Pop the Trunk

Everyone has a podcast, but Vinnie Paz finally has one about the thing that changed his life: Music.

“Pop the Trunk” is Vinnie’s first podcast where he’s actually going to talk about music and all the different realms it touches from pop culture to sports, movies, books…it’ll be a free-flowing conversation from his scattered brain. So, come join Vinnie , Brendan, and Billy for what’ll be an unhinged tour through a wide range of topics that all started with a career in music that is one of the more unlikely DIY success stories.

Episode 2 - “I’m not playing around on this rhyme shit” Feb 25, 2026

Show notes

The boys are back for Episode 2 of Pop the Trunk! Vinnie and Brendan take a deep dive into the bloodbath that is the music industry, reflecting on Vinnie’s 30-year journey from 1996 to the present day.

In this installment, Vinnie breaks down his "no plan B" mentality, detailing how an obsession with hip-hop culture and the "unmitigated gall" to do things independently kept him on a mission when major labels were looking for a gimmick. The discussion hits everything from the golden era of the East Coast to the "nefarious" hustle of selling demos like punk bands just to buy a beat machine.
