  • Dr Umar On Candace Owens Death Threats + Deion & Shedeur Sanders + Target Boycott + FDMG SHUT DOWN
    2025/12/10

    Dr Umar Johnson sits with Loon to talk Candace Owens, Deion Sanders, Shedeur Sanders, the Target boycott, Trump’s DEI rollbacks, racist GoFundMe rules and the Times Square Black woman statue in Hour 3. In this clip, Umar breaks down why boycotting Target and running to Costco isn’t Black power if we don’t own anything, how DEI got gutted under Trump, and why directing Black dollars without Black ownership is just “rearranging the plantation.” He walks Loon through Rodney Hinton, Luigi Maloney and the viral white woman who made a million dollars off a racist rant—using those cases to show how GoFundMe will happily fund white violence while shutting down Black causes and even his own school campaign. Umar calls it “digital segregation” in real time, not a glitch in the system. From there they zoom in on symbolism: the casual, unemployed-looking Black woman statue in Times Square. Umar argues that in the richest business district in America, choosing that image to represent Black women—while Black women are the most educated demographic in the country—is not an accident, it’s messaging. They tie in Michael Jackson, Prince, Marvel and Black Panther, then slide into validation culture: white partners, PWIs, suburbs, Benzes and “being chosen” by white institutions as trophies for bruised Black egos. That same validation, Umar says, makes celebrities easy to buy and easy to use against their own people. Trump comes back into the convo as Umar explains how his era made open racism popular again and gave police and institutions a “Trump immunity” energy, while DEI programs quietly rolled back and barely helped Black folks even when they were funded. Later, Loon steers things to Deion Sanders and Shedeur Sanders: HBCUs, Colorado, the NFL draft and how a projected top-end quarterback ended up much lower than expected, costing tens of millions but still being used for clicks, ratings and jersey sales. Umar frames it as a lesson in power: “The league is bigger than any one family.” They wrap with Candace Owens—why Umar feels she’s ducking a real sit-down on a Black platform or at an HBCU, how interracial marriage and “snow bunny” politics fit into her brand, and why conservative sponsors might treat an honest debate with him as too risky for their image. This is executive-level conversation: history, money, sport, media and psychology all in the same hour.

  • The REAL Reason "T-Pain EXPOSES DJ Khaled's Fake Brotherhood to Shannon Sharpe!" Loon Reacts
    2025/12/05

    T-Pain Exposes DJ Khaled “Brother” Game, Labels Want Spotify Raise, DEI Money Vanishes for Pods In this solo episode, Loon breaks down why T-Pain’s “nobody is your brother” rant on Shannon Sharpe hit harder than people think, what it really means when DJ Khaled uses “brother” like a promo code, and how the family word gets weaponized to cloak bad business in music and media. From Ace Hood’s seven-figure exit from We The Best to labels quietly pushing Spotify to raise prices while keeping artist splits the same, Loon explains why music is still on a rookie contract, how Netflix vs cable exposed the new “add-on hustle,” and why AI plus streaming turned fans into secret investors. Then he pivots to podcasting: DEI checks drying up, black creators getting cut when the government paperwork changes, the Joe Budden universe, “sous-chefs” getting bravado off someone else’s work, and why pods like Need to Know and Bigger Picture struggled once DEI budgets disappeared. Loon lays out why he refuses pity-party money, how he’s retraining his audience to pay for value, and what it means for the future of It’s Up There Podcast. 00:00 – Intro, holidays & “fish sandwich vs fishing rod” 03:12 – T-Pain on Shannon Sharpe: “Nobody is your brother” 03:53 – DJ Khaled, the “brother” promo code & being used 08:13 – Weaponizing the family word in music & business 10:28 – Roc La Familia, mob names & fake “family” labels 12:35 – T-Pain’s legacy vs putting people on 15:05 – “If they make the sea, I make the sail” – Loon’s method 15:25 – Ace Hood vs DJ Khaled: 7-figure exit from We The Best 17:02 – Clip: Ace Hood explains the million-dollar number 20:43 – Connecting T-Pain, Ace Hood & Khaled’s sweet spot 22:11 – Labels push Spotify to raise prices 24:21 – Netflix vs cable: devaluing live TV & changing behavior 27:03 – Add-on hustle: subscriptions as the new cable 27:39 – Artists still hustling like it’s the 80s 29:34 – AI, labels & training models on artist voices 31:13 – Labels renegotiate subscriptions, not artist splits 33:45 – Streaming, secret shareholders & rookie contracts 35:11 – Knife vs pie: who controls splits in music 35:38 – Podcasting leaves its rookie deal 36:55 – Bigger Picture & Need to Know podcast cancellations 38:36 – Clip: DEI money stops and ads dry up 40:33 – Joe Budden universe & sous-chef bravado 43:19 – DEI, pity parties & token black shows 45:10 – Joe Budden, Flip, Surf & chemistry challenges 47:32 – Changing customer behavior vs artists standing still 49:56 – Dark time for pods & Loon’s long game 50:32 – Tease for the future of It’s Up There Podcast T-Pain said “nobody is your brother,” then brought up DJ Khaled by name. We unpacked that, Ace Hood’s 7-figure exit, labels pushing Spotify to raise prices without changing splits, AI training on artist voices, and how DEI money stopped and a lot of black pods folded when the checks dried up. Drop your thoughts: 1️⃣ Have you ever had the “brother/family” word used on you in business? 2️⃣ Should labels be able to raise prices on Spotify without changing artist splits? 3️⃣ Do you think DEI helped black creators, or just made us temporary line items?

This is the third hour of the same sit-down. After walking out and coming back, Charleston gets into the stuff the internet argues about but never really breaks down: relationships, status, fatherhood, street loyalty, internet character vs real life, and the cost of going viral the wrong way.

Tap in, drop your timestamp and let us know what part hit you the hardest. 0:00 – Hour 3 opens: “If you were Woody, would you forgive you?” 1:00 – Charleston riding to Woody’s hood alone and sleeping in the lions’ den 4:30 – Breaking down the viral HBCU moment and why he ran after the event 10:30 – Talking money: bookings, cancellations and the real cost of going viral 13:30 – Africans vs Black Americans and why he says they aren’t on the same page 16:00 – “Is it wrong for a married woman to have a baby?” hoes vs wives talk 24:30 – Tricking, paying, and who really sets the value in dating 25:50 – The hood girl, getting her pregnant, losing the baby and the “Tupac baby” bar 33:30 – NBA YoungBoy, NLE Choppa and how an artist can dim his own brand 40:00 – Rebranding, who sees him as a villain vs who sees the message 41:30 – HBCU fallout, losing over six figures in shows and speaking gigs 43:30 – New movies, TV opportunities and a major game show hosting look 46:00 – Character vs real person + the “R.

  • Charleston White CAME BACK SWINGING— 6ix9ine “Gangsta” Debate, Akademiks + Woody & Youngboy (DRAMA)
    2025/11/27
    Charleston White returns after walking out for a HEATED interview with Loon—clashing over Tekashi 6ix9ine being “gangsta,” calling out DJ Akademiks on NBA YoungBoy’s money, and answering for Lil Woody. Full description (SEO-optimized, no timestamps) Charleston White comes back after the walkout and the room catches fire. Loon forces specifics: Was Tekashi 6ix9ine really “gangsta” or was it performance? Charleston doubles down that 6ix9ine was active, and Loon demands receipts—where, when, who. They pivot to DJ Akademiks and whether his coverage helped or hurt NBA YoungBoy’s money—brand deals, touring energy, and how one post can tax a bag. Charleston speaks directly on Lil Woody and the “fear” talk, draws a line between being strategic and being scared, and says it on camera. The episode also hits the culture’s pressure points: Young Thug and rap lyrics in court (art vs evidence), Adin Ross access/security, police vs street codes, and whether labels/algorithms profit from pain (drill trauma from Chicago/Jacksonville to the timeline). This is not a clip farm—this is the full confrontation people said would never happen after the walkout. What you’ll hear (no spoilers): • 6ix9ine debate that nearly goes left (definition vs myth) • Ak’s role in YoungBoy coverage and money narratives • Lil Woody addressed directly: stance, fear, and consequences • Thug’s lyrics, prosecutors, and the line between art and confession • Police vs street integrity when cameras are off • Labels, clicks, and who actually profits when violence trends Join the community / support the show • Discord: https://discord.gg/3AwsHfDcJB • Patreon (early drops, longer audio, lives): https://patreon.com/ItsUpTherePodcast Listen everywhere (Black Effect / iHeart) – search It’s Up There Podcast.

  • "Future's Brother FBG Casino CAUGHT With 21KG Fentanyl + Industry EMERGENCY MEETING"
    2025/11/25

    Future’s brother Casino raided by FBI/DEA for 21 kilos and $380K—I break down the fentanyl pipeline, press-table math, cartel claims, DJ Akademiks vs NBA YoungBoy’s money, Adin Ross access, Young Thug lyrics in court. The FBI/DEA press conference on Freebandz Casino dropped heavy numbers—21 kilos, $380K in cash, pill presses, counting machines, LV-stamped pills—and the internet ran with it like every headline equals truth. I slow this down. What do the feds say for TV vs what the street math really is? Why do busts get timed near the “motherload” play? And how does that splash back on Future, his family, and ATL politics even when proximity gets read as participation? We track the fentanyl shift—how it replaced heroin, why “pure” claims get thrown around, and who benefits when a crisis becomes a market. Then we move from product talk to people talk: the ecosystem around a star. “Stop counting another man’s money.” Fame ≠ funds. There’s overhead, lawsuits, kids, payrolls, taxes, and a community that wants help without understanding cost. The goal is to feed your people without bleeding your brand—gifts, not allowances; build men, not dependents. On media power: I break down DJ Akademiks vs NBA YoungBoy’s bag. Did the coverage help or hurt in real dollars—deals, touring optics, brand risk? That’s not vibes; that’s receipts and risk. On access optics: the Adin Ross conversation isn’t just clout—its security, insurance, and venue politics. When a crowd gets pre-framed as dangerous, are we protecting the artist or creating the exact tension we fear? On the courts: we take Young Thug and the rap-lyrics-as-evidence debate. Where’s the line between art and confession when prosecutors cherry-pick bars for narrative power? Culture wants truth; the court wants convictions. On codes and survival: Internet culture rewards role-playing “street,” but real life has consequences. Police vs street codes isn’t a slogan—it’s a survival decision families live with when cameras are off. Finally, the machine: labels and algorithms that profit from pain—from drill headlines to trending tragedies. Who cashes out, and who pays the bill after the streams clear? This is not a clip farm. It’s a full executive breakdown of headlines, incentives, and the choices men have to make under pressure.

  • Why Loon STOPPED the Young Thug Conversation + Big Bank Interviews Woody + Akademiks Hating Again!
    2025/11/20

    DJ Akademiks, Young Thug, Big Bank, Woody, Charleston White, Adin Ross and Loon all collide in this It’s Up There Podcast episode about clout, integrity and Atlanta culture. DJ Akademiks, Young Thug, Big Bank, Woody, Charleston White, Adin Ross and Loon all collide in this It’s Up There Podcast episode about clout, integrity and Atlanta culture. In this solo breakdown, Loon explains how he and Big Bank were the two platforms Young Thug trusted, how Big Bank let Woody talk about Thug, and why Loon refused to let Charleston White speak on Thug in full character mode. Akademiks then used that contrast to pit Loon and Big Bank against each other, lie on Loon’s name, and keep up his pattern of wrecking rappers and misleading streamers like Adin Ross for content and clout. Loon walks you through the real context behind the viral clips, why he stopped the Thug conversation, and how today’s media profits from opposition takes, police energy and chaos instead of real understanding and loyalty. In this episode, Loon gets into: DJ Akademiks vs Loon vs Big Bank – how Ak used Big Bank’s viral interview with Woody to attack Loon for blocking Thug talk with Charleston White Young Thug’s trust – why Thug sat with Loon and Big Bank when things got dark, and what that means now that his name is being used for clicks Woody vs Charleston White – both don’t care for Thug, but one was allowed to talk and one wasn’t, and why that was a conscious choice Blocking Charleston’s Thug convo – character mode, open cases, the clip ecosystem and why Loon refused a cheap viral moment Akademiks ruining rappers around him – the pattern with rappers he stands next to, and why Loon calls him a wrecking ball Akademiks lying to Adin Ross – fake “industry pull,” promising access he doesn’t have, and dragging streamers into rap fires Clout vs integrity – why the culture rewards the mess and punishes boundaries, and what that costs long term Real ATL loyalty vs WiFi relationships – “you come together, you leave together,” and people who stand on you without being told Media infiltration & police energy – outsiders shaping narratives on the culture with no real codes Why Loon isn’t triggerable – executive-level conversations, staying calm, and still being willing to stand on business when disrespected This episode is about more than one clip. It’s about how the game is being played, who really stands for the culture, and why sometimes the most viral decision is not the right one.
