"Talking Star: 'The Star Report: How Long Before the Lovin' Goes Bad?'"

Mr. Torain flies right into the topic of whether Sammy “The Bull” Gravano is a model citizen or a SOB. He includes the other topic concerning the time it takes for a loving relationship to turn sour. Lenard McKelvey is “big mad” at the Hater. What this side topic reveals is that Star is aware of the media landscape and conveys a message that brings to light the foul-ups in the industry. Star says that he will rock solo if Ronnie never checks into the show. Mr. Torain wonders if his viewers and listeners care about The Bull opening up on some shady dealings from Cosa Nostra. Star says that he “gave it up sweet.” He takes a call to get input from an audience member.

Star says that piece of excrement The Bull is ready to do a podcast and is much worse than OJ Simpson, who beat his murder case. Mr. Torain wishes to not “cape” for Cosa Nostra. He says that it’s deeper than negroes in Harlem. He holds that “the boss must be back on the... block.” He warns his audience to not go easy on the Italian mobsters when the show has gone at blacks, yellows, other colors over gang-related activities. Star then talks about the Game case where the rapper will be forced to pay a victim $7 million in damages connected to a sexual assault case. A caller reverts back to The Bull issue. He says that not only is the criminal a snitch, he’s worse than that. Caller outlines that The Bull is the biggest snitch of all time.

In this day and age, rappers buy their underlings “Jordans and slave chains.” This all goes back to the idea that a boss must be held down by those lower on the chain of command. Star engages with the caller by challenging him to see just how Cosa Nostra works. McKelvey seems to be very bothered with Mr. Torain. As he joined T.I. on his podcast expediTIously, Star is “flattered” by the radio host and says that he is still “doing too much.”

Super Chatter Blade paints a scenario where The Bull snitched. Mr. Torain distinguishes between his Neapolitan blood vs the Sicilian bloodline. And speaking of bloodlines, Star points out that a caller’s ancestry is all fouled up, now. The caller feels that when Sammy talked on the record, he questions whether Sammy disrespected the Mafia. “Parameters, discipline, tradition, and order” remain the bedrock to this organization to Star. He displays his knowledge of the various underpinnings of the structure of the Mob. Star says that the Mafia is about going to “rob and kill” for the family. Mr. Torain then talks about the book deal that collapsed over a decade ago because the publisher wanted “more gossip.”

Star talks about “demographics, female viewers, and building the show” with an undisclosed “power player” in the game of television. Quickly, the show turns back to The Bull topic. To cape for the “scum... of the earth” puts Star in a position where he doesn’t know where we’re headed as a culture. How Mr. Torain breaks down the various aspects of the Mafia is a boon to his intelligence and his ability to display the intricacies of this underground world. Elvis “The Chef” Rosenberg proclaims that the Dolemite movie is “fire.” A new caller says that he was an officer and that civilians, or those not in criminal affairs, snitch less than those in “the life.”

Star expands his vision by saying that he’s “coming for Wendy Williams.” A change of topic begins with the analysis of a caller breaking down the tipping point where the love goes bad. He says that the woman in a heterosexual relationship will try to be the man’s “mother.” When a woman becomes aggie and doesn’t want to explore new things, that is when the love evaporates. Star permits callers to speak their piece and he brings to light the multiple facets of a given relationship. Mr. Torain goes “ten toes down” on the Cosa Nostra and shows how John Gotti and Al Capone claimed Neapolitan lineage. Star questions whether The Bull should get a pass. This is the quandary. Star says for callers to watch their tongue while he uses almost all of the gamut of words that you can’t say on radio. It’s understood that the YouTube algorithm picks up the callers words, but it’s still a bit ironic.

Mr. Torain finally comes right out and says it, “Sammy Gravano is a loser.” What’s interesting is the fact that Star will allow a caller to say a few words but then cut him or her off when they say something that refers to female genitalia. But he’ll permit a few four letter f-bombs. Psych L comes onto the line and suggests that The Bull should become a rapper with Tekashi. Star then admits that he doesn’t deal with his Neapolitians in his family. They had to call ahead of time according to Star’s father. Mr. Torain turns back to McKelvey saying that he played no role in the dissolution of the deal with HBO. Star talks about how the US military kills civilians. Because it is not on America’s hands, it’s about the offending nation for acting as an oppressor which makes the blood on their hands.

Mr. Torain fields a questioner who talks about the origins of trap music with Ghetto Mafia. He once again goes at McKelvey for his name dropping of the Hater during TIP’s podcast. A major network has met with Star to discuss a possible show. Now, Star wants to talk about Rayful Edmond, a drug trafficker from the eighties. He talks about how Edmond is now snitching and “may be coming home.”

Star then takes a call from someone named “DC” who begins singing bars to the remix of “I Miss You” by Aaliyah. Jay-Z claims on the record that Star didn’t want to interview him, but the truth is that he just needed to make the song sound better. By returning to the McKelvey situation, Mr. Torain responds to a comment that claims that McKelvey will make Star the “Donkey of the Day” on The Breakfast Club. He agrees. Like a pendulum, the topic sways back to The Bull. Star claims that he is a “low-life” and that he should’ve fell on the knife instead of opening his mouth. Star wants the smoke. He doesn’t want tension on the microphone but if it came down to it, he would straighten Clifford Harris out for his reckless tongue. And Ronnie never calls into the show.
