In this episode, I open up about the future of the podcast. I’ve made the decision to wrap it up after 5 more episodes. I truly appreciate every single listener who’s rocked with me—your support has meant everything. But with viewership dropping and the way these platforms are set up—always favoring new shows over existing ones—it's been a constant uphill battle.

I take full accountability too. I didn’t market like I could’ve. ...

I start this episode with a personal update on the tragic passing of my coworker Jen Nguyen, who died by suicide. I share how it’s affected me and why this hit hard.

Then we get into Diddy, who was reportedly offered a plea deal. I explain why I think he should take it—even though I believe the case is weak and full of BS. I compare it to R. Kelly’s flimsy federal trial, and how Diddy already lost the people because his swinging lif...

In this episode, I'm diving into the recent drama surrounding Jess Hilarious, the co-host of The Breakfast Club. After returning from maternity leave, Jess went live on Instagram on March 18, 2025, to air out her frustrations with her co-hosts, Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy, accusing them of not defending her against online criticism and of not offering enough support regarding changes on the show. Jess also expressed her sh...

In this episode, we start with a rave review of James by Percival Everett. This novel, a brilliant reimagining of Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from Jim's perspective, absolutely blew me away. It’s a five-star read in my book, and I believe more people should pick it up.

We then briefly touch on the movie American Fiction, which is based on Everett's 2001 novel Erasure. The film adaptation dives into the...

in this episode, we kick things off with an honest review of Drake and PartyNextDoor’s new album, Some Sexy Songs 4 U. I break down why I think it’ll hit number 1 next week, but still land a solid 6/10—good, but not quite as groundbreaking as it could’ve been. I compare it to the GNX rating and discuss how Kendrick Lamar did more with fewer tracks, even though this album still has its moments.

We then shift to the political scene, d...

In this episode, I dive into the Super Bowl aftermath, celebrating the Eagles’ big win and sharing my thoughts on Kendrick Lamar’s halftime performance. While Kendrick’s fans found it deep and meaningful, I felt the show missed the mark for a Super Bowl performance—lacking the entertainment factor and not featuring his biggest hits. Instead, he made it more about Drake than his own legacy, and the vibe just didn’t feel right for th...

In this episode, we pay our respects to the late Irv Gotti—a legendary producer, A&R, and record label executive—whose contributions to the music industry left a lasting impact. Shifting gears, we dive into Kendrick Lamar's big night at the Grammys, winning five awards, and reflect on the mixed feelings surrounding a beef song like "Not Like Us" taking home the honor. I get into the spectacle around the beef, que...

In this episode, I discuss the tragic collision between a Black Hawk and an American Airlines flight on January 29, 2025. While reflecting on this heartbreaking event, I address my disagreement with President Trump’s attempt to politicize the tragedy by linking it to the broader debate over Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).

I share my own experiences with DEI and explain why I believe it’s wrong to use the victims of such a di...

In this episode, I reflect on the past year — the wins, the losses, and everything that’s happened in between. I talk through the lessons learned from the highs and lows, and how they’ve shaped my journey.

I also take a moment to cover some key updates, including the latest on Jeff Maddrey, as well as the tragic terrorist attacks in both New Orleans and Tesla. In New Orleans, 15 innocent lives were lost in a devastating attack that ...

Merry Christmas! In this episode, I share a bit of my holiday spirit while diving into some heavy topics that have been on my mind. First, I talk about my fears and challenges surrounding the decision to apply for a PhD program, and how it feels to step into an uncertain future.

From there, we jump into the tragic story of a woman who was set on fire aboard the F train in New York City. I discuss the shifting narrative around the ca...

In this episode, I reflect on the loss of my cousin Ephraim and my journey through grief, including the process of forgiving him for past differences. I then discuss the heartbreaking story of Hannah Kobayashi, who went missing and was later found in Tijuana, Mexico. Her actions caused immense pain for her family, culminating in her father’s tragic suicide. This raises the question: Are parents holding on to their children too tigh...

In this episode, I unpack Kendrick Lamar's GNX, an album that feels surprisingly safe and comfortable—perhaps too comfortable. Coming off the intense energy of the Drake beef and the hit Not Like Us, Kendrick’s GNX seems to take the easy route, opting for a simplified West Coast hip-hop sound instead of pushing boundaries as he’s known for. Was this a strategic move, or did Kendrick take the easy way out by relying on familiar...

In this episode, we dive deep into the aftermath of the recent election and the shifting dynamics within the Democratic Party. We explore how Democrats are turning on each other, revealing the lies and bamboozles they were fed by the media. I discuss how Kamala Harris’s campaign used celebrity endorsements and media figures to push her narrative—spending money on influential figures rather than addressing real issues.

We also talk a...

In this episode, I share updates on why my recent content has focused solely on the upcoming elections, just 3 days away, and the importance of staying informed. I discuss the trend of artists going independent and their frustrations with record labels, as well as the changing landscape of the music industry. I explore my theory that music isn’t evolving as it once did, attributing it to a lack of competition and the diminishing dr...

In this final episode before the election, I provide a comprehensive update on the current media and political climate. I explore various aspects of the political landscape, diving into numerous side topics as we close out the election season.

These are my honest opinions and do not represent the brand "Gimmie the Loot."

Remember to VOTE—whether you’re casting a ballot for blue, red, Trump, or Harris! Your voice matters, so...
