Episode 99.4: “Stand For NOTHING”
On this episode of Homeroom University, we unpack the week’s hottest moments in podcast and media culture. We kick things off with a Dreamville Fest recap, including why Ludacris’s set felt mid and gimmicky. We highlight a few good watches like Vernon Maxwell’s powerful take on All The Smoke and Brilliant Idiots’ wild moped moment.
Then it gets serious—Ryan Clark folds under pressure during an Andrew Schulz interview, dodging real accountability on protecting Black women. We also talk about Math Hoffa’s eviction from the My Expert Opinion studio and rumors of No Jumper going broke and selling off assets. Plus, Poetik Flakko responds to the Olay & Friends podcast after their shots at Trap Lore Ross and the Kings of Hip Hop Media. And we end with thoughts on Netflix’s new offerings, including why Kill Tony flopped and how “Pop The Balloon” feels gentrified.
