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!

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

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.

The Jungle closes out Season 5 with a raw, reflective, and unapologetically real conversation that brings everything full circle. After months of unpredictable guests, controversial takes, and the kind of honesty you can't fake, the squad sits down for one last hunt before the season wraps — and nothing is off limits.The icebreaker sets the tone: a full Season 5 recap where each host names their favorite and least favorite guests, the episodes that left a mark, and the personal lessons learned behind the mic. It's a rare look inside the minds of the hosts themselves — what they've built, what they've battled, and what's coming next for Season 6.From there, the Jungle moves through the rhythm of reflection and the pulse of music. Kodak Black's “Just Getting Started” feels fitting — a declaration that even at the end of a season, the movement is only beginning. Offset's “Haunted by Fame” hits with the weight of success and the shadow that follows it, while Big L's “Harlem's Finest: Return of the King” reminds us what legacy really sounds like. Stunna Gambino's “Overly Goin” rounds it out — hunger, focus, and defiance.In the relationship den, the hosts dive into the kind of questions that spark uncomfortable laughter and real conversation. Is it a problem if your girl uses a vibrator in bed? Why is it that people can sleep with strangers raw but freeze up when it's time to get emotionally vulnerable? And are one-night stands just harmless fun, or do they leave long-term marks most people don't talk about?Then the Jungle zooms out to the headlines shaking up the culture. Jake Paul cancels his PPV fight with Gervonta Davis, Blueface is finally out of jail, and the internet is in full debate mode over who Jay-Z could actually lose to in a Verzuz.

The best marketers know how to read the room, and few people on earth do it better than an elite auctioneer. Brand Slam Episode 46 takes listeners inside the high-stakes world of auctions to uncover how energy, emotion and crowd psychology can drive marketing outcomes that spreadsheets can't. In this episode, hosts Steve Rosa and Joe Kayata sit down with Jacqueline Towers-Perkins, a London native turned New Yorker with nearly 15 years of experience commanding auction floors around the globe. She's led sales at prestigious houses like Sotheby's and Bonhams, hosted events for everyone from the King of England to Jay-Z, and helped move hundreds of millions in art, luxury goods and rare collectibles. Known for her fast-paced delivery, sharp instincts and commanding stage presence, Jacqueline brings a rare mix of theater and business acumen to every auction she directs. Now, as Founder and CEO of Towers & Co., Jacqueline is redefining what it means to “read the room.” Her global auctioneer agency and fundraising consultancy blends stagecraft and psychology—the same mix that turns a quiet crowd into a bidding frenzy.   Throughout the conversation, Jacqueline shares powerful parallels between auctioneering and marketing — both demand authenticity, timing and the ability to stir emotion at just the right moment. She reveals how professional auctioneers elevate fundraising events beyond transactions, transforming them into unforgettable experiences that build momentum and inspire generosity. The hosts explore how the spectacle of auctioneering mirrors the craft of brand storytelling — where emotion fuels engagement and exclusivity drives value. Jacqueline also breaks down the psychology of bidding wars, showing how urgency and competition can be engineered to influence consumer behavior. For CMOs, this episode is a reminder that your best-performing campaigns aren't just well-targeted — they're well-timed, emotionally resonant and charged with purpose. Whether you're building a global brand or leading a local charity gala, Episode 46 is your masterclass in energy, emotion and the art of engagement. Have an idea for a guest?
