When Fall Out Boy hit pause, Patrick Stump hit play on something entirely different. In today's episode, we dive into Truant Wave, the 2011 EP where he mixed hip-hop, R&B, funk, and electronic sounds into something nobody saw coming.We dive into the EP's collabs (Om'Mas Keith, Idris Elba??), the near-misses (Childish Gambino! Nicki Minaj!), and how this left-field project quietly shaped Fall Out Boy's future.This EP wasn't just a side quest, it was the blueprint for everything Fall Out Boy would evolve into later. Let's get into why Truant Wave mattered more than anyone realized + why it still slaps today.
Franchises, reboots, crossovers, live-action remakes, interpolations… Why does the entertainment industry keep churning out cultural products that are derivative of something that came before, like Nicki Minaj rapping over “Barbie Girl” at the end of the Barbie movie on an endless loop?According to Andrew DeWaard, a professor of media and popular culture at UC San Diego, it's because of Wall Street. In his brain-expanding new book, Derivative Media: How Wall Street Devours Culture, Andrew pulls back the curtain on how popular culture has become derivative in a deeper, more insidious way: it's private equity buying up entire song catalogs, activist hedge funds staging hostile takeovers of entertainment conglomerates, and the cultural industries getting consumed wholesale by the financial sector — actual derivatives trading included.That wave of financialization is having an increasingly palpable effect on what we see and hear when we open up apps like Spotify and Netflix — not just in terms of the kinds of works that get funded, but increasingly, in the character of the works themselves, leading Andrew to posit that “the stock exchange has become embedded within the media text.”Andrew joins us to talk about how finance-world strategies impact both the companies that fund the culture we consume and the labor of those who produce it — and how they result in an entertainment landscape that is increasingly inhospitable to taking big risks. And we get into how the logic of the derivative has become embedded in media products themselves, from Jay Z turning lyrical wordplay into a champagne empire, to the White Lotus casting K-pop star LISA.Want to continue the conversation?

Fighters, do you want to get crazy? Because this month marks 15 years of Christina Aguilera's "Bionic" era kicking off with the club banger 'Not Myself Tonight'. The Old Xtina of "Back To Basics" was gone and she's feeling brand new, embracing a futuristic and experimental electronic-pop chapter. 2010 was an epic year for our Caggie Aggie, not only was the new mum back stronger and sexier than ever with a new album but she's also making her film lead role debut with "Burlesque" (Has anybody looked up the air rights?) Joel and David pick things up in 2008 where Our Cagz was starting her new musical journey with the single for her Greatest Hits, 'Keeps Gettin Better'. From there begins the two-year voyage into "Bionic" with an eclectic, "crotch-stirringly exciting cast of collaborators" * that include Sia, Nicki Minaj, M.I.A., Peaches, Le Tigre, Ladytron, Santigold, Linda Perry, Tricky Stewart (Beyoncé, Mariah), Ester Dean (Rihanna), Polow Da Don (Ciara, Fergie), Claude Kelly (Kelly Clarkson, Jessie J) and more. From sex positive bangers like 'Woohoo' to strutting anthems like 'Prima Donna', 'Glam' and 'Vanity', through to left-field electronic-pop experiments ('Elastic Love', 'My Girls') and soaring ballads ('You Lost Me', 'Lift Me Up') - this album is definitely Caggie's most ambitious body of work. So let's get glam and hop in our electronic, supersonic rocket set for the year 2010 and make it pop-pop-pop! * = paraphrased from a Digital Spy review by Nick (Live Laugh) Levine Follow Right Back At Ya! https://www.instagram.com/rightbackpod/ https://twitter.com/rightbackpod https://www.facebook.com/rightbackpod Follow Joel https://www.instagram.com/dr_joelb/ https://twitter.com/DR_JoelB Follow David https://www.instagram.com/lovelimmy/ https://twitter.com/lovelimmy Email us rightbackpod@gmail.com
For many of us, 2015 feels like just a few years ago. But the reality is, we are now a full DECADE away from the midpoint of the 2010s. You know what that means: time for a potent hit of nostalgia, arguably more comforting than ever in these unprecedented times. Thankfully, 2015 was loaded with incredible music, including career-defining singles for more than one pop-music superstar, some strong debuts by new and fresh voices, and some totally unexpected bangers. So join us as we go back to a slightly simpler time as the Great Pop Culture Debate determines the Best Song of 2015. Songs discussed include: "Hello" by Adele; "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran; "All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor; "Bang Bang" by Jessie J., Ariana Grande, and Nicki Minaj; "Stay With Me" by Sam Smith; "Ex's & Oh's" by Elle King; "Uptown Funk" by Bruno Mars & Mark Ronson; "Shut Up and Dance" by Walk the Moon; "Chandelier" by SIA; "Delilah" by Florence + The Machine; "Blank Space" by Taylor Swift; "I'm Not the Only One" by Sam Smith; "Shake It Off" by Taylor Swift; "Bitch Better Have My Money" by Rihanna; "Love Me Like You Do" by Ellie Goulding; "I Can't Feel My Face" by The Weeknd.

The latest podcast episode offers an engaging blend of cultural commentary, nostalgia, and debates that tackle both movies and music. The hosts kick off the conversation with reflections on the cult classic Big Trouble in Little China. While one host felt a nostalgic connection, the other struggled to connect, admitting the film's fast-paced action might resonate more with those who experienced it during its prime. This leads to humorous discussions about cultural representation and characters' dynamics. The spotlight then shifts to Billboard's controversial “Top 25 Female Rappers of All Time.” While heavy hitters like Nicki Minaj, Missy Elliott, and Lauryn Hill dominate the list, the hosts voice strong opinions about rankings, questioning placements like Lauryn Hill's top-three spot due to her limited rap catalog. They also highlight underappreciated talents like Shauna and critique the absence of certain deserving artists. A recurring theme explores how music resonates personally. The hosts candidly discuss how emotional connection shapes taste, particularly in how men engage with female rap. They emphasize the need for authenticity in music appreciation rather than societal performance.

On March 24, 2025, Daniel Hernandez, better known as Tekashi 6ix9ine, marked a significant milestone in his tumultuous career: he is officially off house arrest. The controversial Brooklyn rapper celebrated by cutting off his ankle monitor, a moment captured in a video snippet shared across social media platforms like X, where fans and detractors alike buzzed with anticipation. This development follows a rollercoaster of legal battles that have defined much of his public life since his 2018 arrest on federal racketeering and firearms charges tied to the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. After testifying against gang members in 2019, earning a reduced two-year sentence and the infamous “snitch” label, 6ix9ine was released early in April 2020 due to COVID-19 concerns, serving the remainder under home confinement. His latest stint on house arrest stemmed from probation violations in 2024—failed drug tests and unauthorized travel—resulting in a 45-day jail term, followed by 30 days of house incarceration, 30 days of home detention, and 30 days of home curfew, all completed by early 2025.Now free from the ankle monitor's constraints, 6ix9ine wasted no time signaling his return to music. Posts on X, including one from @JayyjaeOnHots23, show him previewing a new track, its bass-heavy beat and signature aggressive delivery hinting at a continuation of the sound that propelled hits like “Gummo” and “Fefe” to chart-topping status. The snippet, paired with visuals of him severing the monitor, underscores his flair for provocation—a trait that's kept him relevant despite years of legal and personal chaos. His last major release, “Blackballed” in 2024, featured collaborations with Kodak Black and others, but this upcoming drop promises a fresh chapter, unburdened by physical restrictions.6ix9ine's career has been a paradox: a meteoric rise fueled by rainbow hair, viral antics, and raw energy, juxtaposed against a backdrop of violence, betrayal, and incarceration. His 2018 debut album, “Dummy Boy,” hit number two on the Billboard 200 despite dropping days after his arrest, while 2020's “TattleTales,” recorded post-release, leaned into his polarizing persona. Critics often pan his substance-light lyrics, but his commercial pull—evidenced by “Trollz” with Nicki Minaj hitting number one—remains undeniable. This latest freedom comes after a March 13, 2025, raid on his Florida home, where feds seized guns and drugs, though he avoided new charges. Posts on X from outlets like @FulLCircLAfrica hailed the end of his house arrest as a “major celebration,” reflecting a fanbase eager for his next move.Musically, 6ix9ine's return could reignite his trap-punk hybrid, a style that's influenced a wave of SoundCloud-era rappers. The snippet suggests he's doubling down on bombast—think pounding 808s and shouted hooks—potentially targeting the rage-rap audience he helped shape. Yet, his offstage life looms large: feuds with peers like Lil Durk, legal woes in the Dominican Republic for battery and domestic violence, and a persona that thrives on controversy. As he teased on Instagram in 2020, “Picture the noise I'm gonna make when I'm outside,” this moment feels like that prophecy fulfilled. Whether this new music, expected soon, reclaims his throne as the “King of New York” or merely stokes more chaos, 6ix9ine's knack for staying in the spotlight—ankle monitor or not—ensures all eyes are on him.
