Sorry for the thin gruel this month   Season 4 of Doug was weird because they did the Martin Lawrence arc and half of it was about Didi getting bred and his name was Caillou but they made him look like Eddie Murphy in a fat suit. Jay-Z clearly never saw Squid Game or Get Out in 2010 or he would have mentioned Young Hee

Who knew the story behind hip-hop's biggest tragedy would also ignite one of the most memorable moments in the genre?This month on ThrowBLKs, we're hitting the time machine to revisit a highly competitive era as two emcees begin their legendary careers as egos clash throughout the city. Hear how Nas' game-changing debut "Illmatic" influenced another 1994 rap classic, leading Ghostface and Raekwon to call out The Notorious B.I.G. -- the incomparable rookie that was very close to another rising talent in Brooklyn named Jay-Z. As years pass, Jay-Z and Nas both become involved in the controversial beef with B.I.G. and 2Pac, both receiving individual disses from the two legends. Unfortunately, tensions lead to deaths that left a very empty throne for the taking. Rap fans witnessed many years of sneak disses and competitive jabs between Nas and Jay-Z, setting a slow burn for the release of two albums that changed both artists' careers: 'The Blueprint' and 'Stillmatic'.Hear our track-by-track relisten of both albums to share why their showdown still runs conversations today, including our favorite moments between the projects, a retrace of how the battle was viewed within New York City and the parallel's between 2024's clash between Kendrick Lamar and Drake.

When you hear how John Figueiredo went from running a $100M cannabis company, IPO'ing alongside Jay-Z, and literally burying cash underground… to buying 19 rentals in his first year, you'll understand why his pivot into real estate is one of the wildest stories we've ever covered. In this episode, John breaks down the markets he chose, the partners he trusted (and the ones he shouldn't have), how he scaled a portfolio fast, and why real estate became the most stable, wealth-building move after surviving a high-risk industry. KEY TALKING POINTS:0:00 - Intro0:54 - John Figueiredo's First Deal5:48 - What He Did After Buying His First Property9:55 - Finding Good Property Managers13:39 - Why He Was Interested In Real Estate15:48 - Getting Into Wholesaling18:26 - His Marketing Strategies25:00 - Scaling The Business and Underwriting Guidelines31:56 - Why He Uses Cash Instead Of Financing32:43 - Other Investments He's Making and Asset Allocation38:13 - Selling His Cannabis Company43:31 - Closing Thoughts44:56 - Outro LINKS:Instagram: John Figueiredohttps://www.instagram.com/fig.time/ Links: John Figueiredohttps://linktr.ee/fig_time Instagram: David Leckohttps://www.instagram.com/dlecko Website: DealMachinehttps://www.dealmachine.com/pod Instagram: Ryan Haywoodhttps://www.instagram.com/heritage_home_investments Website: Heritage Home Investmentshttps://www.heritagehomeinvestments.com/

Now distributed, managed, and published exclusively through Roc Nation, Uzi joins an ultra-elite circle alongside only Jay-Z and Rihanna. Roc Nation President Krystian Santini hails Uzi as a “global icon” granted complete creative control with maximum resources.The new era launched with a surprise two-pack drop: morning single “Chanel Boy” (prod. ZeeGoinXrazy) – a high-synth Eternal Atake throwback dripping in Chanel luxury references – paired with a gritty NYC video featuring helicopters, Black SUVs, and full designer flex. Hours later came “Relevant” (prod. Trillion & Rima), a red-bandana Balenciaga statement reasserting dominance with immediate visual accompaniment.Analytic Dreamz breaks down the full 2025 context: Uzi's low-profile year, cleared sexual harassment lawsuit (dismissed with prejudice), and the active $110M copyright case over “Just Wanna Rock” claiming 93–97% melodic similarity to Rief Rawyal's “Pain and Pleasure.”This segment analyzes how Uzi's Roc-backed independence creates one of rap's most powerful artist-business structures, signals a return to beloved spacey sonics, and kicks off a new rollout era with unstoppable momentum. Essential listening for Uzi fans and hip-hop business observers.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Barry Krutchik is an legendary Hollywood and pop culture journalist who has conducted over 2000 celebrity interviews across music, film & television over the past 40 years, capturing raw, unscripted moments — from Bob Hope to The Beastie Boys, Santana to Stevie Wonder, Jerry Seinfeld to Jay Z, Mick Jagger, Keanu Reaves, Dave Chappelle, Celine Dion ... basically, the biggest stars EVER! Whether backstage or behind the camera, Barry's authenticity & quick humor helped high-profile stars feel at home, resulting in raw, unscripted moments. Barry makes things fun! After a decade, he stopped doing interviews in 2002. “By the third time you're interviewing Peter Frampton, it might be time to try something else” he jokes, a surreal realization, considering that twelve-year-old Barry would've never believed he'd even meet Frampton. So, he launched Krutchie Entertainment and, using his vast trove of celebrity contacts, began booking talent and producing high-impact media events for the Grammys, MTV, BET, FOX, Cirque du Soleil, and more. Over the decades, as technology, public relations and the world of entertainment  changed radically, Barry's professional opportunities also changed. He was no longer a hungry young journalist but a seasoned gentleman in an industry looking for youth and diversity. Then, Covid destroyed his live events business overnight. Terrified, Barry had to reinvent himself. This journeyman is now activating his extraordinary content. He has a new book coming out, Classic Conversations: ‘90s Hip Hop and R&B featuring his intimate, one-of-a-kind moments and quotes with hip hop and R&B royalty. Each interview includes entertaining commentary that only Barry has the ability to provide. In addition, Barry recently returned to interviewing with a one-on-one sit down with Lady Gaga. And, he has new projects in the pipeline harnessing his treasure trove of celebrity content

We kicked off with some serious chocolate obsession, chatting about the glory of Cadbury milk bars and why Americans just can’t get the real deal. Then it was chaos on stage with Katy Steele taking a tumble in Perth and Miss Jamaica pulling a dramatic Miss Universe slip, while Miss Mexico strutted away with the crown. On the celeb front, we had Lewis Hamilton giving Beyoncé and Jay-Z a 200-mph thrill ride, Taylor Swift secretly filming a video in Croydon, and David Harbour possibly rekindling a romance in Canada. The internet delivered with sheep doing Backstreet Boys covers, while a private jet attendant spilled the insane rules of flying A-listers. And in between, we had Brendan, Kay, and Eddie sliding into the mailbag with Raining Diamonds, LEGO roses, and some very relatable drunken song choices.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textThe night starts as a catch-up and turns into a wake-up call: people at home are listening closely, waiting for the stream, and telling us this show feels like them. We thought we had a casual couch session; the city told us we have a community mic. So we set a new Tuesday schedule, talk through what consistency actually costs when the cameras cut off, and admit how much it means to hear friends and strangers say they're locked in.Life enters the room fast. One of us is hours from fatherhood, and that opens a real talk on boundaries: what to share, what to keep sacred, and how to keep jokes from trampling real relationships. We get honest about respect—the mother of your child, the woman with your last name, and the difference between private loyalty and public noise. “Don't ruin your chance to spin the block” becomes a mantra about not torching bridges you may want tomorrow.Then the culture debates fly. We square up on catalogs and concerts—Kanye's unbeatable run, Jay-Z's room advantage, Drake's dominance, Wayne's war chest—and dive into the live-matchup energy of Chris Brown versus Usher. That leads to a bigger question: did hookah and sections kill the dance floor? We break down how VIP economics reshaped nightlife, why spontaneity is rare, and where that old Atlanta energy still survives. Sports becomes therapy as we vent about the Falcons, demand accountability from leadership, and weigh what fans owe a franchise versus what a franchise owes its city.Between the heavy notes, we keep it human: barber loyalty as a sacred bond, skating wipeouts, black-and-mild detours, and a salute to slept-on comedians—Eddie Griffin's depth, Carlos Miller's precision, Lil Duval's longevity, Nav Green's timing. If you hear your high school, your favorite bar, your playlist, or your group chat in here, that's the point. Pull up, press play, and join the village. If this conversation hits, share it with a friend, subscribe, and leave a review so more folks in the city can find us.Support the show

From Rakim to Kendrick Lamar, this is the story of hip-hop's obsession with numbers. Dissect's Cole Cuchna breaks down the evolution of “number bars” - a lyrical tradition where rappers use math, numeric sequences, and wordplay to showcase technical skill and encode hidden meaning. Beginning with Rakim's groundbreaking verse on “My Melody” (1986) - a quatrain built around groups of seven that secretly mirrors his own 21-letter name - we trace how MCs have used numbers as both a mathematical signature and a symbolic device for decades. From Melle Mel's divine 7-count in “Superrappin” to Jay-Z's “22 Twos”, Biggie's “Ten Crack Commandments,” and Mos Def's “Mathematics,” numbers became an essential part of hip hop tradition and lyricism. By the 2000s, artists like Lupe Fiasco, J. Cole, JID, Vince Staples, and Kendrick Lamar transformed number schemes into complex storytelling tools. We unpack everything from Lupe's hidden 3–2–1 countdown on Kanye West's “Touch the Sky” to Kendrick's quantum-level equations on “Nosetalgia.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Today's guest has rewired modern hip-hop. His fingerprints live all over the last decade but the real story behind that success is far more human, painful, and transformative than the headlines ever show. In this conversation, he opens up about the highs and lows of being a producer in hip-hop: the pressure, the politics, the contracts, the moments that nearly broke him, and the breakthroughs that almost didn't happen. He also shares the lessons shaped by fatherhood, betrayal, and real perseverance — all while creating some of the most important and culture-defining music of our time. And The Writer Is... Hitboy!

Send us a textThis year, Billboard named Lil Baby's "My Turn" the No. 1 R&B/Hip-Hop Album of the 21st Century.  How? Why?When we have game-changing and record-setting classics from Kanye, Kendrick, Drake, Beyoncé, OutKast, The Weeknd and Jay-Z and other genre defing masterpieces, how in the world does "My Turn" sit on the throne?This isn't about if Billboard's decision is right or wrong, but rather, how did we get here?If "My Turn" really beat out every R&B and hip-hop album since 2000, then  either Billboard is onto something, or the way we crown greatness in this era has completely changed.Support the showhttps://www.youtube.com/@lifeonpodcast/videos

In Part 2 of our Fall 2025 Expo recap, the BoothMates crew goes deep into the pickups, stories, people, and pure hobby energy that made this show unforgettable. Jeremy, Sam, Jay Z, Daniel, and Josh continue the conversation from Part 1 — this time focusing on the cards that came home with them, the surprising deals that unfolded, and the post-Expo adrenaline that kept everyone buying even after the show closed. Jeremy kicks things off with the vintage pickup that haunted him from the moment he entered the show: a beautifully centered 1953 Parkhurst Maurice Richard PSA 1.5 with exceptional registration despite its light creasing. This leads into a long, thoughtful discussion about grade vs. eye appeal, registry chasing, and the real differences between buying numbers and buying cards. The crew shares stories of their own swaps, upgrades, and “upgrade by downgrade” moves — including a Gretzky deal that proves sometimes the lower grade is the better card. The episode then shifts into modern PC pickups, with Jeremy revealing a stack of SP Authentic Limited Autos, Ultimate patches, Emblems of Endorsement cards, Cup honorable numbers, and multiple Fleury, Crosby, Thornton, Nash, Francis, Ovechkin, Lemieux and Kucherov additions. Even after four full days at the booth, the guys laugh about making “post-Expo hotel room deals” because, as Sam says, the hobby doesn't stop when the show closes. There's also a powerful moment when a longtime Hobby Insider member Matt gifts Jeremy a funeral program from Dale Hawerchuk's memorial, a gesture that catches him off guard and nearly brings him to tears. The group talks about staying “in the hobby zone” after returning home, the upcoming Langley and Chicago Spectacular shows, and the joy of seeing collectors find cards they never expected — from a massive Steve Yzerman want list to Jason Allison binders to PC grails that made the trip worthwhile for collectors who flew across the continent. They wrap with Expo reflections: • the best show energy in years • corporate and community presence at an all-time high • the hobby family that forms around a shared booth • the Expo's continuing growth — more halls coming, more vendors, more momentum • and why the show feels less like a card show and more like a true annual event Part 2 closes with final highlights, gratitude, and plans for future Expos, the National, and beyond. BoothMates is all about the people first, cards second — and this episode is exactly why. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

His success in directing commercials has landed him a coveted place among Super Bowl commercials and work featured for many, many global brands including Apple, Sprite, NBA, Uber, Chase and Nissan. He was also named Director of the Year by Ad Age.We get to find out what it was like directing Kendrick Lamar's 'squabble up' music video, being a filmmaker and artist from South Central LA.Even the corners of this conversation are riveting.

Jeremy Lee and Sam Genova sit down with their Expo booth crew to decompress from what might have been the best Toronto Sport Card Expo they've ever had. From Tim Hortons in the morning to the late-night hangs, and the 35 hours of show floor action over 4 four straight days at a new booth location that turned into one of the busiest rows in the building. Joined by longtime hobby friends Jay Z, Daniel, and Josh Adams, the group talks about how this Expo felt different: packed aisles from open to close, real collectors buying for their PCs, and a hobby that looks very healthy north of the border. Jeremy shares that he did roughly 120 deals at the show, and the guys compare notes on how Sunday felt more like a second Saturday than a wind-down day. Sam also opens up about a tough situation at the booth: a high-end card sale that a buyer tried to reverse after the fact. The panel walks through what happened, the “all sales are final” norm vs. the human side of the hobby, and why Sam ultimately chose to take the high road and undo the deal. They wrap Part 1 by showing and describing some of their favorite pickups from the weekend — from McDavid, Crosby, Forsberg, and Lemieux to Hank Aaron, Phil Rizzuto, Babe Ruth, and some pristine 80s Oilers rookies — and why the booth felt more like a clubhouse than a table. This is Part 1 of 2 from the live BoothMates Expo recap. Part 2 drops tomorrow with the stories, pickups, and hobby talk from the Toronto floor. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of The Cardone Zone, Grant Cardone dives deep into the real definition of wealth — not just money or possessions, but abundance, freedom, and the ability to live without worry. True wealth is having more than enough of what you need and desire, while most people settle for survival instead of prosperity. Grant draws a clear line between being rich and being wealthy, exposing the limitations of the scarcity-driven mindset promoted by ideas like The Millionaire Next Door. Saving, cutting costs, and living small won't make you wealthy — they'll only make you afraid. You can't save your way to success; you must produce your way there. Most people live paycheck to paycheck because they focus on defense, not offense — trying to protect what little they have, instead of expanding what they could create. Using real-world examples from Bezos, Musk, Gates, and Jay-Z, Grant explains how the truly wealthy focus on creation, expansion, and contribution. They know that money is a tool for freedom and growth, not something to be hoarded. When you shift from controlling costs to creating value, you transform your life from one of worry to one of abundance. This is your wake-up call to stop measuring your life by cost and start measuring it by contribution, growth, and production. The moment you stop worrying and start creating, you step into real wealth. Catch The Cardone Zone on SiriusXM Business Radio or visit GrantCardone.com for more insights, tools, and resources.

In this episode of "Hip Hop What Ifs," we dive deep into the intriguing question: What if Big L had not been tragically killed in 1999? We explore his impact on hip-hop, his lyrical prowess, and the potential trajectory of his career had he lived. We reminisce about Big L's early days with Children of the Corn and his rise in the rap scene, highlighting his unique style and wordplay that set him apart from his contemporaries. Our discussion touches on his collaborations with notable artists like Jay-Z and Tupac, and we reflect on the significance of his album "Lifestyles of the Poor and Dangerous." As we navigate through the what-ifs, we consider how Big L's presence might have altered the landscape of hip-hop, particularly within the Rockefeller label, and whether he would have overshadowed other artists like Jay-Z and Beanie Sigel. We also discuss the evolution of his legacy posthumously, noting how his music gained traction after his death and how he became a revered figure in the genre. Throughout the episode, we engage in a lively debate about the dynamics of hip-hop beefs, the significance of lyricism, and the changing nature of the industry. We also touch on the current state of hip-hop, comparing the careers of artists like Jay-Z and Nas, and how their paths have diverged over the years. Join us as we reimagine the possibilities of Big L's career and the broader implications for hip-hop culture, all while celebrating the artistry and influence of one of the genre's most talented lyricists.
