Glasses Malone & Loon Debate The Adin Ross Situation & The Double Standard W/ No Jumper & Akademiks Its Up There Podcast (Full Interview)

Glasses Malone pulls up to It’s Up There Podcast with Big Loon for a sharp, direct conversation about media influence, cultural standards, and where lines in hip-hop media actually exist. The episode opens with a breakdown of DJ Akademiks vs Adin Ross, questioning why some platforms face heavy scrutiny while others move with far less resistance (00:01:25).

Loon presses the No Jumper / Adam22 angle and digs into where “content” stops being conversation and starts becoming something else entirely (00:02:10). From there, the discussion pivots to the Drake vs Kendrick fallout.

Loon and Glasses unpack the idea of Drake taking a legal route, Kendrick’s quiet weight in the culture, and what happens when rap conflicts move outside the booth and into real-world systems (00:03:12). They also address the UMG narrative — whether labels shape outcomes behind the scenes — and why Glasses pushes back on that idea (00:11:37).

Glasses then zooms out on his own journey — coming up in Watts and Compton, being cultivated through Cash Money and Birdman, and why much of today’s podcast space feels performative rather than grounded (00:12:56). The episode closes by returning to the culture-line debate: public call-outs, Wack 100 mentions, and why Loon argues that not everything belongs online when real reputations and long-term outcomes are involved (00:45:05).

This isn’t a clip chase. It’s a real conversation about media standards, responsibility, and how culture navigates influence in the digital age. 🔗 WATCH & CONNECT 📺 Subscribe to It’s Up There Podcast (Main Channel) 🎬 Its Up There Podcast – Clips Channel 🎧 Listen on Spotify 🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts 🔥 Exclusive & Unreleased Interviews (Patreon) https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 💬 Join the Discord 🧢 Merch 👣 FOLLOW BIG LOON Instagram: @fogfo_looney TikTok: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast See for privacy information.
