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 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?

On today's episode I speak about one of my episodes getting banned and opening a hornets nest leaving my show under review. Basically this decision could lead to the end of the show being on Spotify and other DSP's. All because of what i am being flagged for which they're doing as well. From there i bring you into my work life where I discuss the power changes going on there, from old to new CEO's. I also speak on today being halloween and embarrassing my mother dress up as a cow and seeing an ex struggling on Tiki's Tok.(00:00 - 27:32)On the movie review section we talk about film movies and other things and give the worse takes. This week i speak about “ THE EDGE OF TOMORROW” this film from 2014 was pretty good. This movie stars Tom Cruise and Emily pass the Blunt in a remake of groundhog day but with aliens. This film was good for its time and it didn't need a fully loaded cast to make it good, a lot of the memorable actors were B listers. But though out this alien invasion with a way more advance species we find ourselves in the short end of the stick until Major Cage gets infected by alien blood and changes the war to give us a fighting chance. Because that's the way they wrote the movie, go check it out.(27:33 - 37:15)I then jump into The Cool Report where we discuss China putting regulations on influencers, telling them they have to be certified to talk on certain subjects, like health, education, and finances. I don't mind this yet, until we see if they try to push beyond the boundaries of censorship. From there we get into a meteorite that seems to contain human dan, but it is 2 million years old. If this gets answered any further, it will lead to the questioning of everything we know, and it will catastrophic. Then we get into our economy coming to the brink of collapse… jl jk jk the snap program will not be replenished during government shut down and Big T is getting harsh criticism. He seems to be back peddling but let see how it goes from there. Also during this, I can't tell what what's real or what's not when it comes to the internet on this subject, because AI is not a problem on all platforms.(37:16 - 58:51)We then step into a segment where the listeners ask me 3 questions about myself or just randomness. A character wants to know who do we think Jay Z is, and do we really think no one can see him in a verzus and the answer is no, its a strong no for me dawg. Another character wants to know how i feel about the new robots, and how closely we're going to be disconnected from each other. From there another creep wants to know about my seggs life even more, and i indulge but switch it up as well, this is a family friendly show. (58:52 - 01:19:04)Then we have 2 fans ask us a questions for PTL where we get asked the tough questions where we place ourselves in their shoes. A lover wants to know what to dress up for halloween, the couple can't come to an agreement if they want a funny look or a sexy look. I guess these are the relationship issues of this day. Another lover wants to know if they should crash their partners company party, and to me this is the reason why we can't bring our partners to the event anymore, people don't know how to act anymore, and ruin it for the rest of us. (01:19:05 - 01:31:00)THE FINThanks to everyone that shows us love and wish y'all the best on the journey called life.

“Even though we were signed to a major record label distributed all around the country and around the world, we still moved as independent artists” ~ Bun B In this powerful new episode of Skipping Class, Lalaa Shepard of The Progress Report Media Group sits down with Southern hip-hop icons Bun B and Cory Mo — two Texas legends who've built one of the most respected legacies in rap culture. Born and raised in Port Arthur, Texas, Bun B came up alongside the late, great Pimp C as one half of the legendary group UGK (Underground Kingz). Known for their authenticity, storytelling, and southern pride, UGK became a foundation for generations of artists. After Pimp C's passing, Bun continued to honor that legacy through solo projects, teaching, activism, and entrepreneurship — most notably with his nationally celebrated Trill Burgers brand. Cory Mo, a Houston native and longtime UGK affiliate, came up producing for Pimp C and other Southern heavyweights before relocating to Atlanta to continue building his career. From behind the boards to the mic, Cory Mo has worked with some of the biggest names in hip-hop — from Big K.R.I.T. and Killer Mike to 8Ball & MJG — while keeping the Trill sound alive. Together, the two break down the process behind their 2025 joint album “Mo Trill” — a project that bridges eras with features from Scotty ATL, Akeem Ali, LaRussell, Monaleo, and more. They open up about staying independent, navigating the music business, and why Southern culture continues to define hip-hop. Bun B also shares exclusive stories about being one of the few artists to record with both Beyoncé and Jay-Z, creating “Give Me That” with Webbie, recording the same day in Atlanta with Jeezy and Gucci Mane, and how the success of Trill Burgers reflects decades of consistency, patience, and progress.

We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2020 conversation with Stax legend David Porter.ABOUT DAVID PORTER Named one of Rolling Stone magazine's “100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time,” Porter is best known for his songwriting partnership with Isaac Hayes that helped define the sound of Memphis's legendary Stax Records. As the first African American staff songwriter at Stax, Porter, along with his partner, wrote and produced songs such as “B-A-B-Y” for Carla Thomas, “Your Good Thing (Is About to End)”—an R&B hit for Mable John that later became a pop and R&B smash for Lou Rawls, and his own recording of “Can't See You When I Want To.” Hayes and Porter are best known, however, for their work with Sam & Dave, including such classic hits as “You Don't Know Like I Know,” “You Got Me Hummin',” “Hold On! I'm Comin'” (which later became a country hit for Waylon Jennings and Jerry Reed), “Soul Man” (which became a hit a second time thanks to the Blues Brothers), “I Thank You” (which was later covered by ZZ Top), and “When Something is Wrong with My Baby” (which was reimagined as a memorable duet between Otis Redding and Carla Thomas, a country hit for Sonny James, and an adult contemporary hit for Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville). The list of artists who've covered Porter's songs includes Aretha Franklin, Bruce Springsteen, William Bell, Melissa Ethridge, Bonnie Raitt, Garth Brooks, Etta James, Celine Dion, Wilson Pickett, George Benson, Dusty Springfield, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Staple Singers, Solomon Burke, James Brown, Eric Clapton, B. B. King, Tina Turner, Jackie Wilson, and more. His songs have been used as samples in countless recordings by artists such as Jay-Z, Eminem, Wu-Tang Clan, The Notorious B.I.G., Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey, and others. A highly celebrated giant among celebrated songwriters, Porter was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2005. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
