Rodes Live

In this episode of the Rodes Live Podcast, we tap into the unforgettable quotables that shaped culture, comedy, hood classics, and the way we talk every day. From legendary lines in films like Friday, Menace II Society, and New Jack City, to iconic moments in Scarface and Juice, Rodes breaks down how these lines became part of urban vocabulary and cultural identity.
We explore:
Why certain movie lines stick with us forever
How Quotables become slang, inside jokes, and cultural markers
What makes a line “classic” in hip-hop and urban communities
How movies influence the way we tell stories, rap, and relate to each other
Rodes is also the “What’s Poppin’ Artist of the Day,” highlighting his grind, new music, and continued contribution to the culture.

This week on the Rodes Live Podcast, we dig into the freeze—literally and culturally. With brutal weather hitting communities nationwide, we talk about how the cold impacts daily life and why this winter feels like it's got hands.
But we don’t stop there…
We also explore some of hip-hop’s most iconic “ICEs,” from legendary names to cold personas, jewelry, bars, and moments that shaped the culture. Whether it’s the ice on the neck, the ice in the delivery, or the ICE-cold classics, we break down how the term continues to influence the game.
Our “What’s Poppin” artist of the day is Solo Heights, bringing heat during one of the coldest weeks of the year. Make sure you get in tune.
