Podcast: No Ceilings with Glasses Malone
Published On: Tue Dec 16 2025
Description: In this episode of the No Ceilings Podcast, Glasses Malone leads a powerful conversation examining the core of hip hop culture, the sacrifices required to protect it, and the critical differences between hip hop as a cultural movement and pop music as a commercial product. The discussion centers on authenticity, cultural accountability, and responsibility, particularly when it comes to how street culture is represented and commodified. Glasses Malone and the crew also addresses the role of gatekeepers in hip hop, the risks of cultural dilution, and the dangers of outsiders claiming identities they haven’t lived. As the conversation unfolds, the hosts explore generational divides in hip hop, the evolution of the genre in the digital era, and why preserving its roots remains essential—even as the culture continues to grow and adapt.  Rate, subscribe, comment and share.
