TOPICS: Andrew Tate , Pimpin Ken ,Charleston White, Only Fans Vs The Game , Girlfriend Pimpin , In this explosive episode of It’s Up There Podcast, Pimpin’ Ken and Goldie face off on the evolution of modern pimp culture, from the streets to the digital age. The heated discussion begins with Pimpin’ Ken claiming credit for the masterclass model, asserting, “It’s all pimpin’” (00:02:02). As the conversation unfolds, Ken and Goldie spar over OnlyFans, debating its impact on traditional pimping and whether it’s changing the game or just another hustle (00:20:19). Loon steps into the debate, confronting Ken on “girlfriend pimpin” and asking the hard questions: “So you share her with the tricks?” This leads to candid reflections on loyalty, relationships, and the blurred lines between love and business (00:26:10). Pimpin’ Ken opens up about his personal life, including how his son navigates knowing his mother is part of the game (00:22:42). The conversation intensifies when Goldie and Pimpin’ Ken tackle the harsh realities of the lifestyle, noting how many pimps they know ended up in prison rather than wealthy. “Most pimps now are gang members,” Goldie notes, contrasting it with the no-contact rules of old-school pimping (00:49:06). They also discuss the societal backlash against the lifestyle, tracing how anti-pimping laws evolved into human trafficking legislation, shaped by political agendas (00:50:38). The debate takes a global turn as they bring Andrew Tate into the conversation. Ken and Goldie weigh in on Tate’s influence and whether his controversial take on relationships aligns with traditional pimp values (00:56:18). They also examine the psychological dynamics at play: “How do pimps really feel about the women who give them all their money?” (01:02:18). From heated arguments on love and loyalty to discussions about the economic realities of pimping, this episode is a raw, unfiltered look into a world most people only hear about in whispers. “The cookie has no value,” Ken argues, but Loon fires back: “Your life depends on it as a pimp.” Join Our Its Up There Podcast Clip Channel now https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEh6Wk40kcNcMJ4t_jtmluw Discord https://discord.gg/GJKXMWQS For all exclusive interviews & more content not here click here https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🚨Unreleased Interviews https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🦺All Merch Options teespring.com/its-up-there-podcast-merch 🎧LISTEN ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Jheeb8FxYVDRo8khyrz36?si=e339dD2JRte2MYX2Uon3BQ 👀 SUBSCRIBE HERE:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl_GorAVekpEVDlk1Yc8giw 👂 LISTEN ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-up-there-podcast/id1317524092?uo=4 👣FOLLOW ITS UP THERE PODCAST HOST : INSTAGRAM | fogfo_looney TIKTOK | https://www.tiktok.com/@fogfo_looney PATREON| https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast SUBSCRIBE TO Youtube Channel ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl_GorAVekpEVDlk1Yc8giw WATCH MORE ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwNIuOcAtoo&list=PLnwwxLxHiDWayq4HPgNYUtsAGvqe3liOO Introduction & Warm-Up 00:00:00 - Let’s Set the Stage: Ken, Goldie, and Loon break the ice 00:01:00 - Quick Bag Alert: Prize Picks shoutout sets the tone 00:01:55 - Straight to the Culture: Diving right into the game 00:02:34 - “It’s All Pimpin’”: Ken claims the masterclass crown 00:03:51 - Built for This Life: Who’s really about it? 00:04:30 - Respect the Hustle: Elevating the grind 00:05:10 - What’s Real Game?: Ken, Goldie, and Loon weigh in 00:07:20 - No Cap Hustle: The role of transparency in the game 00:08:21 - Blueprints Matter: Why having a game plan is crucial 00:09:34 - Game Recap: Unfiltered wisdom from the masters 00:20:19 - OnlyFans Clash: Ken, Goldie, and Loon debate the bag 00:22:42 - Girlfriend Pimpin’ Exposed: Loon brings the tough questions 00:26:10 - Love or Hustle?: Can you balance both worlds? 00:49:06 - Riches to Ruin: The harsh reality of the game 00:50:38 - Congress Enters the Chat: Laws and power moves against the culture 00:54:00 - Street to Screens: How Andrew Tate fits into the narrative 00:56:18 - Pimpin’ Politics: Breaking down societal shifts 01:02:18 - Stacking Paper: How hustlers really view earners 01:05:30 - Value Exchange: What’s given and what’s expected 01:09:20 - Legacy or Bust: Building something that lasts 01:12:00 - Responding to Charleston WhiteSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Loon keeps it real in this episode of It's Up There Podcast, breaking down the ongoing tension between Ralo and Boosie Badazz. What started as a simple comment from Ralo, stating he didn’t want to be rapping in his 40s and 50s, escalated into a heated beef when Boosie took offense. Boosie saw it as a sign of disrespect and accused Ralo of chasing clout, even bringing up snitching allegations that stemmed from Ralo’s time in prison. Ralo, who is serving an eight-year sentence for federal drug charges, has repeatedly denied cooperating with the police, but Boosie remains unmoved. Ralo’s plea for a conversation or even a public resolution has been ignored, as Boosie continues to distance himself from any association with someone he believes betrayed the streets. Loon explores the deeper dynamics behind this feud—why Boosie, a figure so tied to anti-snitching culture, refuses to give Ralo the conversation he's asking for, and how these accusations affect both their reputations in the hip-hop world. Beyond the personal beef, this episode examines how prison politics, loyalty, and authenticity are playing out in front of their fans and within the wider rap community. Is there a chance for reconciliation, or is this a rift too wide to mend?"See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Fallout with The Joe Budden Podcast & Starting New Rory and Mal #newrorynmal #joebudden #joebuddenpodcast In this revealing interview, Mal, a former co-host of the Joe Budden Podcast, opens up about the tensions and business disputes that led to his and Rory's departure from the show, despite their significant contributions to its success. Mal expresses disappointment and a sense of betrayal by his close friend Joe Budden, whom he believes let ego and unwillingness to share financial success fairly lead to their fallout. Despite having a "percentage agreement" contract, Mal and Rory felt underpaid and denied access to accounting details. "It's ego. But even in the midst of that, we weren't tripping because we had this contract in place...whatever money comes in, this is the percentage that I get. This is the percentage that he gets." Attempts to resolve issues through meetings and discussions about bringing in an accountant failed. The Final Moments Mal recounts the final moments: "For me, it was done there...Rory begged me to have a meeting...he agreed. He said, yeah, we're gonna get the accountant...Let's all go to our corners, and we're gonna get everything right, and then we'll come back and...reconvene." However, Joe brought in new co-hosts shortly after, which Mal saw as a "slap in the face." 0:00 - Introduction: Ownership, Branding, and Business in Podcasting 0:09 - Rory's Contract Breach and Firing 0:55 - Misconceptions and Legal Issues 1:09 - Maul's Character and Business Practices 1:34 - Address to Maul and Internal Issues 2:01 - Public Perception and Internal Struggles 2:31 - Contractual Realizations 3:04 - Salary Disputes and Transparency 3:22 - Network Began During Their Tenure 3:38 - Shoutout to Loon and Sponsorship 4:03 - Prize Picks Sponsorship 4:26 - Introduction of Mal as Guest 5:01 - New Rory and mal Tour and Success 5:46 - Business Side of Podcast and Branding 5:52 - Departure from the Joe Budden Podcast: Mal’s Side of the Story 7:24 - Creative Collaboration with Rory 8:09 - Unique Approach to Podcast Skits 9:16 -The Joe Budden Podcast Break Up 10:05 - Maul's Will to Help and Support 11:05 - Truth and Character Attacks 11:11 - Principles Over Money: Integrity in Relationships 12:26 - Financial Disputes and Lessons Learned 12:52 - Learning to Fish and Independence 13:27 - Joe Budden's Misplaced Leverage 16:10 - Clarifying the Past: Departure Based on Principles 16:16 - "Parks Know's" Mal says Parks is in to deep to disagree with Joe Budden 20:10 - The Business of Podcasting: Control and Branding 21:21 - What was Mal Contribution to The Joe Budden Podcast 21:56 - Joe Budden's Emotional Reactions To Employee Meeting 24:04 - The Rise and Fall of the Joe Budden Podcast 27:14 - Joe Budden's Misplaced Leverage 29:11 - No Ill Feelings, Just Truth: Financial Discrepancies 31:12 - Joe Budden's Discomfort with Money Splits he agreed to 31:30 - The Patreon Announcement Incident: Unplanned Moves 37:14 - Joe Budden Spotify Rants, Rewinding the Tapes: Understanding Past Episodes 40:51 - Network and Unpaid Work: Joe’s YouTube Channel 45:51 - Joe Budden Refused To Pay For Video For Podcast Payment: Monetized Content Issues 49:05 - Why Not Start Their Own Podcast While at JBP ?: Focus on Due Payments 52:40 - Why Mal Sided With Rory Instead On Joe Budden 55:17 - Ish Knows! -Lessons Learned: Business and Friendship Insights 59:53 - Future and Growth of the New Show: Mal and Rory’s Success 1:04:34 - The Nature of Friendship: Money’s Impact 1:07:20 - Joe Budden 's Current Show and Cast Members: Acknowledging History 1:11:03 - Importance of Real Friendship: Supporting Each Other 1:14:12 - Kanye West’s Recent Actions: Broader ImplicationsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cardi b & Bia Beef Explained . 2024 is clearly hip-hop’s year of beef. Ice Spice and Latto, Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion, Drake and Kendrick Lamar — this year has so far been full of friction among some of rap’s top performers, and there are no signs as yet that rappers as a collective will find any fraction of chill anytime soon.
