Keeping Your Name Clean in the Internet Era

Surprise guest Glasses Malone falls through, and discuss shifting podcast formats toward limited series and more story-driven content. They critique today’s culture as manufactured, driven by false narratives and social-media follower “disconnect,” arguing microphones and screens reduce accountability and push people to perform rather than be themselves. Norm recounts arriving broke to Long Beach in 1990 via Greyhound, the shock of gang politics around Long Beach City College football, early hustling on Anaheim and Ohio, and learning neighborhood rules. They share memories of early Long Beach rap buz, honoring legacy artists like Ice-T and LL Cool J, supporting TDE’s long grind, the Power 106 era and Julio G, and a plan to build 3140 TV to better control narratives and restore hip-hop as a boutique cultural product, and asks the question...When did people become so plastic?

In this episode, I sit down with Bishop Lamont for a deep, unfiltered conversation about the reality of the music business and the forces operating behind the scenes. Bishop opens up about his experience being signed to Dr. Dre, the highs and lows of navigating an industry filled with politics, agendas, and fake relationships. We dive into how music and media are used to shape culture and influence the minds of the masses — from industry pressure to the idea of psychological programming and MK-Ultra. Bishop also breaks down his new album “Just Don’t Die”, his journey of staying authentic in a business that often rewards conformity, and why he continues to push forward despite the obstacles. This is a raw, thought-provoking discussion about art, power, influence, and survival in an industry built on illusion. 🔥 Get Bishop Lamont’s new album “Just Don’t Die” at: www.therevindicated.com
