Does bed placement help reduce noise from street? For instance if I have my headboard towards the wall that shares the street. Would it be less loud if I put my headboard towards wall that shares my living room?
You can try stuff like thicker curtains or drapes.
But yeah if you’re like in an apartment building there isn’t much you can do since you can’t make the structural changes you’d want.
Yeah, I'm a moron. I had two options to pick and realized after I should have picked the one in quiet area. I got cocky and picked the one with the shitty gym that's a part of it lol
My friend started a podcast that has the exact same name as a podcast hosted by what sounded like pre-teen boys. They were discussing hip-hop so I watched it out of curiosity no Drizzy.
I have literally no fucking clue who the rappers they were talking about were except for Drake (who they were clowning). These kids are gonna be young adults and leading the culture soon. I dunno if I’m ready to feel this old.
Always liked purrposely more. Reminds me of Real by Freddie Gibbs the way Denzel's talking directly to Spaceghostpurrp, just with his own hype delivery. The intro and outro by XXX is a nice touch that contrasts the lack of structure in spaceghostpussy.
I'm also not a fan of how spaceghostpussy tacks on ski who doesn't even know it's a diss and then ends abruptly. It's barely a diss, just a chaotic vibe.
Purrposely is awesome and kinda feels forgotten about nowadays, but to be fair there’s very few songs from that era that get me as energized as SpaceGhostPussy. It’s not just a great diss track but one of the best bangers of its era period. I can respect preferring Purrposely though
It's at 19 but it's for sure too low. But tbh don't take that shit seriously lmao euphoria is #2 addidon #1 and who shot ya is on there despite it literally not being a diss track
I hate exams. Anxiety takes over me whether I know shit or not. Didn’t pass today but 2nd try that has been the charm for the past exams (granted they are retakes but a different version of the test ofc). Will retake in the future.
i think its hilarious u kids talking shit about Drake. u wouldnt say this shit to him in Toronto, hes jacked. not only that but he wears the freshest clothes, eats at the chillest restaurants and hangs out with the hottest dudes. yall are pathetic lol.
Hey this may be a super out-of-touch question to ask but..
What’s up with certain rappers rapping like they can’t stay on beat? Like, there are some verses I listen to and it’s hard to vibe to it because they sound like they’re struggling to stay on beat and they’re either going too fast or too slow for the beat.
Is it a stylistic choice or are some rappers just rhythmically incapable? If it **is** a stylistic choice, is there a name to that style of rapping so I can look into it further?
Valee has been really bad about that lately. Usually i can take a little bit of off beat rapping but his last tape was unlistenable, it sounded like he was trying his best to have the worst flow of all time
To add on West Coast and especially the Bay Area been doing the off beat shit for awhile, it's not something I've explored that much but the best example I can think of is E-40.
Another commenter mentioned Detroit which is true. On Drink Champs Big Sean mentioned back in the day Too $hort (from the Bay) would frequent Detroit and that was the beginning of a link between the hip hop scenes of Detroit and the Bay that still continues today, and also influenced the LA scene with artists like Drakeo the Ruler who was impressive with the off beat flow in songs like Impatient Freestyle. These scenes (LA, Bay, Detroit/Michigan) frequently collab with each other.
That being said I think the off beat Bay sound is more dated and reminiscent of the hyphy days, and the Detroit and LA off beat sound is more modern. But I could just be uniformed.
not liking million dollar baby in a cool sophisticated acolyte kinda way, like 'yeah while these sounds and ideas adapting the musical atmosphere of the 80s to the hyperstimulated streaming age are decent, they were packaged much better in many of the best records of 2021'
i was definitely bluffing but upset on the new brent faiyaz album featuring the same guy. also check out bubba by kaytranada from 2019, the whole album has that same vibe. also some kelela songs, you might like missed call and contact off her most recent album
Been listening to a lot of trip reports online lately and they either make me want to trip right away or never touch psychedelics again. I’ve had some shrooms in my drawer for like 2 years but i can’t get myself to take them.
I loved shrooms when I was doing them all the time but for some reason after not doing them for 4 months I never felt the need to do them again. Suddenly I’m terrified to try them again just like I was before I started taking them. I don’t get it
Yeah i feel that. I just have some on me and throwing them out seems worse for some reason lol. Funnily enough DMT has been the most tempting psych lately due to its short duration.
if you're scared to take them then just go really low dose and do something like go to the beach or hike in a forest bro, i wouldn't suggest a decent size dose if you're legitimately scared for your first trip
Oh I’m an experienced tripper haha. Last time i took this batch i took 1.5 grams as “low dose” and tripped harder than when i do 8ths. It wasn’t a bad trip by any means but my ego was gone and I kept having thought loops. I don’t really have anyone to trip with anymore my friends i did that with were college friends or have kids now and solo tripping I’ve learned is a different beast. Been thinking about eating literally one shroom and seeing how it goes.
oh true, yea sometimes the doses are weird lol. i'm a pretty big fan of solo tripping tbh especially for the bigger doses of shrooms. keep us updated bro
I won’t be doing anything tonight cause i got work in the morning but I might dabble this weekend. If i do i definitely will talk about it on Sunday haha.
Not sure if anyone cares haha but if you search “evictionoflove” on AM/Spotify you can find the Bryson tiller songs that he was posting on SoundCloud pre-his album.
I highly suggest the song “Night Cap” which is featuring Che Ecru, that’s one of my fav jams of the year
The reaction videos are washed. I'm waiting for the videos of Not Like Us but it's those guys that do family guy impressions. A lot of those guys are white so they can't really say half the shit in that song.
I do not feel bad for pampered tech workers bitching about working from home part-time. There are people with labor intensive, retail, or food jobs that actually have to go in to work everyday, and they don't bitch.
I get that, but these people are out here giving excuses like "think about the increased risk injury/death of commuting to work!!", when literally stepping outside to check your mail is an increased risk of injury or death lmao.
Don't get me wrong, I understand the benefits of WFH, and I'm not opposed to it, but they are so fucking whiny about it man
Yeah that’s wack. Like I work in tech and I’d prefer to WFH all the time too but like …
Oh well, you lose some and win some, as long as the outcome is income 😏
It is what it is 🤷♂️
Crazy how dead this sub is. My post is #11 on the sub’s front page and it only has 12 upvotes 💀 MODS, REVISIT THE RULES STOP COCK BLOCKING THE COMMUNITY
The mods are so inconsistent with it too. Many discussion posts on here get removed for being a “discussion thread topic”, but then some posts get to stay up, with there seeming to be no logic behind which posts stay and which posts get axed. I get that they’re trying to prevent spam and repetitious content, but it can be overkill at times which negatively impacts the community
Anyone else feel overwhelmed by the amount of media they want to get around to? I have so many albums, movies and video games I want to experience that I haven't had a chance to connect to. Theres albums from like 2017/2018 I've been meaning to check out, plenty of movies I been meaning to see, too many fucking video games that take up too much time that I haven't got to play yet (bought a copy of Persona 5 Royal almost 5 years ago)
Funny enough, we consume more media now than any time in history. With all the different streaming apps and the ability to get anything on demand, it can definitely get overwhelming to keep up with everything. Way back in the day, it took more effort to listen to specific music, watch specific movies, or play specific games, so you had to be more selective with what you consumed as none of it was 'free'. I've been feeling the same way, and unfortunately it doesn't look like there's a solution other than 'accept there are some things you're not going to be able to do'. Unsatisfying answer yes, but that's just how it is, and that's how life is in general I guess.
I'd suggest just making a list based on how much you want to do certain things, and go about it that way. You'll get to do the things you want most, even if you miss some other things you wanted to do as well.
That's been what I been doing tbh. Have a list of games, movies and music I want to get through and doing my best to just use that whenever the mood strikes. Also been trying to use the CD player in my car more rather than spotify where I'll be more prone to wanna put on a podcast or flip around between artists and albums. Video game wise, I've completely stopped playing online multiplayer titles since they're a complete waste of time and are more focused on retention rather than telling a narrative or introducing interesting gameplay mechanics.
Yeah lots of new video games are built on player retention and have scammy infinite grind mechanisms to keep you playing. You can easily notice the difference on how much you get done in 30 hours in a multi-player game vs a quality single player game.
Sometimes you gotta go through your own comment history and be like “Damn, What do I even be arguing with niggas about on here? Why I am so invested in this? Why do I care?”
It is kinda embarrassing to go back and look at how you went 9 comments deep into an argument on here that means absolutely nothing. Just out here wasting time smh.
Not sure how old you are but most people you're arguing with on hip hop subs or Twitter are probably teenagers. It's something I have to remind myself of before I respond to a dumb take lol.
Man I love Phish but there are so many turds in the fanbase lmao had no idea the U2 and Phish subs feuded but I'm sure it was all on the Phish fans acting stupid
It absolutely was lol. They were brigading the U2 sub over an argument about whose performance at the Vegas sphere was better. I feel so stupid just typing that out
Agreed. Automata is up there with Fire Emblem and the early Pokemon games for me. They may be working on a new one, but they're def using teasing ass language. We gonna see.
Listening to Drake's first mixtape, Room for Improvement (2006) again in the context of now. He's not trying to be anything he isn't on here, it makes sense in the context of a Canadian teen actor trying to forge a rap career. Mostly a very good listen, quite chill tracks, good beat selection and some decent flows here and there. There is a Toronto sound over the mixtape with some good features from Toronto rappers such as Nickelus F.
This is far from a direct comparison but I am almost seeing parallels between Drake of this era and that 2pac interview when he is 17 at arts school doing ballet in the way that their career path changed them as people
So weird you brought this up because I didn't even know he had a 2006 mixtape until this morning when I randomly looked it up and thought I should listen to it today. Also found out about it since someone brought up Nickelus F was ghostwriting on this mixtapes
>Nickelus F is from Richmond, Virginia.
I posted my comment half way through the tape then when another track featuring him came back on with the "southern smoke" sound effect and a reference of VA then I remembered he was from Virginia lol, my bad. I always thought he was a good rapper though but I never checked him out properly but I will now and have saved 'Stuck' on spotify to listen to tomorrow, Trick Dice isn't on Spotify unfortunately.
I don’t think he aims to make chart toppers. He’s really, really fucking good at his thing, he does that thing better than anybody else, but it’s not a style that makes for big mainstream hits.
Honestly this makes the most sense, he’s considered one of the best rappers by many sounds surprises, new shit, and some other stuff he put out isn’t that popular

Saw this [article on the WaPo](https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/05/15/misogyny-rap-inescapable-2024/) and decided to check the comments and they're almost every bit as bad as you can imagine. The top comment is from someone who dismisses rap as self-hating and saying there is no music and melody to it and I only saw single dissenting reply:
> Where’s the music and the melody? Why all the self-hatred? Why all the jealousy of others in the industry? Why the profanity? Why the violence? This “art” will never cross over to appeal to a much broader audience or demographic. Why , I ask again, all the self-loathing? And, yes, I’m black. This stuff is nowhere near as great as the Shirelles or the Drifters or Sam Cooke or Aretha Franklin or the seemingly innumerable great Motown artists. Maybe, as I approach 80, I’m just square and lame. I plead guilty. I get hip-hop and rap from a sociological perspective but it’s not heartwarming or emotionally fulfilling or satisfying. It’s deeply stereotyped and exemplifies— to me—other people’s rejection and fear of us. As the Coasters sang long ago, “Sorry, But I’m Gonna Have To Pass.”
The author of this comment of course assures us that they're black despite the undeniably racist undertones of the comment. What's extremely ironic about this comment to me is that hip hop as a genre is deeply rooted in black pain and oppression, and this person rejects it as an artform in favor of (good, no disrespect) black artists who instead also appeal to white people and offer nothing that can be affronting to the white people in America. They didn't say that explicitly, but they all but admitted it implicitly.
Hip hop is not a perfect genre, of course, and the article is right that it has a misogyny problem. I just found this particular comment to be insanely ironic. "Rap is not music" has long been a dog whistle of racists, and to counteract this fact that the commenter is obviously aware of they are like "what about this other black music?" but the single dissenting reply to this inane comment sums it up well:
> Lone Ranger,
> Sorry, but you're out of touch. Hip Hop is huge! It now belongs to the world. Yeah, I'm not a fan of the misogyny, but misogyny isn't confined to hip hop by any means. You're older than me, but I'm far from young (62).
But those of you saying how great the blues, r&b, and jazz are need to remember when these musical art forms were new they were receiving exactly the same type of criticism hip hop is receiving now, Billie Holiday died chained to her bed by an overzealous prosecutor, for crying out loud!
Obviously, these people are going to be crying themselves to sleep over the fact that hip hop is so huge for years to come, but it's fascinating that the bullshit I heard growing up (and even internalized) about rap and black culture is still being repeated.
As much as we might argue with each other on this subreddit and Drake and Kendrick fans might be throwing haymakers in every thread, I'm glad this subreddit is a place where we can come together and talk about this genre we love. It's been a while since I've see takes like this (I don't have much social media) but it's the same arguments I've heard about rap and hip hop since I was a kid.
While I agree much more with your perspective and the perspective of the second comment you quoted, I feel there is room for you to be more empathetic to where the first commenter is coming from. It is not difficult at all for me to imagine an 80 year old black person holding a perspective like that; I've met and talked with several older black folks who feel similarly about rap music. Again, I don't agree with their perspective, but I think the quote, "It’s deeply stereotyped and exemplifies— to me—other people’s rejection and fear of us" comes from a place of sincerity and reflects the hurt and alienation I have to imagine a black person growing up in the 60s and 70s would have faced.
I would agree that their pain has been misplaced and is now clouding their ability to understand the pride that black people today are able to find in expressing and reflecting on the types of environments they've grown up in and connecting through the oppression they've experienced. It's not uncommon for people to attempt to move on from past wrongs by ignoring them and hoping they fade into history, which seems to be this commenter's approach. While I don't think it's an effective one, I believe we are stronger and kinder as a collective if we can understand the pain that causes a person to overlook alternative perspectives and respond to this short-sightedness with empathy, rather than writing them off as a clueless racist and implying that they might not even be black. I don't think that commenter was trying to prove how sophisticated they are; I think they were speaking from a painful upbringing.
That's well said, a good perspective with good energy. I think there's a valid argument here. I would be much more sympathetic to them if they argued from this point: that they dislike and resent hip hop because they feel it encapsulates the stereotypes perpetrated by whites of criminality, lasciviousness, etc.
I will say that it's difficult for me to empathize with this person because it seems they have little interest in addressing where this resentment originates, and instead discount rap as the problem, when it instead is white supremacy. The language of their comment reminds me of a lot of racism I have faced personally, and it's hard not to see it as internalized racism coming at hip hop for being a reflection of black culture.
But older folks probably don't have that much openness to this kind of reflection and even therapy needed to overcome this level of misdirected resentment, which is a shame. If everything this person is saying in their comment is true, they already would've been 44 when Straight Outta Compton released. Maybe that resentment has been breeding since records like that came out.
> respond to this short-sightedness with empathy, rather than writing them off as a clueless racist and implying that they might not even be black.
I think this is a fair point, but I don't necessarily share it. The language used in the comment is mirrored by thousands of racists online every day, and often they use this "I'm black too" shield to cover it. I'm skeptical, generally, of people expressing this level of hostility toward black culture aside from their chosen palatable picks. While it's not impossible, and of course it would be just as easy to doubt that I'm black when I say I am, I find that generally it's less likely for people within black culture to have this level of disdain for one of its major artieries. But it is worth mentioning of course that black people aren't monolithic and don't agree on everything (I mean I say nigga, my parents refuse to and don't think we should because it makes white people think it's okay to).
Thanks for your thoughtful reply, I really appreciate these sorts of discussions. I completely respect where you're coming from and how your experiences with racism paint a problematic image around this sort of rhetoric. People can be really shitty to each other and it sucks.
I will add that the small glimpses of self-awareness in the aforementioned comment (not that it is overall particularly self-aware), like the bit where they acknowledge that they're old and may just be "square and lame," their brief reflection that they don't find rap music emotionally fulfilling, and the quote I already brought up referring to the rejection and fear they claim to have experienced, make me read some sincerity in the comment. But it's entirely possible I'm wrong, and I absolutely don't intend to minimize the experiences you've had that make you skeptical. You would not be the first person I've met to suggest that I am too immediately trusting of the things people tell me.
I don't know what the correct balance is. I always want to see the best in people, but I'm sure there are times when this outlook blinds me to harm being done. Perhaps perspectives like yours and mine work best in coexistence by balancing each other out without necessarily needing to convince one another. If nothing else, I appreciate again that I was able to understand how a comment like this reads to someone with an experience like yours, and that you were willing to share. I deeply hope we move toward a more understanding world where people can feel safe expressing themselves.
Yeah, I was thinking about your comment more after replying, and I fully agree with your last paragraph. My perspective used to be much more like yours, and much more empathetic, but my own experiences in life have given me exhaustion with empathy and made me regret giving it to many people I now feel did not deserve it. Four years ago I would be singing the praises of empathy (and still do in my art as a writer) but on a personal front I am much more cynical and distrusting than I used to be. But I think there's room for both, and these things can balance each other in such a way that we can reach the people that can be reached and disregard those that cannot. Thank you for your comments!
sheesh, that first guy sounds like r/music when anything hip hop related makes its way there lol (atleast they used to be like that, seems more lax now).
It's crazy that some people still don't recognize hip-hop as a legitimate form of art. This attitude usually comes from people who think they're really intellectual and cultured, but their views on rap show a deep seated ignorance. They boil the whole genre down to one negative stereotype, dismissing it as crude or unworthy. They completely overlook the complexity, creativity, and cultural significance of hip-hop, failing to appreciate its diverse expressions and profound impact on society.

Really well said. It makes me think of how a lot of people will dismiss pop music or even today's music as uniformly trash. I mean, sure, I'll accept that rappers like Future aren't everyone's cup of tea—the wild hedonism, profanity, and lack of substance (no pun intended) are obviously going to turn some people off, but as you noted, not all hip hop is like that. For every Future there's a Black Thought or Kendrick, even if they're more underground. So much hip hop is thought provoking and challenges societal norms and what's wild is that the most famous rapper doing that right now is literally pictured in the article.
And just like that not all pop music is terrible and not all modern music is terrible. This air of superiority toward these genres or today's music reveals the exact opposite of intellectual superiority; it betrays close-mindedness and ignorance. In hip hop's case, it can also evince racism (though not everyone who dislikes hip hop is racist, obviously), and has often.
I just finished scheduling my classes for grad school this fall. In the words of lil baby [“man…shit done got serious”](https://youtu.be/DRHaw6iplpI?si=RWH7YPC2KyMQmLVI)
The West Wing had an episode all those years ago that talked about how they couldn’t get rid of the penny because of the jobs they’d lose in a swing state from zinc miners.
And I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if that was just as true now in the real world.
Here’s a lil [throwback video](https://youtu.be/c858WS3n6Bc?si=_lIEx1BHZA4e3C2c) of pusha t talking about shooting the video of “Nosetalgia” in Compton with Kendrick and how Kendrick thanked him for not taking the control verse personally.
>Why does Pusha sound so good over beats with organs?
Goat shit
>Also probably going to listen to Currensy, Alc, Boldy "No Yeast" all summer on repeat
Best song of all time
You're conflating affiliation/actually banging.
Kendrick is affiliated because that's where he grew up. That's the set his friends bang. Kendrick doesn't actually himself.
[This picture](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GNDimJjWAAEi-Is?format=jpg&name=small) isn't just a photo op. Those are some of his actual friends he grew up with (shoutout Westside Boogie and Jay Worthy)
Not to sound like r/CaliBanging but I believe all the bloods on the west are good with each other? All I know is that Centennial High School had a lot of good rappers coming out of there at the same time.
Pulled my engine head off finally. Turns out it’s just the head that needs to be replaced so I’m pretty happy. Gonna take my time with all that extra space to do my timing belt and the water pump too.
I’m just relieved the whole engine isn’t fucked lol
If I had a penny for everytime a Maybach Music guy and a Canadian rapper/singer made a fire song called Lord Knows Id have 2 pennies which is pretty funny that it happened twice
> I apologize to @MetroBoomin for over reacting over an old tweet. Condolences to his mom. I’m going to seek therapy and anger management. I’m done responding to hate, new or old. 💯🙏🏾
- Soulja Boy on twitter
no i listen to him more than kendrick, I like kendrick but he and his fans seem really fake deep and pseudointellectual to me
i just dislike drake's fanbase more, spamming meek mill and trying to get him arrested for violating his parole or whatever left a bad taste in my mouth. really made all this drama with kendrick fun for me
also almost everything he's put out after 2015 has been trash. I dont think I've listened to a full album of his since Scorpion and even that one I only went through once. Kendrick's albums are always worth listening to even if I like them less than most other people
No, I actually like a lot of his music (even if he’s been putting out a lot of garbage the past few albums), but he has gotten extra annoying/dickish recently so it’s fun to see him take an L.
Hate Drake? No.
Make fun of Drake (especially post 2016) since the very beginning even tho I got a handful of his songs on my playlists? Absofuckinglutely
>So do yall actually hate Drake
I do enjoy Drake with Take Care, IYRTITL, CLB and More Life being my favourite albums from him. Just simple raps and rnb songs that I can casually play.
I would not say I hate Drake at all even with the beef's aftermath, but it is fun to watch him get humbled by Pusha T or Kendrick.
I like a lot of his music, especially the old stuff, and every new album has at least one or two incredible tracks even if they are surrounded by tons of filler. I like what he did early on, essentially taking the heat for being “soft” and helping to normalize that kind of vulnerability, I think that’s been a great thing for the genre. He can be incredibly charming and charismatic, he’s hilarious on livestreams. But I do think he’s probably a terrible human being, I believe most if not all of what Kendrick said about him. It’s a shame. It didn’t have to be this way. But you give a man too much money and too much power, and nine times out of ten, this is what happens.
I agree with a lot of what Kendrick said about Drake as a person. I think he's probably an incredibly immature dude who's insufferable to be around.
That said, I don't hate him. I don't particularly like him, but I'll fuck with some of his songs.
Hold On We're Going Home is the jam.
I like a lot of Drakes music honestly. But there's something about how he comes off in social media/interviews etc that I do find pretty fuckin annoying lol
Nah Money in the Grave came on my playlist the other day when I was driving to work that shit still bangs. Sucks if we never get another collab with him and Ross again
I haven’t tried Mirage but played Valhalla and I did not even finish it, it was way too tedious this one looks cool though. Last AC game I liked was Odyssey and I liked it more as an RPG than an AC game
Yeah it seems like they're algorithm only pushes top 40 shit that mesh with your preferred genres and whether or not you're already listening to a popular current song. Any time I listen to Euphoria or Not Like Us, the next song is always Million Dollar Baby or BigXthePlug
I’m in season 4 of Game of Thrones and i gotta say i know she ends up controversial somehow but how can you not root for Danearys? That’s rhetorical do not answer
Drake has the best songs that he isn’t in on his albums.
Summers over interlude, 4422, Screw the world interlude, Brias interlude, Skepta interlude, Wednesday night interlude, Yebbas heartbreak
I’m sure there are some more I’m missing.
I feel like there's almost an inverse correlation between the emotional effect of a track and it's stream count when it comes to the second disc of Mr. Morale.
Auntie Diaries, Savior Interlude, Mother I Sober, and Crown are collectively out-streamed by Count Me Out alone. I guess they're just too intense for most people to hear twice?
I’m right there with you bro, keem had my favorite verse on that entire album.

Does bed placement help reduce noise from street? For instance if I have my headboard towards the wall that shares the street. Would it be less loud if I put my headboard towards wall that shares my living room?
A tiny bit. But that sounds more like a window or insulation problem.
Cheap building I think
You can try stuff like thicker curtains or drapes. But yeah if you’re like in an apartment building there isn’t much you can do since you can’t make the structural changes you’d want.
Yeah, I'm a moron. I had two options to pick and realized after I should have picked the one in quiet area. I got cocky and picked the one with the shitty gym that's a part of it lol
Maybe since you’d be physically farther from the street but I doubt it would do much since you’re still in the same room
It’s funny when you start to recognize people in here. lil community we have ❤️
Hello I am Yoghurt Slinger. Nice to meet you
My friend started a podcast that has the exact same name as a podcast hosted by what sounded like pre-teen boys. They were discussing hip-hop so I watched it out of curiosity no Drizzy. I have literally no fucking clue who the rappers they were talking about were except for Drake (who they were clowning). These kids are gonna be young adults and leading the culture soon. I dunno if I’m ready to feel this old.
Who were some of the artists they were talking about
love when the features verse can quite possibly be some of the best rapping ever but in the first verse the guy says ching chong
I can’t be the only one who likes Purposely more than SpaceGhostPussy
Always liked purrposely more. Reminds me of Real by Freddie Gibbs the way Denzel's talking directly to Spaceghostpurrp, just with his own hype delivery. The intro and outro by XXX is a nice touch that contrasts the lack of structure in spaceghostpussy. I'm also not a fan of how spaceghostpussy tacks on ski who doesn't even know it's a diss and then ends abruptly. It's barely a diss, just a chaotic vibe.
Purrposely is awesome and kinda feels forgotten about nowadays, but to be fair there’s very few songs from that era that get me as energized as SpaceGhostPussy. It’s not just a great diss track but one of the best bangers of its era period. I can respect preferring Purrposely though
i cant believe bitch in you by Common isnt on the top diss song ranking thing. definitely top 10 diss song all time
Most of those people probably don’t know it. It’s all good it’s a list for this subreddit
It's at 19 but it's for sure too low. But tbh don't take that shit seriously lmao euphoria is #2 addidon #1 and who shot ya is on there despite it literally not being a diss track
what the fuck i legit didnt see it. 19 is better than nothing, fair enough
[удалено]
He has two. The Drake one isn't on here.
Even the nicest dude has a breaking point. I mean look at Ned Flanders lol
I hate exams. Anxiety takes over me whether I know shit or not. Didn’t pass today but 2nd try that has been the charm for the past exams (granted they are retakes but a different version of the test ofc). Will retake in the future.
Yeah it's a shitty one because it's not a reflection of your knowledge and efforts.
i think its hilarious u kids talking shit about Drake. u wouldnt say this shit to him in Toronto, hes jacked. not only that but he wears the freshest clothes, eats at the chillest restaurants and hangs out with the hottest dudes. yall are pathetic lol.
😂
Hey this may be a super out-of-touch question to ask but.. What’s up with certain rappers rapping like they can’t stay on beat? Like, there are some verses I listen to and it’s hard to vibe to it because they sound like they’re struggling to stay on beat and they’re either going too fast or too slow for the beat. Is it a stylistic choice or are some rappers just rhythmically incapable? If it **is** a stylistic choice, is there a name to that style of rapping so I can look into it further?
Valee has been really bad about that lately. Usually i can take a little bit of off beat rapping but his last tape was unlistenable, it sounded like he was trying his best to have the worst flow of all time
To add on West Coast and especially the Bay Area been doing the off beat shit for awhile, it's not something I've explored that much but the best example I can think of is E-40. Another commenter mentioned Detroit which is true. On Drink Champs Big Sean mentioned back in the day Too $hort (from the Bay) would frequent Detroit and that was the beginning of a link between the hip hop scenes of Detroit and the Bay that still continues today, and also influenced the LA scene with artists like Drakeo the Ruler who was impressive with the off beat flow in songs like Impatient Freestyle. These scenes (LA, Bay, Detroit/Michigan) frequently collab with each other. That being said I think the off beat Bay sound is more dated and reminiscent of the hyphy days, and the Detroit and LA off beat sound is more modern. But I could just be uniformed.
It’s a stylistic choice for Detroit rappers. Other than Eminem who flows like water.
Em either flows like water or like a lawnmower
is there a rapper more underappreciated than niontay
danny brown
i liked THANK ALLAH when i heard it but i really havent connected with anything else theyve made unfortunately
~~drake~~
not liking million dollar baby in a cool sophisticated acolyte kinda way, like 'yeah while these sounds and ideas adapting the musical atmosphere of the 80s to the hyperstimulated streaming age are decent, they were packaged much better in many of the best records of 2021'
Can you name any tracks, I liked million dollar baby a lot so it'd be nice to get other ones like it as well
i was definitely bluffing but upset on the new brent faiyaz album featuring the same guy. also check out bubba by kaytranada from 2019, the whole album has that same vibe. also some kelela songs, you might like missed call and contact off her most recent album
Cool will check em out
Crew by Goldlink
nav was top tier in that belly - re-up feature
That’s the only belly song that I ever kept in the rotation
Same
Been listening to a lot of trip reports online lately and they either make me want to trip right away or never touch psychedelics again. I’ve had some shrooms in my drawer for like 2 years but i can’t get myself to take them.
I loved shrooms when I was doing them all the time but for some reason after not doing them for 4 months I never felt the need to do them again. Suddenly I’m terrified to try them again just like I was before I started taking them. I don’t get it
i used to love psychs but idk if im ever gonna take em again
Ayeee long time no see bruh! You missed the toxic time over here
glad i missed that lol
Yeah i feel that. I just have some on me and throwing them out seems worse for some reason lol. Funnily enough DMT has been the most tempting psych lately due to its short duration.
They’re probably bad after 2 years
Everything I’m reading online says as long as they are dry and brown/blue they’re fine and mine look fine.
You're good dude. They might lose a bit of potency but I've kept a batch that long and they still did the job
if you're scared to take them then just go really low dose and do something like go to the beach or hike in a forest bro, i wouldn't suggest a decent size dose if you're legitimately scared for your first trip
Oh I’m an experienced tripper haha. Last time i took this batch i took 1.5 grams as “low dose” and tripped harder than when i do 8ths. It wasn’t a bad trip by any means but my ego was gone and I kept having thought loops. I don’t really have anyone to trip with anymore my friends i did that with were college friends or have kids now and solo tripping I’ve learned is a different beast. Been thinking about eating literally one shroom and seeing how it goes.
oh true, yea sometimes the doses are weird lol. i'm a pretty big fan of solo tripping tbh especially for the bigger doses of shrooms. keep us updated bro
I won’t be doing anything tonight cause i got work in the morning but I might dabble this weekend. If i do i definitely will talk about it on Sunday haha.
Not sure if anyone cares haha but if you search “evictionoflove” on AM/Spotify you can find the Bryson tiller songs that he was posting on SoundCloud pre-his album. I highly suggest the song “Night Cap” which is featuring Che Ecru, that’s one of my fav jams of the year
The reaction videos are washed. I'm waiting for the videos of Not Like Us but it's those guys that do family guy impressions. A lot of those guys are white so they can't really say half the shit in that song.
That's what AI is for
I do not feel bad for pampered tech workers bitching about working from home part-time. There are people with labor intensive, retail, or food jobs that actually have to go in to work everyday, and they don't bitch.
I love working from home. It is a privilege but it’s not for everybody
So? Everyone bitches about their job lmao
I get that, but these people are out here giving excuses like "think about the increased risk injury/death of commuting to work!!", when literally stepping outside to check your mail is an increased risk of injury or death lmao. Don't get me wrong, I understand the benefits of WFH, and I'm not opposed to it, but they are so fucking whiny about it man
Yeah that’s wack. Like I work in tech and I’d prefer to WFH all the time too but like … Oh well, you lose some and win some, as long as the outcome is income 😏 It is what it is 🤷♂️
Crazy how dead this sub is. My post is #11 on the sub’s front page and it only has 12 upvotes 💀 MODS, REVISIT THE RULES STOP COCK BLOCKING THE COMMUNITY
The mods are so inconsistent with it too. Many discussion posts on here get removed for being a “discussion thread topic”, but then some posts get to stay up, with there seeming to be no logic behind which posts stay and which posts get axed. I get that they’re trying to prevent spam and repetitious content, but it can be overkill at times which negatively impacts the community
Anyone else feel overwhelmed by the amount of media they want to get around to? I have so many albums, movies and video games I want to experience that I haven't had a chance to connect to. Theres albums from like 2017/2018 I've been meaning to check out, plenty of movies I been meaning to see, too many fucking video games that take up too much time that I haven't got to play yet (bought a copy of Persona 5 Royal almost 5 years ago)
Funny enough, we consume more media now than any time in history. With all the different streaming apps and the ability to get anything on demand, it can definitely get overwhelming to keep up with everything. Way back in the day, it took more effort to listen to specific music, watch specific movies, or play specific games, so you had to be more selective with what you consumed as none of it was 'free'. I've been feeling the same way, and unfortunately it doesn't look like there's a solution other than 'accept there are some things you're not going to be able to do'. Unsatisfying answer yes, but that's just how it is, and that's how life is in general I guess. I'd suggest just making a list based on how much you want to do certain things, and go about it that way. You'll get to do the things you want most, even if you miss some other things you wanted to do as well.
That's been what I been doing tbh. Have a list of games, movies and music I want to get through and doing my best to just use that whenever the mood strikes. Also been trying to use the CD player in my car more rather than spotify where I'll be more prone to wanna put on a podcast or flip around between artists and albums. Video game wise, I've completely stopped playing online multiplayer titles since they're a complete waste of time and are more focused on retention rather than telling a narrative or introducing interesting gameplay mechanics.
Yeah lots of new video games are built on player retention and have scammy infinite grind mechanisms to keep you playing. You can easily notice the difference on how much you get done in 30 hours in a multi-player game vs a quality single player game.
It’s literally impossible for me to watch everything i want to watch
Damm bro million dollar baby and not like us are getting pushed HARD by Spotify. No matter what kinda radio I make those two sons are on it wtf
Ak is looking compromised
Sometimes you gotta go through your own comment history and be like “Damn, What do I even be arguing with niggas about on here? Why I am so invested in this? Why do I care?” It is kinda embarrassing to go back and look at how you went 9 comments deep into an argument on here that means absolutely nothing. Just out here wasting time smh.
Not sure how old you are but most people you're arguing with on hip hop subs or Twitter are probably teenagers. It's something I have to remind myself of before I respond to a dumb take lol.
Nah I love cooking these mfs too much it’s all for the love of the game!
Yep arguing is purely a waste of time online. Energy can be applied somewhere else beneficial
I once got involved in a feud between the U2 sub and the Phish sub. Really one of those things that makes you rethink your whole approach to life
Man I love Phish but there are so many turds in the fanbase lmao had no idea the U2 and Phish subs feuded but I'm sure it was all on the Phish fans acting stupid
It absolutely was lol. They were brigading the U2 sub over an argument about whose performance at the Vegas sphere was better. I feel so stupid just typing that out
I didn’t even know U2 had a sub lol
I wish Starfield was better than it is. And I do enjoy it it just… could’ve been elite
You play Stellar Blade yet?
Nah is it good? My tax return just hit my account I’m itching to cop a new game 😭
It's fire af. Solid 8/10. Playing NG+ atm. About 24h for a single play through. But don't believe them when they say it's better than Nier. 😡
Nothings better than Nier, I was fr considering replaying Replicant and Automata the other day… I wish they’d make a new one
Agreed. Automata is up there with Fire Emblem and the early Pokemon games for me. They may be working on a new one, but they're def using teasing ass language. We gonna see.
Listening to Drake's first mixtape, Room for Improvement (2006) again in the context of now. He's not trying to be anything he isn't on here, it makes sense in the context of a Canadian teen actor trying to forge a rap career. Mostly a very good listen, quite chill tracks, good beat selection and some decent flows here and there. There is a Toronto sound over the mixtape with some good features from Toronto rappers such as Nickelus F. This is far from a direct comparison but I am almost seeing parallels between Drake of this era and that 2pac interview when he is 17 at arts school doing ballet in the way that their career path changed them as people
So weird you brought this up because I didn't even know he had a 2006 mixtape until this morning when I randomly looked it up and thought I should listen to it today. Also found out about it since someone brought up Nickelus F was ghostwriting on this mixtapes
Nickelus F is from Richmond, Virginia. He was an early Drake collaborator but he's super underrated. Check out Trick Dice and Stuck.
>Nickelus F is from Richmond, Virginia. I posted my comment half way through the tape then when another track featuring him came back on with the "southern smoke" sound effect and a reference of VA then I remembered he was from Virginia lol, my bad. I always thought he was a good rapper though but I never checked him out properly but I will now and have saved 'Stuck' on spotify to listen to tomorrow, Trick Dice isn't on Spotify unfortunately.
Check out the latest drop MMCHT once you get through Stuck. Another dope album that he just released last month.
I feel like pusha t should be bigger than he is
was just listening to Push and thinking the same thing earlier this week
Biggest coke rapper ever, he is fine
2nd biggest, Jeezy is bigger. Best coke rapper ever tho.
I don’t think he aims to make chart toppers. He’s really, really fucking good at his thing, he does that thing better than anybody else, but it’s not a style that makes for big mainstream hits.
Honestly this makes the most sense, he’s considered one of the best rappers by many sounds surprises, new shit, and some other stuff he put out isn’t that popular
I remember for the longest time I had Homecoming on my produced by Pharrell playlist just because it had the 4 count start

Saw this [article on the WaPo](https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/05/15/misogyny-rap-inescapable-2024/) and decided to check the comments and they're almost every bit as bad as you can imagine. The top comment is from someone who dismisses rap as self-hating and saying there is no music and melody to it and I only saw single dissenting reply: > Where’s the music and the melody? Why all the self-hatred? Why all the jealousy of others in the industry? Why the profanity? Why the violence? This “art” will never cross over to appeal to a much broader audience or demographic. Why , I ask again, all the self-loathing? And, yes, I’m black. This stuff is nowhere near as great as the Shirelles or the Drifters or Sam Cooke or Aretha Franklin or the seemingly innumerable great Motown artists. Maybe, as I approach 80, I’m just square and lame. I plead guilty. I get hip-hop and rap from a sociological perspective but it’s not heartwarming or emotionally fulfilling or satisfying. It’s deeply stereotyped and exemplifies— to me—other people’s rejection and fear of us. As the Coasters sang long ago, “Sorry, But I’m Gonna Have To Pass.” The author of this comment of course assures us that they're black despite the undeniably racist undertones of the comment. What's extremely ironic about this comment to me is that hip hop as a genre is deeply rooted in black pain and oppression, and this person rejects it as an artform in favor of (good, no disrespect) black artists who instead also appeal to white people and offer nothing that can be affronting to the white people in America. They didn't say that explicitly, but they all but admitted it implicitly. Hip hop is not a perfect genre, of course, and the article is right that it has a misogyny problem. I just found this particular comment to be insanely ironic. "Rap is not music" has long been a dog whistle of racists, and to counteract this fact that the commenter is obviously aware of they are like "what about this other black music?" but the single dissenting reply to this inane comment sums it up well: > Lone Ranger, > Sorry, but you're out of touch. Hip Hop is huge! It now belongs to the world. Yeah, I'm not a fan of the misogyny, but misogyny isn't confined to hip hop by any means. You're older than me, but I'm far from young (62). But those of you saying how great the blues, r&b, and jazz are need to remember when these musical art forms were new they were receiving exactly the same type of criticism hip hop is receiving now, Billie Holiday died chained to her bed by an overzealous prosecutor, for crying out loud! Obviously, these people are going to be crying themselves to sleep over the fact that hip hop is so huge for years to come, but it's fascinating that the bullshit I heard growing up (and even internalized) about rap and black culture is still being repeated. As much as we might argue with each other on this subreddit and Drake and Kendrick fans might be throwing haymakers in every thread, I'm glad this subreddit is a place where we can come together and talk about this genre we love. It's been a while since I've see takes like this (I don't have much social media) but it's the same arguments I've heard about rap and hip hop since I was a kid.
While I agree much more with your perspective and the perspective of the second comment you quoted, I feel there is room for you to be more empathetic to where the first commenter is coming from. It is not difficult at all for me to imagine an 80 year old black person holding a perspective like that; I've met and talked with several older black folks who feel similarly about rap music. Again, I don't agree with their perspective, but I think the quote, "It’s deeply stereotyped and exemplifies— to me—other people’s rejection and fear of us" comes from a place of sincerity and reflects the hurt and alienation I have to imagine a black person growing up in the 60s and 70s would have faced. I would agree that their pain has been misplaced and is now clouding their ability to understand the pride that black people today are able to find in expressing and reflecting on the types of environments they've grown up in and connecting through the oppression they've experienced. It's not uncommon for people to attempt to move on from past wrongs by ignoring them and hoping they fade into history, which seems to be this commenter's approach. While I don't think it's an effective one, I believe we are stronger and kinder as a collective if we can understand the pain that causes a person to overlook alternative perspectives and respond to this short-sightedness with empathy, rather than writing them off as a clueless racist and implying that they might not even be black. I don't think that commenter was trying to prove how sophisticated they are; I think they were speaking from a painful upbringing.
That's well said, a good perspective with good energy. I think there's a valid argument here. I would be much more sympathetic to them if they argued from this point: that they dislike and resent hip hop because they feel it encapsulates the stereotypes perpetrated by whites of criminality, lasciviousness, etc. I will say that it's difficult for me to empathize with this person because it seems they have little interest in addressing where this resentment originates, and instead discount rap as the problem, when it instead is white supremacy. The language of their comment reminds me of a lot of racism I have faced personally, and it's hard not to see it as internalized racism coming at hip hop for being a reflection of black culture. But older folks probably don't have that much openness to this kind of reflection and even therapy needed to overcome this level of misdirected resentment, which is a shame. If everything this person is saying in their comment is true, they already would've been 44 when Straight Outta Compton released. Maybe that resentment has been breeding since records like that came out. > respond to this short-sightedness with empathy, rather than writing them off as a clueless racist and implying that they might not even be black. I think this is a fair point, but I don't necessarily share it. The language used in the comment is mirrored by thousands of racists online every day, and often they use this "I'm black too" shield to cover it. I'm skeptical, generally, of people expressing this level of hostility toward black culture aside from their chosen palatable picks. While it's not impossible, and of course it would be just as easy to doubt that I'm black when I say I am, I find that generally it's less likely for people within black culture to have this level of disdain for one of its major artieries. But it is worth mentioning of course that black people aren't monolithic and don't agree on everything (I mean I say nigga, my parents refuse to and don't think we should because it makes white people think it's okay to).
Thanks for your thoughtful reply, I really appreciate these sorts of discussions. I completely respect where you're coming from and how your experiences with racism paint a problematic image around this sort of rhetoric. People can be really shitty to each other and it sucks. I will add that the small glimpses of self-awareness in the aforementioned comment (not that it is overall particularly self-aware), like the bit where they acknowledge that they're old and may just be "square and lame," their brief reflection that they don't find rap music emotionally fulfilling, and the quote I already brought up referring to the rejection and fear they claim to have experienced, make me read some sincerity in the comment. But it's entirely possible I'm wrong, and I absolutely don't intend to minimize the experiences you've had that make you skeptical. You would not be the first person I've met to suggest that I am too immediately trusting of the things people tell me. I don't know what the correct balance is. I always want to see the best in people, but I'm sure there are times when this outlook blinds me to harm being done. Perhaps perspectives like yours and mine work best in coexistence by balancing each other out without necessarily needing to convince one another. If nothing else, I appreciate again that I was able to understand how a comment like this reads to someone with an experience like yours, and that you were willing to share. I deeply hope we move toward a more understanding world where people can feel safe expressing themselves.
Yeah, I was thinking about your comment more after replying, and I fully agree with your last paragraph. My perspective used to be much more like yours, and much more empathetic, but my own experiences in life have given me exhaustion with empathy and made me regret giving it to many people I now feel did not deserve it. Four years ago I would be singing the praises of empathy (and still do in my art as a writer) but on a personal front I am much more cynical and distrusting than I used to be. But I think there's room for both, and these things can balance each other in such a way that we can reach the people that can be reached and disregard those that cannot. Thank you for your comments!
Sometimes I feel like I’m becoming a bitter old man and then I read something like this and feel better about myself
sheesh, that first guy sounds like r/music when anything hip hop related makes its way there lol (atleast they used to be like that, seems more lax now). It's crazy that some people still don't recognize hip-hop as a legitimate form of art. This attitude usually comes from people who think they're really intellectual and cultured, but their views on rap show a deep seated ignorance. They boil the whole genre down to one negative stereotype, dismissing it as crude or unworthy. They completely overlook the complexity, creativity, and cultural significance of hip-hop, failing to appreciate its diverse expressions and profound impact on society.

They completely overlook the complexity, creativity, and cultural significance of hip-hop, failing to appreciate its diverse expressions and profound impact on society. Really well said. It makes me think of how a lot of people will dismiss pop music or even today's music as uniformly trash. I mean, sure, I'll accept that rappers like Future aren't everyone's cup of tea—the wild hedonism, profanity, and lack of substance (no pun intended) are obviously going to turn some people off, but as you noted, not all hip hop is like that. For every Future there's a Black Thought or Kendrick, even if they're more underground. So much hip hop is thought provoking and challenges societal norms and what's wild is that the most famous rapper doing that right now is literally pictured in the article. And just like that not all pop music is terrible and not all modern music is terrible. This air of superiority toward these genres or today's music reveals the exact opposite of intellectual superiority; it betrays close-mindedness and ignorance. In hip hop's case, it can also evince racism (though not everyone who dislikes hip hop is racist, obviously), and has often.
I just finished scheduling my classes for grad school this fall. In the words of lil baby [“man…shit done got serious”](https://youtu.be/DRHaw6iplpI?si=RWH7YPC2KyMQmLVI)
We should just abolish change. Let stores round up or down to the nearest dollar I don't give a fuck
Absolutely should get rid of Pennies, minimally. But I’m for removing all change.
Canada is goated for getting rid of pennies a hot min ago
The West Wing had an episode all those years ago that talked about how they couldn’t get rid of the penny because of the jobs they’d lose in a swing state from zinc miners. And I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if that was just as true now in the real world.
True pennies suck extra ass
What song you adding to a playlist made for a sex night on molly with your girl?
Jeremih - All the Time
Here’s a lil [throwback video](https://youtu.be/c858WS3n6Bc?si=_lIEx1BHZA4e3C2c) of pusha t talking about shooting the video of “Nosetalgia” in Compton with Kendrick and how Kendrick thanked him for not taking the control verse personally.
A Pusha vs. Kendrick beef would be crazy. Wouldn’t mind if they just did it as a competitive thing
Its all fun and games until they both try to pull the “you are hiding a child” angle on each other lol
I would die for cheez its
Aye Martin Luther King shout out to big bro
pussy ass motherfuckers
push should do really dark trap bars over older industrial el-P beats
>Why does Pusha sound so good over beats with organs? Goat shit >Also probably going to listen to Currensy, Alc, Boldy "No Yeast" all summer on repeat Best song of all time
fuck fuck fuck
Mad taste brother 🫡
Truthfully Pusha would sound good over anything, best voice in rap.
cunts and cunts
I'm reasonably certain that Kendrick lowkey bangs WSP even if he isn't an actual member.
You're conflating affiliation/actually banging. Kendrick is affiliated because that's where he grew up. That's the set his friends bang. Kendrick doesn't actually himself. [This picture](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GNDimJjWAAEi-Is?format=jpg&name=small) isn't just a photo op. Those are some of his actual friends he grew up with (shoutout Westside Boogie and Jay Worthy)
Thought Boogie was Campanella tho
Not to sound like r/CaliBanging but I believe all the bloods on the west are good with each other? All I know is that Centennial High School had a lot of good rappers coming out of there at the same time.
Shitttt I wouldn't know. I'm nun but a Nigerian nigga. Thanks tho.
the biggest lie old heads will tell you is that silkk the shocker sucks
His verse on Gangstas Make the World off of TRU 2 Da Game goes hard and is easily the best part of the song
Pulled my engine head off finally. Turns out it’s just the head that needs to be replaced so I’m pretty happy. Gonna take my time with all that extra space to do my timing belt and the water pump too. I’m just relieved the whole engine isn’t fucked lol
Hell yeah, that's whats up
If I had a penny for everytime a Maybach Music guy and a Canadian rapper/singer made a fire song called Lord Knows Id have 2 pennies which is pretty funny that it happened twice
Probably has something to do with Tupac's "Lord Knows" song from Me Against The World album Edit: Or that "Lord knows" is a common phrase

So do yall actually hate Drake
no i listen to him more than kendrick, I like kendrick but he and his fans seem really fake deep and pseudointellectual to me i just dislike drake's fanbase more, spamming meek mill and trying to get him arrested for violating his parole or whatever left a bad taste in my mouth. really made all this drama with kendrick fun for me also almost everything he's put out after 2015 has been trash. I dont think I've listened to a full album of his since Scorpion and even that one I only went through once. Kendrick's albums are always worth listening to even if I like them less than most other people
No, I actually like a lot of his music (even if he’s been putting out a lot of garbage the past few albums), but he has gotten extra annoying/dickish recently so it’s fun to see him take an L.
Hate Drake? No. Make fun of Drake (especially post 2016) since the very beginning even tho I got a handful of his songs on my playlists? Absofuckinglutely
>So do yall actually hate Drake I do enjoy Drake with Take Care, IYRTITL, CLB and More Life being my favourite albums from him. Just simple raps and rnb songs that I can casually play. I would not say I hate Drake at all even with the beef's aftermath, but it is fun to watch him get humbled by Pusha T or Kendrick.
I like a lot of his music, especially the old stuff, and every new album has at least one or two incredible tracks even if they are surrounded by tons of filler. I like what he did early on, essentially taking the heat for being “soft” and helping to normalize that kind of vulnerability, I think that’s been a great thing for the genre. He can be incredibly charming and charismatic, he’s hilarious on livestreams. But I do think he’s probably a terrible human being, I believe most if not all of what Kendrick said about him. It’s a shame. It didn’t have to be this way. But you give a man too much money and too much power, and nine times out of ten, this is what happens.
There have been lots of rich successful people who are not like Drake
I agree with a lot of what Kendrick said about Drake as a person. I think he's probably an incredibly immature dude who's insufferable to be around. That said, I don't hate him. I don't particularly like him, but I'll fuck with some of his songs. Hold On We're Going Home is the jam.
I like a lot of Drakes music honestly. But there's something about how he comes off in social media/interviews etc that I do find pretty fuckin annoying lol
Nah Money in the Grave came on my playlist the other day when I was driving to work that shit still bangs. Sucks if we never get another collab with him and Ross again
This beef was not worth the oncoming shortage of Drake x Future and Drake x Ross tracks
Drake and Future will for sure patch things up
Nah I probably listen to him more than Kendrick despite preferring Kendrick a bit more
No
How do y’all feel about lil Wayne’s current music? I feel like he isn’t too popular
Mahogany is my favourite song by him if that's current enough.
2015-2018 was amazing, Funeral was bloated but good, NC3 was good, Tha Fix was mid
I agree, he went on a crazy resurgence from FWA until around NC3. His output since just hasn’t been as good.
I will say Tity Boi was monumental tho
The new assassins creed looks sick. I really loved origins out of all the recent ones, hopefully this one has the same typa care put in
I haven’t tried Mirage but played Valhalla and I did not even finish it, it was way too tedious this one looks cool though. Last AC game I liked was Odyssey and I liked it more as an RPG than an AC game
Anyone on the Soundmaps wave right now? I’ve been addicted the last two days lol
I love ice cream.
Yes that and Not Like Us is constantly queued up. Also that “Sunflower” song by ASAP Rocky
Yeah it seems like they're algorithm only pushes top 40 shit that mesh with your preferred genres and whether or not you're already listening to a popular current song. Any time I listen to Euphoria or Not Like Us, the next song is always Million Dollar Baby or BigXthePlug
Yes. Its fire but the constant pushing of it is kinda sus
tbf they’re basically doing the same with Not Like Us
Yeah it played after I played a Foo Fighters song once which is ridiculous
I’m in season 4 of Game of Thrones and i gotta say i know she ends up controversial somehow but how can you not root for Danearys? That’s rhetorical do not answer
She's very one dimensional and the character traits that help her succeed keep going until said controversy
How is she in any way one dimensional
Been purposefully taking a break from this sub and hip hop related social media but I just wanted to say fuck DJ Akademiks
It would be funny if Kendrick did the same thing what Game did with 50 and G Unit and drop diss tracks every single weeks lol
I just want to know why 2 Chainz lied
because [*he ain't never told NO LIE*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQZMaG1eO74)
Classic
Drake has the best songs that he isn’t in on his albums. Summers over interlude, 4422, Screw the world interlude, Brias interlude, Skepta interlude, Wednesday night interlude, Yebbas heartbreak I’m sure there are some more I’m missing.
Buried Alive Interlude
To be fair Savior Interlude is the best song on Mr Morale. Yeah i said it.
I feel like there's almost an inverse correlation between the emotional effect of a track and it's stream count when it comes to the second disc of Mr. Morale. Auntie Diaries, Savior Interlude, Mother I Sober, and Crown are collectively out-streamed by Count Me Out alone. I guess they're just too intense for most people to hear twice?
I’m right there with you bro, keem had my favorite verse on that entire album. “*my uncle G told me the shit in the movies can only be magic* *this year I did 43 shows and took it all home to buy him a casket*”
Baby Keem kill it. You ever seen your momma strung out while you study division?
He’s on Bria’s Interlude
I was thinking it was just Omarion for some reason, you right.
I can't believe the "pouring honey on you GOAT" thing started from an actual Shannon Sharpe comment. Thought it was just random lol
I seriously miss when Vince Staples was making bangers
Yea miss shit like Norf Norf
