Something Wrong With The Podcast

Welcome back everyone! I don't waste anytime today and get right to the shocking news of Hot 97 canceling 'Ebro In The Morning'. This carries into a stat about the decline of rap representation at major festivals. Why aren't rappers getting booked during festival season? This past week has been a tragic one for many people including legendary Hollywood director/actor Rob Reiner and his wife. They were tragically k*lled in their own...

We're back after a busy week of big headlines. In a time where nobody can afford their groceries, large media conglomerates will continue to play monopoly. Netflix set out to buy Warner Bros Studios, but Paramount swiftly counter offered. I discuss the implications of this deal. We stay on Netflix, but discuss the Diddy documentary and the sad truth of his rise and fall. We end today on a viral twitter story. Akaash Singh from Flag...

I'm back and highly caffeinated on today's episode. Today's topics are music heavy, which had me really excited. I start by the latest in music AI Tech, Suno. I offer my opinion on why this isn't the direction the music industry should be heading towards. Then I offer my thoughts on the Grammy nominations. I give some predictions, as well as sharing some of the newer artists that earned their first nominations that I've been listen...

Today I’m joined by creative director Love, Kelly. As a music video director, he’s worked with major artists like U2, Trippie Redd, Lil Tjay, and more. In his hometown of Burlington, Vermont, he became a local legend for throwing rap shows that even Lil Uzi Vert pulled up to.

Beyond directing, Love, Kelly built his own fashion line, “Love, Kelly,” and has already produced three New York Fashion Week events, earning a feature...

Well it was a birthday week for the ages. As I was out celebrating with some friends I checked twitter and saw Rory fighting for his life on spaces. I begin today reacting to that entire situation. We transition from bad tweets to bad emails, as Trump and his blindly loyal crew continue to downplay the severity of the Epstein emails. I also discuss how Trump is continuing to auction America to the highest bidder. I'm back on my mov...

Welcome back everyone! Today we're joined yet again by Jordan from Complex. We roll into a conversation about Kanye's latest return to music. We get into a recent Verzuz x Complex partnership and who else we'd like to see involved. We talked about our "unc" status and settling into our 30's. We get into Zohran's win and the future of NY politics. We get into sports and the gambling scandal. Jordan then presents an ethical hypotheti...

Hey Everyone & happy Election Day, especially for my NY listeners. Listen to this on your way to the polls. We jump into the biggest Hip-Hop news story - is it over for rap? I breakdown the absurdity of this statement through the music history lesson. The Dodgers win one of the most thrilling World Series of all time and still, the world must use this as an opportunity to dunk on Drake. When is it enough? In more music news, th...

Welcome back for week 41 of SWWP! We have a lot of drama to address up front. I read a few comments from the last episode before getting into a topic I've become quite passionate about over the years, legal sports gambling. I give a fiery plea to end this nonsense and explain how it's a stain on the NBA and our culture. Staying on sports & more gambling, Drake was in Toronto for Game 1 of the World Series and celebrating his birthd...

Welcome back everyone! Before we get to today's topics, I take a bit of time to respond to another jab thrown my way. It's been a while, it's fun to regurgitate the same jokes! In more old news, Tyler The Creator is being targeted for tweets from over 15 years ago. Meanwhile, artifacts from hundreds of years ago have been stolen from the Louvre. Stateside, the $250 million construction on the White House has begun. This robbery rem...

From Madison Square Garden right to the podcast chair. I stepped out to watch my Knicks get embarrassed tonight, but did witness one of the greatest games of Tic-Tac-Toe. After brief Knicks talk, I dive into Drake's lawsuit being dismissed. What is next for The Boy? We'll see in the near future. In more music news, Diddy was hit with an underwhelming sentence. Yet another example of the rich/powerful having their way. It's been a w...

Move over Drake and Kendrick, it's time for the women to beef. Cardi B & Nicki Minaj reignite their ongoing feud and, as always, it gets personal. In white music beef, Taylor Swift takes a shot at Charli XCX. Yes, I listened to Taylor's new album. It was painful. Moving away from music, but staying in altercations, Mark Sanchez attacked an older man and has left political pundits unsure of how to speak on this gruesome incident. I ...

Welcome back everyone! Reporting late from NYC. I was outside tonight having a disco with Doja Cat for her new album, Vie. We stay on music with the biggest announcement of the week, Bad Bunny headlining the Super Bowl (the DEI bowl). I'm very happy to return to a music conversation this episode and of course, I do have to offer a perspective on a few social/political topics as well, but through the lens of optimism! Tune in as I d...

Do you feel exhausted and distracted? Are you starting to feel like that's the point?, well me too. This week's distraction is brought to you by the rendering of the UFC White House slated for next year. This is exactly the files the people want - no other files come to mind. The UFC-adjacent event, Charlie Kirk's funeral, poses as another opportunity for divisive rhetoric. I end on a lighter note sharing my experience this past we...

Reporting live from my parents’ home in Upstate New York, I kick things off on a celebratory note. My dad was recently inducted into yet another Hall of Fame for his accomplishments in Track & Field and Basketball. This one being especially meaningful to him. I’m joined by my mom for this late-night recording to discuss the political climate following the tragic killing of Charlie Kirk. With her perspective, shaped by growing up in...

Welcome back to another busy week in music and culture. Drake’s Iceman 3 stream didn’t quite hit the mark. I break down what worked, what didn’t, and how he can step it up next time. In Atlanta, Young Thug is working to get back in the good graces of the internet after more recordings surfaced. The VMAs came and went, while Justin Bieber gave us another surprise drop, SWAG 2.

On the sports side, the US Open wrapped up and we may be ...

We are back with tons of beef (pause). We start with Young Thug and the recent leaked testimony and phone calls. The future of Atlanta rap seems to be getting more fractured by the week. Then we pivot to some local drama. DJ Enuff is fired from Hot 97 and Funk Flex seems to be the reason for his sudden departure. I share my personal experience with ...

I started recording immediately after watching the Jussie Smollett Documentary. I begin with talking through the hypocrisy of both the Chicago Police Department and Jussie. Then I pivot to Drake's obsession with Tupac's jewelry after recently acquiring his 'Death Row' chain. I make time to talk about the movies I saw this week, 'Relay' and 'Honey, D...

"And we will live together. Until the 12th of never. Our voices will ring forever, as oneeeeee" There's a theme for today's episode and that is togetherness. This is top of mind because I saw the film 'Together' over the weekend. This segues into Offset's album rollout and a recent thought I had. I pontificate on the authenticity of Offset's therapy...

With my basketball and lifting days on pause (thanks, separated shoulder), I’ve been roaming the city streets and watching movies. Follow my cinematic spiral on Letterboxd (@invsblereviews). This episode, I dive into Eddington & Weapons. In music, I break down JID and Bryson Tiller’s new albums, reaffirm that Clipse still owns the summer, and crown ...
