I Want All The Smoke

On This Episode:  The crew kicks things off talking about the next generation—how social media is shaping young people's ideas of independence, success, identity, and what it really means to "make it." Are we actually preparing the youth for real life, or are algorithms and influencers doing more raising than parents, mentors, and communities? From there, the smoke moves to hip hop and the never-ending debate over greatness. Do streams, sales, and chart numbers tell the whole story? Can numbers alone put Drake in conversations with icons like Michael Jackson? Or are cultural impact, influence, classic projects, longevity, and the moments you created more important than anything Spotify can count? Then the conversation gets much heavier. The panel examines disturbing cases involving Black people being found hanging from trees, the historical trauma those images carry, and why communities are often skeptical when suspicious deaths are quickly ruled suicides. They discuss the importance of asking questions, demanding transparency, independent investigations, and understanding why America's history of racial violence makes these cases impossible to view without context. The crew also gets into influencers traveling overseas and discovering that clout doesn't come with diplomatic immunity. Different countries have different laws, customs, and consequences—and sometimes learning that lesson for content can go terribly wrong. Plus, the evolution of hip hop, new music from Trey Pelly and Southside Izzy, deep cuts only real fans recognize, celebrity culture, personal stories, and the usual disrespectful amount of smoke. Numbers vs. impact. Clout vs. reality. Influence vs. greatness. Episode 229 asks one question in a hundred different ways: What actually makes somebody successful… and who gets to decide? This is I Want All The Smoke — the world's most dangerous podcast.

Then the conversation takes a hard left into music, sports, and legacy. The panel debates Prince vs. R. Kelly, the difference between talent and character, and whether an artist's personal controversies can ever erase their cultural impact. From there, we get into the never-ending GOAT debate, why comparing athletes across different eras is damn near impossible, and how records, competition, innovation, and context shape greatness. And when it comes to hip-hop, the question gets even deeper: Is legacy more important than longevity? We break down the importance of the legendary three-album run, the careers of 50 Cent and Tupac, strategic collaborations, industry pressure, fall-offs, comebacks, and the mysterious ingredient known as AURA—that intangible quality that can turn an artist into a legend long after the music stops. Heavy topics. Uncomfortable questions. No easy answers. And absolutely no shortage of smoke.

Is it the lyrics, the impact, the culture—or simply how it made you feel when it dropped? On Episode 226 of I Want All The Smoke, the crew goes deep into the legacy of Biggie Smalls, breaking down his lyrical genius, storytelling, subject matter, and undeniable influence on hip-hop. From Biggie to Nas, Wu-Tang, and beyond, the panel debates the albums that deserve a spot among the greatest of all time. But this conversation goes way beyond music. We get into the culture of Verzuz battles, authenticity in hip-hop, industry politics, celebrity drama, sports, questionable cultural trends, and the stories that only come out when the mics are hot. Expect controversial opinions, hilarious banter, unfiltered takes, and plenty of debate as the crew asks the questions nobody else wants to ask: What REALLY makes a hip-hop classic? Who deserves to be in the GOAT conversation? And which albums are getting way too much credit?
