To our Ruckus fans…

To our Ruckus fans…

The Ruckus Podcast is a family that was brought together by a brilliant human being who had the foresight to put together 10 people in one space and let the world hear it. We are sorry to inform that Lu Olivero, better known as Brutus and the creator of this space, is no longer with us. His life was taken by an assassin’s bullets in Rio de Janeiro, where he’d been living for the past 10 years. He left behind a daughter, Sophia, and his long term partner, Julia, his immediate family in Lawrence, MA and many others who considered him to be family, ourselves included.

We are heartbroken, talking about our brother in the past tense four months later seems surreal. The investigation is being conducted by Rio de Janeiro police. There are details being uncovered regularly and we do not want to hinder the work of the detectives involved, so we ask y’all to pay attention to this case. We hope that his killers are brought to justice soon.

Please continue to support The Ruckus Podcast, it is a labor of love and we intend to keep his name and spirit alive, even when he would roast KC or say that he hated all of us so much for giving him shit about his corny dad jokes. Brutus lives on!

The Interview - Gilda

The Interview - Gilda

Though you've come to know the Ruckus for the madness we do pride ourselves with providing our listeners with useful information on serious topics. And, unless you've been under a rock for the last few weeks, you've probably heard about massive uprisings going on in Cuba and in the United States as Cubans and Cuban Americans protest the oppressive Cuban regime.   We've commented minimally on the subject, partly cause we don't know what we are talking about. So, we were excited when Cuban political immigrant, Gilda, dropped by the show to share her experience as a political exile. She dropped knowledge on the Cuban revolution, her feelings towards the recent protests and shares her vision for Cuba's future. The audio is a bit rough, and we apologize for, but if you can get over that technical glitch you'll be inspired.   

Get your headphones ready. Cause it's about to be on.

The Interview - Keamo

Though the Ruckus is known for a lot of bullshit, and madness, every now and then we try to bring people onto the pod that actually know what the fuck they are talking about. So, on this episode, we put the bullshit aside while the homie Keamo dropped gems on everything from tech to NFTs and the world of digital marketing. It was great. We didn't understand it all, which made it all the more necessary to pick the homies brain. As the world goes full blown digital we have to be able to function in this digitial "new" world.

Nueva Yol - Episode 29

Nueva Yol - Episode 29

The cast hits the rewind button and get personal as they explore the classic Dominican film, "Nueva Yol".

However, Balbuena faces innumerous difficulties as he transitions to his new like in New York City, and quickly regrets his decision to move to the Big Apple. An important film for Dominican Americans, “Nueva Yol,” became a cult classic at the time of its release, and interest in the film surged months back after the release of the cultural flop “In the Heights”.

You LatinX? Who's LatinX? - Episode 25

Maybe the most complex term to arise in the last 20 years, "LatinX" is cause for cheers or jeers from Latinos from all walks of life. In this episode, the Ruckus crew tackles the term with the lack of sensitivty that only the Ruckus has. Also, on this episode we go through a few Hot Takes/Hot Topics, as we are graced with the presence of a new friend to the show, Yvonne, a.k.a. Ivy. 

You know how we do. So, sit back, relax and get ready to have your morals questioned.

In The Whites - Episode 23

In The Whites - Episode 23

What do you get when you mix a highly anticipated Hollywood musical about an ethnically diverse neighborhood in New York City and the Ruckus Podcast? You get a complete dismantalling of Lin-Manuel Miranda's "In The Heights". 

This shit's gotta be heard to be believed. 


All you "I no Bla..." Dominicans, get ready. 


The Ruckus crew put their thinking caps on for this one, and picked apart what has been a lightining rod of a film. From the musical score and costumes, to the conversation on race, colorism and racism that defines both the movie and its creation process, the Ruckus crew manages to somehow, not only not fuck this one up, but also give y'all something that's actually worth listening to. 


What the actual f**k? 


Seriously, even we were surprised. 

Don't worry, though, the Crew didn't go completely intellectual on you. 

So sit back, don't relax and let the Ruckus ruin another movie for you. You can thank us later.

Marvin and Michael

And here were are, ladies and gentlemen. Our Rolling Stones Top 10 Albums of All Time series has come to an end. And for our final episode, we look back at the number one album on the list, Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On." It is a timeless classic that surprisingly got mixed reviews. See? These Ruckus MFs have no idea what they talkimbout. 

And, as a special surprise, we also reviewed Michael Jackson's classic, "Thriller." 

Sit the f**k down for this one, cause some of these hot takes, are doodoo in a brown paper bag. But you've come to expect nothing less. 

Let's get to it!

Are you ready? Strap up and strap in for another episode of the Ruckus Podcast. Sadly, our journey through Rolling Stones' Top 10 Albums of All Time list is almost over. On this episode, we review albums from the Beach Boys, "Pet Sounds", Joni Mitchell, "Blue", and Stevie Wonder's "Songs in the Key of Life." Though the three albums received a mixed reception from the crew, the hot takes were amazingly awful this time around. And somehow, Brutus manages to sneak in one of his most craziest conspiracy theories yet. You def want to miss this episode, if you can, and don't pass this along to friends, family or loved ones. 

You know what time it is.

Because what would life be without music? It'd be shitty as fuck, and that's why the crew embarked on what has been the most interesting segment in our podcast's short history. 

Instead of just talking music, the crew decided to study music in order to understand what makes an album "classic". To do this, we set out to listen to the top 10 albums on Rolling Stone's list of 500 Best Albums of All-Time. 

Though the Rolling Stone's list has its issues, the crew decided it would be good to change gears a little bit, listen to music outside of our comfort zones and try to identify what makes "good music". 

On this episode we wade through Lauryn Hill's "The Miseducation...", Prince's "Purple Rain" and Bob Dylan's "Blood on the Tracks." 

One of our more "controlled" episodes, our hope is to explore new music, even if it's "old", and create a space where you, our listener, is exposed to music you might not have listened to before. 

This bout to be a trip through time, so get them head phones on and dive into the Ruckus.

Joe Budden Accounting Services - Episode 18

Will the real Joe Budden, please stand up? The Derrick Jxn of podcasting has unmasked himself. It has been a wild week in the world of podcasting, and we bout to fill you in on all the talk. As many of you know, Joe Budden decided to show the world who he really was, and his almost clock-like ability to ruin good things has now ended what was, to many, one of the best podcasts out there. From defending artists and content producers, to now becoming the greedy corporation he so vehemently despised, Mr. Budden has given the crew a blueprint on what NOT to do when someone finally starts listening to our show. 

We also talk about money literacy, dab into digital currency and plot on how to take over podcasting, now that JBN has fallen. 

R.I.P. JB Podcast!

Buckle the fuck up, and get your headphones on, cause we bout to get real.

The Ruckus Poetry Slam ft. daCosta - "Histórias de Minar"

The Ruckus Poetry Slam ft. daCosta - "Histórias de Minar"

There was probably no better time than the present to have daCosta, one of Brazil's brightest young talents, join us on the podcast. daCosta, an award winning slam poet from the city of Rio de Janeiro, spit fire into the mic and left the crew speechless with his lyrical artistry. His poem, "Histórias de Minar", is a travel through Brazil's turbulent past and present, but his final bar puts the future in check when he proclaims,


"Be warned that literature is also ours.

And if you're going to be talking shit on Facebook

Lock your doors, tightly, 

because we are no longer afraid to tell racists to go fuck themselves”


Listen the first time to enjoy the flow. Listen the second time to understand his words. And, listen one final time so his words can move you. 


**We've provided a rough translation of his work (IG:@theruckuspodcast), which does no justice to the original. Make sure to follow this young brother: @dacostafricana. 

He's got talent, y'all!
