Episode 96 starts off with the cast responding to their viral Dot Era/Drake clips on TikTok, as more people begin to realize that Kendrick Lamar's post-beef GNX album is now widely referred to as the Dot Era. From there, a major discussion unfolds about Global Hip-Hop & R&B Superstars who currently qualifies and whether this level of global dominance and title can continue in the future given today's musical landscape. For the purposes of this convo, a “Global Superstar” means someone with massive notoriety inside and outside of North America, consistent sales, sold-out arenas (or larger) across multiple continents, and true worldwide recognition to the average person. As “the Drake cast,” the crew also breaks down the recent dismissal of the defamation case vs UMG, shares their thoughts on Taylor Swift's record-breaking 4 million first-week sales for The Life of a Showgirl, and debates whether Doechii's drop in Spotify monthly listeners is odd or just normal side effects of music promotion. They also revisit Ticketmaster's CEO claiming ticket prices “aren't expensive enough,” then take a moment to pay respect to D'Angelo following his passing. The episode closes with a look at Timbaland's AI experiment (which dropped the same day as the D'Angelo news) and a wild conversation sparked by Cam Newton asking women to list their past flings.

On this episode of the MalloryBros. podcast, the Bros. start with a usual weekend recap. Terrance met our sister's new cat, and they both have thoughts on these new Wendy's Tenders. They then get into quite literally the most unhinged random debate about The Lion King you'll ever see, you should be thoroughly entertained. Next they talk the biggest news of the week: Drake losing his lawsuit with UMG over Kendrick Lamar's “Not Like Us.” The guys talk Drake's next move, Iceman, and if it was worth it. They then take a film turn, discussing "One Battle After Another" flopping at the box office despite rave reviews, what that means, and how it compares to Sinners. The Bros. move on to the new Game of Thrones spinoff and ask if they even care, touching on audience fatigue with short seasons and long waits between them. After a week where he seemed more passive about AI, Terrance gets tricked by an AI video and changes his tune. They then talk LeBron's Hennessy deal, and Terrell highlights the growing issue of too many Black millionaires selling us alcohol. A Lil Wayne conversation about changing his diet sparks a great talk about how people will hold you accountable to the patterns you create. They close out with football talk as Terrance's game is literally happening during the pod.

On today's episode I speak about being a menace at work again and convincing my co worker that our cleaning guy is a serial killer, and that she might be next. From there i get stopped and frisked for walking in my own neighborhood, but things have changed. I can no longer answer a question no and it raises more problems during stops. But now i have a new life and death experience to add to my list, and it involved pills and karaoke, but in a good way. JUST A FRIEND - BIZ MAKIEHITTIN - JESSIE REYEZ(00:00 - 31:04)On the movie review section we talk about film movies and other things and give the worse takes. This week i speak about “ THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL” and this movie was a good watch. This movie was basically Keanu Reeves playing Keanu Reeves but as an alien version. Also the way it went, is really accurate to me on what America would do in this situation. We would shoot the hell out of something before we figure out what's going on and set off an interstellar war. Either way rent would be due the next day.(31:05 - 39:49)I then jump into The Cool Report where we discuss Drake and Kendrick again, because the UMG lawsuit was thrown out, will he appeal yes, but this is another loss added to his jacket. At this point this is self sabotage, speaking of self sabotage the government wants to dump radioactive water into the Hudson. What will be the real world implications of this decisions, will we get 3 eyed fish soon. Double sushi if you ask me, let's see where this takes us. From there we take it to Florida where Florida be Floriding. Man steals from a seas and tries to cash in stolen scratchers very nonchalantly. (39:50 - 58:23)We then step into a segment where the listeners ask me 3 questions about myself or just randomness. A character wants to know how don't we fly off the earth everyday if we spin at 1040 miles per hour every day, this was a fully grown man asking as well. I don't know how to feel about it. Another character sent me a clip of a girl being upset of her birthday gift of 2000 dollars and wanted more, even threaten break up. But just like the Super Bowl next year, i ain't paling that ish jkjkjk. From there they do mention the Super Bowl half time performance and wants me to choose between Bad bunny or MAGA's. I'm leaning to the right, double entendre don't ask me how.(58:24 - 01:12:58)Then we have 2 fans ask us a questions for PTL where we get asked the tough questions where we place ourselves in their shoes. A lover wants to know as a new reformed woman, will going back to dating men with new intel be a better fit this go around. She basically stated she's tired of women and it was quite hilarious, because her other option was to factory reset. Another lover is asking for way too much, she wants her man to stop passing gas in the bedroom. Thats set up for failure if you ask me because i buck shots in any room, especially if i pay the bills.(01:12:59 - 01:25:04)THE FINThanks to everyone that shows us love and wish y'all the best on the journey called life.(01:25:05 - 01:27:19)please continue to like, share, comment and subscribe.PEACE OUT!!!!

Ep 124Drake's lawsuit against UMG over Kendrick Lamar's “Not Like Us” has officially been dismissed. In this episode, Cole Jackson breaks down Judge Vargas' 38-page opinion, how it frames rap beef as protected art, and what this means for the culture going forward.Timestamps:(0:00) Cold Open – Drake vs UMG dismissed(1:17) What the Dismissal Says(7:10) Drake's claim about bots and pay-for-play(10:24) The timeline reacts on X(16:17) Cole's Got Questions(18:38) Drake's Legacy/Outro
Welcome to this week's Blonde Intelligence, I am your host Ms. Roni and I always seek to give you exquisite cranial repertoire. The courtroom weighed a bar, not a brawl—and the ruling changed the temperature of the timeline. We dig into why the judge dismissed Drake's defamation suit by zooming in on the power of wording, context, and how hip‑hop frames accusation versus opinion. “I hear you like them young” isn't the same as “you do,” and that distinction matters when art collides with law. While the discourse flared, UMG cut through the noise with a simple stance: the case is over, the work continues, and if a hit lands, they'll promote it. That's the difference between public narratives about Ls and a label's reality of deliverables, contracts, and release cycles.From there, we clear up a persistent confusion: Cash Money's legacy stands on its own foundation—Juvenile, B.G., Hot Boys, Mannie Fresh, the 99–2000 era—long before Young Money reshaped the mainstream with Drake and Nicki. When fans fuse those histories during moments of drama, they miss the architecture that made the house sturdy. We talk optics, support, and why legacies don't hinge on who liked what post or who showed up where. We also explore smarter genre pivots, using the rap‑rock playbook that works—collaborations that translate sound instead of forcing it—so artists can evolve without abandoning the audience that built them.Along the way, we pause to acknowledge local wins and why real community moments outlast social chatter. And we get candid about platform accountability: when moderation can erase years of marketing in a click, creators need direct channels, clear appeals, and spaces they own—sites, newsletters, and word‑of‑mouth that can't be shadowed overnight. If you care about music law, label dynamics, Southern rap history, and the craft of crossing genres, you'll find sharp takes and practical context here.If this breakdown hit home, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves rap history and industry tea, and leave a quick review—your two minutes keeps these conversations alive and discoverable.#HipHopHistory #DrakeDefamation #MusicLaw #CashMoney #YoungMoney #HipHopCulture #RapRock #LabelDynamics #CommunityWins #MusicalEvolution #CulturalNarratives #PlatformAccountability #IndustryTea #SouthernRap #ArtVsLawSupport the show

Drake just lost his defamation case against Universal Music Group over Kendrick Lamar's “Not Like Us,” with a federal judge ruling the lyrics were protected opinion, not fact. Drake had claimed UMG wrongfully released and promoted the diss track, which accused him of being a pedophile — allegations he said were false and damaging. The court, however, determined that diss tracks aren't taken literally by the public, and UMG celebrated the dismissal, calling the lawsuit “an affront to artistic expression.” Hosts: Jason Beckerman & Derek Kaufman Learn more about your ad choices.

“There are 15 million ILEC subscribers across the U.S., often in the most hard-to-reach areas. We help them modernize while maintaining their TDM needs,” says Maximilien Le Sieur, CEO of TelcoBridges. At Navigate 25, Le Sieur spoke with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, about how TelcoBridges is partnering with Alianza and ILECs to ensure reliable, future-ready voice networks while keeping regulatory compliance intact. When Microsoft ended support for the UMG, MetaSwitch selected TelcoBridges as its integration partner, embedding the company's T-Media gateways into the MetaSwitch suite. With Alianza's acquisition of MetaSwitch, that collaboration has deepened—allowing ILECs to modernize networks while meeting NECA requirements and maintaining universal service funding. Le Sieur noted that TelcoBridges' T-Media line continues to provide rock-solid performance in the field, while the company works closely with Alianza to support ILECs facing UCaaS competition. “Service providers are excited about delivering great UCaaS services for their business customers,” he said. “We play a small role in making sure the infrastructure is up to date and ready.” Looking ahead, TelcoBridges is focused on expanding partnerships with Alianza, MetaSwitch, and rural carriers with legacy systems. “We're excited to support this ecosystem of service providers across the U.S.,” Le Sieur emphasized.

Het gaat nu wel heel snel. De vorige verkoopronde is nog maar nauwelijks afgerond, en het is alweer tijd om het belang verder af te bouwen. De Nederlandse staat heeft nu nog 30,5 procent van de aandelen ABN Amro in handen, maar wil dat de komende dagen gaan verlagen naar 20 procent. De overheid maakt daarmee wel gebruik van de stevig opgelopen beurskoers van de bank. Maar ondertussen zitten er nog altijd Europese banken om zich heen te kijken voor mogelijke overnamekandidaten. Valt ABN dan straks toch ten prooi aan een concurrent? Dat vertellen we je deze aflevering. Dan hebben we ook nog even de zomer in de bol. In Londen werd namelijk de eigen verwachting gepresenteerd van mogelijk de grootste beursgang op het Damrak dit jaar. Via de afsplitsing van de ijsjestak van Unilever verwelkomen we half november de Magnum Ice Cream Company. En beleggers worden alvast warm gemaakt met de belofte van dividend. Smelten ze daarbij weg van vreugde? Of wordt die beursgang een ijskoude douche voor Unilever? In Amerika is er trouwens een Nederlands bedrijf dat de show steelt. Dat krijgt de onvoorwaardelijke liefde van beleggers na een miljardendeal. En midden in de aflevering krijgen we te horen wie de gelukkigen zijn. Vijf bedrijven uit de Midkap krijgen een promotie naar de AEX met de uitbreiding daarvan. Dus we nemen alvast heel kort door wie van de vijf de beste toevoeging is.
