OC podcasters say Juice Unlocked has gone 'one-sided' toward Raza rappers

Juice Unlocked found itself the topic of someone else's podcast. On Nov. 28, 2025, the outlet's clips page reposted a roughly two-minute segment from an Orange County podcast in which two men at the mic argued over whether Juice Unlocked had changed who it covers.

Juice Unlocked's cover graphic framed it as podcasters claiming the outlet is racist for pushing Raza rappers. The clip itself is murkier: one speaker says he does not think "he" is racist, and most of the conversation centers on whether the platform has gone "one-sided."

What was said

The clip opens with one speaker recounting the claim that Juice Unlocked used Black artists' beefs to get popular because audiences "want to see the show." He then calls it "a crazy narrative" to push.

The pair go on to debate the outlet's history. One says there were not many Hispanic rappers to cover in 2020, and that the platform went from covering anything coming out of Orange County to a full Raza community focus.

He says he looked into a clip from another podcast that, by his account, calls itself the best Raza podcast out, where Juice Unlocked came up as a fellow blogger to support. He took that to mean Juice Unlocked is now seen as a Raza blogger.

Later in the clip, a speaker says he would not mind if that is the outlet's lane, but argues that people go back to their heritage once they feel they are done "using us." He adds that he gets the frustration, conceding, "we don't support each other."

“He's using Black beefs to get popular. He's getting this because they want to see it. They want to see the show.”

Juice Unlocked's response

Juice Unlocked pushed back in the caption, asking why anyone would run "this narrative" on the outlet. It asked followers to keep it real: are the podcasters hating and clout chasing, or did Juice Unlocked switch up? The post drew 387 likes and 68 comments.

“For granted, I don't think he's racist, but that's a crazy narrative.”

“There were not that many Hispanic rappers in 2020. It was all Blacks.”

“It's just like it's been one-sided lately.”
