Jeff Chang, author of Can't Stop Won't Stop, joins the pod to reminisce about when hip hop moved from park jams to mainstream America in the 1980s. From "Rapper's Delight" to Run-DMC's crossover moment to Rakim changing the flow entirely and Public Enemy making it political, Jeff breaks down the turning points. We revisit the so-called golden era debate, why the 80s deserve more respect, and our nomintations for the best rappers of this time.

Hip-hop pioneer Eric B joins the Neil Haley Show to share the incredible story of how he and Rakim revolutionized rap music in the 1980s. From working at radio station WBLS in New York to assembling a compilation of talented MCs from across the Tri-State area, Eric explains how a chance meeting at a dance in Long Island led to one of hip-hop's most legendary partnerships. He recounts their groundbreaking deals, including being the first rap group to receive a million-dollar album advance and three million dollars for publishing, and shares the dramatic story of turning down Russell Simmons' advice to accept $400,000 from Island Records when MCA offered double at 2 a.m. in a New York nightclub. Eric also discusses their historic world tours, from taking the Concorde to play London and New York on the same day to performing in Helsinki, Finland, where young white audiences showed that music transcends all boundaries.Beyond his music career, Eric B reveals his diverse ventures into boxing management, working with champions like Floyd Mayweather and Riddick Bowe, and his time at All-American Communications learning television and film production. He emphasizes his business acumen, describing how he reads P&L statements "in his sleep" and contracts "for fun," which enabled him to set industry benchmarks that changed hip-hop forever. Eric announces the highly anticipated Eric B and Rakim reunion tour starting April 8th in Boston, describing it as a family celebration where they'll take their kids, friends, and fans who've always wanted to experience tour life. He reflects on the longevity of their legacy, the support from younger artists like Nas, and how he became the "bad guy" among his peers for demanding fair compensation, inadvertently raising the bar for all rappers entering the business.

“If you had to choose between Rakim, Greg Popovich, Elijah Wood, blueberry pancakes, or Danny DeVito's marriage… who would YOU crown as the greatest milestone ever to happen on this day?”That's the wonderfully absurd debate powering this laugh‑heavy episode of The Ben and Skin Show, as Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray broadcast from home and turn the Today Game into a full‑blown philosophical meltdown disguised as comedy.
In deze aflevering hoor je een verhaal dat zelden zo rauw en eerlijk wordt verteld: hoe een man zichzelf langzaam kwijtraakt in een destructieve relatie met een narcistische vrouw.. en hoe het lichaam uiteindelijk het woord overneemt. Darmklachten, paniek, zenuwpijn, misselijkheid zodra hij haar ziet. Niet omdat hij “zwak” is, maar omdat langdurige stress je zenuwstelsel programmeert op ‘gevaar'.We praten over narcistische dynamieken: gaslighting, het verdraaien van realiteit, grenzen die structureel worden genegeerd, en die cyclus van aantrekken–afstoten waardoor je verslaafd raakt aan de korte momenten van rust tussen de stormen. Ook komt “reactive abuse” voorbij: het moment waarop je zó lang getriggerd wordt dat je explodeert en vervolgens als dader wordt neergezet.En als er kinderen zijn, stopt het niet bij de scheiding. Dan wordt beeldvorming, manipulatie en de angst om je kinderen kwijt te raken onderdeel van een lange strijd met Jeugdzorg en juridische processen.Dit is geen haat-verhaal. Dit is een bewustzijnsverhaal. Over zelfrespect, grenzen, en de prijs van “blijven volhouden” wanneer je lichaam al lang heeft gezegd: weg.⏳ Hoofdstukken0:00 Intro4:40 Relatie met een narcistische vrouw8:45 Het begin van de relatie12:37 Problemen met een narcist16:07 Kwetsbaarheid bij mannen20:03 Gevolgen van een narcistische relatie23:10 Herhaling van familiepatronen26:11 Mannen als slachtoffer van misbruik29:50 Waarom je blijft in een destructieve relatie33:28 Het moment van vertrekken37:49 Hoe een sterke man misbruikt kan worden41:43 Mannen en het recht op hun kinderen47:10 Hoe het nu gaat49:19 Hoe je een goede partner kiest55:19 Nasleep van een destructieve relatie1:02:13 Hoe een narcist handelt1:09:00 Lessen uit deze ervaringHost: Sanae OrchiGast: Archilino Rakim Mouline

Episode 374: BUCKWILD "On Producing for Biggie, D.I.T.C., and Shaping the NY Sound" This week on @RoadPodcast, we sit down with legendary producer @buckwild_ditc as he traces his full arc as a producer, starting with how he met Goldfinger at (01:14) and how tracks like Rakim's “You Got Soul” at (05:10) pushed him toward beat making. The crew dives into the Roosevelt Room record convention at (13:10), where Pete Rock, Large Pro, Q Tip, Capri and others found the records that shaped classic hip hop, with Goldfinger adding his perspective at (23:45). They break down the core of the New York sound at (15:10), covering O.C.'s “Times Up” and the four to eight bar sample loop that defined 1994 and NYC. Buckwild speaks on digging for fresh textures at (25:01), the origins of Digging In The Crates, and how he used the “Seed of Love” sample before Just Blaze flipped it for Jay Z on “Public Service Announcement,” then explains how he met O.C. at (19:50). He runs through his top five productions at (39:00), breaks down why he insists on being in the studio during recording sessions at (22:01), and gets into the realities of clearing samples. The Biggie stories land at the center of the episode at (26:14). The conversation shifts into whether 2025 is a strong year for hip hop but a tough one for clubs at (32:51), why one-liners and real bars feel missing, and when the culture changed at (41:11) as labels downsized and the SoundCloud era took over. Buckwild reflects on chasing hits at (57:10), the story behind “Whoa!,” the beats Jay Z passed on, and what it meant to miss those records erupting in the club. The episode closes with thoughts on Saigon's album at (1:00:51) and why a DITC compilation would be difficult to assemble at (1:11:01).

The episode covers the incident in Atlanta on December 11, 2025, where a 34-year-old homeowner allegedly shot and wounded two teenagers he believed were stealing a package from his front porch. The victims, a 15-year-old and a second teen, were shot in the foot and arm, respectively. The homeowner later surrendered to police but now faces two counts of aggravated assault and one count of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Was this justified home defense, or a felonious violent attack? --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

From Rakim to Kendrick Lamar, this is the story of hip-hop's obsession with numbers. Dissect's Cole Cuchna breaks down the evolution of “number bars” - a lyrical tradition where rappers use math, numeric sequences, and wordplay to showcase technical skill and encode hidden meaning. Beginning with Rakim's groundbreaking verse on “My Melody” (1986) - a quatrain built around groups of seven that secretly mirrors his own 21-letter name - we trace how MCs have used numbers as both a mathematical signature and a symbolic device for decades. From Melle Mel's divine 7-count in “Superrappin” to Jay-Z's “22 Twos”, Biggie's “Ten Crack Commandments,” and Mos Def's “Mathematics,” numbers became an essential part of hip hop tradition and lyricism. By the 2000s, artists like Lupe Fiasco, J. Cole, JID, Vince Staples, and Kendrick Lamar transformed number schemes into complex storytelling tools. We unpack everything from Lupe's hidden 3–2–1 countdown on Kanye West's “Touch the Sky” to Kendrick's quantum-level equations on “Nosetalgia.” Learn more about your ad choices.

At blive mor kræver tilvænning, uanset om det er til ens første barn eller til en søskende til flokken. Og nogle gange forløber barslen sig også lidt anderledes, end hvad man havde forestillet sig inden. Det taler vi om i denne panelsnak, hvor vi har besøg af tre kvinder, der er mødre til henholdsvis et, to og tre børn. Vi taler om den ensomhed, der kan følge med barselslivet, om at skrue ned for de obligatoriske barselsaktiviteter, og om at vide, hvad man går ind til, når man har været på barsel før. Vi kommer også omkring hverdagslogistik, om at prioritere alenetid med ens store børn, om at genoptræne og nære sin efterfødselskrop, og om erfaringer med at tage på familierejse under barslen. Panelet består af: Charlotte Riewerts Eriksen, mor til Augusta på 7 år, Luie 4 år og Olivier 1 år. Caroline Plummer, mor til Douglas på 3 år og Ray på 5 måneder. Shila Pourdeylami, mor til Rakim på 1 år.

Rashad kicks things off by reflecting on his early days as a DJ, his childhood nicknames, and the powerful influence his mother had on his musical journey (00:11). He shares his deep love for jazz and reveals how he flipped the same sample two different ways for Busta Rhymes' “Woo Hah” and its remix featuring @OlDirtyBastardLegacy (08:55).

From crafting “Don't Sweat the Technique” to the murky politics of credit in the industry (58:10), Rashad opens up about why he calls himself “The Muted Drum” — a nod to his role as one of the most “unknown, known” producers in hip-hop (1:11:04).

This week on Dem Vinyl Boyz, we keep our Soundtrack Summer rolling by dropping the needle on one of the most iconic hip-hop soundtracks of the early ‘90s — the soundtrack to Ernest R. Dickerson’s cult-classic film Juice. Packed with raw energy and the sound of the streets, this album features a heavy lineup of hip-hop legends and rising stars of the era, including Teddy Riley, Eric B. & Rakim, Cypress Hill, Too $hort, Salt-N-Pepa, and Big Daddy Kane. It’s the soundtrack that perfectly matched the film’s gritty themes of friendship, power, and betrayal, while also showcasing the golden age of East Coast hip-hop. With standout tracks like “Know the Ledge” by Eric B. & Rakim, “Is It Good to You” by Teddy Riley, and “Shoot ’Em Up” by Cypress Hill, this soundtrack didn’t just complement the film — it stood on its own as an essential hip-hop record of the early ’90s. Join Dem Vinyl Boyz as we break down the music, the cultural impact of Juice, and how this soundtrack became a time capsule of the sound that shaped a generation of hip-hop fans.
