Analytic Dreamz examines Ebro Darden's claims that his progressive, anti-government commentary clashed with station ownership's efforts to secure casino licensing funding. The drama intensified when Drake posted an axe emoji mocking the show's end, prompting Ebro to label him "right-wing" and sparking responses from Peter Rosenberg and Laura Stylez. On the debut of their new independent YouTube show, The Ebro Laura Rosenberg Show—with over 43,000 views on the first episode—Ebro revealed alleged late-night DMs from Drake reading "Die slower" and "We got some sh*t for u," perceived as threats tied to past tensions from the Kendrick Lamar battle.

Ep 134In this episode of The Stem Society, Cole Jackson breaks down two conversations that are really about the same thing: legacy in hip-hop.Cole reacts to The Game claiming he's the best rapper on the West Coast, and why Kendrick Lamar's name immediately entered the conversation.

In this special episode of Perspektives With Bank, Big Bank sits down with 21 Savage just ahead of his new album release for an unfiltered conversation about the evolution of street culture and the shifting dynamics of hustling in the digital age. They explore how the streets have changed over time, the decline of traditional street credibility, and the impact of the internet on authenticity, relationships, and public perception. 21 Savage reflects on conflict resolution, the randomness of street life, and the pressure artists face while navigating fame and survival. The discussion digs into the complexities of snitching, the role of ego in the rap industry, and how today’s culture views loyalty and betrayal differently than past generations. Big Bank and 21 also examine the need for a new code of conduct in both the streets and the music industry—one focused more on discipline and hustling than on violence. The episode covers the evolution of hip hop, the cultural protection around certain artists, and the competitive dynamic between heavyweights like Drake and Kendrick Lamar. 21 Savage opens up about his journey, his regrets, his dreams, and the importance of talent over image in shaping long-term success. The conversation is a raw, introspective look at survival, growth, and the responsibility artists carry as leaders of the culture. Tune in and join the conversation in the socials below.

MUSICApple Music released its year-end data, and 2025 was good to Kendrick Lamar. He and SZA had the top song of the year in the U.S., with "Luther". Morgan Wallen had a good year, too. We discuss the the Top 10:On the Global chart, the #1 song was "APT." by ROSE and Bruno Mars. "Luther" came in second. Even though Kendrick had a great year, he did NOT accomplish his main goal, which was to END DRAKE. He was Apple's most-streamed artist GLOBALLY in 2025. Willie Nelson is tired of the internet trying to kill him off . . . and he finally said so in the most Willie way possible. https://www.whiskeyriff.com/2025/12/01/willie-nelson-sounds-off-on-the-endless-amount-of-ai-slop-about-him-if-you-believe-those-death-stories-one-more-time/ Think you can dodge Wham! this holiday season? Think again. Whamageddon is the ultimate holiday survival game. The challenge? Make it till Christmas Eve without hearing Wham!'s “Last Christmas.” Sounds easy, right? Nope. This song is everywhere, from here on the radio to shops to the dentist's office. The rules are simple: if you hear the original 1984 version of the song, you're out and have to post your fail to #Whamageddon. But covers and remixes? Totally safe. The song is hard to escape … So, be careful out there. And good luck! https://www.aol.com/articles/think-beat-whamageddon-dodge-one-205519330.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9zdGF0aWNzLnRlYW1zLmNkbi5vZmZpY2UubmV0Lw&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAE4LKFNU0obfYftLM3HS0I3IXT_4AMPdBHCN-dMHo1M-dws6Qq0VHTcF4fc2qyJdxXb02DCE_XrcWpU8FOGBgHrgBwDq-gfmY3loC0GtJOf9JCAIbMJrXuLpwLMz2lUYMDjtFC5REf3ACTxe5qsAYFGl2jfiv__btgFG-1mFXoNi TVThe Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting: The famous tree will be lit tonight during Christmas in Rockefeller Center, a two-hour special airing live from New York City on NBC and simulcast on Peacock.

This week we're kicking things off with the latest chaos in the news: Costco is suing the Trump administration over tariffs, and why your relatives may be adjusting their spending limits this holiday season. Then we dive into the year-defining weirdness of 2025, starting with the rise of “6-7,” the phrase so big it reached Andrew's young nephews and somehow became Dictionary.com's Word of the Year (wtf). We look at whether millennials ever had any comparable internet-inspired brain rot, then broaden out to the phrases, moments, and cultural oddities that shaped 2025. We're crashing out over all the new slang that we don't understand, but we're "letting them" enjoy this 6-7 trend. Shoutout to the viral moments that made 2025, like cheaters being exposed at a Coldplay concert, America losing TikTok for half a day, and Kendrick Lamar obliterating Drake at the Super Bowl. We also revisit the Epstein Files, our favorite cities that trolled ICE this year, Dick Cheney's non-mourned death, tariffs on literal penguins, and the recent Louvre robbery fiasco. 2025 may have felt like it was 300 years long, but all this and more was jam-packed into just 365 days. Pam mentioned listening back to our episode on Jimmy Kimmel and the FCC - here it is (Episode 11x35)! This week's recommendations: 'Heated Rivalry'  on HBO Max (Andrew), the Consumer Class Action Lawsuit Database (Laura), and exploring privately owned public spaces (POPS) in your city (Pam).

Canadian singer-songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk is known for her distinct voice and gift for writing songs rooted in honesty and vulnerability. It's a talent that's earned her a Grammy and multiple Junos. But you might not know that beyond her career as a successful solo artist, Chantal has also penned songs for some of the biggest artists working today, including Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Gwen Stefani and Kelly Clarkson. Now, she's reimagining those songs on her new cover album, “In My Own Voice.” Chantal joins Tom Power at the piano in our studio to talk about the hits that made her a star in Canada, and why she wanted to reclaim some of the songs she's written for others.

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.

Q is back, and the guys break down their perfect pod day from the moment they wake up to the moment the mics go off, revealing routines, dream guests, and the kind of chaos they'd allow in the studio. They map out their ideal recording setups (2:51), and debate live audiences, surprise athlete pull-ups, Kendrick Lamar drop-ins, and whether baddies or bagels make for better ambiance (9:46). The conversation shifts into how each of them consumes music—relatability vs. believability vs. pure enjoyment (15:33)—before they go album-by-album through Pitchfork's "Top 25 Rap Albums" list and rebuild it from scratch (24:18). From Yeezus being thrown off the board to the absence of Pac, DMX, Nicki, and Wayne (33:13), they examine generational bias, regional representation, and why MF DOOM has a cult following (35:28). The episode closes with a deep dive on Kendrick's rise, whether "the machine" helped him, and what separates his career arc from his peers (54:52).

Episode Summary Welcome back to Grifty Pod. If you are listening to this episode without a helmet or a seatbelt, you are far braver than we are. This week felt like the entire nation had a stroke while standing upright. The Epstein documents dropped and inside that cursed file dump we discovered the soul bending phrase Trump and Bubba which was not on any of our bingo cards. Marjorie Taylor Greene tried to pick a political fistfight with Trump and it looked like two malfunctioning Roombas colliding in a hallway. Every headline seemed to be written by a bored demon trapped in a newsroom. So today we are taking you on a tour of American unreality. First we slide back into the nineties to revisit the DARE program which gave entire generations a deeply misplaced sense of safety. Then we blast forward to the current moment where right wing influencers are turning on their own in something called transvestigation which is exactly as deranged as it sounds. The circus is in town. Let us begin. What You'll Learn in This Episode The DARE Program and the Comforting Lie That Posters Fix Everything Charlie and Erika Kirk and the Digital Fever Dream of Transvestigations Is it A Grift? Real News or Fake Grift Fever Dream? The DARE Program and the Comforting Lie That Posters Fix Everything What DARE Was Selling The DARE program arrived in Los Angeles in 1983 and quickly metastasized into a national tradition. A smiling uniformed officer would walk into an elementary school classroom and deliver a series of highly scripted moral lectures about resisting drugs, alcohol and peer pressure. Children signed pledges. Children received neon yellow T shirts that glowed like irradiated dandelions. Children were assured that they were now fortified against the evils of the world. By the mid nineties DARE had infected more than seventy percent of school districts across the United States. It was not a curriculum so much as a branding operation. Parents adored it. Politicians bragged about it. The police treated it like a goodwill tour. The problem is that the entire thing did not work. Multiple meta analyses found that DARE had either no measurable effect on future drug use or effects so small they barely registered. A few studies found that students who completed DARE even experimented more possibly because children are curious, confused and easily entertained by forbidden concepts. The program was built on slogans rather than science. It substituted good intentions for meaningful intervention. It made addiction look like a moral failure instead of the complex social crisis it is. DARE was America in miniature. A shiny T-shirt pretending to be a solution. Why This Matters Today DARE is a perfect case study in institutional showmanship. It demonstrates our national desire for easy answers. It teaches us that if something feels helpful enough people will stop asking whether it is actually helpful. This is how grifts survive. This is how nostalgic myth becomes public memory. ⸻ Charlie and Erika Kirk and the Digital Fever Dream of Transvestigations What Transvestigation Actually Is Transvestigation is a conspiracy subculture devoted to claiming that public figures are secretly transgender. The reasoning is not medical, psychological or scientific. It is forensic fan fiction. These groups analyze photos of celebrities and politicians and apply invented rules about jaw shape collarbone angle shoulder width rib cage length wrist thickness and something they ominously call skull markers. There is no science behind it. There is no method behind it. There is only paranoia amplified by people who believe they are citizen detectives protecting the world from a conspiracy that does not exist. For years this fringe movement targeted women on the left. Michelle Obama was their white whale. They also went after celebrities like Taylor Swift, Meghan Markle, Serena Williams and Adele. Any woman with a strong jawline or athletic build was declared part of a secret gender agenda. The harassment has been relentless. But now the movement has turned inward. They have run out of enemies and begun pointing their microscopes at their own heroes. What They Are Saying About Erika Kirk According to the THEM article and recent digital surveillance here are the claims: They say her jawline fits what they insist is a male coded shape. They circulate side by side photos comparing her face to older images of male celebrities and trans women in transition even though none of the comparisons are coherent. They insist her collarbones sit too high and too straight. They point to photos where her shoulders look square in certain angles and treat this as biological evidence. They claim her wrists appear too thick in one photo where she is holding a water bottle. They argue that the way her thumb rests on a plastic bottle is masculine. This is considered a smoking gun in transvestigation circles. They point to her rib cage and claim it is too long for a woman which is a concept that has no scientific foundation but is treated as gospel by these content creators. Some go further. They say Erika Kirk is part of a hidden elite trans infiltration network. They call it the trans deception agenda. They never define it. They just insist it exists. What They Are Saying About Charlie Kirk The conspiracists accuse Charlie of similar fabricated markers. They say his shoulder to hip ratio aligns with what they consider feminized skeletal patterns. They claim his skull structure shows traits they have decided indicate a trans woman who transitioned early in life. They circulate old photos of him and create imaginary transition timelines like they are solving a case on CSI That Makes No Sense. They say his face changed shape over time and they treat normal aging as a covert biological anomaly. Why They Are Doing This The THEM article explains that this is what happens when you cultivate distrust as a political currency. The right wing has spent years fueling suspicion of trans people. They turned gender into a battlefield where everything is a clue and everyone is a suspect. Now the machine they built has turned back toward them. This is not about Charlie or Erika. This is about a conspiracy algorithm that can never be satisfied. When you reward content creators for uncovering hidden enemies eventually they will manufacture enemies from your own supporters. The Broader Crisis Transvestigation is not just ridiculous. It is dangerous. It treats gender identity like scandal material. It promotes body shaming disguised as detective work. It turns the public into unpaid inquisitors. And now the movement is eating itself alive. This is the logical endpoint of conspiracy thinking. When truth stops mattering the accusation becomes a spectacle. ⸻ GRIFTY GAME - Real News or Fake Grift Fever Dream? Three stories. One true. The other two were born from the national imagination which is not exactly a safe place to be. ⸻ That concludes our weekly descent into the archives of American absurdity. We covered nostalgia that never worked and conspiracy thinking that never will. The past is clownish. The present is unhinged. The future is unclear. Thank you for staying with us through the fog. Kendrick Lamar take us out.

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.

How well do you know Ryan Coogler? A couple of years ago, the Oakland-born filmmaker began “to reckon with the fact that the audience doesn't truly know me at all.” Which might sound strange at first. At that point in his career, the writer-director was all but a household name. His 2013 debut Fruitvale Station had earned him the keys to the Rocky franchise, resulting in 2015's acclaimed Creed. His next step was to helm a superhero movie that transcended the genre. That film, 2018's Black Panther, wasn't just another Marvel movie. It was a bold, operatic, Kendrick Lamar-soundtracked moment in the culture, that surpassed a billion dollars at the box office. In 2022, a sequel followed, grossing just shy of that mark and capping a remarkable decade: Coogler, critics raved, was a filmmaker who'd grown into the spectacle of blockbuster cinema as a Hollywood craftsman, without outgrowing or leaving behind the powerful character-based emotion and complexity that he delivered with Fruitvale Station.And yet still, the 39-year-old found himself concerned that for all that visibility, he perhaps hadn't yet made a film that was wholly his– his personality, his history, his family lineage, imprinted in the page, pressed into celluloid. Those films were his takes on existing IP – or in the case of Fruitvale, a true story. And so, he got to work on something new. A film inspired in part by his uncle James, who loved blues music and told stories of a different America. A film that had plenty to sink your teeth in for genre cinema enthusiasts – but simultaneously dove into questions he was grappling with, in the wake of considerable loss. Ryan's Uncle James died during post-production on Creed. Other family members had passed away too. And then of course there's Chadwick Boseman, the star of Ryan's Black Panther smash hit, who died following a battle with cancer in 2020, hitting the writer-director hard. Today on Script Apart, Ryan and I break down how those losses manifested in Sinners – one of the most critically acclaimed films of 2025. He tells me about the conversations with his Uncle James and his Grandmother that helped inform this vampire period piece, starring Michael B. Jordan as Smoke and Stack – twin brothers with a dream of opening a juke joint for their community. We also get into the meaning of Sinners' dance sequence, in which Sammy – played by Miles Caton – summons the ghosts of Black musicians past and future. And we talk about why this is a story about the joy of community when you look past the blood shed – the defiant glee of deciding to build something of your own, in a world that lets you own so little.

Join Here: ⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠Analytic Dreamz breaks down the explosive Drake x Playboi Carti unreleased collab “Slide In” in this must-hear Notorious Mass Effect segment. First previewed by Adin Ross on November 10–11, 2025, the viral snippet instantly took over X, YouTube, and hip-hop timelines. Recorded back in the For All The Dogs (2023) era and nearly cut from both that album and Carti's long-delayed I AM MUSIC, “Slide In” flips Luther Vandross' classic “A House Is Not a Home” sample into moody trap-R&B with Swamp Izzo tags intact. Drake delivers toxic-relationship flexes on the melodic chorus while Carti unleashes chaotic opium energy, ad-libs, and aggressive bars in the second half. Fans are calling it an instant banger and potential song of 2026. Analytic Dreamz analyzes the tense Drake-Carti history post-2024 beef, Kendrick Lamar's influence, removed ad-libs on “No Face,” and whether this vaulted gem will finally drop on Drake's rumored ICEMAN album or stay a legendary leak.
