Yeah, that's dangerous. You let him throw this shit on. Every day you got a barrage of bullets coming your way. This is crazy. Like, how they paying us for this? I can't make it up. Free money, they said. You printing this now? At this point, a foot washed up a shoe with some bones in it. They had no idea who it was. Most everything was burned up pretty good from the fire. That not a whole lot was salvageable. These are the coldest of cold cases. But everything is about to change. Every case that is a cold case that has DNA right now in a backlog will be identified in our lifetime. A small lab in Texas is cracking the code on DNA using new scientific tools. They're finding clues in evidence so tiny you might just miss it. He never thought he would was going to get caught. And I just looked at my computer screen, I was just like, ah, gotcha. On America's Crime Lab, we'll learn about victims and survivors and you'll meet the team behind the scenes at othram, the Houston lab that takes on the most hopeless cases to finally solve the unsolvable. Listen to America's Crime Lab on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. What would you do if one bad decision forced you to choose between a maximum security prison or the most brutal boot camp designed to be hell on earth? Unfortunately for Mark Lombardo, this was the choice he faced. He said, you are a number, a New York state number, and we own you. Shock incarceration, also known as boot camps, are short term, highly regimented correctional program that mimic military basic training. These programs aim to provide a shock of prison life, emphasizing strict discipline, physical training, hard labor and rehabilitation programs. Mark had one chance to complete this program and had no idea of the hell awaiting him the next six months. The first night was overwhelming and you don't know who's next to you and we didn't know what to expect from the morning. Nobody tells you anything. Listen to shock incarceration on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Dr. Joy Harden Bradford and in session 421 of Therapy for Black Girls, I sit down with Dr. Aya and Billy Shaka to explore how our hair connects to our identity, mental health and the ways we heal. Because I think hair is a complex language system, right, in terms of it can, can tell how old you are, your marital status, where you're from, your spiritual beliefs. But I think with social media there's like a hyper fixation and observation of our hair, right? That this is sometimes the first thing someone sees when we make a post or a reel. It's how our hair is styled. You talk about the important role hairstylists play in our communities, the pressure to always look put together and how breaking up with perfection can actually free us. Plus, if you're someone who gets anxious about flying, don't miss session 418 with Dr. Angela Neal Barnett, where we dive into managing flight anxiety. Listen to therapy for black Girls on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. We all know, right? Genius is evenly distributed. Opportunity is not. It's Black Business Month and black tech green money is tapping in. I'm Will Lucas, spotlighting black founders, investors and innovators. Building the future one idea at a time. Let's talk legacy tech and generational wealth. I don't think any person of any gender, race, ethnicity should alter who they are, especially on an intellectual level or a talent level, to make someone else feel comfortable just because they are the majority in this situation and they need employment. So for me, I'm always going to be honest in saying that we, we need to be unapologetically ourselves. If that makes me a vocal CEO and people consider that rocking the boat, so be it. To hear this and more on the power of black innovation and ownership, listen to black Tech green money from the Black Effect podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Who you wanna work with in the future. Cause now that kids been with your kids. But I'll tell you about this guy, man. This is a special going down crack. You can't blocking it. I ain't blocking.

I with that off your last album, that Dre was on the hook. Which one? The. The intro. Yeah, I called Dre after Laos. You lost your mind on this? That sound like some shit I'd be talking. See, that one was crazy. Only problem is though, because he does it to me all the time. You know, in 93 I had a record called Drugs is the Key to Success. Definitely. I was talking that drug shit in nine, three. You hear what I'm saying? Drugs is the key to success. Money is the key to sex. The life is getting more, getting, getting wet the games people play the names people slay it's just another ordinary day Once for the cash twos for Zebri Blunt's ass Streets for all the 40 crews corner crews devour force for the drug sex and power I be the top dollar scholar rock and go collars why you trying to sip the abuse I'm taking swallow Step in the zone and get blown My name, my name is internationally nothing.

Really build it. Cause you know it's niggas with big records that can't do a 500 room. Facts. That's a fact. So the way. The way I got to do it through west and through the Griselda shit really, like build that shit from the ground with the fans. They was in my dm. Them niggas late, man. Mad at you.

But for the most of my career, they taught me. I only did what they taught me. Yeah. So they would be like, yo, you walk in the studio 9, 10 o', clock, talk shit for two hours, start at 12. I did that my whole life. But now I'll go in the daytime. I need the day. That's how bus was. The. He's like, my voice changed at this certain 1:30. I sound like Lena Horn. I can't be that nice that night. Shit, you know, Busta Rhymes, he still live like what he's trying to describe to y'. All. He tried to. He still live like he's a 19 year old rapper for real. So he in the studio every day creating like he's 19 years old, hottest rapper in the game, going for the home run. This, this, that, every day of his life. That's what he do. And so his work ethic, I mean. I mean, he ain't gonna stop. How about that? Bus lines would never ever stop. I don't see it. But now. So when. When I talk about you and people act like they don't hear me, but they hear me. Yeah, they act like they're not listening, but they listening. They all start calling me and they say, well, you know, Stove, God was approached by maybe these are rumors. They like, you know, I think HOV and them approached them. Eminem, everybody tried to sign you at some point, but you on like a contract. That is like hard to. I mean, explain that to me, man. Game is disgusting. Say that again. Say that again. For the guys down the block. Game is disgusting. And you don't know. Just like everything else, you don't know until you know one thing. I'm not going. Like I said, you got. Don't miss your moment. I do this very well. I do some other shit very well. I'm not. If I ain't comfortable, we ain't going. So, yeah, I done got some calls from. I ain't never got the call straight from ho, but close to it. Yeah. Shady, Def Jam, everybody done reached out. They talking to right there. Right there. Oh, no, they talking. We just stuck. He's just under a situation where you know a volatile partner who. That's one of the wacky shit. Me and Jada always talk about that the politics of the rap game be like the wackiest shit in the game. And this industry I loved earlier you said, man, fuck this industry. Fuck. And it's so true, man. Cause when you coming up and you sign to a label and they start putting they 2 cents into shit. Who called me one time, this may be like 10 years ago. What's the guy named? Khalid. His name is Khalid. The singer. Oh, yeah. I went to a show, it was sold out, Madison Square. Gone one with my daughter. Next day, he sent me a song to get on. I got on it. He was honest enough to call me back and be like, yo, my label said you too old to be on the song with me. You know, I'm sorry about that. Just wanted you to hear it from me and this and that. And I was just that 10 years ago. So I'm looking at it. That's just how. Just your vibe up, you know, you always got something to say. I swear to God. Ten years ago, ten years ago, they was like, yo, they told him, yo, you young, you the new whatever. Who gives a fuck? It's just. I'm talking about the fuck shit that go on in the industry, in the industry rooms. So in the industry rooms, you know, they always play. I've been in so many industry, so many meetings where you got 12 guys. Somebody plays a song and everybody's like, yo, it's dope. And it's just one. Just one. One guy or one girl be like, ah, I don't know if. Then it turned into 4, 6, 10. So everybody like, bandwagon that person. Yeah, because listen, guys. Yeah, take this shit off, guys, right now. Because people watch this show to learn. Yeah, listen, guys, if God graces you with the opportunity to get a job where if your life is A R, if your life is videos, movies, whatever, or whatever, to change the world, to be in position. You know how many people I've seen in a position of power in this industry and never pulled the trigger once? This is the president of, let's say anything, Capitol Records, right? And the man don't sign nobody in three years or four years or make no moves. Like when you coming up in the game as an art, as an executive, right? You finally get in position and then you get gun shy. They get scared to make certain moves. You could be the hottest artist in the world and they scared to pull the trigger. Do me a favor. If you ever get to a place of that importance or excellence, what are you scared of? If you the A R and the girl's popping, make her land at her show in a pink helicopter. Blow the bag. Invest in yourself Blow the bag. Load a bag Invest in yourself. This early game for real, huh? It's the only game where they don't believe in you until you prove yourself. And then you supposed to do business with these same that didn't believe in me. Like, I don't get this. Yeah, I'd be like these. Then they get in the middle of your album and say, say it like this. Or use some. Did you. Did you see that producer? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you? They start with your. Like they're somebody. Like they always did something. Not even gonna get to that. Like they the culture. I'm just telling you, in the nor rap game, in the normal rap game, that's what they do. All of a sudden, somebody want to tell you, you know, we'll talk about something uncomfortable, right? Really uncomfortable. But for all the Kanye west was saying and all that, and I don't agree with hate or nothing like that. The one part I heard in his one rant that made him like, you know, he said, I'm making this company hundreds of million, billion dollars, and they got a guy that makes 60,000 a year trying to tell me what to do. So do so A and R. So y' all could understand how wild this sounds to y'. All. Some artist is getting 150,000 a show on the regular coming up in there, and you a $5 dude trying to tell me what the fuck to do. We not seeing life the same way. We not in the same lane. We don't look at life the same way. So how you going to tell me what beat us? Your mom on? What should I say? What should not say? And that's where that whole shit come. And then in our time. And I seen somebody say. Sometimes I really respect what he say, but he said that the A and R should be a superstar because they'll get. Bro, rappers are rappers. They're the superstars. They're the artists. You know, when you got dudes in the record company thinking that they got to be bigger than the artists, you know, like, probably pop more bottles than the artists and go up in there and act like they somebody and all that. Yo, bro, just get the dog job done. At the end of the day, the success, your success speaks for you. Your success speaks to you. The more successful you are, the more revenge you get, the more you know what I'm saying? And so people don't know how to not get in their own way. And they just got too much to. Too much to say. I guess that's what's going on. Man, I'm sad. Just made me sad. No, I'm keeping it real. You know, we all dealt with that game is all. With the gate. This is one of the most discouraging games. Yeah. No, that's a fact. You know what I mean? Because where we come from is the money ain't right. His hands and feet, you can't do that here. That makes you more steaming. Because now it's like somebody that I know in real life would never be able to do this to me is sitting behind this desk. You gotta telling me what the fuck to do. Well, I want to grab his throat, and I can't. And then. And then that causes some other shit, man. But it makes you strong. The game nasty, man. The game is filthy. Let me tell you something. I got a story for you. Another one. Nah, this is a big one. You don't want me to tell. Yeah. One. I'm just saying I'm dropping gems right now. That's what I'm here for. Yeah. This stove, God, 101. But I'm just telling you what happened to me. Yeah, right. So one day, I'm in my. Two, three lawyers ago, and I'm in the office. He used to. He used to be Pharrell's lawyer. He used to be Ludacris lawyer, the Woots. He was. Anybody who was big was with him. So I walk up in the lawyer's office, and they popping champagne, and Ludacris tells me, yo, I just signed this deal for, like, $2 million, because, believe it or not, I know you younger than us. There was a time ringtones didn't exist. So if your phone rang, it was just a ring. So they invented the ringtone. But the contracts in all of the record labels did not have that in the writing because it did not exist. Like, AI wasn't. Like, it was five years ago now. So in the contracts, they fucked up. They didn't have ownership of your ringtone. Ludacris understood that, as fucking smart as he is. I just seen him on a yacht, jogging on a treadmill. Him and Kevin Hart, Costa Rica somewhere. He's jogging on the butt. Kevin Hart, he on the treadmill, yacht. He tells me, yo, Joe, there's this thing. He breaks it down to me. Yo, Joe's a thing named Ringtones. I just got 2 million. This, this, that. Cool. I go to Atlantic Records. I'm gonna say the name. I go to Atlantic Records where I was signed, and I'm supposed to do press or some shit like that. So some girl comes down. She's the assistant to the president. Should I say his name or I could get sued. Oh, yeah. You don't have to say it. You said Atlantic. Just leave it at that. So the boss sends the assistant down and she says, yo, the man upstairs says, sign right here. I said, I'm not thinking nothing of it. I said, yo, tell a Mandy, you know, he know my lawyer. Just send it to him, no problem. They never ever in their life ever did any type of legal work with me and not go to the lawyer. Never in the history. But I don't know. I ain't thinking about it. So he comes back down. They come back down. He comes down. He got a thousand workers, so everybody's scared of their job. So he comes down and says, yo, Joe, you know, there's some shit that we need you to sign. There's a thing called ringtones and. And we own it and this and that. I said, my man, suck my dick. The whole office looked at me like, huh? Everybody was looking. I said, you can suck my dick. My Frankston. Yo, bro, the man. Listen, you just said right now. You started this whole story. You just said you were talking for the last three hours. I didn't say. You said, there's guys that will play behind the desk the games that they'll get hung for on the streets. Yeah, that's true. If they did this, they'd be dead. That's a fact. This guy just told me, hey, there's something called ringtones. Who I got love for ludicrous. I just got 2 million. They was popping champagne 20 minutes before I get in there. The dude trying to scam me into sign my rights away for something. I know this man just got 2 million. I got no choice but to tell him to suck my dick in front of his whole workers. Everybody get the up out of here before you get a foot up your ass out of here. The whole office is looking like. Oh, my God. Look like. Like the wild, wild west. Ready, sweat, they ready to snatch they wigs, hats. Every day, everybody. Right? But listen, he go up, then Leo Cohen comes down. Yeah. Who's the chairman of Warner Brothers? Yo, Joe, we feel like this is the right of the label. And this. He even told me some shit. And I ain't trying to throw you under the bus, Leo, because you know, I got too much love and respect for everything. You. You're actually not in this equation. But Leo says, yo, I met with all the. All the enemies. Republican, Democrat, Independent. We all met and we all agree that we own these ringtones. So we're going to do this to all the artists and change all the contracts. I Said, leo, I have so much respect for you, brother. Well, you know, I just left my lawyer's office, and Ludacris just did a $2 million deal. This what you asking me to do. You're, like, trying to scam me out of my rights, so. Well, if you don't sign it, you know, the bottom line, at the end of the day, I stuck them up for M's, and. And. And they made me sign a contract that said, don't tell no other artist. We gave you the money. But I was like, yo, I need M's. I need that. You not doing that to me. So they made me sign a paper, and I guess I couldn't get sued. I mean, I guess what I signed was the NDA or something 20 something years ago. They said, yo, Joe, I knew y' all stole my. Oh, no, they stole your. I think. I think all artists can go back in time after this gem. Yeah, stove God 101. And look up. Did they have the rights to your back Then you're gonna get one of them busts over the head. You go get one of the executives bust over the head for that. Cause I don't take that. You know, I play refrigerators and sinks and all. I play with kitchen. We got stove guard cooks here. I play with kitchen applian, microwaves and like that, man. Air fryers and all that. Off the roof, your air fryers make a mean chicken wing. Yo, yo, Air fryers make a mean. You would never believe. The air fryer makes some wings and better than the ghetto Chinese. I'm telling you. What would you do if one bad decision forced you to choose between a maximum security prison or the most brutal boot camp designed to be hell on earth? Unfortunately for Mark Lombardo, this was the choice he faced. He said, you are a number, a New York state number, and we own you. Shock incarceration, all also known as boot camps, are short term, highly regimented correctional programs that mimic military basic training. These programs aim to provide a shock of prison life, emphasizing strict discipline, physical training, hard labor, and rehabilitation programs. Mark had one chance to complete this program and had no idea of the hell awaiting him the next six months. The first night was overwhelming, and you don't know who's next to you, and we didn't know what to expect in the morning. Nobody tells you anything. Listen to shock incarceration on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A foot washed up, a shoe with some bones in it. They had no idea who it was. Most everything was burned up pretty good from the fire, that not a whole lot was salvageable. These are the coldest of cold cases. But everything is about to change. Every case that is a cold case that has DNA right now in a backlog will be identified in our lifetime. A small lab in Texas is cracking the code on DNA using new scientific tools. They're finding clues in evidence so tiny you might just miss it. He never thought he was going to get caught. And I just looked at my computer screen. I was just like, gotcha. On America's Crime Lab, we'll learn about victims and survivors, and you'll meet the team behind the scenes at othram, the Houston lab that takes on the most hopeless cases to finally solve the unsolvable.

I'm Dr. Joy Hardin Bradford, and in session 421 of Therapy for Black Girls, I sit down with Dr. Afia and Billy Shaka to explore how our hair connects to our identity, mental health, and the ways we heal. Because I think hair is a complex language system, right, in terms of it can tell how old you are, your marital status, where you're from, your spiritual belief. But I think with social media, there's like a hyper fixation and observation of our hair, right? That this is sometimes the first thing someone sees when we make a post or a reel is how our hair is styled. We talk about the important role hairstylists play in our community, the pressure to always look put together and how breaking up with perfection can actually free us. Plus, if you're someone who gets anxious about flying, don't miss session 418 with Dr. Angela Neal Barnett, where we dive into managing flight anxiety. Listen to Therapy for black Girls on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. We all know, right, genius is evenly distributed. Opportunity is not. It's Black Business Month, and black tech green money is tapping in. I'm Will Lucas, spotlighting black founders, investors and innovators building the future one idea at a time. Let's talk legacy tech and generational wealth. I don't think any person of any gender, race, ethnicity should alter who they are, especially on an intellectual level or a talent level, to make someone else feel comfortable just because they are the majority in this situation and they need employment. So for me, I'm always going to be honest in saying that we need to be unapologetically ourselves. If that makes me a vocal CEO and people consider that rocking the boat, so be it. To hear this and more on the power of black innovation and ownership, listen to black tech, green money from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts.
