therapy and a way to share the parts of himself that are often difficult to express.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

Send us Fan MailA $10 million bet sounds like fun until you hear what it's really saying. We break down the viral claim that the Las Vegas Aces could be beaten by a high school boys basketball team, why that “debate” keeps getting oxygen, and how it turns elite women's basketball into a shortcut for clicks. If you're a real WNBA fan, you already know how wild that framing is and we say it with our chest: put respect on the league and on A'ja Wilson.From there we get into the bigger WNBA conversation sports media keeps dodging. Is the face of the league the best player, or the player who brings the most attention? We go back and forth on A'ja Wilson versus Caitlin Clark, including how rivalries, race, and storylines shape what casual fans see. Then we zoom out to the NBA and ask a question that's harder than it sounds right now: who is the face of the league in 2026, and does being the best even matter for that title?We also switch gears into classic Mixed Vibes territory: podcasting as a hobby versus a hustle after hearing a take about “self-funded podcasts,” a quick argument about sunglasses indoors and the energy it gives off, plus a ranking of Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Big Sean, J. Cole, and Wale concerts with some painfully accurate fan stereotypes. We close with a raw story about heartbreak, bad decisions, and learning the hard way.If you rock with the pod, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a rating and review so more people can find us.

Send us Fan MailYour brain is making a decision about someone before they even say a word and it might be the wrong one. We start with a real, funny, and surprisingly thoughtful sit-down with Charlotte artist AAsher Saintt, digging into what makes him who he is beyond music: an introvert with a loud internal world, a love for walking, and a mission-driven approach to art.

Send us Fan MailWould you flip draft picks for Bronny James if it guaranteed you also landed LeBron James? We start there and immediately run into the real questions NBA fans argue about every day: what's the actual price of a superstar, how does roster fit change everything, and is LeBron better treated like a power forward at this point in his career. We also talk about what that move could mean for Bronny's minutes, development, and whether riding with your dad feels like a dream situation or a retirement tour you'd rather skip.Then the conversation jumps from basketball into the loud world of sports media and celebrity narratives. We get into the constant churn of NBA shows, why it's easy to burn out on nonstop debate content, and how quickly platforms switch directions when a contract ends. From there, we unpack the LaVar Ball and Lonzo Ball relationship headlines and the bigger issue behind them: when a public figure shares personal details, the internet doesn't treat it like a private moment, it treats it like a storyline. We argue over what counts as cheating, whether “living your truth” helps or hurts, and how double standards shape the reaction.We close with a fast-moving culture run: Lil Wayne tour drama and what fans are owed when tickets aren't cheap, Drake streamer clips and Saucy Santana's clapbacks, and a real debate on BET Awards choices like Kendrick Lamar winning again versus artists who arguably had the bigger year. We even touch Zeus Network celebrity boxing, including Ray J vs Orlando Brown, while giving props to Clarissa Shields for building a bigger platform for women's boxing.

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the GRAND FINALE (Session 12) on lyin' Michelle Alexander's *The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness*. Alexander has a living White mother and a deceased Black father. Despite 15 years of institutional celebration for her work, Gus T. anticipated this title being one of the "5 Worst Books Ever." History shows that racists generally do not promote literature that provides an accurate understanding of the System of White Supremacy. This week, we drop the final Mario Elie "Kiss of Death" three-pointer on this text, permanently closing the casket on a 15-year academic hustle. We open the final chapter, *Obama: The Promise and the Peril*, and interrogate the absolute peak of her biographical dishonesty where she explicitly labels Affirmative Action a "racial bribe" that Black people must surrender to play academic "games of chicken" with their own survival. We back up our 12-week forensic media audit by deploying a devastating 14-minute custom audio track from our own 2010 CREE archive and 2016 public media slips. We let the Pusha T, Kendrick Lamar, Ray Charles, and Neely Fuller Jr. audio do the talking because Michelle Alexander has officially fouled out of the game! THE 15-POINT FORENSIC AUDIT SUMMARY: 1. The Manufactured "Underdog" Narrative: Claims she launched to half-empty rooms to conceal the massive institutional "push" that put her on C-SPAN, NPR, and Democracy Now within 5 months of publication. 2. Systemic Deception by Omission: Completely erases COINTELPRO, Jon Burge's torture ring, Attica, and the Black Panthers to bury earlier, more accurate structural work on the Prison-Industrial Complex. 3. Hidden Biographical Motivation: Willfully conceals her multi-ethnic background to hide her personal family defenses under the guise of objective scholarship. 4. Centering White Trauma: Explicitly argues that White women who chose to have interracial relationships under Jim Crow were primary, injured victims of a racial caste system. 5. The Fraudulent "Bribe" Thesis: Claims White people must be "bribed" to practice Racism, belied by a System of White Supremacy where whiteness automatically requires total domination. 6. Reckless Statistical Manipulation: Arbitrarily changes her state prison violent offender statistic from 33% to 52% between editions with zero data reconciliation or explanation. 7. Specious Claims as Fact: Drops massive, sweeping assertions straight onto the print page with absolutely zero footnotes or supporting empirical documentation. 8. The 1980s Progress Myth: Asserts that by the 1980s, the vast majority of White people opposed the practice of Racism—a completely ahistorical claim unsupported by any evidence. 9. Pathologizing Defense Mechanisms: Labels Affirmative Action a "racial bribe" for Black people, telling the victims of state terror to disarm while the system keeps its weapons. 10. Erasing the Real Beneficiaries: Refuses to inform readers of macro-data showing that White women have historically benefited most from Affirmative Action pipelines. 11. The "Accidental" Absolution: Labors mightily to frame the White power structure as ignorant, well-meaning, and "accidentally" racist to shield calculated state intent from exposure. 12. Coddling Whites, Targeting Black Institutions: Sweeps away structural White guilt while using print space to aggressively scold the CBC, the NAACP, and Bill Cosby. 13. Minstrel Linguistic Framing: Selectively quotes Black interviewees in broken, stereotypical English to frame them as inarticulate and implicitly deserving of incarceration. 14. Double-Dipping the Carceral Ledger: Hides that her husband Carter Stewart profited as a federal prosecutor caging Black bodies, while she profited off the fake literary outrage industry. 15. White-Identified Pronoun Usage: Deploys a slippery use of "we," "us," and "our" to identify with White spaces and lump the victims of Racism in as equally culpable for the system.

The BET Awards takeover brought star power and big conversations to the Rickey Smiley Morning Show, led by Gary With Da Tea’s exclusive interviews with Johnny Gill and rising R&B star Tone Stith. Gill reflected on his legendary career while celebrating the release of his new single,“A Dance, A Kiss,” a collaboration produced by Snoop Dogg that he described as one of those rare records that instantly feels special. Recent reports note the song arrived following the success of his Billboard Adult R&B hit “One Night” and serves as a preview of more music and touring plans to come. Meanwhile, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Tone Stith discussed his journey from writing hits for artists like Chris Brown to stepping into the spotlight with his debut album The Edge, powered by his chart-topping single“Fly,” which recently reached No. 1 on the Adult R&B charts.
