Speaks Volumes is back for Season 3, and we're kicking things off with someone who went from mopping floors at Chicago Mastering Service to owning the place.Greg Obis interned at Electrical Audio, talked his way into CMS in 2012 by offering to vacuum and grab groceries for Bob Weston and Jason Ward, and spent a decade working his way up from quality control to full-time mastering engineer. Then in 2024, Bob announced he was moving to Portugal, and Greg made him an offer.Mat Leffler-Schulman and Dan Coutant talk with Greg about the surreal jump from employee to owner, the lost art (and real fear) of cutting lacquers, why he asks clients to remove peak limiting, the loudness "come to Jesus" talk, reference mixes from The Replacements to Converge, and balancing life as a business owner with his band Stuck.Greg's latest record with Stuck, Optimizer, is out now on Exploding In Sound Records.Music in this episode: "Sicko" by Stuck, from Optimizer.About Our GuestGreg Obis is a mastering engineer and the owner of Chicago Mastering Service, where he has worked since 2012. He has mastered records for artists on labels including Sub Pop, Matador, ANTI-, Numero Group, Sacred Bones, and International Anthem. He also co-founded Born Yesterday Records and plays guitar and sings in the band Stuck.Topics We CoveredFrom intern to owner. Greg's path from Bennington College and an Electrical Audio internship to offering Bob Weston studio chores in exchange for a foot in the door, then a decade climbing from QC and archiving to a full mastering workloadBuying CMS. How Bob's move to Portugal turned into a handover instead of a shipping container, why building a new room from scratch priced itself out of the running, and the "child emperor" phase of suddenly running the showWearing every hat. Taking over project management, invoicing, and scheduling while keeping his own clients happy, and how coming up through quality control made him a better communicatorRevisions and being the fall guy. Why the mastering engineer, like a monitor engineer, is the last one in the chain and the first to catch blame, and why recall requests are the most valuable education in the businessReference mixes. Greg's listening playlist: "Bastards of Young" by The Replacements, Yes, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Kendrick Lamar, and Converge for when he needs something absurdly loud. Plus the legend of a Daft Punk record allegedly mastered twiceLacquer cutting. Learning on Bob's Neumann VMS 70, the fear of a blown cutter head, how cutting changed his digital work, and the great lathe-versus-house-down-payment debate now that the VMS 70 lives in PortugalPeak limiting and loudness. Greg's "limiter on or limiter off" philosophy, asking clients for unlimited mixes, 32-bit float delivery, and talking a client back from the loudness ledge with help from Tone Projects Uni-LWhen to say no. Mostly when it's a mix problem mastering can't solve. Otherwise: offer the professional opinion, then respect that it's their recordLife outside the racks. Stuck's new album Optimizer, touring while running a business, cooking, weightlifting as a third space, and Greg's dream of a gloriously unlistenable side project made purely for the joy of itLinksChicago Mastering Service: https://chicagomasteringservice.comGreg Obis: https://www.gregobis.comGreg's Substack, Live.

Season six is underway with an all-new episode after our long layoff. Nick holds things down to give his thoughts on Jay Z's three-night residency at Yankee Stadium. He'll break down what happened on all three nights, the controversy surrounding night three, and ask why some people should and shouldn't have been a part of the festivities that weekend.

Nick provides his solution on who is the better lyrical MC and proposes a way to settle the score between the two. After that, what do Drake's Iceman, J .Cole's podcast run and album rollout, the BET Awards and The Roots Picnic have in common? Well, they were all events that took place while we were gone.

Send us Fan MailWould you flip draft picks for Bronny James if it guaranteed you also landed LeBron James? We start there and immediately run into the real questions NBA fans argue about every day: what's the actual price of a superstar, how does roster fit change everything, and is LeBron better treated like a power forward at this point in his career. We also talk about what that move could mean for Bronny's minutes, development, and whether riding with your dad feels like a dream situation or a retirement tour you'd rather skip.Then the conversation jumps from basketball into the loud world of sports media and celebrity narratives. We get into the constant churn of NBA shows, why it's easy to burn out on nonstop debate content, and how quickly platforms switch directions when a contract ends. From there, we unpack the LaVar Ball and Lonzo Ball relationship headlines and the bigger issue behind them: when a public figure shares personal details, the internet doesn't treat it like a private moment, it treats it like a storyline. We argue over what counts as cheating, whether “living your truth” helps or hurts, and how double standards shape the reaction.We close with a fast-moving culture run: Lil Wayne tour drama and what fans are owed when tickets aren't cheap, Drake streamer clips and Saucy Santana's clapbacks, and a real debate on BET Awards choices like Kendrick Lamar winning again versus artists who arguably had the bigger year. We even touch Zeus Network celebrity boxing, including Ray J vs Orlando Brown, while giving props to Clarissa Shields for building a bigger platform for women's boxing.

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the GRAND FINALE (Session 12) on lyin' Michelle Alexander's *The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness*. Alexander has a living White mother and a deceased Black father. Despite 15 years of institutional celebration for her work, Gus T. anticipated this title being one of the "5 Worst Books Ever." History shows that racists generally do not promote literature that provides an accurate understanding of the System of White Supremacy. This week, we drop the final Mario Elie "Kiss of Death" three-pointer on this text, permanently closing the casket on a 15-year academic hustle. We open the final chapter, *Obama: The Promise and the Peril*, and interrogate the absolute peak of her biographical dishonesty where she explicitly labels Affirmative Action a "racial bribe" that Black people must surrender to play academic "games of chicken" with their own survival. We back up our 12-week forensic media audit by deploying a devastating 14-minute custom audio track from our own 2010 CREE archive and 2016 public media slips. We let the Pusha T, Kendrick Lamar, Ray Charles, and Neely Fuller Jr. audio do the talking because Michelle Alexander has officially fouled out of the game! THE 15-POINT FORENSIC AUDIT SUMMARY: 1. The Manufactured "Underdog" Narrative: Claims she launched to half-empty rooms to conceal the massive institutional "push" that put her on C-SPAN, NPR, and Democracy Now within 5 months of publication. 2. Systemic Deception by Omission: Completely erases COINTELPRO, Jon Burge's torture ring, Attica, and the Black Panthers to bury earlier, more accurate structural work on the Prison-Industrial Complex. 3. Hidden Biographical Motivation: Willfully conceals her multi-ethnic background to hide her personal family defenses under the guise of objective scholarship. 4. Centering White Trauma: Explicitly argues that White women who chose to have interracial relationships under Jim Crow were primary, injured victims of a racial caste system. 5. The Fraudulent "Bribe" Thesis: Claims White people must be "bribed" to practice Racism, belied by a System of White Supremacy where whiteness automatically requires total domination. 6. Reckless Statistical Manipulation: Arbitrarily changes her state prison violent offender statistic from 33% to 52% between editions with zero data reconciliation or explanation. 7. Specious Claims as Fact: Drops massive, sweeping assertions straight onto the print page with absolutely zero footnotes or supporting empirical documentation. 8. The 1980s Progress Myth: Asserts that by the 1980s, the vast majority of White people opposed the practice of Racism—a completely ahistorical claim unsupported by any evidence. 9. Pathologizing Defense Mechanisms: Labels Affirmative Action a "racial bribe" for Black people, telling the victims of state terror to disarm while the system keeps its weapons. 10. Erasing the Real Beneficiaries: Refuses to inform readers of macro-data showing that White women have historically benefited most from Affirmative Action pipelines. 11. The "Accidental" Absolution: Labors mightily to frame the White power structure as ignorant, well-meaning, and "accidentally" racist to shield calculated state intent from exposure. 12. Coddling Whites, Targeting Black Institutions: Sweeps away structural White guilt while using print space to aggressively scold the CBC, the NAACP, and Bill Cosby. 13. Minstrel Linguistic Framing: Selectively quotes Black interviewees in broken, stereotypical English to frame them as inarticulate and implicitly deserving of incarceration. 14. Double-Dipping the Carceral Ledger: Hides that her husband Carter Stewart profited as a federal prosecutor caging Black bodies, while she profited off the fake literary outrage industry. 15. White-Identified Pronoun Usage: Deploys a slippery use of "we," "us," and "our" to identify with White spaces and lump the victims of Racism in as equally culpable for the system.

Episode 492 features guest Brotha2daKnight joining the crew to tackle Lupe Fiasco's ongoing criticism of Kendrick Lamar, debating whether hip hop history ultimately values the master artist over the master lyricist. We unpack the growing divide between internet commentators and actual creators, questioning if metrics are now being mistaken for real cultural expertise. We also break down Twista's recent tax issues, exploring whether the industry's aesthetic pressure to maintain an illusion of immense luxury leads to bad business and financial negligence.

For our members, we dive into a full reaction and review of the 55 CHREECE Last Shot submissions.Support the show

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Rational Black Thought. I am your host, Neo Griot.This is Episode 289, released on July 4, 2026, and the title comes from “Kites” by N.E.R.D., Kendrick Lamar & M.I.A.:“Tuggin' on a string that's connected to a dream - Head-bussa, hittin' nothing, even if I gotta bleed.”That lyric is about commitment. It is about holding onto a vision even when the struggle is exhausting, even when the people standing in your way have more money, more influence, more institutions, and more weapons for distorting reality.Every generation has to decide whether the promises made in this country belong to everybody or only to the people powerful enough to define them.The Fourth of July is supposed to represent independence, self-government, and the refusal to submit to arbitrary power. But those ideals have never arrived automatically. They have always had to be fought for, expanded, defended, and dragged into reality by people the country initially tried to ignore.That is the work in front of us now.We are living through a period when facts are treated as optional, cruelty is marketed as strength, and people who want power without limits demand loyalty as though obedience were patriotism. But democracy does not belong to one party, one race, one religion, one court, or one man with a microphone.It belongs to the people willing to defend it.And sometimes defending it means holding onto a dream with blood on your hands, refusing to let go because the alternative is allowing people who do not believe in freedom to define it for the rest of us.Intro: Quote of the Week: Malcolm X Unmasking the News: Special 4th of July Story: What Is the Fourth of July to the Oppressed? Democracy Watch: A Federal Judge Slaps Trump's Hand in Mail-Voting Power Grab JD Vance, Mike Johnson, and the Fraud That Magically Disappears When Republicans Win Texas and Christian Nationalism: Bible Passages as Required Reading in School Good News: Harris-Stowe and the Infrastructure of Black Power Bible Study with an Atheist:  Did Jesus Fulfill the Old Testament, or Contradict It?

We review Kendrick Lamar and Kahlil Joseph's short film "good kid, m.A.A.d. city" Topics discussed:

The BET Awards takeover brought star power and big conversations to the Rickey Smiley Morning Show, led by Gary With Da Tea’s exclusive interviews with Johnny Gill and rising R&B star Tone Stith. Gill reflected on his legendary career while celebrating the release of his new single,“A Dance, A Kiss,” a collaboration produced by Snoop Dogg that he described as one of those rare records that instantly feels special. Recent reports note the song arrived following the success of his Billboard Adult R&B hit “One Night” and serves as a preview of more music and touring plans to come. Meanwhile, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Tone Stith discussed his journey from writing hits for artists like Chris Brown to stepping into the spotlight with his debut album The Edge, powered by his chart-topping single“Fly,” which recently reached No. 1 on the Adult R&B charts. The show also sparked debate when DaBaby doubled down on his belief that he belongs in the same conversation as Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and J. Cole, boldly declaring himself the best rapper alive while expressing interest in collaborating with hip-hop’s elite. Elsewhere, Dr. MJ Collier’s Wellness Wednesday segment delivered important health advice, urging listeners to prioritize comprehensive physical exams, cancer screenings, cholesterol and thyroid testing, quality sleep, and preventative care. The morning’s entertainment news also highlighted The New York Times’ newly released list of the 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters, which included names such as Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, Jay-Z, Missy Elliott, Babyface, Lionel Richie, Kendrick Lamar, OutKast, and Taylor Swift, sparking conversation about who deserved a spot on the influential list. Packed with music industry insights, health guidance, celebrity interviews, and plenty of laughs, the episode blended entertainment and empowerment in true Rickey Smiley Morning Show fashion.

We Sound Crazy goes live from the National Museum of African American Music in downtown Nashville for one of the most important conversations in show history, sitting down with the Godfather of Funk himself, George Clinton. For more than 60 years, Clinton has pushed the boundaries of creativity, imagination and sound. Through Parliament Funkadelic, he created an entire universe pioneered by the P-Funk movement, helped define Afrofuturism, and laid the foundation for generations of artists across funk, R&B, hip hop and beyond. A Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Grammy Lifetime Achievement recipient, and one of the most sampled artists in music history, Clinton sits with hosts Phillionaire, Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony of Louis York, and Tamone Bacon for a wide-ranging conversation about funk, culture, business and legacy. In a first for We Sound Crazy, he is also presented with the inaugural WSC Vanguard Award, a new honor created to celebrate trailblazers whose impact reshaped the entire landscape of Black music. The conversation moves everywhere the man has been. Clinton revisits the doo-wop and Motown years and explains why failing charm school is exactly what set Parliament Funkadelic free to invent the funk. He breaks down Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell and the Minimoog, the night 100,000 Afros bounced at Soldier Field, the bar mitzvah melody that secretly became Flashlight, and how the barbershop in Newark, New Jersey is responsible for 98 percent of his songwriting process. He talks Kendrick Lamar, his dream collaboration with D'Angelo, Prince and Sly Stone, what he tried to get Snoop to do with a royalty statement party, his mentorship of Prince, and the copyright recapture fight he is leading through his nonprofit Protecting Our Legacy. He also reveals he is in Nashville right now because a brand new Mothership is being built in the city, ready to fly at the Essence Festival in New Orleans on July 5th. And he addresses the question every artist is wrestling with right now: artificial intelligence, what he saw coming in 1977 with Funkentelechy, and why he is more interested in making AI funky than he is afraid of it. Press play for one of the most important voices in music history, in his own words, on his own time. We Sound Crazy is your backstage pass to all things music and culture.

From the viral cookout skit that #KendrickLamar sampled for his "Mr Morale" album, consistently getting slapped by his 5 foot tall Dominican mother on his miscellaneous adventures, to opening for #BadBunny & #Aventura, Radel Ortiz has made himself a household brand that MILLIONS adore and share laughs with on a daily. Getting his first taste of a viral moment about 8 years ago with his #JoynerLucas parody, "I'm Not A Vegan", it seems like the East New York bred digital creator turned stand-up comedian was destined for world-wide notoriety. While on his 2026 Comedy Tour, "Fat Bunny" stopped by CWTFB Radio for some quick media during his 3 show, 2 night stay in Boston! What most people don't know is that #CharlieMaSheen & Radel go back over well 10yrs and have been trying to put this together for quite some time now. Finally, the timing aligned and we have one of the most HILARIOUS reunions of 2 old friends who are thriving in their respective spaces. On this episode Charlie talks to "Andy" about working closely with his mom, going on tour and performing internationally, going from making skits to stand-up, a new segment we call "How Dominican Are You?", and SO MUCH MORE! This conversation could have went on for hours since they haven't hung out since last year when Radel performed at Laugh Boston for the first time, but since the creator of "Lambon University" had to get ready for his first show at Laugh Boston this year, we cut it shorter than we wanted but had a LOT of good stories and shared a lot of laughs. If you're a fan of his work, you WILL NOT WANT TO MISS OUT ON THIS ONE!
