What if the most mythical unreleased album in music history actually dropped? In this episode of Hip Hop What Ifs, D and 12 Kyle (from the 12 Kyle Podcast) take a deep dive into Dr. Dre's legendary, shelved project, Detox. Announced around 2002 as Dre's final concept album and magnum opus, Detox became rap's ultimate urban legend before officially being shelved in 2015 in favor of Compton. We break down the timeline, leaked tracks like "Kush" and "I Need a Doctor," and iconic beats that were repurposed for other megastars—including 50 Cent's "In Da Club" and Kendrick Lamar's "The Recipe". Plus, we discuss how Detox could have re-established West Coast dominance, the ripple effect on artists like Rakim, Eve, and Stat Quo, Dre's studio perfectionism, and a debate on Jay-Z's discography.

"You won't even be trying to laugh and it's like damn he got me." That quote perfectly captures the genius of Detroit comedy legend Foolish as he joins Detroit is Different for a conversation that is equal parts hilarious, historical, and deeply reflective. From memories of knowing Khary Frazier before Detroit is Different, when he was immersed in hip hop, to stories from BET Comic View, Foolish reminds us that laughter has always been one of Black Detroit's greatest survival tools. Quoting, "I always talk about my life through jokes," he reveals how comedy became his language for processing life, culture, and community. Together they celebrate hip hop icons like Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, E-40, Richie Rich, MC Breed, and The Lox while reflecting on how music sounds different as we grow because, as Foolish explains, "Everything you listen to as an adult becomes a chapter in your life that you didn't pay enough attention to." Filled with unforgettable backstage stories, reflections on Detroit audiences showing unmatched love to legendary performers, and memories of artists whose influence continues to shape culture, this episode reminds listeners that preserving these stories is how communities protect their legacy. The laughter, music, and memories shared here connect Detroit's past to its future, proving that culture lives through conversation, storytelling, and the people determined to keep those stories alive. Detroit is Different is a podcast hosted by Khary Frazier covering people adding to the culture of an American Classic city.

This edition of The Neil Haley Show opens with a special simulcast of Criminally Good with Sherrie and Jen, the Storehouse Media Group podcast, welcoming Matthew Cox, the former licensed mortgage broker turned nationally recognized expert on white collar crime. Cox built his criminal career around synthetic identities and the fraudulent acquisition of credit cards, personal loans and mortgages, landed on the Secret Service Most Wanted list, and served 13 years in federal prison. Today he hosts Inside True Crime, interviewing law enforcement, journalists and former criminals. Cox opened up about the writing career he started behind bars, the life rights he has optioned, and the persistent confusion around War Dogs, the film based on Guy Lawson's Rolling Stone article. Cox was incarcerated with Efraim Diveroli, the figure played by Jonah Hill, and ghostwrote and sold Diveroli's memoir, but had no hand in the movie. His own memoir, Shark in the Housing Pool, has been optioned several times across seven years without reaching production, and Cox explained why he refuses to build a life around waiting on Hollywood.The conversation turned into a candid masterclass on podcast growth. Cox has built Inside True Crime to 1.1 million YouTube subscribers in roughly six years, tracing the arc from filming himself on an iPhone, to one video a week, to a full in-studio operation producing three long-form episodes a week plus daily shorts. He explained why AdSense outperforms outside sponsors for a true crime show, and how shorts and reels drove his biggest surge. Neil pushed him on volume, recommending a more aggressive shorts schedule, and shared how NHL Wraparound is capturing summer hockey attention with former New York Rangers general manager Neil Smith. Cox also detailed going from begging guests to appear to fielding more submissions than he can book, and why storytelling ability matters more to him than the size of the crime.Cox was equally direct about the harder material, describing how he bristled at the first articles written about him before accepting that the con man label fit, and came to terms with how Dateline and American Greed portrayed him. Rewriting his memoir forced an honest accounting, and by his release he had decided to tell his story exactly as it happened regardless of how it made him look. Sherrie, drawing on 32 years in law enforcement, credited him for paying court-ordered restitution when most people in the federal system never bother, and for avoiding recidivism. Cox also discussed launching additional channels, including The Murder Man, which monetized in about nine days, and the painting career that kept him afloat after the halfway house. He still paints today.Neil then welcomed poet, recording artist and author MJ Bop, whose work blends storytelling, music and spoken word. Bop won a poetry award in second grade, earned an XXL Magazine Hip-Hop Quotable in 1999, released the single You Don't Hear Me, and performed throughout New York City before touring Switzerland and Japan. He cited Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, Kool G Rap, Slick Rick and Cam'ron as influences, and spoke movingly about the stroke and heart attack he suffered in 2023, which erased his memory of rhyming and forced him to relearn himself, deepening his faith and resetting his priorities. Bop discussed his book Bop Poetry, Writer of the Black Experience, drawn from the struggles, dreams and shackled hopes he sees in his own neighborhood, his clothing brand Writers Wear, created to make writing cool for young people, and his upcoming book Losing Myself to Find Myself.The program closes with The Mike Vilardi Show, where Neil and Mike Vilardi discussed the reported bounty on President Trump, the Ayatollah's funeral, the assumptions that shaped the recent conflict with Iran, and Vilardi's view that ideological fractures will split the Democratic Party.

Et avoir la classe comme Rakim ou Sade ! Notre première invitée est Anaïs Rosso qui sort l'EP Scandale au Paradis C'est en sillonnant les jams parisiennes qu'Anaïs Rosso développe son goût pour la scène et l'imprévu. Plus tard, elle installe son studio sur les hauteurs de Belleville, refuge suspendu au-dessus de la ville, où naît son premier EP Scandale au Paradis. Autodidacte, elle cherche, trouve, fabrique les notes qui prendront forme dans cet atelier peuplé de guitares, de claviers et de basses. Passionnément, elle y développe un univers intime, à la frontière du réel et du mythe où se déploie une pop alternative habitée, nourrie de blues, de chansons à textes et de rythmiques afro contemporaines. Entre Belleville et Kinshasa, le paradis grésille sur la grisaille. Kin la Belle, minable et sublime, devient le théâtre d'un appel qui reste sans réponse (Oyoki mon Appel ?). Héritière de mémoires coloniales dans un monde qui préfère les colombes silencieuses (Les Colombes), un corps qui ne danse pas comme il faudrait (Confidence), un amour trop intense pour être raisonnable (Asphyxie), une identité sexuelle qui fissure le paradis familial (Ovni), et des mondes intérieurs jugés irréels mais nécessaires pour survivre (Ziguay). Ici, le paradis n'est jamais neutre ni innocent. Il peut être blanc, familial, amoureux, normatif. Un espace qui promet paix, amour et ordre... à condition de ne pas déranger. Le scandale, ici, c'est le courage d'être soi, dans ces espaces supposés parfaits. Cet EP met le feu aux paradis factices. Non pour les détruire gratuitement, mais pour y faire entrer du réel, du trouble, du désir et de la vérité. Scandale au Paradis est le bruit d'une voix qui refuse d'être décorative. Titres interprétés au grand studio : - Les Colombes Live RFI - Confidence, extrait de l'album - Facing Roses Live RFI.  Son : Mathias Taylor. ► EP Scandale au Paradis (No Format 2026). Instagram - YouTube - Facebook  Concerts : 13 juillet Francos La Rochelle, 25 novembre La Maroquinerie/Paris.     Puis la #SessionLive reçoit Rocé pour son nouvel et 6ème album Palmier. Le génial vétéran français du hip-hop Rocé sort Palmier, son sixième album studio, avec des invités tels que Natacha Atlas, façonné par l'héritage de son père Adolfo Kaminsky, figure de la résistance anticolonialiste, et ses débuts aux côtés de DJ Mehdi. Rappeur, compositeur, violoniste, historien et conservateur de la mémoire musicale, Rocé mélange instruments de jazz, textures orchestrales et mélodies fluides dans Palmier, créant une œuvre où l'histoire, l'art et le rythme convergent à parts égales. Franco-russo-algérien, Youcef Kaminsky, alias Rocé, est l'une des voix les plus discrètes et les plus constantes du rap français depuis plus de deux décennies. C'est un auteur qui pèse chaque mot, dont le flow est réfléchi et précis, et dont le sens de l'histoire et de la justice a toujours façonné sa musique. Né en Algérie et élevé dans la banlieue parisienne (94), il a grandi à la croisée des cultures, ce qui a défini à la fois sa voix et sa vision du monde. « Palmier, c'est la mélancolie des combats inachevés, la persévérance et la promesse d'une aube ensoleillée », écrit Rocé à propos de l'album. Le titre évoque à la fois la résilience et le refuge ; un arbre enraciné dans la terre, tendu vers la lumière. Tout au long de l'album, le ton est réfléchi mais déterminé, sa voix toujours mesurée mais adoucie par la soul, le jazz et une chaleur lyrique qui parle davantage d'endurance que de colère. Le premier single, La Voie Lactée, avec Natacha Atlas et Samy Bishai, est un morceau atmosphérique et expansif qui oscille entre trip-hop et soul, évoquant les textures cinématographiques d'Isaac Hayes, Massive Attack ou Portishead. La voix d'Atlas flotte au-dessus des violons orchestrés de Bishai, tandis que Rocé livre ses vers avec une clarté à la fois terre-à-terre et céleste. Cette collaboration relève moins de la fusion que de l'alignement : des artistes se rencontrent sur un terrain commun, trouvant un ton émotionnel partagé qui transcende le langage. Rocé poursuit un fil conducteur qui traverse son œuvre : la musique comme vecteur de conscience historique, l'identité comme dialogue et le rap comme langage capable à la fois de tendresse et de critique.  Titres interprétés au grand studio : - Laissez les enfants courir Live RFI - La Voix Lactée Feat. Natacha Atlas & Samy Bishai - Lunaire Live RFI. Line Up : Rocé (voix), Dj Juicy Fruit (machines) et Nathalie Ahadji (saxophone).

What happens when a hip-hop duo strips away the party noise and changes the rules of rap forever?

Is President" by Eric B. & Rakim—the groundbreaking debut that introduced a revolutionary approach to lyricism and production.

Whether you're a lifelong hip-hop head, a music history buff, or simply fascinated by the evolution of language, this episode reveals why "Eric B.

In this episode, the studio is packed with incredible guests, including A&R executive M80, Australian hip-hop artist Dheezy, videographer West Lyfe, and Los Angeles rapper Kid Gotti.M80 kicks off the episode by breaking down his hands-on artist development strategy for Dheezy, revealing exclusive details about his upcoming 2025 debut album, "Tell Where You From?" M80 shares that the project will feature a massive lineup including an intro from Eminem, KXNG Crooked, Rakim, and a rare posthumous verse from D12's Proof. The conversation gets heated when M80 calls out producer Fredwreck over a twenty-thousand-dollar dispute regarding the rights to a Nate Dogg vocal track.Kid Gotti then dives into his own career, discussing his roots as an independent artist out of South Central LA and the unique pressure of having rap legend Kurupt as his uncle. The group trades crazy festival stories, with Tru recalling a terrifying moment at the Burning Trees Festival where their tour bus driver had a seizure after hitting a dab right before Busta Rhymes performed. Kid Gotti also highlights his international moves, detailing his recent commercial work for a Japanese cannabis company and a collaboration with Japanese hip-hop star Zeebra.Videographer West Lyfe joins the mix to talk about his intense work ethic, shooting over a hundred music videos a year. He shares an eerie story about filming Coolio's last music video for a track called "Mo Parking" exactly one year to the day before the rap icon passed away. This prompts Tru to share hilarious, untold stories of gambling and partying with Coolio in Las Vegas, including the time Coolio completely missed a ten-thousand-dollar hotel buyout show, only to later perform "Gangsta's Paradise" for just twenty-two dollars.Plus, the crew talks about Kendrick Lamar sweeping the Grammys and solidifying his victory over Drake with the ultimate diss track.

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. And then Pops pulls up and drops the origin story of how ET and CJ found each other — the moment that started all of this. If you've ever wondered what S2S looks like behind closed doors — this is it. In This Episode: The 80s hip-hop playlist that shaped who they became — LL Cool J, Eric B & Rakim, Babyface and more The first piece of game they ever ran (ET's Babyface line on Dede is legendary) Why ET stopped giving his time and expertise away for free — and why you should too The "selfish vs. self-focused" conversation that will change how you think about your time and money A special visit from the Cooking with the Cooks family Pops pulls up and tells the untold origin story of how ET and CJ connected Timestamps: Chapters 00:00:00 Opening: The Public Was Never Supposed to See This 00:03:39 Throwback Music Session: LL Cool J and the Golden Era of Hip-Hop 00:09:58 Baby Face and Early Game: The First Piece of Wisdom 00:15:00 The Football Team Get Naked Story: When Confidence Was King 00:17:18 The Michael Jordan Clip: Being Selfish Is How You Win 00:18:05 The Shift: How ET Stopped Giving Everything Away for Free 00:22:02 The Mastermind Testimony: When People Pay, They Apply 00:24:16 Valuing Your Time and Expertise: The CJ Partnership Model 00:32:59 The ETA Records Story: Giving What's Earned, Not What's Expected 00:37:35 Pops Enters the Building: The Man Who Started It All 00:41:04 The Origin Story: From Prison Visit to Twenty Years of Partnership 00:43:43 Closing: Behind the Scenes Access and What's Next Key Takeaways: The difference between being selfish and being self-focused — and why it matters for your money and your time Why giving your expertise away for free is a disservice to yourself and the people you're trying to help The unplanned moment that created one of the most influential mentoring relationships in the world What the S2S Patreon is really about — and why this content exists

In this special live episode — the first Once A DJ has taken out of the studio and in front of an audience — recorded earlier this year at Canopy Menswear in Derby, he tells the story of how B-boying and hip hop found him at exactly the right moment — and never really let go.He opens up about a difficult childhood, moving between families and a stint in boarding school, and how the battle culture of B-boying gave him a platform to express things he couldn't yet put into words. From erecting coat hangers around his bedroom window to pull in the Capital Rap Show on pirate radio, to catching second-hand American records in tiny Suffolk shops thanks to nearby US Air Force bases — Dan's path into the culture was shaped by scarcity, which made it all the more precious.He eventually made it to New York, where he spent around seven years immersed in the grassroots scene: practicing in the Bronx, attending block parties in Queens, linking with Spike from Zulu Nation, hanging with original writers like Stay High 149, and entering battles despite — by his own admission — being stiff as a plank when the nerves hit.Back in England, his illustration career took off through a series of portraits of hip hop icons drawn during his train commute — work that went around the world, got bootlegged onto mixtapes, and caught the attention of Rakim, Pete Rock, Paradise Gray from X Clan, the RZA and De La Soul among others.He rounds out the episode talking about his upcoming illustrated book Wonder Love, a love letter to Stevie Wonder's classic 70s albums, published by W.W.

“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.

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.

Drake vs. Ja Rule

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.
