A host shares a tip about playing 24/7 classical music to keep pests out of a home using subsonic frequencies from large woofers. They recount a conversation with Scott Adams, who avoids pop music because he views it as subconsciously designed propaganda.

The release of Donald Trump's mugshot has triggered a "Blacklash" on social media platforms like TikTok, where many Black Americans are expressing solidarity with the former president. Commentators suggest that the image of Trump being processed by the criminal justice system in Atlanta has resonated with the ADOS (American Descendants of Slavery) community's own experiences with the legal system. This shift in perception is being viewed as a significant strategic miscalculation by the Department of Justice.

Spotify CEO Daniel Ek defended the platform's decision to keep Joe Rogan, noting that applying the same censorship standards to the entire catalog would require removing half of all music, including most hip-hop.

A critique of hip-hop culture highlights the tendency of celebrities to flaunt material wealth, such as luxury cars, which often masks underlying financial instability and impending bankruptcy.

The Guardian and other outlets criticized the Grammys for failing women and hip-hop despite a diverse field of nominees. In Northern California, KPIX reportedly replayed the entire broadcast immediately after the first airing, which the hosts suggest was a desperate move to recover from poor viewership.

The hosts discuss the linguistic phenomenon of "T-glottalization," where the "t" sound in the middle of words like "Putin" is dropped or replaced with a glottal stop. They note that Kellyanne Conway and various news anchors have adopted this pronunciation, which they find irritating. The trend is compared to similar shifts in British English and hip-hop culture, such as replacing "th" with "f."

The hosts review a clip of Rachel Dolezal discussing the evolution of racial slurs with Piers Morgan. Dolezal argues that the version of the word ending in "a" has become a non-racial term for any male within certain generations. A listener email criticizes Adam Curry for attempting to sound "mockingly hip" and revokes his "ghetto pass," leading to a discussion on cultural sensitivity and liberal reactions to language.

Al Sharpton has joined the Oscar boycott movement, using the analogy that Hollywood is like the Rocky Mountains: "the higher you get, the whiter." The hosts critique Stacey Dash for a non-sequitur regarding President Obama's funding and the lack of black movie roles, and they note the passing of early hip-hop pioneer Blowfly.

- **Time:** 52:00–54:13

A British study analyzing 17,000 songs from 1960 to 2010 concludes that hip hop has had a more profound impact on pop music chord patterns and instrumentation than the Beatles or the British Invasion. This finding is met with skepticism, alongside a critique of modern Billboard 100 music for lacking memorable hooks or melodies.

### Misogyny in Hip-Hop, Hillary Clinton Voter Base

- **Episode:** [621: Gun Extremists](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/621-gun-extremists.md)
- **Published:** 2014-05-30

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/621-gun-extremists/chapter/misogyny-in-hip-hop-hillary-clinton-voter-base.md

The political focus on misogyny following the Isla Vista shooting is contrasted with the pervasive misogynistic lyrics in popular hip-hop music consumed by young audiences. This discrepancy is cited as evidence that the current media outrage is politically motivated to support Hillary Clinton. Concurrently, media efforts appear to be marginalizing Elizabeth Warren to ensure a clear path for Clinton's nomination.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/613-carbon-overload/chapter/epa-hip-hop-caucus-and-climate-change-racialization.md

EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy released a video for the Hip Hop Caucus attempting to link climate change directly to the health of African-American communities. McCarthy claimed that black children are five times more likely to die from asthma and that "carbon overload" disproportionately burdens people of color. The hosts characterize this as a strategic attempt to use identity politics to build support for environmental regulations.

Florida Congressman Trey Radel was arrested for cocaine possession and subsequently claimed to be struggling with alcoholism. Radel, who branded himself a "hip-hop conservative" and cited Public Enemy as an influence, is compared to Toronto Mayor Rob Ford. The hosts mock his "180-day" potential sentence and the "blessing in disguise" narrative used by his supporters.
