Podcast appearances and mentions of Kendrick Lamar

Ryan Estes sits down with Don Lucoff, founder of DL Media and Artistic Director of the Denver Jazz Fest. Don has spent nearly four decades in jazz as a publicist, producer, and festival programmer, working with legendary artists and labels like Impulse and Blue Note. Now he is helping build a national caliber jazz festival right here in Denver. The State of Jazz Don reflects on how dramatically jazz media coverage has changed. There was a time when major outlets regularly reviewed jazz records and featured artists on national television. Today, most of that coverage has vanished. Yet jazz itself has not disappeared. It continues to shape modern music. Artists like Kendrick Lamar have collaborated with jazz musicians such as Kamasi Washington and Robert Glasper. The influence is everywhere. As Don puts it, jazz can sell everything but itself. It is deeply embedded in popular culture, even if it is no longer center stage in mainstream media. Why Denver Is a Jazz City Denver has a stronger jazz pedigree than many people realize. The Front Range is home to major jazz education programs at the University of Northern Colorado, University of Denver, University of Colorado Boulder, Metropolitan State University of Denver, and Colorado State University. These institutions consistently produce world class players. Historically, Five Points was known as the Harlem of the West, a vital stop for touring jazz musicians crossing the country. Add the Beat Generation passing through town and you have a city that has long been part of America's cultural and musical story. Inside Denver Jazz Fest The Denver Jazz Fest spans 15 venues across Denver and includes performances in Boulder County. It blends national headliners with respected local artists, creating a citywide celebration. This year's lineup includes Pat Metheny, Branford Marsalis, Bob James, and John Beasley. The festival also honors the centenary of Miles Davis and John Coltrane with special tribute performances, including a presentation of A Love Supreme by Denver saxophonist Keith Oxman. The goal is inclusivity and accessibility. Whether you are a lifelong jazz fan or just jazz curious, there is a show for you. Where to Start Listening For new listeners, Don recommends classics from the Blue Note catalog such as Lee Morgan's Search for the New Land, Herbie Hancock's Maiden Voyage, Wayne Shorter's Speak No Evil, and Grant Green's Idle Moments. From Impulse, he points to John Coltrane's Crescent and A Love Supreme, Alice Coltrane's Journey in Satchidananda, and Pharoah Sanders' Thembi. These records are not homework. They are entry points into a vast and vibrant tradition. Final Takeaway Don's career proves one thing. You may not get rich in jazz, but you can build a life around passion, community, and great music. Denver Jazz Fest is more than a series of concerts. It is a statement that this city values artistry, education, and cultural history. Learn more and get tickets at denverjazz.org. See you there.

On the 290th episode of the MalloryBrosPodcast, the Bros start with a realization that all of you who have been watching us for weeks, months and even YEARS have collected so much information on them and seen so many moments that you're basically FAMILY. So Welcome back FAM, of course the Bros start with Recap of the weekend. Terrance reflects on a big weekend of watching Boxing with Ryan Garcia and Claressa Sheilds leading to back to back fight nights. Terrell reflects on a trip to Mike's with the family and preparing for another snowfall on the east coast. Some of you are watching this under SNOW as you read this. Anyway, the Bros start things off recaping Baby Keem's newest project "Ca$ino" that dropped this past weekend. Coming off a Grammy Nominated "The Melodic Blue" the Bros speak on how he delievered a solid proeject that fell a little short of their expectations on first listen. The also talk about how the project has improved on second listen, but people online seem to be split on Kendrick Lamar's feature on the project. This sparks a big conversation about Kendrick's influence on the public reception to the album and Terrance starts a conversation on how these days you really can't have an opinon. In his words, "you're either like it or SHUT UP". The Bros have a good CONTROLLED back and fourth about this but ultimately agree .. these days, giving even your OPINION takes some heavy considersation before letting fly. Next the Bros talk about the recent viral situation at the BAFTA Awards where a man with Tourettes syndrome yells the N Word in the middle of the ceremoney as Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo present the first award of the night. It was a horrible situation for eveeryone involved and thanks to the broadcast not being edited or cut like it COULD HAVE ... this set social media on fire. The Bros have a great conversation about the situation, educating each other on the seriousness of Tourettes Syndrome and understanding the "Coprolalia" that comes with it while also focusing on the DISRESPECT that CAN'T be overlooked because of the disability. This is what made this situation one out of a movie. It's a good convo! The Bros talk about the crazy situation in Mexico with the death of a Cartel leader and the mayhem happening throughout because of it. Next, the Bros discuss the recent passing of Eric Dane, a beloved actor from Grey's Anatomy and Euphoria who died from a short battle with ALS. The guys discuss this haunting disease and the speed of it and turn the conversation into one about showing up and making moments count. NETFLIX has announced that we're getting Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Paquiao 2 in Septmember this year. This comes a week after Floyd announced he was fighting Mike Tyson in Exhibition, and UN-retiring to purse a big event. The Bros discuss the Sport of Boxing and how it's seemlingly honoring the money more than the sport. The biggest question is are they wrong if we all are tuning in and it's keeping boxing exciting? Lastly, the bros talk about the late passing of Rondale Moore, a 25 year old NFL Wide Reciever who took his life this past week. This is the most important part of the podcast episode. The bros talk about mental health and it's importance, but more importantly they discuss how they deal with their OWN mental health in moments current and past and share a strategy you can use with you friends and family that might REALLY help. Terrance says "The most toxic part is keeping it in" and he's right. Of course the Bros finish with MOVIE ...SUGGESTION... OF ... THE WEEK! Another week with the Bros, see you next Tuesday!

We're back with a packed episode — and we're not holding back.Ahmad kicks things off with a prank story involving his son that you did NOT see coming. From there, Vance and Ahmad dive deep into everything that had the culture talking: the Super Bowl Halftime Show, the Grammys, J. Cole's latest project, and the ongoing Kanye West situation.Bad Bunny didn't just perform — he brought an entire cultural moment to the biggest stage in American sports. We break down why his set was more than entertainment, what it means for hip-hop's global reach, and who we think should be next on that Halftime stage.Then we shift to the Grammys — are they finally getting it right? We discuss the tributes, the snubs, the recognition of legacy artists, and whether soul music is still getting the respect it deserves. Plus, Kendrick Lamar's stranglehold on hip-hop in 2025 and what that means for the culture going forward.And J. Cole dropped — so of course we had to get into it. Is the storytelling still elite? What does this album mean for his legacy? And is J. Cole approaching the end of an era?All that, plus current music recommendations and our thoughts on the rising British influence in hip-hop.

Denn auch auf Keems neuem Album legt sein «grosser» Cousin Kendrick Lamar wieder zwei Gastauftritte aufs Parkett. «Ca$ino» führt die – überraschend kurze – Liste der heutigen Neuerscheinungen an. Ebenfalls mit dabei: Altin Gün, Apparat, Jon Hood und Moby. Und in der zweiten Sendungshälfte schauen wir auf musikalische Highlights der Berlinale 2026. An der diesjährigen Ausgabe des grössten Filmfestivals Europas haben u. a. neue Filme mit Charli XCX («The Moment») oder über Jazzpianist Bill Evans («Everybody Digs Bill Evans») (Welt-)Premiere gefeiert.

Tell 'em Kendrick did it... We're back to talk about Compton's own Kendrick Lamar and his 2025 record GNX! After we explored Damn back on episode 72, James felt like this Pulitzer Prize winner deserved a better score from Connor. We're back (reincarnated) in the Year Of Redemption to break down his shortest record yet (but one of his most expansive). After decimating Drake in a years-long feud with the astounding Not Like Us, GNX is Kendrick's attempt to move his career forward with songs of the confrontational, the introspective, and the catchy. He wrote more than 80 songs for the project, but only a dozen made the cut. Will it be the perfect combo to redeem his score?James & Connor will debrief on our last Kendrick episode and get to the bottom of why we're back again. We relive the backwards concept album and catch up on our Kendrick listening habits. The Mixtaper is ready to Squabble Up with a new round of Fact Or Spin, featuring comfy socks, vault tracks, and a baffling reskin of a classic crunchy conundrum. From the vintage car on the cover to the final twist of Gloria, we'll touch every corner of this Album Of The Year nominee. Ain't no legends if his legends end, so find out why we think K Dot does (or doesn't) deserve the Greatest Of All Time!Is this album a step up or a step back after Damn and Mr. Morale?

On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are taking a closer look at the Billboard.com reader poll that went live last week asking who should headline next year's Super Bowl halftime show, Right now, BTS is leading by a landslide, with more than 85% of the vote. It would make sense for the newly reunited Korean superstars to cap their sure-to-be-active comeback year with potentially a big Grammys night -- like Kendrick Lamar and Bad Bunny have done the last two years -- followed by an epic performance on the Super Bowl stage. Of course, Taylor Swift is always in the Super Bowl conversation too, and we think Post Malone could be an overwhelmingly supported pick knowing how many genres he crosses.

Cole's long awaited album after an eight year tease, debating Disc 1 versus Disc 2, KOD versus Might Delete Later, and whether Cole's technical brilliance sometimes works against him.

From there, they dive into producer GOAT debates featuring Alchemist and DJ Premier, the evolving sound of the 2020s, and whether modern rap has become too polished.

Imagine a 6'2 lefty sniper who can shoot you out of a zone, drop 38 in a revenge game, and still tell you she doesn't need Hollywood — she just needs her people.That's Bella Ragone.Georgia High School Player of the Year. Top 25 in the Class of 2026. Five-star recruit. Notre Dame women's basketball signee. And in this episode of SportsLifeTalk – You Got Next (Savage Season), Bella opens up about her journey from NFL sidelines to Georgia hardwood greatness — and why loyalty and faith shaped her rise.Bella's life wasn't built in one zip code. With her dad coaching in the NFL, moving was normal. She's lived in Louisville, Tennessee, Virginia/D.C., Chicago, Georgia, and even around Los Angeles. But when her dad joined the Rams and relocated to L.A., Bella made a defining decision — she stayed in Georgia. Not for spotlight. For stability. As she said, “I just need my people.” That mindset reveals everything about her foundation.Her basketball story didn't start with hype. She played multiple sports growing up. But in middle school, it clicked. She realized she was good. She loved the grind. She wasn't burning out. That's when the game became serious.Bella calls herself a “three-way player.” Translation: true three-level scorer. She takes pride in her jump shot — deep range, quick release, and a deadly one-dribble pull-up. As a lefty, she naturally creates angles defenders struggle with. Over the past two years, she's extended her range and sharpened her off-the-bounce scoring. When teams tried zone? She smiled and said, “That wasn't a good idea.”Her defining moment came in the region tournament. Third matchup against a team that had already beaten them twice. Home floor. Pressure packed. Bella decided, “This has to be my game.” Final stat line — 38 points while her team scored 50 total. She carried them into the region championship and delivered one of the coldest performances of the season. That wasn't stat padding. That was ownership.Her commitment to Notre Dame women's basketball wasn't based on rankings. It was about fit, faith, academics, and relationships. A Catholic university aligned with her values. A culture built on family. Coaches who invested in her as a person. She's joining a special freshman class — and she knows it.The basketball DNA runs deep. Her mom played Division I at Louisville after moving from Estonia at 15 and learning a new language. Bella wears #5 in honor of her mom's jersey number. Her dad, also a lefty, trained her and sharpened her competitive edge. Add in a Division I quarterback brother, and you get a household built on competition and discipline.When NIL opportunities came up, Bella didn't overthink it. She said Lululemon. Authentic. Clean. Real. That kind of clarity matters in today's NIL era.Off the court, she keeps it grounded — spending time with friends, supporting other sports, traveling, and protecting her energy. Her favorite local food spot? Buffalo's. Order: Kickin' Chicken Wrap. Simple comfort.During SLT Initiation, her Top 5 artists included Drake, SZA, Zach Bryan, Morgan Wallen, and Kendrick Lamar. Favorite superhero? Black Widow — independent and powerful. Theme song? “Over” by Drake. The biggest lesson basketball taught her? Resilience — pushing through fatigue and pressure when it would be easier to fold.Right now, Bella's focus is healing, staying healthy, and preparing for her freshman season at Notre Dame. Long-term goals? Win a national championship. Earn individual accolades. Bring a title back to South Bend. Her words were clear: “We deserve it.”Bella Ragone didn't choose the spotlight. She chose stability. She didn't chase hype. She built foundation.She's not just next.She's built.

Send a textWelcome to the Pinto Podcast! I'm your host Chris, joined as always by my beautiful wife and co-host of the BoricuameRican podcast, Nancy. Last week was Super Bowl LX, but forget the game—the real MVP was Bad Bunny's electrifying halftime performance. Some are calling it an abomination, others the "Benito Bowl." A week later, people are still buzzing about it more than the Seahawks' win (shoutout to my team finally getting one after decades of Giants/Jets/Mets heartbreak!). In this episode, Nancy and I break it all down: What we expected going in (spoiler: I braced for a full-on protest anthem in a dress—none of that happened!) Why the actual show was pure entertainment: killer energy, incredible dancing, those iconic telephone poles nodding to Puerto Rico's real-life struggles, stunning camera work, La Marqueta vibes, barbershop sets, and a celebration of Boricua culture that made us crave pernil, lechón, and alcapurrias ASAP. The aftermath and the wild online debates: Why the "it should be in English" crowd missed the point (you don't need to sing along to enjoy opera, Kendrick Lamar, or The Weeknd—same here!), how "choose your battles" applies, and why this wasn't some big "F-you" to America but a proud showcase of Puerto Rico as part of it.We dive into the tribalism, the tribal yelling on TV, Bad Bunny out-streaming Taylor Swift right now, the NFL's push into Latin America for fans/merch/gambling revenue, and how this might be the most talked-about halftime show ever—eclipsing the game itself and putting Bad Bunny's name everywhere. Whether you're Team Benito Bowl or still recovering from the controversy, grab some Puerto Rican snacks and join us for laughs, real talk, and a fresh take on one of the biggest cultural moments of 2026. Subscribe for more candid couple convos on pop culture, sports, and everything in between. ¡Vamos!Thank you for listening!

Join Here: ⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠The latest Notorious Mass Effect segment covers two major Drake-related stories dominating headlines in early 2026.First, the viral leak of Drake's unreleased freestyle "Spicy Hot (150 Freestyle)"—surfacing snippets as early as October 2025 but exploding around Super Bowl LX (February 8, 2026) across TikTok, X, Instagram, YouTube, and Threads. DJ Akademiks amplified it by playing portions February 5–7, sparking debates on whether it overshadowed J. Cole's The Fall-Off release. Fans link the track to Drake's anticipated ninth studio album Iceman (expected 2026 via OVO Sound/Republic Records, following For All the Dogs in 2023), featuring boastful, confrontational bars with a repetitive chorus: “I'm talkin' spicy hot,” “F**k it, we spicing it up,” references to “Free Slime,” money on cases, and lines like “a .150 right in yo' face.” Themes include flexing, confidence, and subtle disses (potentially tied to past beefs like Kendrick Lamar). Reception is mixed—praised as a potential hit with cold, classic Drake energy, yet criticized as repetitive. No official confirmation from Drake or OVO; leaks continue fueling hype, memes, reaction videos, and speculation for Iceman.Second, Dave's Hot Chicken's recurring birthday promotion for Drake, their investor since 2021. On October 23, 2025 (eve of his 39th birthday), the chain offered free chicken sliders or tenders at all locations (11 a.m.–9 p.m. local time) via the app—download required, in-store only, one per customer, no delivery. CEO Bill Phelps highlighted celebrating their "most famous investor" amid the brand's growth to over 300 U.S./international spots (with 130+ more planned by 2025 end). Other celebrity backers include Maria Shriver, Michael Strahan, Samuel L. Jackson, and Usher. The Nashville-style hot chicken menu (sliders, tenders, sides like mac & cheese and kale slaw) ties into Drake's cultural influence, driving app downloads, social buzz, and in-store traffic.Analytic Dreamz breaks down how these moments— from leaked freestyles building Iceman anticipation to brand crossovers—reinforce Drake's enduring dominance in music, culture, and business.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Join Here: ⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠ The latest Notorious Mass Effect segment dives deep into Baby Keem's highly anticipated sophomore album announcement: Ca$ino, set for release on February 20, 2026, via pgLang, Eerie Times, and Columbia Records. At 25 years old, the Grammy-winning artist returns after a four-plus-year gap since his platinum-certified debut The Melodic Blue (2021), which peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the iconic "Family Ties" collaboration with cousin Kendrick Lamar.Ca$ino arrives as a focused 12-track project, announced via Instagram with striking cover art featuring a childhood photo of Keem overlaid with a parental advisory label. Limited-edition vinyl is now available for pre-order. Standout features include Kendrick Lamar on the previewed highlight "Good Flirts" (alongside Momo Boyd), plus Too $hort on "Sex Appeal" and Che Ecru on "Tubi." The full tracklist: No Security, Ca$ino, Birds & The Bees, Good Flirts ft. Kendrick Lamar & Momo Boyd, House Money, I Am Not A Lyricist, Sex Appeal ft. Too Short, Tubi ft. Che Ecru, Highway 95 Pt. 2, Circus Circus Freestyle, Dramatic Girl, No Blame.Accompanying the drop is the nearly 10-minute YouTube documentary Booman I, blending family interviews, home footage, studio sessions, and Kendrick Lamar's reflections on upbringing and generational challenges—offering intimate insight into Keem's creative process.This marks a strategic comeback following sparse releases like "The Hillbillies" (2023) with Kendrick and "Leavemealone" with Fred again.., plus a major touring hiatus since 2023. Supporting Ca$ino, Baby Keem launches The Ca$ino Tour on April 15, 2026, in Raleigh, NC, with nearly 40 dates across North America and Europe, including festival stops at Governors Ball (June 5, Queens, NY) and All Points East (late August, London, UK).Analytic Dreamz breaks down the announcement's significance: a compact, intentional body of work leveraging proven chemistry with Lamar to build massive anticipation. Tune in for full details, track-by-track context, and what this means for Keem's trajectory in hip-hop.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Join Here: ⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠The latest Notorious Mass Effect segment analyzes Bad Bunny's historic Apple Music Super Bowl LX halftime show on February 8, 2026, at Levi's Stadium, which drew an estimated ~135 million viewers—making it the most-watched Super Bowl halftime performance ever, surpassing Kendrick Lamar's 2025 record.The Puerto Rican superstar delivered a primarily Spanish-language set celebrating Latino culture, Puerto Rican pride, unity across the Americas, and subtle political commentary on inclusion, immigrant identity, Hurricane Maria's impact, and Puerto Rico's electrical crisis. Highlights included opening with "Tití Me Preguntó," rooftop "Yo Perreo Sola" with A-list Latino stars, "Monaco" with violins, "El Apagón" addressing infrastructure issues, "Café Con Ron" for hemispheric unity, and closing "DTMF" amid fireworks and a field dance party.Stage design transformed the field into sugar-cane fields, a Puerto Rican vecindad with barber shop, liquor store, and casita replica—featuring tributes like palm trees, piragua carts, an empty chair for 3,000+ Hurricane Maria victims, power line structures, and jersey No. 64 honoring his mother's birth year. Memorable moments: a real wedding on stage, Grammy gifting to child actor Lincoln Fox symbolizing self-belief, direct camera message "Never stop believing in yourself," and final football/flags promoting "Together, we are America."Celebrity guests: Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, Karol G, Cardi B, Pedro Pascal, Jessica Alba, Young Miko, Alix Earle, Ronald Acuña Jr., Dave Grutman.In contrast, Turning Point USA's "All-American" counter-show featuring Kid Rock peaked at ~6.1 million concurrent YouTube viewers (rising to 19.5 million by Monday), streamed exclusively due to licensing restrictions preventing X airing.Political reactions included President Trump's criticism calling it "absolutely terrible" for its Spanish lyrics and dancing. Experts praised it as a unifying, culturally inclusive statement elevating Latino representation.Bad Bunny earned union scale pay (~$1,000/day), with NFL covering production (380 "grass"-dressed performers recreating landscapes under field limits).Analytic Dreamz examines the performance's cultural significance, viewership dominance, symbolic elements, and broader implications for Latin music's mainstream breakthrough and political discourse in entertainment.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Zoning Out Podcast presented by The Comedy Zone is back — Jordan Centry, Jonathan Williams (@MrWilliamsComedy), and Jason Allen King kick it off with friendly fit-check chaos (including an Ozempic roast that gets out of hand), then dive into two wild weeks of “what is happening in the world?” energy: unexpected snow/ice stories, teen party memories, and a very questionable “files” conversation that turns into jokes about rich people being way too bold in emails. From there, the episode swerves into music + pop culture: Kendrick Lamar's Grammy run, the Drake discourse, Kanye's apology era (including where he chose to apologize), and a quick detour into Sydney Sweeney rumor territory that immediately proves why you should never trust the first headline you click. Then the boys introduce a new recurring segment: “60 Seconds of Non-Expertise” — rapid-fire, improvised “deep dives” on topics they absolutely should not be trusted to explain (Seahawks vs Patriots, Michelle Williams' film career, Kendrick + Tupac… and yes, someone says “gang community”). They wrap with upcoming shows and big announcements — including Jason opening for Anthony Jeselnik at Goodnights in Raleigh — plus Jordan's Valentine's Day Brunch comedy show, Comics React Live at The Comedy Zone, and a reminder to grab tickets for THREE COMEDY at the Cain Center in Cornelius on Tuesday, March 10.  TICKETS / SHOW INFO • THREE'S COMEDY — Cain Center for the Arts (Cornelius, NC) — Tuesday, March 10 • Jason Allen King opening for Anthony Jeselnik — Goodnights (Raleigh) — Feb 19–21 • Jordan Centry: Valentine's Day Brunch Show — Deluxe Fine Dining (Uptown Charlotte) — Feb 14 • Comics React Live (CRL) — The Comedy Zone — Feb 19  FOLLOW + SUBSCRIBE Subscribe for full episodes + clips, and follow us on IG for show updates.

This week we talk about the classic Ghibli film Princess Mononoke!

Send in your music story!A blizzard outside, a firestorm in music. We start with the easy stuff—laughs, life updates, and a nostalgia trip through 2000s anthems—then dive straight into the friction points shaping live music right now: dynamic ticket pricing, runaway fees, and why mid-level artists can't afford to tour while mega-acts sell out arenas. It's Grammys week, but the real story sits underneath the trophies.We unpack a headline-heavy slate: tours from Queens of the Stone Age and Zayn Malik, a tragic breaking loss in the community, and a ceremony that crowned Bad Bunny and Kendrick Lamar while Post Malone led a surging Ozzie tribute with Slash, Chad Smith, Duff McKagan, and Andrew Watt. On the red carpet, the tone trended surprisingly classic—Lady Gaga and Sabrina Carpenter kept it timeless—punctuated by a single shock piece that lit up the timeline. Performances got the microscope from us too: what landed, what missed, and how televised moments dovetail with marketing cycles like a Super Bowl halftime.Then we tackle the question that won't die: should artists speak on politics? Jelly Roll's refusal to weigh in sparked backlash, and we push back on the expectation that entertainers must campaign. Autonomy matters—for artists and for fans. We talk about separating art from the artist, when lines get crossed, and how to “vote” with your wallet without letting parasocial noise make your choices. It's a candid, sometimes uncomfortable, always honest conversation about taste, ethics, and the business machine behind the music we love.To end on a note that's ours, we host the HB Guest Grammys. Fan Favorite goes to TX2 for the interview that lit our early charts. Best Album shout goes to Keep Flying's Time and Tide, with love to Snacktime for pure fun. “Realest” guest turns into a heartfelt debate—Forest Day, Scott Blasey, and Ralph Sutton each get flowers—because the best part of this show is still the people behind the songs.If this hit your feed just right, follow, subscribe, and drop a review.

Cole delivers his most ambitious and introspective work yet with The Fall Off, his self-proclaimed final album released February 6, 2026. This double album spans 24 tracks across two discs—Disc 29 and Disc 39—each featuring 11 main songs plus a bonus. Presented by Analytic Dreamz on Notorious Mass Effect, this segment breaks down the project's profound narrative structure.Disc 29 captures J. Cole at age 29, returning to his Fayetteville hometown a decade after moving to New York, reflecting on pivotal crossroads in relationships, career dedication, and city roots. Disc 39 shifts to age 39, offering an older, more peaceful perspective on a similar homecoming, shaped by creative renewal following his 2024 resolution with Kendrick Lamar.Nearly eight years after teasing the concept in KOD's "1985," The Fall Off evolves into a full-circle moment from Cole's debut era. Executive produced by J. Cole, Ibrahim “IB” Hamad, T-Minus, and Dreamville, the album maintains minimal features for a self-driven feel, with standout contributions from Future on “Run a Train,” Tems and Erykah Badu on “Bunce Road Blues,” Burna Boy on “Only You,” Westside Gunn on “The Villest,” and others.The rollout emphasized intimacy and scarcity: announced in January 2026, preceded by the Birthday Blizzard '26 EP (four freestyles hosted by DJ Clue on Cole's 41st birthday), and distributed direct-to-consumer via his official website for stronger fan ownership and data control. Selective press included one major interview, while fan-led listening events in homes, record stores, bars, and spaces like Brooklyn Public Library's Bars & Books gathering amplified community engagement over traditional hype.Thematically, subtle nods to the 2024 lyrical tensions appear, notably in the alternate-history track “What If,” imagining reconciliation. Analytic Dreamz explores how this strategic, narrative-first approach reinforces J. Cole's authenticity, prioritizing depth, loyalty, and legacy over mass exposure in today's industry landscape.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Cole, Ibrahim “IB” Hamad, T-Minus, and Dreamville, the album maintains minimal features for a self-driven feel, with standout contributions from Future on “Run a Train,” Tems and Erykah Badu on “Bunce Road Blues,” Burna Boy on “Only You,” Westside Gunn on “The Villest,” and others.The rollout emphasized intimacy and scarcity: announced in January 2026, preceded by the Birthday Blizzard '26 EP (four freestyles hosted by DJ Clue on Cole's 41st birthday), and distributed direct-to-consumer via his official website for stronger fan ownership and data control. Selective press included one major interview, while fan-led listening events in homes, record stores, bars, and spaces like Brooklyn Public Library's Bars & Books gathering amplified community engagement over traditional hype.Thematically, subtle nods to the 2024 lyrical tensions appear, notably in the alternate-history track “What If,” imagining reconciliation. Analytic Dreamz explores how this strategic, narrative-first approach reinforces J. Cole's authenticity, prioritizing depth, loyalty, and legacy over mass exposure in today's industry landscape.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Apart from all the usual shenanigans, the gang chats about everything in pop culture with all the trimmings as they discuss a plethora of AI headlines including the man who predicted AI, the new AI agent only social media (Skynet here we come), Google dropping Project Genie, and the man arrested for collecting royalties of over $10M for AI music.

The Bros are back in person and the vibes are high. The Snow is melting but 2026 is heating up in a good and bad ways. The Bros first discuss their lengthy Weekend Recap trying to survive the ice and being fathers, spending time with family and tapping into new Music. The first conversation is about J Cole's new “Birthday Blizzard” freestyle he dropped last week and some of the controversial things that came from those records. Terrance and Terrell both share a favorite of the four, and discuss if somebody should respond to J Cole and the possibility of him sliding bars Kendrick's way. A good conversation but you know how they get with that sensitive topic. This is all before diving into their thoughts on the 2026 Grammy Awards. A MALLORY BROS PODCAST MUTHAFUCKIN TRADITION! They've been making predictions all year and the winners are finally chosen.

The 2026 Grammys saw major wins for artists like Bad Bunny, Kendrick Lamar and Lady Gaga, and also served up an impressive number of live performances. But beyond the spectacle and the awarding of Grammy statuettes, the night also highlighted the bridge between headlines about immigration policy and ICE and how music often defines our most challenging cultural moments.

Hip-hop often gets blamed for its controversial lyrics. What if there was a way to actually measure its impact on people's lives? Analyzing 40 years' worth of radio station data and lyrics from rappers like Tupac, Dr. Dre, Jay-Z and Kendrick Lamar, economist Roland Fryer puts one of culture's most notorious debates on trial — and the results are not what you might expect.Learn more about our flagship conference happening this April at attend.ted.com/podcast Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to another perfectly unhinged episode of The Rizzuto Show, a daily comedy show that refuses to respect boundaries — fashion, emotional, or otherwise. Today's chaos menu includes one of the most baffling documentaries ever made: the Corey Feldman saga. For the low, low price of $5, you'll witness ego, trauma, cult vibes, and career delusion all mashed together into something that feels less like a documentary and more like a dare. Is Corey Feldman a villain? A victim? A confused gold-fedora wizard? We debate all of it while somehow landing on both “I feel bad for him” and “absolutely not.”Then things get visual. The Grammys deliver history, heartbreak, and nipples doing Olympic-level heavy lifting. Kendrick Lamar breaks records, Bruno Mars continues his streak of never missing, and Justin Bieber announces he's doing better by… performing in his underwear with a mirror. Totally normal behavior. We also break down the fashion choices that made our own bodies hurt just by looking at them.And because the universe has a sense of humor, a professional boxing match ends with a man's toupee being uppercut into history. Instead of spiraling, he leans into it like a champ — proving once again that confidence is everything, especially when your hair betrays you in front of millions.We also take a moment to honor the loss of Catherine O'Hara, celebrate music milestones, question celebrity fashion sanity, and somehow still find time for birthdays, porn star math, and deeply unnecessary commentary. This daily comedy show is messy, loud, sarcastic, and exactly what your brain needs.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshowConnect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MOSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Before Kendrick Lamar became one of the greatest lyricists of his generation, he was K.Dot—a kid from Compton with a front-row seat to trauma, loyalty, violence, and survival. This is the story of good kid, m.A.A.d city and the real-life events that fueled it. It's about a drive-by shooting that changed Kendrick forever. About a murder. About a robbery. About friends who vanished and others who couldn't be saved. It's about escaping the cycle without forgetting where you came from. And above all, it's about mercy—in a world that rarely offers any.

On this episode of Switched on Pop, Charlie, Nate, and Reanna take a look at the "big four" categories, and stump for their respective frontrunners in order to predict who will be taking home a golden phonograph (or two).
