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. Stay locked for the latest on one of the most anticipated unreleased tracks in hip-hop right now.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2021 conversation with Richard Marx. ABOUT RICHARD MARX:Grammy-winning performer Richard Marx has sold more than 30 million albums as an artist, but if you only know him from late 1980s ballads such as “Hold on to the Nights” and “Right Here Waiting,” you only know part of the story. A prolific songwriter, Marx has landed fourteen songs at the top of various Billboard charts, and has written a #1 single in each of the last four decades. His genre-crossing songwriting success includes “What About Me” and “Crazy,” which Kenny Rogers carried to the top of the Adult Contemporary and Country charts, respectively; “Edge of a Broken Heart,” a hit for the female metal band Vixen; “This I Promise You,” a Top 5 pop single for NSYNC that stayed at #1 on the Adult Contemporary Chart for 13 weeks; Josh Groban's debut single “To Where You Are,” which also reached #1; and “Dance With My Father,” which Richard wrote with the song's performer, Luther Vandross, and which earned the pair the prestigious Grammy Song of the Year award in 2004. Additionally, Richard has scored three major hits with Keith Urban: the Top 5 “Everybody,” and the #1 singles “Better Life” and “Long Hot Summer.”  Despite all his songwriting success, however, Marx is best known as a singer and performer who today jokes about his 80s hairstyle and of-the-era drum sounds. But the songs are undeniable, all of which Marx wrote and produced himself. His debut self-titled album yielded four Top 5 singles: “Don't Mean Nothing,” “Should've Known Better,” “Endless Summer Nights,” and “Hold on to the Nights.” His follow-up, 1989's Repeat Offender, was even more successful, going quadruple-platinum and earning two number one Billboard pop singles, “Satisfied” and “Right Here Waiting,” in addition to the Top 5 “Angelina.” More hits followed, including “Keep Coming Back,” “Hazard,” “Take This Heart,” “Now and Forever,” and “Until I Find You Again.” In addition, Richard's songs have been integral to a number of successful film soundtracks. He earned a Grammy nomination for his contributions to St. Elmo's Fire; scored a Top 10 pop hit with “Surrender to Me,” which Ann Wilson of Heart and Robin Zander of Cheap Trick recorded for the movie Tequila Sunrise, and wrote “At the Beginning,” a hit duet for the film Anastasia that Richard performed with Donna Lewis. Over the course of his career, Richard's songs have been recorded by Barbra Streisand, The Tubes, Sarah Brightman, Monica, Natalie Cole, Michael Bolton, Paulina Rubio, Emerson Drive, Chicago, Billy Ray Cyrus, Vince Gill, Kenny Loggins, LeAnn Rimes, Celine Dion, Julio Iglesias, Berry Manilow, Daughtry, Vertical Horizon, Lifehouse, Dave Koz, Jennifer Nettles, Ringo Starr, and many others. His memoir, Stories to Tell, is available from Simon & Shuster.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

TranscriptThis morning, I'd like to start like this.Why don't I start like this?Check this out. What if I started by telling you that I love you? I'm excited to sow the seeds of the Word of God into your life today. I pray that they make a difference. Today, I believe the word of the Lord is going to bring somebody a harvest. I believe somebody came to church today to hear what God is about to say.A couple of things I want to say on our laundry list. If you're missing Pastor Erik and his family—Pastor has been blessed to be called to another assembly today to encourage two churches that are trying to come together. They believe, and we know, that he has a lot to say in that regard. He is insightful. He's anointed to preach to that. So they're trying to come together, and they asked him to come give his insights and his expertise and to bring his anointing. So we're praying for Pastor Erik—that as God uses him, he'll be a blessing to those two congregations who we believe God is trying to make one.Also, additionally, we talked last week about these being hard times for people with regard to food. We have some provisions here at the church. If you know someone who's struggling, we have five bags in the conference room of ready-to-go provisions, and we're willing to do more. We also certainly support The Sharing Place. We have Finn come in—we'll have them back this fall. We've also been in collaboration and conversation with several of the congregations in our community, just seeing what we can do as a united effort to be a blessing in this season. So just know that we're prepared to do that. If you know of a need, we're prepared to do something—not everything—but we're praying, all right?I believe the word's going to bless somebody today. Let me just get this out of the way. Yesterday, or over the weekend, our couples ministry had an event. Do we have a picture of that? What do y'all think of that group? Their example of people who are trying to strengthen their relationships, strengthen their bonds—we thank God for our leadership in that ministry, and that offering continues to come.Now, I know that the Colts are actively playing right now, so let me just address the elephant in the room. I know if I look around, I see you checking the score. They're ahead 13–7, by the way. I'm excited.Do me a favor. God's going to bless us today through the word. Would you invest in it? Would you hold your cup up before the Lord and humbly say, “Fill my cup, Lord, and let it overflow”?It's on the inside. You should know that it was always on the inside. The pearls—particularly the ones from God—are hidden. Something on the inside working on the outside brought about a change in my life. It's on the inside. And that thing that's on the inside—if you connect with it, if you find it, if you touch it, if you believe in it and cultivate it—God has given it an assignment.Our sermon thought today is that your gift will make room for you.Here's what somebody came to church to hear today: Somebody—maybe not everybody—but somebody needs you. Somebody is waiting for you to find you. Something on the inside is what we'll contemplate today with this thought: your gift has been assigned to make room for you.Last week, Pastor Erik took us to Genesis 37 and introduced us to Joseph's coat—the multicolored robe that his father Jacob gave him as a sign of favor, identity, and calling. We learned that your identity is your first garment. It's prerequisite to calling. Nobody will do what they're assigned to do until and unless they find out who they're assigned to be. Identity is the first garment we all wear. No wonder the enemy fights us in that area.Something God clothes you with before the world ever weighs in or gives their opinion. Pastor Erik also helped us see the tension that comes with favor. Joseph's coat made him visible, and the visibility provoked jealousy. By the end of Genesis 37, his brothers stripped him of that coat, dipped it in goat's blood, and threw Joseph in a pit.Here's the question that sets us up for today: What happens when the coat is gone? What happens when the external sign of favor gets stripped away? Does the favor disappear with the coat? Does the calling end? Has God forgotten about you?In Genesis 39 today, we get the answer. The coat was merely external—but the gifts, the pearls—they are internal. The coat was what people could see, but the gifts—the actual anointing, the competence, the presence of God on Joseph's life—those were woven into who he was. Those gifts didn't disappear when the coat was taken. In fact, those gifts were about to be refined, tested, and seasoned in a way that would prepare Joseph for something far greater than what he ever imagined.That's true for somebody who showed up today as well.Today, we're talking about servanthood, gifts, and how God uses obscurity—those seasons when nobody's looking—to add flavor to our favor.Before we jump into Genesis 39, let me ask you something. Has anyone ever had anything ripped away from them? Maybe it was your job that gave you a pink slip, and suddenly the identity you built around your career was gone. Maybe it was a relationship—a spouse who handed you divorce papers—and the life you thought you were building just evaporated. Maybe you went to the doctor like me and had them say something negative about your health. Or maybe it was your mental stability—a diagnosis that brought anxiety or depression.Maybe it's something else, but what happens when the things you identify with get ripped away? You may start wondering: Has God forgotten about you? Are you a has-been? Are you washed up? Did you miss your shot?Some of you—in that pit right now—are wondering if this is it. Maybe you've reached the top of the mountain and thought it would feel better than this. Are your best days behind you? Has God moved on without you?If you don't hear anything else, hear this: The pit is not the end. The pit is preparation. What's being revealed in your season of loss is more valuable than what you lost.Have you ever found anything great about yourself during a season of loss? The Bible says David came to Ziklag, lost his wives, his children, his property, and even the confidence of his men—but it was in that season of great loss that David found strength in the Lord his God.The pit teaches us. If all the pit does is take things away, the pit wins. But if God uses the pit for revelation—if the pit shows you what's truly yours—then the pit becomes a teacher, not a tragedy.Joseph shows us that what gets stripped away in the pit was external, but what gets revealed in the pit was always on the inside.Point number one: the coat was external, but the gift of God was internal. The coat was the visible sign of his father's favor. It got him noticed—but it also got him thrown in a pit and sold into slavery. When the coat was gone, Joseph still had something: the anointing, the favor, and the gifting of God that had not yet been discovered.Joseph went from wearing a coat of many colors to wearing a coat of many blessings. The first was visible but strippable; the second was invisible but unstrippable. Nobody could take off what God had placed within him.We all get this coat. Not everyone has visible markers that make people notice, but all of us—even you—have been given gifts and anointing by the Father.When Pastor Erik was preaching last week, I had a side thought: Joseph's brothers were destroyed because they were consumed by what the Father gave Joseph. They couldn't focus on or be grateful for what the Father had given them.Reuben had authority and inheritance. Judah would become the leader; the kings came through his line. Each brother had blessing, but they couldn't see it.They couldn't see their own gifts because they were too busy resenting Joseph's coat.Proverbs 18:16 says, “A person's gift opens doors for them and brings them before great people.” The question isn't whether you have a gift—it's whether you're stewarding it.Luther Vandross spent years singing backup for other artists. His voice added depth to someone else's spotlight, but those years of faithful service weren't wasted—they were developing a voice that would earn him eight Grammys. The gift was always there—it just needed seasoning.Gifts come without repentance, but gifts without testing are dangerous. Favor needs flavor. Joseph had favor, but he didn't yet have the seasoning that comes from service and testing.Point two: gifts are discovered and refined in the confines of service.Genesis 39:1–6 — Joseph was taken to Egypt. Potiphar bought him. The Lord was with Joseph, and he prospered. Potiphar saw that the Lord was with him. The Lord blessed everything Potiphar had because of Joseph.The pattern is clear: the Lord was with Joseph; others could see it; and blessing overflowed to everyone around him.When the Lord is with someone, things prosper. Success becomes a pattern, not an accident. The blessing overflows.Joseph lost the coat of many colors, but now he wears the coat of many blessings—prosperity, favor, trust, and freedom. Faithfulness made the presence of God undeniable—not because he advertised it, but because God's presence cannot be hidden.Joseph didn't wait for the platform. He didn't sulk in the pit. He served faithfully where he was. Serving is stewarding your gift with excellence in someone else's house while God prepares your own.Joseph made Potiphar's situation better. Potiphar prospered because of Joseph's faithfulness. Sometimes before you can reach your summit, God may require you to help lift someone else to theirs.That's the kingdom principle. The world says, “Focus on your own success first.” But the kingdom says, “Use your gift to make others successful.”The brothers wanted Joseph's position without his process. Serving wasn't a detour to destiny—it was the path.Pastor Ken shares how his father-in-law, who cut grass faithfully for years, built trust and favor through excellent service. When health issues forced him to stop working, those he served kept paying him for years. That's what favor will do—it makes room for you in ways you can't measure.Joseph went from the coat of many colors to the coat of many blessings.Pastor Ken closes with an illustration about Sauce Gardner, the NFL player traded from the Jets to the Colts. Gardner said when he got the call, he ran around his house—because things can change in a day. He didn't ask for a trade; he just stayed faithful where he was. Somebody saw his faithfulness and said, “We need him.”God sees you, too. Even when others don't, He's preparing you. We often think we're ready before we are—but God uses the process to make sure we're seasoned for the blessing.Father, we thank you for this day. Thank you for seasons of loss. Thank you for the pit experience. We wouldn't choose it, but we thank you for what it reveals. Thank you for obscurity, for faithfulness when no one else is looking, for seasons of backup singing and grass-cutting, for the unseen work that builds unseen favor.God, I pray for the one in the pit today—the one who feels stripped and unseen. Remind them that You see them. That what's being refined within them will be exactly what someone else needs.Finish what You've started in us, Lord. Take us from the coat of many colors to the coat of many blessings. In Jesus' name, amen.Come on, everybody, let's give God praise.

** PLEASE SUBSCRIBE ** Featured in WYGYFF Episode 31: Singer-songwriter and guitarist James “Crab” Robinson. He is best known for replacing Luther Vandross as lead vocalist for the popular disco-soul-funk group Change, recording three albums with them from 1981-1983. Prior to that he worked with Norman Connors and Lonnie Liston Smith, and later on he recorded with Lenny White, Jeff Lorber and Will Downing, among others. He also released a solo album, called Guilty, in 1987. RECORDED JUNE 2025 Hosted by Scott "DR GX" Goldfine — musicologist, author of “Everything Is on the One: The First Guide of Funk” and creator/host of the popular TRUTH IN RHYTHM podcast — "Where'd You Get Your Funk From?" is the latest interview show brought to you by FUNKNSTUFF.NET. Where'd You Get Your Funk From (WYGYFF) is an open format video and audio podcast focusing on the here and now, with a broad range of creative and artistic guests sharing fascinating stories, experiences, and perspectives.

A common thread, is the show's standard opening question: Where'd you get your funk from? This is much deeper than it may seem as the answer need not be strictly about funky music, as not everyone has found the funk. It could hit on whatever type of music touches their soul or pleasure centers. Additionally, the question extends beyond music. Paraphrasing George Clinton, funk is whatever it needs to be to get you over the hump. Thus, guests can explain where they got their grit, perseverance, inspiration, talent, creativity, character or other qualities that shaped them into who they are today.

Welcome to a soulful installment featuring everything from 60's jazz, outlaw country blues, to current day house music. It's hard to pick a favorite part of this almost two hour episode, but I'm thinking Luther Vandross singing live takes the cake. Of course, my personal bias with the Jai Paul Coachella bit, but holy smokes Vandross. The Gap Band was on fire, Sade slowed and throwed come on now. Give me a break. I'm doing everything I can over here. Thank you for clicking on my lowly podcast, your favorite local internet disc jockey will be here next week with more game than an arcade.

In this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with the legendary vocalist Arnold McCuller, whose voice has graced stages and recordings alongside artists such as James Taylor and Phil Collins, among others. While we reflect on some of his most iconic musical moments, our conversation centers on his current mission as a recovery coach and interventionist, as well as his involvement with Harmonium. This powerful organization supports creatives in recovery.We talk about the unique pressures musicians face, how addiction weaves into the culture of performance, and the courage it takes to rebuild a life and career on new terms. I also share some of my own journey of sobriety — nearing one year — and Arnold offers wisdom on moving past shame, reclaiming creativity, and finding freedom through community.This is a conversation about music, resilience, and hope — one that every artist (and human) will find something in.Music from the Episode:Witness (Arnold McCuller)Chances Are (Arnold McCuller)Hard Times (Arnold McCuller)You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive (Arnold McCuller)Above the Rain (Arnold McCuller)To learn more about Arnold and his incredible work, please visit his website.

I oktober Sverigeaktuella Ledisi är mer än mezzosopranen med ett röstomfång på fyra oktaver, som rör sig fritt mellan soul, jazz och R&B. Hon är historieberättaren som på ett dussin album serverat låtar med hopp, svärta och en social underström. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Ledisi föddes in i musiken och myterna. Hennes farfar var rhythm and bluesartisten Johnny Ace (”Pledging my love”), som dog 25 år gammal juldagen 1954 efter att ha skjutit sig själv i huvudet. Det ansågs vara en olyckshändelse. Pappan Larry Saunders, eller Prophet of Soul, är känd för rare groove-favoriten ”On the real side”. Redan åtta år gammal uppträdde Ledisi med New Orleans symfoniorkester. Hon bar på känslan att om hon inte sjöng så gillade ingen henne.I timme två blir det ett tidsdokument från det tidiga 00-talet. Mats Nileskärs möte med Luther Vandross i en skivstudio i New York dagen innan Luther drabbades av en stroke som skulle innebära slutet på en av soulmusikens mest framgångsrika karriärer.Med sin stilfulla stämma och musikaliska intuition förfinade Vandross romantisk R&B (Kendrick Lamar och SZA använder hans utgåva av Marvin Gayes ”If this world were mine” i hiten ”Luther”). Sången lät som en blandning av Arethas gospeleld, Dionne Warwicks sofistikerade tonträffar och Diana Ross ömma längtan. Men det var en mans röst som strömmade från högtalarna och förförde lyssnaren. Ett avsnitt från den 21 september 2003.

In Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. — Romans 12:5 DeWitt is a beloved part of our church family. He was the first neighborhood kid to meet Rev. Tony Van Zanten, who served at Roseland before me. Seeing nowhere for young people to gather, Rev. Tony threw open the doors of the Roseland Community Center, inviting DeWitt and an entire generation to come in and play basketball and form a community, a family. Over the years, some of those young people moved away, graduated from college, or started businesses. Others died. DeWitt joined the military but returned and settled in next door. For the past 40 years he's been at Roseland nearly every day. He has cooked meals, hosted volunteer groups, played the congas in church, and participated in countless games of dominoes at the Drop-In Center. He has also sung in choirs and contributed to our vibrant community life. If you've been to Roseland Christian Ministries (RCM), you've probably met DeWitt. He's kind, fun-loving, and has a beautiful tenor voice (similar to that of Luther Vandross). I've learned that DeWitt's deepest longing is to be loved and belong—which all of us share. Some people find this in their immediate family or in their marriage. DeWitt found it in Christian community at RCM. I'm grateful that we can belong to God together in this place. Thanks be to God. Father God, thank you for the gift of belonging. In your love we find our true home. Help us to reflect the unity of Christ's body, where all are welcome. Amen.

In the Fifteenth episode There Is No Planet Earth Stories, I sit down with legendary DJ, producer, and remixer Justin Strauss for a wide-ranging conversation about his remarkable journey through music and nightlife culture.We explore Justin's early music experiences—from seeing The Beatles live to attending iconic shows at Electric Circus. He shares stories from his time as the frontman of the glam-punk band Milk n' Cookies, and his transition into DJing, including his first gig and influential residency at the legendary Mudd Club.Justin also reflects on his pivotal roles as resident DJ at iconic 80's NYC venues like Area, and The Ritz. Additionally,  our conversation explores the origins and evolution of his prolific remix and production career, which continues to inspire across generations.“Few DJs could adequately represent the last three decades of New York nightclub history - no less do so with such iconic credentials as Justin Strauss. Since he was 17, when his first band was signed to Island Records, Justin has had a career that reads like a Who's-Who of the music scene, spinning at nearly every dance club that you'd ever want to go to. Starting as DJ at New York's legendary Mudd Club, he spun his way through The Ritz, Limelight, Area, Tunnel, M.K., Life, Centro Fly and more, pioneering his own distinctive sound, and becoming one of the most sought-after remixers and producers not just in New York, but in the world. He has worked with the gamut of artists - Depeche Mode, Hot Chip, Sergio Mendez, Tina Turner, Jimmy Cliff, B-52s, Luther Vandross, 808 State, Malcolm McClaren, Skinny Puppy, Goldfrapp, LCD Soundsystem to name a few and on over 300 records!  Much of the new dance crowd that goes to hear Justin DJ today, doesn't necessarily know his history; they simply love his spinning because he always keeps them dancing and surprised, seamlessly mixing between choice classics, delectable rarities and innovative beats. For Justin, no genre or style is off-limits – he can and will mix anything, so long as he can keep the crowd enthralled. His self-proclaimed mission is “connecting the dots” between what might otherwise seem disparate musical periods and styles, while introducing exciting new sounds. He does so with infectious passion, subverting preconceptions about what's old and new, and inspiring young DJs with his masterful skill and ever-youthful spirit. But Justin Strauss doesn't stop there. As half of the production duos, Whatever/Whatever and A/JUS/TED, he continued to produce and mix records, working on remixes for the likes of Hot Chip, William Onyeabor,LCD Soundsystem, Blood Orange, Holy Ghost!, Franz Ferdinand, Beyonce. Working on new projects Extra Credit with Joe Goddard of Hot Chip & Marcus Marr, and with Max Pask under their Each Other moniker, whose debut E.P.'s were mixed by Soulwax and released on their Deewee label, with new releases coming soon. Touring the world Dj'ing at Panorama Bar in Berlin, Robert Johnson in Frankfurt, Zunkunft in Zurich to name a few.  In fact, he doesn't stop at all.”Support the show

Send us a textKendrick Lamar and SZA's "Luther" music video isn't just visual content—it's a sacred mirror reflecting the most challenging moments in our relationships. The power of this masterpiece lies not in what's said, but in what's felt; not in motion, but in stillness.The elevator scenes capture that excruciating moment when you're physically close to someone you love but emotionally worlds apart. Standing face-to-face in confined space becomes the perfect metaphor for relationships that feel simultaneously intimate and isolated. Kendrick's subtle expressions and SZA's deliberate walk down the hallway speak volumes about love's complexity without uttering a single word.What makes this visual experience revolutionary is its portrayal of Black love through the lens of emotional maturity rather than drama. Director Karina Evans masterfully creates a space where vulnerability becomes strength and silence carries more weight than shouting ever could. The mid-scene introduction of Luther Vandross's original track transforms the narrative into a time portal where generations of emotional expression merge into one powerful moment.Beyond artistic brilliance, "Luther" offers profound lessons about relationship dynamics. The elevator represents how love rises, falls, and sometimes gets stuck between floors. SZA's act of knocking rather than barging in demonstrates the humility required to approach complicated love. The embrace she shares with her partner reminds us that bodies remember what words sometimes forget—that connection can exist even when language fails.After watching this video ten times, I realized I wasn't just analyzing art; I was processing my own relationship experiences, recognizing those moments when I've stood in emotional elevators, faced with the decision to press a button or remain suspended. Have you ever felt a connection so deep that words couldn't capture it? Share your thoughts and subscribe to continue exploring how music reflects our deepest emotional truths.Support the showhttps://chat.openai.com/g/g-8E47AuJfB-life-points-assistanthttps://FaceBook.com/Lifepointswithronda1https://youtube.com/@lifepointswithronda2968https://TikTok.com/@lifepointswithrondahttps://Instagram.com/@lifepointswithrondahttps://Patreon.com/@lifepointswithrondahttps://Lifepointswithronda.com

Welp, dudes are getting fillers now, but it's in a different area than women. They're getting their packages pumped up, and we have some questions for the fellas who are shelling out thousands of dollars for more girth, bigger scrotums, and larger resting packages. Susie talks about the Luther Vandross documentary and the tragedy of being famous for romance when your own love life isn't working out. We revisit a study on strippers that claims our menstrual cycles demonstrate a period of "heat" and our attractiveness to men. We hear about a man whose credit card was stolen and used to buy a winning lottery ticket, and his attempts to bargain with the thieves. Susie read a book about the Challenger space disaster, and how there was a 40 year cover-up that kept us all in the dark about the fate of the astronauts on board. We discuss the strange disappearance of Hannah Kobayashi who went missing after sending strange messages and a missed flight, created a nationwide manhunt, resulted in the death of her family member, and ended with the weirdest possible outcome. Plus, we learn whether therapists are judging your appearance and clothing, and why some people are buying clothes to impress them.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
