Benzino Finally Addresses the Coi Leray Rift, Gets Emotional About Losing The Source Money & Eminem
Yesterday01:14:06Tap to summarizeBenzino finally addresses the Coi Leray fallout, the long Eminem war, and what really happened to The Source money as Loon keeps pressing the questions he’s spent years sidestepping. Main description Benzino sits down with Loon for a conversation that goes way past surface drama. Outside the room, people still know him for the Eminem war, the public fracture with Coi Leray, the Elliott Wilson/XXL fight, and the 1995 Source Awards documentary. But Loon keeps dragging the conversation back to the harder payoff: what happened to The Source money, whether ego and the Eminem battle compromised the magazine, and why Benzino sounds detached about losing millions while still sounding wounded on family. That’s what makes this episode work. Benzino explains how he saw Eminem as a race-and-power issue, not just a rap issue; says the Eminem fight did compromise The Source to some degree; opens up on the disappointment around Coi Leray; defends the 95 Source Awards as a turning point for the whole culture; and still insists XXL copied The Source instead of ever really beating it. This is Benzino answering for family pain, old wars, money lost, legacy protected, and a hip-hop empire he says people still don’t fully understand. This isn’t just “Benzino on Eminem again.” Loon presses him on the part people still care about: the Coi Leray fallout, the Source money, the ego, the Dave Mays trust, the 95 Source Awards, and whether one of hip-hop’s biggest media empires was lost because Benzino never really changed how he moved. 0:00 - Coi Leray and the Public Family Wound 4:37 - Does Benzino Still Hate Eminem? 9:18 - Why He Saw Eminem as a Race-and-Power Issue 14:06 - Did the Eminem War Compromise The Source? 18:52 - What Happened to The Source Money? 23:41 - Dave Mays, Trust and the $12 Million Internet Move 28:27 - Did Benzino Fumble an Empire? 33:11 - Hip Hop Weekly and the Second Act 38:02 - The Source vs XXL / Elliott Wilson 42:48 - The 95 Source Awards Documentary 47:39 - Suge, Snoop, OutKast and the Night Hip-Hop Changed 53:06 - Why Benzino Thinks Hip-Hop Fell Into the Wrong Hands 57:41 - What Loon Wouldn’t Let Him Duck Join Our Its Up There Podcast Clip Channel now https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEh6Wk40kcNcMJ4t_jtmluw Discord https://discord.gg/GJKXMWQS For all exclusive interviews & more content not here click here https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🚨Unreleased Interviews https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🦺All Merch Options teespring.com/its-up-there-podcast-merch 🎧LISTEN ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Jheeb8FxYVDRo8khyrz36?si=e339dD2JRte2MYX2Uon3BQ 👀 SUBSCRIBE HERE:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl_GorAVekpEVDlk1Yc8giw 👂 LISTEN ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-up-there-podcast/id1317524092?uo=4 👣FOLLOW ITS UP THERE PODCAST HOST : INSTAGRAM | fogfo_looney TIKTOK | https://www.tiktok.com/@fogfo_looney PATREON| https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast SUBSCRIBE TO Youtube Channel ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl_GorAVekpEVDlk1Yc8giw WATCH MORE ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwNIuOcAtoo&list=PLnwwxLxHiDWayq4HPgNYUtsAGvqe3liOOSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Transcribe →Loon Says Drake’s Iceman Rollout EXPOSES The TRICK Behind Future, Jay-Z & The Machine! S3 E2
6d ago00:51:27Tap to summarizeDrake’s Iceman rollout is bigger than music. Loon breaks down the label trick, Future’s dark feature issue, the 500K Jay-Z line, Kendrick battle residue, and the industry game behind it. Drake’s Iceman rollout is bigger than music — and Loon is breaking down the industry game hiding behind the headlines. On this solo episode of It’s Up There Podcast, Loon reacts to Drake dropping Iceman, Habibti, and Maid of Honour at the same time, but he does not treat it like a regular album review. This is a deeper conversation about power, label pressure, feature politics, media strategy, the Kendrick battle residue, and whether Drake’s biggest strength is being turned into a weakness. Loon gets into the hidden label trick behind Drake’s Iceman rollout, why flooding the market with three projects may have been a move to control the narrative, and how Drake used the moment to make the internet compare Drake to Drake instead of only comparing him to the Kendrick battle. Then Loon breaks down the darker issue with Future appearing on Iceman. Future and Drake reconnecting on music sounds major on the surface, but Loon questions what it means when Future was part of the original smoke, there has been no major public clearing of the air, and other names connected to Drake were left off the album. Is it reconciliation, strategy, club politics, or something more complicated? Loon also unpacks Drake’s viral 500K-over-dinner Jay-Z line and turns it into a bigger conversation about old game vs new strategy, tools over proximity, history vs direction, and why a man betting on himself should never offend greatness. This episode is about Drake, Iceman, Future, Jay-Z, Kendrick fallout, UMG pressure, media power, and the uncomfortable business politics around one of the biggest artists in the world. This is where culture gets decoded. Watch the full episode on It’s Up There Podcast. New episodes every Monday. Solo episodes with Loon every week.

He names names after the fight — Tank Davis business games, Floyd’s “0” effect, Turki taking over boxing, Adrien Broner’s warning, Devin Haney, Shakur Stevenson & the belt they took. Keyshawn Davis names names after the fight — Tank Davis business games, Floyd’s “0” effect, Turki taking over boxing, Adrien Broner’s warning, Devin Haney, Shakur Stevenson & the belt they took. This is not a regular boxing interview. Loon sits down with Keyshawn Davis for a loaded post-fight conversation on It’s Up There Podcast, and this one goes far beyond what happened in the ring. Keyshawn opens up about being stripped of his WBO title, paying for belts, sanctioning bodies, boxing politics, and the business games that fans rarely hear explained this clearly. Keyshawn also gets into the biggest names and debates in boxing right now — Gervonta “Tank” Davis, Devin Haney, Shakur Stevenson, Adrien Broner, Floyd Mayweather, Turki Alalshikh, Conor Benn, Nahir Albright, and the new money changing the sport. He talks about why some fights have to make “business sense,” how Floyd Mayweather’s undefeated “0” changed the mentality of fighters, why Adrien Broner’s career is a financial warning, and why Turki’s influence has shifted the power in boxing. Keyshawn also speaks on his comeback after being stripped, the pressure of being perfect, changing his team, rebuilding spiritually and mentally, fighting with his brothers on the same card, and why this next chapter is personal. Loon and Keyshawn also discuss Tank vs. Lamont Roach, Devin Haney after Ryan Garcia, Shakur being more than a boxing friend, Conor Benn at 147, influencer boxing, Adin Ross, Brand Risk, Chief Keef walkout dreams, Jay Prince, fighter money, and the future of boxing. This episode is about the fight game, the politics, the belts, the money, the fear of losing, and the young fighter willing to say what others won’t say out loud.

Transcribe →Rich Homie Quan Before His Death on Young Thug, Birdman & The Dark Cloud- It’s Up There Podcast (REWIND)
2w ago01:07:37Tap to summarizeRich Homie Quan sits down with Loon for one of his most honest conversations ever — Young Thug, Birdman, Rich Gang, the “dark cloud” over his career, and what fans never fully understood. In this full episode of It’s Up There Podcast, Rich Homie Quan opens up about the rise, the money, the music, and the moments that changed everything. Quan speaks on creating “Type of Way,” going from major show money to a painful industry slowdown, his legal battle with TIG, and how the business side of music affected his momentum. He also speaks honestly about Young Thug, missing the creative chemistry they had in the studio, the Rich Gang era with Birdman, and why he felt the business was not handled the way it should have been. This conversation hits different now as fans continue to revisit Quan’s life, legacy, relationship with Young Thug, and the questions surrounding what he was carrying behind the scenes. Loon and Quan also talk about YFN Lucci, Yo Gotti, Jeezy, Lil Baby, Drake, Vlad, DJ Akademiks, media, fame, women, money, ego, and why getting back on after success can be harder than getting on the first time.

Transcribe →Loon EXPOSES INSIDE INFO on POOH SHIESTY’S Lawyer & Why BOOSIE Finally Checked VLAD! (Full EP)
Apr 2701:22:44Tap to summarizeLoon breaks down Pooh Shiesty’s lawyer’s defense against Gucci Mane, the only way Gucci gets out of snitching allegations, and why Boosie says Vlad wasn’t 100 in their fallout. Loon takes two live rap stories and makes both of them sound a lot dirtier than the public version. On the Gucci Mane / Pooh Shiesty side, the public story is already major: Reuters and AP reported that Pooh Shiesty and others were charged in the Dallas kidnapping-and-robbery case tied to an alleged contract dispute involving Gucci Mane’s 1017 label, and AP reported a judge kept him in custody. But Loon pushes past the surface headline and frames the real twist around Pooh Shiesty’s lawyer, the defense angle against Gucci, and the only way Gucci could ever get out of the snitching conversation. Then the episode flips to Boosie and Vlad, but Loon does not treat it like a basic fee dispute. Publicly, Vlad says Boosie had been paid $25,000 and was asking for $35,000, while the online conversation keeps boiling it down to “$5,000 more.” Loon takes it much further and frames it as Vlad not being fully 100, Boosie standing with Vlad when other people backed away, and a fallout that feels bigger than money. That is what gives this solo weight. It is not just another Gucci / Pooh update and not just another Boosie / Vlad reaction. It is Loon using both stories to argue that the public headline is only the front door, while the real pressure, the real business and the real betrayal are somewhere else. The online chatter around Keyshia Ka’oir standing by Gucci adds another layer of curiosity to that side of the story, even if she is better used as thumbnail intrigue than as the main search engine in the title. This solo is built around two headline stories already moving online: the new defense angle around Pooh Shiesty’s lawyer and Gucci Mane, and the Boosie / Vlad split that Loon says is much uglier than a simple $5,000 dispute. #PoohShiesty #GucciMane #Boosie #Vlad #Loon #ItsUpTherePodcast #RapNews #hiphopcommentary 00:00 Gucci Mane, Pooh Shiesty & The Dallas 1017 Case 3:08 Pooh Shiesty’s Lawyer’s Defense Against Gucci Mane 7:42 The Only Way Gucci Mane Gets Out of Snitching 12:31 Why Gucci Mane’s Story Feels Different Now 17:54 Keyshia Ka’oir’s Role in the Gucci Mane Fallout 22:40 Access Ain’t Ownership in the 1017 Dispute 27:18 A Studio Key Ain’t the Deed 31:56 Business Dressed Like Family 38:44 Boosie vs Vlad: Why the 5K Story Was Never the Real Story 44:20 Why Loon Says Vlad Lied to Boosie 49:57 Why Vlad Needed Boosie More Than He Let On 55:36 Why Boosie Finally Rechecked Vlad 1:00:22 What Gucci Mane and Boosie’s Fallout Really Expose Join Our Its Up There Podcast Clip Channel now / @fogfo_looney Discord / discord For all exclusive interviews & more content not here click here / itsuptherepodcast 🚨Unreleased Interviews / itsuptherepodcast 🦺All Merch Options teespring.com/its-up-there-podcast-merch 🎧LISTEN ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Jheeb8... 👀 SUBSCRIBE HERE: / @itsuptherepodcast 👂 LISTEN ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Apr 2001:08:24Tap to summarizeOMB Peezy sits down with Loon for a heavy Part 2 conversation that hits the culture from every angle. He finally addresses the Honeykomb Brazy situation, explains what he really meant by “F The Streets,” and gives his honest take on why Young Thug and YFN Lucci squashing ISSUES was the right move.

This episode isn’t just gossip — it’s Peezy giving context from the inside. He breaks down how online energy can turn into real pressure, why some artists mishandle momentum, and how grown men choosing peace can be bigger than keeping old wars alive.

Loon EXPOSES the UGLY REASON Gucci Mane Dropped "CRASH DUMMY" & Why He Better Let Pooh Shiesty GO!
Apr 1301:26:18Tap to summarizeLoon breaks down Pooh Shiesty’s bond denial, why Gucci Mane better let Pooh out the contract, why “Crash Dummy” sounds more like a statement than a song, and why Gucci’s artist pipeline keeps ending in death, jail or blockage. Loon takes the Pooh Shiesty and Gucci Mane story past the obvious headline and into the part people are really going to react to: why Gucci Mane better let Pooh Shiesty go. In this solo, Loon argues the deal has turned into bad money, the energy around it has gone toxic, and the bigger mistake now would be holding on to something the universe is clearly trying to push out of Gucci’s life. He says the real issue is not just the contract — it’s whether Gucci is willing to swap legacy, peace and bigger opportunities just to keep control of a situation that has already gone too far. But the second headline in the episode is just as big: Loon does not treat “Crash Dummy” like a normal diss record. He says the song does not sound like it was made for musical enjoyment at all. He reads it like a statement, a behavior signal, and a narrative move that arrived right when the defense started publicly poking visible holes in the case. That is why this episode turns into more than “Pooh bond denied” or “Gucci dropped a song.” It becomes a conversation about why the record dropped now, what it is trying to do, and how the public can read it. And then Loon goes even deeper. He says Gucci can touch motion but not multiplication — that he can still attract talent, still create heat, still get artists in the door, but something keeps blocking the next level. In his framing, that is why the same outcomes keep showing up around Gucci’s artist story: death, jail, blockage, and unfinished multiplication. He ties that back to greed, old business games, and what happens when the universe starts charging interest on a way of moving that has gone unchecked too long. This solo is built around three real headlines: why Gucci Mane better let Pooh Shiesty go, why “Crash Dummy” feels more like a statement than a song, and why Gucci’s artist pipeline keeps ending in death, jail or blockage instead of multiplication.

Loon EXPOSES the UGLY Reason Gucci Mane WILL Testify on Pooh Shiesty & Why They Robbed Him FULL- Episode
Apr 601:21:51Tap to summarizeLoon explains why Gucci Mane will testify in the Pooh Shiesty and Big30 case, why Gucci was allegedly robbed, and why this 1017 fallout was already headed somewhere ugly. Main description Loon takes the Pooh Shiesty and Big30 story past the obvious headline and into the part people are really going to react to: why Gucci Mane will testify. Publicly, the case is already major. Federal prosecutors say the head of 1017 Records was allegedly forced at gunpoint to sign a release during a January 2026 Dallas studio meeting that was supposed to be about Pooh Shiesty’s contract, and Reuters and AP both report Big30 is among the charged defendants. But Loon’s real point is that this did not start in Dallas. He ties it back to Big Scarr, hurt that never got cleaned up, what he calls Gucci Mane’s poor relationship management, and the bigger mindset problem: fame and money didn’t change Pooh Shiesty’s instincts, so a boardroom problem still got handled like the block. That’s why this video is about more than charges — it’s about why it got that far in the first place. This solo is built around the real headline: Gucci Mane may now have to testify in the Pooh Shiesty and Big30 case. Loon says the forced release, Big Scarr fallout, 1017 hurt and bad relationship management all helped create that outcome — and that this was never just business. 0:00 - The Federal Case Against Pooh Shiesty and Big30 5:42 - Why Loon Says Gucci Mane WILL Testify 11:26 - The Alleged Release That Changed Everything 17:08 - Why They Robbed Gucci 22:41 - Big Scarr and the Old 1017 Wound 28:19 - The Funeral Fallout and What It Did to the Relationship 34:07 - Gucci Mane’s Relationship Management Problem 39:56 - A Boardroom Problem Handled Like the Block 45:38 - Why Loon Calls It a Fumble 51:14 - Why Hurt Men Go All the Way About Money 57:02 - Why 1017 Was Already Broken 1:03:21 - The Mindset Lesson for the Youngsters #guccimane #poohshiesty #big30 #BigScarr #1017 #Loon #ItsUpTherePodcast #RapNews #HipHopCommentary #GucciWillTestify Join Our Its Up There Podcast Clip Channel now https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEh6Wk40kcNcMJ4t_jtmluw Discord https://discord.gg/GJKXMWQS For all exclusive interviews & more content not here click here https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🚨Unreleased Interviews https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🦺All Merch Options teespring.com/its-up-there-podcast-merch 🎧LISTEN ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Jheeb8FxYVDRo8khyrz36?si=e339dD2JRte2MYX2Uon3BQ 👀 SUBSCRIBE HERE:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl_GorAVekpEVDlk1Yc8giw 👂 LISTEN ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-up-there-podcast/id1317524092?uo=4 👣FOLLOW ITS UP THERE PODCAST HOST : INSTAGRAM | fogfo_looney TIKTOK | https://www.tiktok.com/@fogfo_looney PATREON| https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast SUBSCRIBE TO Youtube Channel ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl_GorAVekpEVDlk1Yc8giw WATCH MORE ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwNIuOcAtoo&list=PLnwwxLxHiDWayq4HPgNYUtsAGvqe3liOOSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jay-Z GQ Interview MISTAKENLY EXPOSED How He Really Looks at Drake!! | FULL EPISODE
Mar 3101:09:41Tap to summarizeJay-Z’s GQ interview is already moving through the algorithm after he spoke on Kendrick Lamar, Drake, the Super Bowl, battle rap, and the culture — but this episode goes way deeper than one quote or one headline. In this episode of It’s Up There Podcast, Loon breaks down Jay-Z’s GQ interview from multiple angles: what it means when powerful men finally speak, why those conversations matter to hustlers and builders, how the culture gets shaped when information is held back, and why some parts of Jay’s framing on Drake, Kendrick, “Not Like Us,” and the Super Bowl hit different once you really listen to them. This episode also gets into Jay-Z’s bigger messaging around playing defense versus getting back on offense, how envy tries to “spit in your food,” why anger can poison your path, and what it means to stay focused while people try to disrupt how you eat. From there, Loon pushes into the cultural side of it: why interviews like this should do more than trend, why major figures should speak more directly to the hustlers, how silence creates room for charlatans, and why information about business, leverage, and mindset can change lives when it’s actually passed down instead of hidden behind status. And yes, the episode deals directly with the hottest part of the conversation too: Jay-Z’s comments on battling, Kendrick’s Super Bowl moment, “Not Like Us,” and the Drake angle. Loon separates Kendrick deserving the opportunity from the question of what was allowed to happen on that stage, and whether Jay-Z’s wording, tone, and framing revealed more than he intended about how he really views Drake. Topics include: Jay-Z’s GQ interview reaction, Kendrick Lamar and the Super Bowl, Drake and the “Not Like Us” conversation, battle rap and whether the culture still protects it, offense vs defense, anger and envy in the game, why major interviews matter to hustlers, hidden business game in public conversations, podcast deal tricks, and why silence at the top can leave the next generation developing in the dark. Watch the full episode and let me know in the comments whether Jay-Z really stayed neutral — or whether the GQ interview quietly told a different story. 0:00 Opening — Why This Jay-Z Interview Matters 2:30 Jay-Z Speaks on Kendrick Lamar & Super Bowl 7:15 “Not Like Us” & The Cultural Impact 13:40 Drake Mention — Where the Tone Shifts 20:10 Was Jay-Z Really Neutral? 27:45 Battle Rap, Culture & Main Stage Debate 35:20 Offense vs Defense — Jay-Z’s Message 43:10 Envy, Anger & Disruption in the Game 51:30 Why These Interviews Matter for Hustlers 1:00:00 Final Breakdown — What Was Really Said Join Our Its Up There Podcast Clip Channel now https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEh6Wk40kcNcMJ4t_jtmluw Discord https://discord.gg/GJKXMWQS For all exclusive interviews & more content not here click here https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🚨Unreleased Interviews https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🦺All Merch Options teespring.com/its-up-there-podcast-merch 🎧LISTEN ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Jheeb8FxYVDRo8khyrz36?si=e339dD2JRte2MYX2Uon3BQ 👀 SUBSCRIBE HERE:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl_GorAVekpEVDlk1Yc8giw 👂 LISTEN ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-up-there-podcast/id1317524092?uo=4 👣FOLLOW ITS UP THERE PODCAST HOST : INSTAGRAM | fogfo_looney TIKTOK | https://www.tiktok.com/@fogfo_looney PATREON| https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast SUBSCRIBE TO Youtube Channel ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl_GorAVekpEVDlk1Yc8giw WATCH MORE ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwNIuOcAtoo&list=PLnwwxLxHiDWayq4HPgNYUtsAGvqe3liOOSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
