This week on Termagant Talk, Goodie and Shantel celebrate 53 years of hip hop by taking a journey through the culture that shaped them. From their earliest memories of Rapper's Delight, Hot Tracks, and Soul Train to the Golden Era, the shiny suit era, and today's resurgence of lyrical hip hop, they reflect on the music, artists, and moments that defined generations.The conversation explores the evolution of hip hop, the rise of adult contemporary rap, the importance of preserving the culture through documentaries and new art forms, and why women have always been an essential part of hip hop's story. They also tackle LL Cool J's claim that he's the most important rapper of all time, sparking a passionate debate about legacy, influence, and whether it's even possible to crown the greatest while we're still in the time.Join us for another unfiltered conversation where hip hop is more than music. It's history, culture, and community.#TermagantTalk #HipHop53 #HipHopPodcast #GoldenEra #LLCoolJ #Nas #KRSOne #RunDMC #HipHopCulture #BlackCulture #Podcast

Mark survived his first episode, so naturally he came back for another.This time, Brad kicked things off with a travel story that somehow involved a near-missed flight, a greasy Bojangles biscuit that stained his shorts, and enough airport anxiety to make MTD's "arrive four hours early" philosophy sound completely reasonable. Then they reviewed Halloween H20.Except... they refused to call it Halloween H20.Within minutes the movie had been permanently renamed Halloween Water, because apparently someone in Hollywood thought using the chemical formula for water was cooler than calling it Halloween 20 Years Later. Brad wasn't buying it.Instead of discussing the plot, the guys immediately started pitching better movies.What if Michael Myers went camping?What if Michael Myers took a road trip across America?What if Michael Myers stopped at Buc-ee's to carve brisket?What if he worked the carving station wearing a hairnet while still carrying the same knife he'd been using for twenty years?All of those somehow sounded more entertaining than the actual movie.Then came the question nobody at the studio apparently asked:How does Michael Myers get from Illinois to California?This is before GPS.Did he have an atlas?Did he stop at a gas station and ask for directions?Did he kill people just to pay for fuel?Did he spend the night at a Motel 6?These are the mysteries Movie Torture asks because Hollywood refuses to.The movie itself didn't escape the criticism either.Brad couldn't figure out why Michael Myers suddenly decides not to kill people he normally would.Mark questioned how Laurie Strode somehow became the head of a private school after faking her identity.Neither of them understood why the school supposedly had hundreds of students but only about six people ever appear on screen.By the halfway point they'd also discussed Kevin Williamson, Dawson's Creek, Josh Hartnett's permanently messy hair, LL Cool J's career, Rocky, The Muppet Show, and whether Michael Myers secretly wakes up every October 31st like a bear coming out of hibernation thinking, "Guess it's time to go find Laurie again."Somewhere in there they did eventually talk about Halloween Water.Not much.But enough to conclude that twenty years of waiting somehow produced a movie where the funniest part wasn't Michael Myers......it was imagining him asking a stranger for directions to California.

Interview Date: August 2nd, 2026Episode Summary:In this episode of The Business of Dance Podcast, Menina Fortunato sits down with legendary B-boy, choreographer, creative producer, and three-time World Champion Ivan “Flipz” Velez for a conversation about building a career that lasts.Ivan shares his journey from discovering breaking and pursuing his passion in New York to becoming a professional dancer, touring internationally, working across major dance films, performing at the Olympics, and eventually expanding his career into choreography, casting, producing, stunt work, and motion capture.Beyond the credits, Ivan gets candid about the qualities that have sustained his career: professionalism, humility, kindness, preparation, persistence, and being willing to help others. He explains why being the most talented dancer in the room isn't enough and how reputation, relationships, representation, and consistently showing up prepared can create opportunities for decades.The conversation also explores agents, managers, publicists, personal branding, social media, and the importance of putting yourself and your work out into the world—even before you feel completely ready. Ivan reminds dancers that their individual talent deserves to be seen and that there is room for everyone to succeed.During the mentee Q&A, Ivan shares lessons from decades in breaking, including resilience, humility, navigating injuries, and continuing to evolve. His story is a powerful example of how dance can become the vehicle to an entire career in entertainment when artists refuse to limit themselves to a single title.Shownotes:00:00 — Meet legendary B-boy Ivan “Flipz” Velez08:31 — Chasing breaking's roots all the way to NYC09:25 — Betting on himself before booking Honey24:40 — Reflecting on decades of unforgettable career milestones26:43 — Why helping others can shape your career30:20 — Professionalism becomes the secret to career longevity31:02 — Staying humble when someone is always better40:16 — How representation helped protect and elevate him44:31 — Building the agent-manager-publicist dream team48:56 — Understanding publicity as an investment in yourself54:38 — Put yourself out there before you're ready1:13:00 — What breaking taught Ivan about life1:14:43 — The physical sacrifices behind a breaking career1:16:25 — Passion and persistence through major injuries1:23:37 — Commit, execute, and never limit your possibilitiesBiography:Ivan “Flipz” Velez is a host, choreographer, creative producer, three-time World Champion, and renowned B-boy who began his career as a dancer and stunt performer.Throughout his career, Ivan has toured the world with top international music icons and acted and danced in major dance films spanning the past two decades. He is also the founder of the internationally recognized Skill Methodz Crew, one of the most elite and legendary B-boy crews in the world.Ivan continues to act in film and on stage while performing and creating across commercial projects. His infectious positive energy, endless creativity, and commitment to excellence have established him as more than an exceptional performer—he has become a trusted collaborator and creative force across entertainment.Having built his career around his unique style, inventiveness, and out-of-the-box thinking, Ivan has carried that same creativity behind the camera, expanding his work into choreography, casting, and producing.“See the INVISIBLE… can do the IMPOSSIBLE.” — Ivan “Flipz” Velezhttps://www.instagram.com/ivanflipzvelez?utm_source=ig_profile_share&igshid=2i6wdlr5gitiWebsite: https://www.ivan-flipz-velez.com/

Before the culture had a mainstream stage, one man in Queens pointed a camera at the streets and hit record. This week on The Trend with Justin A. Williams, I sit down with the legendary Ralph "Uncle Ralph" McDaniels — DJ, VJ, director, archivist, and the co-creator of Video Music Box, the first television show in the world built for hip-hop, and still the longest-running music video program ever made.Since 1983, Ralph has been the eye behind the culture. He put Jay-Z, Nas, Biggie, and LL Cool J on screen before the world knew their names, directed over 400 music videos, co-produced films like Juice, and quietly built an archive of more than 20,000 hours of footage that amounts to a living record of hip-hop history. He even coined the on-air shout-out. If you grew up on New York rap, you grew up on Ralph — whether you knew it or not.We get into the origin of Video Music Box, what it took to document a movement in real time, the ascent of AI usage and why Ralph believes the pioneers themselves need to be the ones teaching the culture. This is a conversation about vision, preservation, and building something that outlasts you.Tap in. You're watching the blueprint.#Trend with us

This week on Termagant Talk, Goodie and Shantel celebrate a New York summer that's giving main character energy. From LeBron's rumored New York move and Carmelo Anthony's next chapter to Cardi B's latest snippet, they unpack the headlines through a distinctly New York lens.The conversation shifts to hip hop politics as they break down the 38 Spesh vs. Jadakiss situation, debate rap etiquette, discuss Jim Jones, masculinity, and whether hospitality has disappeared from the culture. They also revisit the era of Bobby Brown, LL Cool J, Chuckii Booker, and the kind of lover-boy energy today's artists seem to be missing.To close things out, they preview Netflix's Love Is Blind: New York, recommend Jadakiss' Two Jews & Two Black Dudes Review the Movies, and ask the question that matters most: What happened to New York romance?Join us for another unfiltered conversation where hip hop is more than music. It's history, culture, and community.#TermagantTalk #HipHopPodcast #NewYorkCulture #Jadakiss #CardiB #JimJones #LoveIsBlind #LLCoolJ #BobbyBrown #ChuckiiBooker #BlackCulture #Podcast

FUNKY DRUMMER In this episode of Turn The Beat Around, we unpack the story behind one of the most influential recordings in modern music: James Brown's Funky Drummer. Recorded in 1969 and released in 1970, the track features Clyde Stubblefield's legendary 20‑second improvised drum break — a groove that went on to be sampled in more than 2,000 songs across hip‑hop, pop, rock, dance, and electronic music. Across two hours, we trace how this single drum loop became hip‑hop's heartbeat, powering tracks by Public Enemy, LL Cool J, and De La Soul, before crossing into pop and rock via artists like George Michael, Fine Young Cannibals and Kylie Minogue.

Welcome to PTBN Pop's Movie Review of The Day! Every weekday we will be reviewing a movie whether it be currently in theaters, featured on streaming or just a film that we hold near and dear to us. Since we are in the middle of the summer, we're dedicating this week to a popular subgenre of films that often come out this time of year, killer shark movies. On today's episode, Andy Atherton is reviewing “Deep Blue Sea” from 1999 starring Thomas Jane, Saffron Burrows, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Rapaport & LL Cool J.

Episode 071: They say you can't keep a good artist down, and this week we are proving it with a deep dive into the art of the comeback. We kick things off with the definitive hip-hop masterclass in returning with vengeance from LL Cool J, before shifting gears into the loyal, unified punk spirit of Rancid. We then pivot to the stark, haunting weight of Johnny Cash's late-career reinvention, transition into the loud, glorious theatricality of Tenacious D, and dive into the explosive, high-energy return of The Hives. We close out the set by letting Gloria Gaynor belt out the ultimate anthem of resilience that reminds us exactly why staying in the game is the sweetest victory of all. It's a six-track exploration of reclamation, endurance, and pure sonic rebirth.   Apple Podcasts Instagram Spotify Playlist Official Site

The duo catch up after a long hiatus, they talk Missy Elliot headlining her own tour. Usher doing a residency in Las Vegas and summer concerts. LL Cool J's new album "The Force" at the top of his pinnacle. Snoop Dogg dropping a plethora of work that carries his career.

This week on the Action Movie Guys Podcast, Alex and Nate revisit S.W.A.T. (2003), the action-packed remake starring Colin Farrell, Samuel L. Jackson, Michelle Rodriguez, and LL Cool J. After years away from the film, the guys jump back into the tactical action to see if this early-2000s blockbuster still has what it takes.From intense shootouts and memorable one-liners to the all-star cast and adrenaline-fueled finale, Alex and Nate break down what still works, what doesn't, and whether S.W.A.T. deserves more love from action movie fans.

In June 1987, mainstream media outlets still dismissed hip-hop as a "fad"—a passing novelty expected to burn out like disco. On the streets of New York, the culture was alive and thriving, but it belonged entirely to the collective. Multi-man crews, legendary DJs, and massive block parties ruled the underground scene. Hip-hop was fundamentally a team sport where rappers traded microphones to keep crowds moving. Then, a 19-year-old kid from Queens stepped up to a solo microphone, tilted his Kangol hat, and permanently changed the musical landscape. In this episode of The You Gotta Laugh Podcast I break down the exact four minutes of LL COOL J's legendary track, "I'm Bad." We explore how this single release shattered traditional industry rules to birth the archetype of the modern, ultra-confident solo rap icon.

Summer 2026 is here, which means we're going to be obnoxiously thematic for a while. So dive in with us today as we revisit the 90's shark thriller, DEEP BLUE SEA. Was it nostalgia that drew us to this one, or is it just a really fun time? Also, as always, we've picked out the most loathsome characters from the film, so join us at the end of the episode in voting for which one was the most deserving to die. If you would like to join our livestream recordings for The Cherry Picker, we would be thrilled to have you with us.

This is our last episode of Haunted Homebodies Season 2, and man do we go out with a BANG...or is that the sound of poor Stellan Skarsgard's one-armed body being used as a battering ram by a shark? If that sentence doesn't tell you enough about the film we're covering today, just know we also talk about the incredibly bad science, non-stop anxiety-inducing underwater action scenes, something known as a “shark wrangler”, and also LL Cool J. All in all, it's a great time, and a perfect send off for the season.Links for Today's Episode:Join the Homebodies:Subscribe to Our Substack!Watch Full Video Episodes on YouTube!Credits:Podcast Art: Lunch City StudioMusic: Goosebumps by Veace D Get full access to Haunted Homebodies Podcast at hauntedhomebodies.substack.com/subscribe

Send us Fan MailIn this exclusive interview, The Mox and Mike from The Barn Media chat with legendary comedian, actor, businessman, and podcast host T.K. Kirkland ahead of his highly anticipated run at Helium Comedy Club in St. Louis from July 3–5.Known as the “Gangsta of Comedy,” TK Kirkland has built a legendary career spanning over 40 years. Born in Jersey City and raised in Compton, TK first gained major exposure touring with N.W.A and has since shared stages with icons like Eminem, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, and Keyshia Cole. He's appeared in classic music videos including Express Yourself, It's Funky Enough, and Window Shopper, while also dominating comedy with projects like Are There Any Questions, Who Raised You?, and Gangsta Conversation.In this conversation, TK opens up about:

From Big Mac's controversial hat getting compared to Spike Lee and LL Cool J, to Craig's brutally honest thoughts on going bald, comb-overs, and John Cena's hair transplant, the laughs don't stop. The conversation even spirals into classic TV shows, Beatles trivia with the interns, and whether Shohei Ohtani deserves to win the Cy Young Award.

They discuss the results of a listener poll regarding whether LL Cool J or Biggie Smalls is most associated with the song "Going Back to Cali" before pivoting to the New York Yankees' recent struggles. The conversation covers Aaron Judge's rehab progress and the pressure on younger players like Ben Rice and Cam Schlittler to fill the void. Callers also weigh in on the New York Mets' season and local Italian restaurant recommendations. 01:20 - Cali Artist Debate 05:12 - Song Title Challenge 10:36 - NBA Trade Reactions 15:12 - Mets Fan Perspective 19:03 - Italian Restaurant Talk 24:50 - Yankees June Swoon 29:56 - Aaron Judge Update 38:46 - Lakers Legend Debate 43:18 - Brooklyn Roots Invitation

Who owns "Going Back to Cali"- LL Cool J or The Notorious B.I.G.? Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle turn a simple music question into an all-out debate, complete with a live listener poll that delivers a surprising result! Then the conversation goes completely off the rails with a rapid-fire trivia game featuring songs named after cities and states, hilarious intern struggles, and an unexpected NBA trade reaction.

Any Given Sunday Review | Born to Watch PodcastOur Any Given Sunday Review takes the Born to Watch boys back to 1999 for Oliver Stone's chaotic, testosterone-fuelled dive into the world of professional football. Featuring Al Pacino, Jamie Foxx, Dennis Quaid and peak Cameron Diaz, Any Given Sunday promised everything a sports movie fan could want. But does it still hold up, or is this one all style and no substance?Whitey, Dan and special guest Will strap on the shoulder pads and revisit Oliver Stone's divisive NFL epic. What starts as a love letter to sports movies quickly turns into an examination of shaky cameras, over-the-top editing, giant egos and one of the most exhausting viewing experiences the boys have tackled in a while.Al Pacino brings his trademark intensity as veteran coach Tony D'Amato, desperately trying to hold together the Miami Sharks while battling a ruthless owner, rebellious players and a rapidly changing game. Jamie Foxx bursts onto the scene as Willie Beamen, the backup quarterback who suddenly becomes a superstar, while Dennis Quaid delivers a solid performance as ageing veteran Cap Rooney.Along the way, the boys discuss why Oliver Stone seems determined to assault your eyeballs with every editing trick imaginable. From subliminal gladiator imagery to frantic camera work and changing film stock, Whitey wonders whether the movie is trying too hard to be profound. Dan compares it to Natural Born Killers and argues that Stone's style overwhelms the actual story.The conversation naturally branches out into memories of 1999, drunken phone calls, encounters with Elizabeth Berkley, backup quarterbacks becoming heroes, and whether there is a more pressure-filled position in sport than an NFL quarterback.There's also plenty of appreciation for the stacked cast. James Woods shines as the dodgy doctor, LL Cool J delivers one of the biggest dickheads in sports movie history, and Lawrence Taylor proves real athletes can occasionally act. Meanwhile, Cameron Diaz splits the room, with Whitey refusing to give prime Diaz a quickfire vote despite the objections of everyone else.As always, the boys go deep into the IMDb ratings, box office numbers and critical reviews before throwing around comparisons to Varsity Blues, Office Space, American Beauty and other classics from the legendary year of 1999.But the biggest question remains. Is Any Given Sunday a genuine sports classic, or is it simply a two-and-a-half-hour migraine wrapped in slow motion and Kid Rock?One thing is certain.

David Senra: Read the notes at at podcastnotes.org. Don't forget to subscribe for free to our newsletter, the top 10 ideas of the week, every Monday --------- Rick Rubin grew up on Long Island obsessed with music — arena rock at 13, punk by high school, then hip-hop when it was still a street movement you could only hear at one club in New York City. The records coming out didn't sound like the club. They were made by professionals who didn't go to the club. So at 18, while a freshman at NYU, he made one himself — "It's Yours" with T La Rock. It sold 100,000 copies in 18 months. He put his dorm room address on the sleeve. This launched Def Jam Recordings. LL Cool J's first record came next. The Beastie Boys after that. His credit on those records didn't say "produced by." It said "reduced by" — a theological statement as much as a job title. His method has never changed: strip everything down until what remains has no place to hide, then protect whatever magic appears. He's applied it to Jay-Z, Johnny Cash, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eminem, The Strokes, Metallica, Kanye West, Tom Petty, and many other top artists.  He describes himself as a lazy workaholic. The Zen exterior is real. So is the guy who spent the first 25 years of his career in a dark room 16 hours a day, seven days a week, waiting for a miracle to show up.

What if one celebrity client could permanently change the trajectory of your entire career? In this episode, Dr. Catrise Austin, celebrity dentist turned brand authority strategist, shares how a bold move at a New York restaurant in the 1990s launched a career that would land her in hip hop history. She introduced herself to Isaac Hayes over dinner, became his dentist, went to the Oscars and Grammys, got a publicist through a barter deal, and eventually transformed Cardi B's smile on national television. The Cardi B episode aired as a season premiere on Love and Hip Hop, the song Bodak Yellow went number one, and TMZ ran the story. Her business tripled overnight. What she built over 30 years wasn't just a celebrity dental practice. It was a masterclass in how relationships compound when you protect them the way most people protect money.   [00:04:20] What She Does and Who She Serves Brand authority strategist helping entrepreneurs become the go-to in their industries Uses the FAME Formula to help clients climb the authority ladder Works across dental, medical, corporate, and entrepreneurial spaces [00:05:20] How She Got Here Two years after dental school, moved to New York and started networking Hit comedy clubs in the 90s and befriended a young Kevin Hart and Tracy Morgan Comedians opened for music acts; she started meeting people in the music industry Realized she could be the dentist to the stars and started passing out flyers at celebrity hotspots [00:07:40] The Night That Started Everything: Isaac Hayes Walked up to Isaac Hayes at P. Diddy's restaurant and gave him her elevator pitch He had never seen a dentist like her; he invited her to sit down for dinner She left with his phone number and his promise to become her first celebrity client That one bold move launched her career as a celebrity dentist [00:11:00] What Isaac Did Next Sent his assistant to vet her office before committing Once convinced, put her in his entourage and took her to the Oscars and Grammys Introduced her to Denzel Washington's wife, who gave her a home phone number she was too scared to call Encouraged her to get a publicist; her mom had a card for Eddie Murphy's publicist Terri Williams [00:13:00] The Publicist Who Changed the Game: Renee Foster Terri Williams loved the story but charged $50,000 a month; she referred her to Renee Foster Renee didn't have a dentist; they bartered services In exchange for cleanings, Renee got her on the Today Show and Good Morning America That third-party visibility put her on the map in a way self-promotion never could [00:15:40] What Inspires Her: The Power of a Smile Had terrible teeth growing up; her mom sacrificed as a single parent to get her braces Wearing braces for a year changed her confidence completely and made her want to become a dentist Seeing a smile transformation and knowing firsthand how it feels is the greatest feeling in dentistry The smile is your business card, your mood ring, and the first thing people notice about you [00:19:20] The Relationship That Etched Her in History: Mona Scott-Young Music executive Mona Scott-Young managed P. Diddy, LL Cool J, Missy Elliott, and 50 Cent They bonded after receiving an award together; Mona sent her the biggest music acts of the era Each high-profile referral added credibility and trust with the general public Fast forward to 2016: Mona was producing Love and Hip Hop on VH1 [00:21:40] Cardi B and the Billboard Number One Cardi B joined Love and Hip Hop with a big personality but teeth she was constantly mocked for Because of her relationship with Mona, Dr. Austin got the call to do the smile makeover The transformation aired as the season premiere and Cardi later referenced it in Bodak Yellow The song hit number one on Billboard; TMZ ran the story and her business tripled overnight [00:25:40] How She Protects Relationship Capital People constantly ask her to introduce them to Cardi B; she never asks Cardi for anything Her rule: only make introductions that further the relationship with both parties She lost friends over refusing to make introductions; she has no regrets Treat clients like family; that is the foundation of everything she has built [00:31:20] Client Impact: Omarosa's Mother Omarosa insisted her New York dentist fly to California to do her mother's smile makeover for a Discovery Channel show Her mother's teeth needed significant work; Dr. Austin coordinated four additional dentists Any Beverly Hills dentist could have done it; Omarosa's loyalty to their relationship made it happen Giving someone's mother a confident smile was one of the greatest honors of her career [00:35:00] Final Word: Bring Back the Personal Touch Learned from Terri Williams's book The Personal Touch to go beyond digital communication Pick up the phone, write a personal note, send a postcard when traveling The small things nobody else is doing anymore are what make you stand out Honor your clients; treat them like family and they will never leave   KEY QUOTES "You don't have to be the best at what you do to get the opportunities. Sometimes it's the best known that gets all the opportunities." - Dr. Catrise Austin "I am so protective of the relationship I don't ask for anything. If I asked her for something, she would know this is a big deal, because I don't ask." - Dr. Catrise Austin CONNECT WITH DR.

One of the biggest highlights is attorney Ben Crump teaming up with LL Cool J to launch a financial literacy platform aimed at underserved communities, offering tools and education to help close the wealth gap and support unbanked Americans. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show delivers a lively mix of inspiration, headlines, and culture—starting with a powerful prayer to set the tone before diving into conversations that blend community impact with trending entertainment news. One of the biggest highlights is attorney Ben Crump teaming up with LL Cool J to launch a financial literacy platform aimed at underserved communities, offering tools and education to help close the wealth gap and support unbanked Americans. The show also unpacks Gayle King’s headline-making interview, where her ex-husband publicly apologized for cheating with one of her close friends years ago—a deeply personal story she says many women can relate to, even after time and healing. On the entertainment side, the crew reacts to K. Michelle making it clear she has no interest in collaborating musically with her fellow Real Housewives castmates, saying she’s focused on her own established career and not “dabbling” outside her lane. Meanwhile, hip-hop fans have something to look forward to as Lil Wayne confirms that Tha Carter VII is “coming soon,” though he admits the title and timing are still up in the air as he continues to stack new music.

This episode was never meant for the public. It was recorded exclusively for our Patreon community — the people who are already in the inner circle. But we're pulling the curtain back and letting you see what S2S really looks like when the pressure is off, the cameras are still rolling, and nobody is performing for anybody. This is the crew unfiltered. No script. No agenda. Just ET, Karl, CJ, and Jemal being exactly who they are. From 80s hip-hop debates to the first game they ever ran, to ET getting real about why he stopped giving his expertise away for free — this episode has everything the highlight reel never shows you.
