Tracy T Interview Part 2 on It’s Up There Podcast with Loon addresses Kash Doll’s Atlanta home invasion, the YSL plea deal controversy surrounding Gunna and Young Thug, and ongoing media politics involving DJ Akademiks and Charlamagne tha God on this episode of It’s Up There Podcast. This conversation connects to the public Breakfast Club discussion about the Atlanta home invasion where shots were fired and luxury items, including Birkin bags, were allegedly targeted — adding broader context to what happened and how narratives spread. From there, the episode pivots into the ongoing “Did Gunna snitch?” debate tied to the YSL RICO case, plea optics, the “YSL is a gang and it must end” statement, and how fans interpret loyalty versus legal survival. Tracy speaks on talking to Gunna directly and how industry perception differs from street code. The discussion then expands into hip hop media politics — how DJ Akademiks’ coverage of major events, including Takeoff’s death, shifted narratives, how alliances between platforms matter, and how behind-the-scenes industry relationships can quietly influence visibility. Additional topics include: • Industry gatekeeping and blackball allegations • Kash Doll’s Birkin bag targeting and home security concerns • YSL plea language vs snitching definitions • Fan loyalty vs business survival • Shade Room relationship culture • PTSD after violence • Strategy vs emotion in hip hop 00:00 Tracy T Interview Part 2 08:40 Kash Doll Atlanta Home Invasion 18:10 Birkin Bag Targeting Discussion 26:00 Did Gunna Snitch?

GloRilla is trending after her sister went public on TMZ, claiming the rapper hasn’t taken care of the family and saying their mother is still working at FedEx. The interview immediately sparked backlash, debate, and questions about money, family, and entitlement once fame enters the picture. In this solo episode, Loon breaks down exactly what was said, why taking family issues to the internet changes everything, and how situations like this play out when success meets expectations. This isn’t gossip — it’s a real conversation about family dynamics, access to outcomes, public pressure, and why money creates tension even when people believe it should fix everything. Loon also explains why viral family disputes hit harder than industry beef, how fame creates illusions about wealth, and why going public often closes doors that can’t be reopened. 🎙 It’s Up There Podcast 📍 Solo Culture Commentary 🔥 Viral situation explained with real context 👉 Watch the full episode of It’s Up There Podcast 👉 Share this episode and join the conversation 👉 Listen on Black Effect or wherever you get podcasts Follow & support the platform: ▶️ Patreon: https://patreon.com/ItsUpTherePodcast ▶️ Discord: https://discord.gg/3AwsHfDcJB ▶️ Instagram: @ItsUpTherePodcast #ItsUpTherePodcast #glorilla #GloRillaSister #ItsUpTherePodcast #Loon #HipHopCulture #RapNews #BlackEffect #CelebrityNews #ViralMoment #FamilyDrama #CultureCommentary (Add timestamps once uploaded — this structure works) 00:00 – Why the GloRilla situation went viral 05:30 – What her sister actually said on TMZ 12:40 – Family expectations vs reality 21:00 – Money, fame, and entitlement 33:00 – Why going public changes everything
