SWWP #67 (LIVE) - J Cole Tour, Bill Splitting, WNBA Political Circus
6d ago00:44:34Summary readyWelcome back to another fun one! I kick things off with my experience at a couple of J. Cole’s NYC shows and share a conversation I had with Cole himself. If you haven’t seen The Fall-Off Tour yet, I highly recommend grabbing a ticket. Then we get into the mess. First up: the Queen Naija dinner bill fiasco. She was out to dinner with two other couples when an argument broke out over who should pay. Of course, the entire thing ended up playing out on livestream.And just when you thought the mess couldn’t get messier, we get into the WNBA. With former NBA players now declaring for the WNBA Draft, the conversation has quickly become about much more than basketball. The league finds itself at the center of a growing political divide.Tune in as I discuss all of these topics + more!

SWWP #64 - USA Eliminated, Hip-Hop Art Curation, & AI Data Centers
Jul 700:35:15Summary readyWe finally made it through the heatwave, but Team USA couldn't make it through the Round of 16. I'm recording this immediately after the U.S.'s 4-1 loss to Belgium, breaking down what went wrong, what this tournament revealed about American soccer, and why the sport still struggles to compete with the nation's four major sports.From there, I shift to hip-hop and unpack Lil Wayne's disappointing tour before diving into a bigger conversation sparked by Jay-Z's latest exhibit. Why aren't more artists creating institutions that preserve and celebrate hip-hop culture? We need more spaces dedicated to its history. Finally, I dive into my latest obsession (and frustration): AI data centers. They are popping up in communities everywhere, even though almost nobody wants them nearby. Why are they expanding so rapidly and what can everyday people actually do about it?Tune in as I discuss all of this + more!Socials Channels: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/somethingwrongwithpod/Twitter - https://x.com/swwpodcast_https://linktr.ee/savewithjulianTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@juliannicholas11

SWWP #63 - Untold J. Cole Story
Jun 2300:29:54Summary readyHey Everyone,I'm happy to be back from NYC, home of the world champion New York Knicks. I was thrilled to return just in time for the parade this past Thursday and spent the entire day out in the streets celebrating.Over the weekend, I attended a PSG event where Bas and Ferg performed. During the event, Bas and Ib, J. Cole's manager, shared a great story about how their relationship with PSG first began. Luckily, I was recording and included the video in this episode.I also caught up with a friend who was in town for a gallery showing. Rhymelikedymez is an artist I interviewed years ago for Hot 97, and since then he's worked with artists and brands connected to Tyler, The Creator, Anderson .Paak, the Mac Miller Estate, and many more. It was great to reconnect and see his latest work.Of course, I couldn't leave out sports. I dive into some of the latest NBA trade rumors and discuss the growing excitement surrounding the World Cup!Socials Channels: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/somethingwrongwithpod/Twitter - https://x.com/swwpodcast_https://linktr.ee/savewithjulianTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@juliannicholas11

SWWP #61 - Jay-Z Roots Picnic Freestyle Reaction
Jun 200:32:49Summary readyReporting live from Mexico City, I'm back on my solo travel grind, soaking up culture and exploring the city. But even after leaving the country, I couldn't escape the shockwaves Jay-Z sent through hip-hop this past weekend at Roots Picnic.I break down the lyrics, subliminals, and disses throughout his performance, then dive into whether this moment is ultimately good for hip-hop and what it means in the context of J. Cole's decision to step away from the beef years ago.From there, I pivot to a couple of films I recently caught in theaters. If you're a cinephile, or even just a casual moviegoer, you've probably heard the buzz around 'Obsession' and 'Backrooms'. I give my thoughts on both and discuss why they're generating so much conversation.I also spend some time talking about my NBA Finals-bound Knicks. Tune in for all of this and more!Socials Channels: Instagram - / somethingwrongwithpod Twitter - https://x.com/swwpodcast_https://linktr.ee/savewithjulianTikTok - / juliannicholas11

SWWP #58 - ICEMAN & The End of Spontaneity
Apr 2800:33:23Summary readyWelcome back to a solo episode.Today, I return to music and break down Drake’s rollout for his upcoming album Iceman. I get into the strategy behind the campaign and what this moment means as he steps back into the spotlight as a solo artist for the first time in over two and a half years.From there, I offer predictions on the album and unpacking my frustrations with the increasingly toxic fan culture in rap.That conversation opens the door to a broader idea: the death of spontaneity and the disappearance of true “third spaces,” especially in cities. I explore how optionality has been replaced by “line culture” and where algorithms funnel everyone to the same places, aesthetics outweigh substance, and experiences are optimized for documentation rather than actually being lived.
