  5. Larry Smith is Hip-Hop’s Forgotten Architect

    Larry Smith is Hip-Hop’s Forgotten Architect

    Before the term "super producer" became a staple in hip-hop, Larry Smith was already crafting legendary productions that shaped the genre. On this episode of Queue Points, DJ Sir Daniel and Jay Ray drop the needle on one of hip-hop’s most unsung pioneers—Larry Smith. From his groundbreaking work with Run-D.M.C. and Whodini to his influence on the early sound of Def Jam, Smith’s musicianship set the foundation for what would become hip-hop’s golden era. But why isn’t his name as widely recognized as other production legends? The duo explores Smith’s deep roots as a bass player, his innovative production style, and why he ultimately walked away from hip-hop at its commercial peak. Join us as we celebrate the man behind classics like ‘Sucker MCs,’ ‘Friends,’ and ‘Freaks Come Out at Night,’ and discuss how his legacy still echoes in today’s music. If you’re a fan of hip-hop history, classic beats, and deep storytelling, this episode is a must-listen.

In this episode of Queue Points Live, DJ Sir Daniel and Jay Ray dive deep into the controversy surrounding the Grammys' decision to proceed despite the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles.

The conversation expands into a broader discussion about musicians' role in humanitarian efforts, reflecting on iconic moments like “We Are the World” and whether today's artists could pull off a similar collective action. Plus, the hosts examine the impact of modern celebrity culture, the challenges of organizing relief efforts in the digital age, and whether award shows should adapt in times of crisis.

    R. Kelly’s Legacy: Is He Really America’s Greatest Songwriter?

    In this lively episode of Queue Points Live, hosts DJ Sir Daniel and Jay Ray tackle one of the most polarizing questions in Black music history: Is R. Kelly the greatest American songwriter? 🤔 (Spoiler Altert - NO, he's not.) Fueled by viral social media hot takes, they unpack the complexity of R. Kelly’s legacy—from his undeniable musical genius to the societal implications of celebrating his work in light of his personal controversies. Through a mix of humor, cultural critique, and deep analysis, they explore how R. Kelly’s music became a cornerstone of Black nostalgia, his mastery of the pop music formula, and the reasons his songs still resonate despite his downfall.
