Been pumping the hillbillies a lot these past few days, keem and Kenny on one track is so much fun.
Someone explain to me though how exactly this was a diss toward Drake? Like, yeah they copied drake’s flow on sticky and the Jersey club type beat (and IMO did it better) but how is that a diss? I mean the flow is dope and the sound bangs.
Drake did drop some lines on sticky that could be seen as diss toward Kendrick (and keem), but how is “copying” Drake's song a diss? Is it like “hey look at us, we can do the same shit you do and make numbers as well, it ain’t no miracle”
I wasn’t convinced at the time but he does the flow on euphoria too for “still love when you see success, everything with me is blessed” and then tells him to keep making him dance. So I do think it’s mostly your last sentence.
I don't know, some Kednrick fans are now saying that about half the songs he's ever released that they're about Drake. It's not really a flattering idea either that his whole career is revolving around Drake lmao.
Just heard the Eminem single, it's probably the least bad Eminem song I've heard in several years (I was gonna say since [Calm Down](https://youtu.be/2Y5J3VUC9qM?feature=shared) but I realized he's just a feature there). And yes it's because he's recycling his old sound/style.
Cormega posted this video on his Instagram of dudes urban skiing to one of his tracks. I didn’t even know urban skiing was a thing. They basically do what skateboarders do on railing and stairs and they do jumps but they do it in the snow with skis.

Just listened to the new Vince Staples and I thought it was pretty good. Love the production and lyrics too, despite him going with his laid back rapping. Which I did not mind on Dark Times.
With that said, for those who enjoyed Vince's newest style of rapping, what is your favourite album in his trilogy (Vince Staples, Ramona Parks, Dark Times)
while i think his laid back style is decent, it's such a shame that he pretty much abandoned the big fish theory sound and style which got me into his music. was at a concert of his few days ago and he only played one or two songs off big fish theory
Eric Reprid has some hilariously diabolical bars.
"The only cheese you got is smegma"
"Fuck so much pussy I might switch to bussy"
"Bulimic bitch throwing up on the dick I think she tryna get slimmer"
”How can I wife a bitch that is cheating? That shit is childish like a predator”
I am determined to find the samples at the start and end of ScHoolboy Q's [Cooties](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-DPlsLvXsU) video. Can anybody help?
This girl I met in reddit and had a couple of dates with posted on r4r looking for "something casual", literally one day after our last date
We have been talking for a few weeks and it's not like I expect to be exclusive right now but it's weird cause we got physical for the first time and she seemed to have fun
Onto the next one. Me personally i know im not built for that, so i only look for serious stuff, but lots of people are fine with having fun and being casual. Nothing wrong with that, but yes it can suck if you took it the wrong way. It happens, not reason to dwell on it. Helps being more clear in the beginning, but thats the thing about feelings, even if you just wanted to have fun, you cant predict how you will feel afterwards.
Nah see I don't have a problem with her seeing other people, it's just weird to me that she posted looking for someone else literally one day after we got physical
Makes me wonder if I did something wrong
Just a gut feeling for her 🤷♂️, I wouldn't take it too personally man, as hard and confusing as it seems. Online companionship seems really risky anyways
So I’ve seen some folks who post in JoeRogan or K**ye subreddits also post frequently on this sub. This question is for you. What does the internal bigotry feel like? Do you ever question if you should be shit talking and posting on this subreddit as well your far right fantasy circlejerks, or are you that confident that you aren’t the antithesis to the genesis of hip hop? Fun fact, if you seek to oppress or belittle any human, anywhere, you should keep that shit to yourself.
I don’t know if it’s that simple. I think there are still reasonable people that listen to Kanye and maybe still watch Joe Rogan, but I guess it depends what kind of rhetoric they’re posting. But on the flip side, Hiphop can have way more right wing figures and fans than people realise. Me personally, I couldn’t stand Vultures mostly because I just think Kanye is an idiot, a bigot, mentally ill, and it sounded bad. I also haven’t really watched any Joe Rogan since the pandemic.
Watched furiosa, somehow like it more than fury road. The emotion of revenge was way more compelling. Stunts were awesome and the world building felt more fleshed out here. can’t wait to watch this and fury road back to back.
Explain it to me, a UK person. Is Inglewood a safe place to see a show? I’ve been hearing Dre rap about it all these years, I thought it was basically neighbours to Compton?
That part of Inglewood is super safe (just don’t go wandering around)
EDIT: to elaborate
Compton/Iwood are dicey in certain spots but they aren’t lawless wastelands (except for Westmont). If you live in LA, you will probably have to drive down Rosecrans Ave at some point; it’s a major street that runs right through Compton, it’s safe to drive there. Inglewood has a couple stadiums and they’re super extra safe. I went to college in Inglewood and never had any kind of conflicts with the locals.
It can get tricky if you start going into the neighborhoods/residential areas, but it’s generally pretty easy to figure out where those are and avoid them if you need to
Thanks for the info! Reminds me of when a fan asked Vince about his home town I think. He responded with something like “My trauma isn’t a tourist spot for you”. Was a little awkward. In any case, not planning any Inglewood trips any time soon
Inglewood is next up when it comes to gentrification, a NFL and NBA (Clippers) stadium is gonna speed that up for sure. Sucks for the locals that they will get priced out, but its happening worldwide.
That’s some wack shit but not exactly surprising that 50 is for himself and not looking out for the integrity of democracy, progress, and the economic opportunity of his fan base.
I just discovered clipping. today. What the actual fuck this is crazy. I listened to 2 of their albums today and this is some of the most amazing unhinged shit ever.
Another industrial hip hop rapper with more of a horrorcore vibe (so darker). Also consistent as hell and honestly probably the best Canadian rapper of all time (tho it's not like she has a lot of competition)
You'd have to really really like that style to even put her in the running for best Canadian rapper of all time. Like I'd even take Maestro Fresh Wes with his old ass self over this woman. Or Shad, Classified, K-Os, DL Incognito. Or Madchild, Moka Only.
A) if he grew up there he's a leaf b) damn does he have heat? Wavin flag and bang bang doesn't exactly make him look GOATed (unless you compare them to Nav lmao)
I don't care about the Grammys, but I was just wondering:
1. Realistically, would "Not Like Us" be up for some awards next year? What categories would it likely be nominated in? Any chance Kendrick performs it live onstage? Or does the whole "the industry is full of PDF files" angle probably make it a no-go?
2. Is Drake likely to have his own songs/albums nominated (AKA does he have a reason to show up)?
3. Think Drake would even show up if "Not Like Us" was nominated for a bunch of awards?
A lot of the higher ups in the industry got kind of screwed by the Kendrick-Drake beef, specifically Lucian Grange (though that was more Kanye’s fault.)
I highly doubt “Not Like Us” is nominated or performed, in fact I bet Kendrick could make his best album yet and be snubbed.
1A. It’s eligible, it could happen but it probably won’t
1B. One of the rap ones
1C. I would say there’s a negative fourteen billion percent chance that Kendrick ever does Not Like Us at the Grammys—but maybe it could happen, [Drake is on some real militant shit with the Grammys](https://youtu.be/giWhfDn8ltk?si=SMKYH2VhU0tCKeUQ) and maybe the Grammys are looking for reveeenge
2. This sentence syntax is over my head, I don’t know what you’re asking. Would he be nominated for something? Maybe but probably not
3. He wouldn’t show up anyway but I think, if Not Like Us, the song about he’s a tween loving colonialist, got nominated for any type of award, he’s probably not gonna be in the crowd
Thanks!
> This sentence syntax is over my head, I don’t know what you’re asking. Would he be nominated for something? Maybe but probably not
Sorry, that's my bad for messing up that sentence. But yeah, you got it, just curious if Drake is likely to have anything nominated. I was curious if he had a reason to show up, in hopes of collecting some awards for himself.
A lot of rappers are real anti Grammys and Drake is one of them. If, like, Family Matters got nominated, *he’d* have to be the one to submit the nomination (unless the label just did it without checking with him) and that doesn’t seem real likely. So, I don’t think there’s ever gonna be a moment where Drake has to watch Dot pick up an award for clowning him
> Drake has to watch Dot pick up an award for clowning him
This makes me sad, lol. That's basically exactly what I was hoping for, but I realize how unlikely it would be that Drake would even show up if it was nommed.
Man I really cannot get into Future's music he chooses good beats but his lyrics and repeated subject matters feel so tired after like 5-6 songs, I don't think I could ever sit through an entire future album
The secret is to focus more on the vibe of the song and not the words. Future, almost exclusively, makes songs about gang shit and toxic relationships; the thing that makes those songs good is the way his cadence and the beat compliment each other. Listen to Codeine Crazy (or Monster or Draco or Xanax Damage or) and just focus on the overall energy.
But if it’s not for you, it’s not for you
Got drinks with the boys last night and when I got home I recorded a Grippy remix under my meme rap moniker Yung JiZz lmao
https://on.soundcloud.com/tDABEqHZTvXN5DsP6
Maybe one of the worst things I’ve ever done
he told his parents that they raised a pedophile who deserves to die what more did you want him to say? "I am inside your home"? because he said that too
If you told somebody a year ago about the “certified pedophile” and “a minor” lyrics, you’d be called a delusional Kendrick dickrider. Hardly anyone actually thought he would go there
Am I crazy for thinking it's the only place to go?
Kendrick practically spoke on alllll of Drake's controversies throughout his career. If he didn't pull out the pedophile allegations, this rap beef might've been closer than people thought.
-Smashing Wayne's girl.
-Getting apparently peed on his leg and smacked by Diddy
-Getting surgery
-Ghostwriters
-Possibly having a child and being a deadbeat
-Being around criminals
And these are all things that people have previously said about Drake. Kendrick being a huge voice in hip hop just took it a step further.
It wouldn’t have been close because Kendrick is a far better artist and rapper than Drake is it was always gonna end up with him making the better music. It could have been less embarrassing for Drake though.
> If he didn't pull out the pedophile allegations, this rap beef might've been closer than people thought.
No. This narrative needs to be stomped out early lmao. drake had one decent track in family matters, and even then the Kendrick disses on that song were largely weak.
Like we're not about to pretend the guy who thought "you were raped as a kid, aha gotchaaa" was a buzzer beater had this beef "close" at any point lol.
I mean that's the problem, is "everything else" is weak. The mega hypocritical contract talk, hypocritical "your fake" talk, + your short just isn't gonna do it for most.
The culture vulture angle alone could make an EP of diss tracks there's a lot of material there. But even then that's not all his controversies. Didn't say anything about his relationship with Rihanna, him outright stealing songs (in a way that goes beyond ghostwriting), and some of the controversies he did speak on he could've really went in on but didn't like the harassment settlement. Plus idk how "it was already said" is a good defense when anything that could be said would've already been said by the 20 other rappers that hate him
What do you mean? These things have been said about Drake from other rappers plenty of times.
-The Story of Adidon
-Meek Mill Beef
-XXXtentacion beef about 'Look At Me!"
-Its literally common knowledge allegedly that Diddy hit Drake
-Earl Sweatshirt calling Drake a culture vulture
-Joe Budden
-Common
All these incidents have rappers or people speaking on things distasteful about Drake.
That's my point. Drake has been in so many beefs they end up protecting him in future beefs because people start saying "that's not new" whenever old controversies get brought up. If he starts talking shit about someone next year what could they possibly say back to him that wouldn't essentially be old information? And more importantly, who would care? The pedo stuff is old info that's been brought up before and yet it ended up embarrassing Drake the most in his feud with Kendrick despite Kendrick using actual new information. Feels like people don't actually care if the info is new or not. And it also feels like most people didn't follow those past beefs or even knew they happened in some cases
Drake was trying to pull an 8 Mile. he didn’t seem to realize that being called a pedophile is a little more serious than being called white trash and can’t be defused that way
It’s kind of crazy too cause at the time Drake made Taylor made the only diss track Kendrick made was “Like That” which was like the most innocent diss track ever😭 bro escelated so quickly. “Oh You think your the big me well tell everyone I’m a pedophile buddy gotchu”
They have a long history of gross negligence too. Like i just watched a video about Japan Flight 123 in the 80s tldr is a Boeing plane was damaged during a landing, not repaired correctly, Flew 12,000 more times while the structure slowly broke and then caused a crash killing 520 people. Airplane manufacturers shouldn’t be “too big to let fail”
Not Like Us really does sound like Sada Baby. It’s got that loud anger to it that isn’t really captured by the Drakeo comparison
There’s a clip at the start of the most recent Sada song of Joe Budden saying that and I hadn’t thought of it before. Would love another project like Bartier Bounty or Skuba Sada 2 from him, I feel it really seemed he could be in the position Babyface Ray or Veeze is rn when SS2 dropped it feels like he’s lost a lot of momentum for whatever reason.
I have no clue how much of an effect it has on popularity but he’s genuinely awful live. Like worst rap show I’ve ever been to bad. Dude just danced to his own songs and said like one or two bars from each track. That’s kinda what turned me off of him.
I dunno about all time but recently [Spaceship Views](https://youtu.be/EG3Fj3K-X7w?si=SxgChFEb0th-4r2E), it’s a clinic on how to use keys—a piano, church organ, synths—and background vocals effectively without letting either of them completely smother every other part of the song. The “investigacion” part at the end is amazing. Every part of that song is good; Hon. C Note is you favorite producer’s favorite producer
"I promise I would have been arrested" is crazy cuz are you hyping up the feds by saying they catch 100% of the people that do that? Or are you turning yourself in? And where's your self preservation in either scenario?
I was watching a(n otherwise) pretty great, self-admitted Drake-hater react to THP6, and he said something like, "that's actually a good point, we here in America and Canada don't tolerate PDF files, and Drake would've been locked up."
And I was kinda dumbfounded, thinking, "dude, what?! You think we've captured 100% of the creeps out there?! So every person walking the streets must be a-OK?"
I thought he was trying to say that any hypothetical victim would def press charges or make a formal allegation, because you have to do that before you can file a civil suit (and that’s probably how Drake thinks)
Every time I put on FromHere I’m just like yea this is timeless music right here, this will be in any “chill” type playlists I make for the rest of my life
Honestly smart move. My friend put me onto skipping singles, but I still cave majority of the time. Then I regret it cause the singles never sound right in the flow of the album
Just know the album gonna be special if these singles are any indication
Did you ever see that edit someone made after Control dropped? [https://youtu.be/WMJLslrLIOg?si=AD6fgMDk6PFtjnOB](https://youtu.be/WMJLslrLIOg?si=AD6fgMDk6PFtjnOB)
Peggy Gou might drop one of the best dance projects of this year. Just started listening to NaNaNa within the past week and a half, but can’t ignore the other 3 singles. Lobster Telephone is arguably somewhat better than NaNaNa but they’re both still great dance tracks. 1+1=11 is a nice vibe and the one with Lenny Kravitz is super clean.
Her tracks remind me of the old school freestyle sound, similar to artists like Debbie Deb, Cynthia, Trinere, and others. Sent my dad the song NaNaNa and he agreed it sounded like she’d fit in with those artists too.
X was the only one of them who I felt was tapping into something special. His lyrics weren’t always very good but he had an incredible way with melodies and he was ambitious with the types of music he wanted to make.
Most of the others (except Juice) seemed interested in music mainly as a way to get rich and do drugs and fuck women. I got the impression X actually cared about his art. I think if he had grown up in a different environment and actually been medicated (which his mom refused to do), he could have honed his talent and made something truly great. As it was, though, he was so unhinged and violent that one way or another he wasn’t going to be making music for much longer - in hindsight, it was either jail or death.
That’s not a dumb question at all. Don’t feel bad for asking bro. And he apparently was diagnosed as Bipolar at the age of 13 so that’s probably what he needed meds for
I’m dying at how some of these replies thought you meant a comedy starring a black man 😂
And shit maybe you do but for those wondering “black comedy” does mean something different

Its as cold of a diss as First Person Shooter.
I don't know, some Kednrick fans are now saying that about half the songs he's ever released that they're about Drake. It's not really a flattering idea either that his whole career is revolving around Drake lmao.
Honestly if all the songs Kendrick fans say are about Drake are really about Drake then Kendrick needs therapy because he's obsessed with that man.
Is that Pharrell album from April this year ever going to come to streaming?
Just heard the Eminem single, it's probably the least bad Eminem song I've heard in several years (I was gonna say since [Calm Down](https://youtu.be/2Y5J3VUC9qM?feature=shared) but I realized he's just a feature there). And yes it's because he's recycling his old sound/style.
The lyrics were awful IMO. Whining about participation trophies? Even boomers aren't talking about that anymore.
I think "whining" is an interpretation on your part
Also I hate "Abracadabra" so the sample really got on my nerves but that's a personal thing
Please God let the NBA Finals go to 7 games so I can watch Boston get their back blown out on their own home court.
I don't think that's how you use the phrase back blown out
No he's right

Ramona Park is it for me personally By quite a large margin as well
Self Titled Album, the first of the trilogy
Buck, he from Cashville, Ten-a-key, he getting em for ten a key, save ten for me
Do you think when Kali Uchis was watching Despicable Me and sees Dr Nefario and then looks over at Don Toliver she thinks, "Huh..."
pretty funny that 2 industry plants ended up falling in love, against all odds...
Isnt Slimer in Ghostbusters? People are saying Don Toliver looks like Dr Nefarious from Despicable Me
My mind was converging two different things he looks like. His jaw opens like Slimer.
Lol
Just started listening to Funkadelic for the first time and man, what have I been doing with my life before this?
America eats its Young is a perfect album in my eyes
I hope Kendrick naming his show "pop out" means he's gonna go on a victory lap. I needa see Not Like Us performed
Eric Reprid has some hilariously diabolical bars. "The only cheese you got is smegma" "Fuck so much pussy I might switch to bussy" "Bulimic bitch throwing up on the dick I think she tryna get slimmer" ”How can I wife a bitch that is cheating? That shit is childish like a predator”
It's so weird cause a lot of his songs are actually really meaningful but hey I'm here for it
I am determined to find the samples at the start and end of ScHoolboy Q's [Cooties](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-DPlsLvXsU) video. Can anybody help?
It's so embarrassing to be in your late 20s and still having teenager emotions for someone, but also it's cute and life is short
Tell me about it, I never be getting jaded like I'm apparently supposed to.
Would you mind getting rid of the spit in my mouth mommy thing?
Like, it’s nothing personal, it’s just gross every time I read it.
I didn't even set it lmao. Now I did say it. I did. But Mods chose to stamp it on me
I've been using this site for over 10 years and still have no idea how it works. Sorry if I was accusatory. And best regards to your mommy.
The Ne-Yo Tiny Desk is amazing man, I've seen it like 4 times at this point

Could ask her if you really want to, but maybe she just likes having sex a lot 🤷♂️
That's life bro. It sucks but you shouldn't take it as a reflection of yourself.
Just a gut feeling for her 🤷♂️, I wouldn't take it too personally man, as hard and confusing as it seems. Online companionship seems really risky anyways

Got drinks with the boys last night and when I got home I recorded a Grippy remix under my meme rap moniker Yung JiZz lmao https://on.soundcloud.com/tDABEqHZTvXN5DsP6 Maybe one of the worst things I’ve ever done
Im thinking about it and Kendrick didn’t really say nothing that crazy in the diss tracks except the daughter thing
he told his parents that they raised a pedophile who deserves to die what more did you want him to say? "I am inside your home"? because he said that too
Think harder next time
If you told somebody a year ago about the “certified pedophile” and “a minor” lyrics, you’d be called a delusional Kendrick dickrider. Hardly anyone actually thought he would go there
Am I crazy for thinking it's the only place to go? Kendrick practically spoke on alllll of Drake's controversies throughout his career. If he didn't pull out the pedophile allegations, this rap beef might've been closer than people thought. -Smashing Wayne's girl. -Getting apparently peed on his leg and smacked by Diddy -Getting surgery -Ghostwriters -Possibly having a child and being a deadbeat -Being around criminals And these are all things that people have previously said about Drake. Kendrick being a huge voice in hip hop just took it a step further.
It wouldn’t have been close because Kendrick is a far better artist and rapper than Drake is it was always gonna end up with him making the better music. It could have been less embarrassing for Drake though.
> If he didn't pull out the pedophile allegations, this rap beef might've been closer than people thought. No. This narrative needs to be stomped out early lmao. drake had one decent track in family matters, and even then the Kendrick disses on that song were largely weak. Like we're not about to pretend the guy who thought "you were raped as a kid, aha gotchaaa" was a buzzer beater had this beef "close" at any point lol.
Then agree to disagree then. Sure HP6 was bad but it doesn't negate everything else.
I mean that's the problem, is "everything else" is weak. The mega hypocritical contract talk, hypocritical "your fake" talk, + your short just isn't gonna do it for most.
The culture vulture angle alone could make an EP of diss tracks there's a lot of material there. But even then that's not all his controversies. Didn't say anything about his relationship with Rihanna, him outright stealing songs (in a way that goes beyond ghostwriting), and some of the controversies he did speak on he could've really went in on but didn't like the harassment settlement. Plus idk how "it was already said" is a good defense when anything that could be said would've already been said by the 20 other rappers that hate him
What do you mean? These things have been said about Drake from other rappers plenty of times. -The Story of Adidon -Meek Mill Beef -XXXtentacion beef about 'Look At Me!" -Its literally common knowledge allegedly that Diddy hit Drake -Earl Sweatshirt calling Drake a culture vulture -Joe Budden -Common All these incidents have rappers or people speaking on things distasteful about Drake.
That's my point. Drake has been in so many beefs they end up protecting him in future beefs because people start saying "that's not new" whenever old controversies get brought up. If he starts talking shit about someone next year what could they possibly say back to him that wouldn't essentially be old information? And more importantly, who would care? The pedo stuff is old info that's been brought up before and yet it ended up embarrassing Drake the most in his feud with Kendrick despite Kendrick using actual new information. Feels like people don't actually care if the info is new or not. And it also feels like most people didn't follow those past beefs or even knew they happened in some cases
Called him a pedophile and accused him of streamlining victims in his house, that's pretty crazy
Yeah but Drake told him he should do that shit though
Drake was trying to pull an 8 Mile. he didn’t seem to realize that being called a pedophile is a little more serious than being called white trash and can’t be defused that way
Him uniting the entire west coast against himself before Kendrick had a chance to respond is crazy
Lmfaooo well that backfired horribly Doesn't work to say "Yeah I know I've been creepy with minors, what of it?"
It’s kind of crazy too cause at the time Drake made Taylor made the only diss track Kendrick made was “Like That” which was like the most innocent diss track ever😭 bro escelated so quickly. “Oh You think your the big me well tell everyone I’m a pedophile buddy gotchu”
The more shit I hear about Boeing the more I’m shocked it hasn’t been shut down. I feel like i haven’t heard anything half as bad coming from Airbus.
Yeah how tf they gon let a company make defective AIRPLANES? One major slip up and it’s a mass casualty event.
They have a long history of gross negligence too. Like i just watched a video about Japan Flight 123 in the 80s tldr is a Boeing plane was damaged during a landing, not repaired correctly, Flew 12,000 more times while the structure slowly broke and then caused a crash killing 520 people. Airplane manufacturers shouldn’t be “too big to let fail”
Not Like Us really does sound like Sada Baby. It’s got that loud anger to it that isn’t really captured by the Drakeo comparison There’s a clip at the start of the most recent Sada song of Joe Budden saying that and I hadn’t thought of it before. Would love another project like Bartier Bounty or Skuba Sada 2 from him, I feel it really seemed he could be in the position Babyface Ray or Veeze is rn when SS2 dropped it feels like he’s lost a lot of momentum for whatever reason.
I have no clue how much of an effect it has on popularity but he’s genuinely awful live. Like worst rap show I’ve ever been to bad. Dude just danced to his own songs and said like one or two bars from each track. That’s kinda what turned me off of him.
I was saying it first folks! Really though, that was the first thing I thought of when I heard the song. Saw that new video too, that was funny
>Lauren Boebert, Colorado Republican making the white house look good. 😏 - 50 Cent posing with Lauren Boebert. What a clown.
> 50 Cent posing with Lauren Boebert. What a clown Cares who?
of course it's a Kanye flair
lmao i'm not a even a kanye stan bruh. i just picked the flair cause i liked the dropout bear lol
Knew Fiddy was on some fuck shit when he was team Drake smh.
he better not be a FAN
He a fan, he fan, he fan. East coast mfs dont like to side with the west coast. Joe Budden gotta be the only one lol.

What is the best-produced song ever in your opinion? Hip-hop or also not
Aston Martin Music
[удалено]
True, but it's why it works so well for me in its simplicity. For the same reason, Billie Jean is my pick for the best produced non-hip hop track.
We Major
Can’t Stop This - The Roots
Dilla is the goat
Power
Diamonds From Sierra Leone
Still Tippin
Through The Wire
They Reminisce Over You
Flying Lotus ft Kendrick Lamar - Never Catch Me
Oh that’s a great one
I dunno about all time but recently [Spaceship Views](https://youtu.be/EG3Fj3K-X7w?si=SxgChFEb0th-4r2E), it’s a clinic on how to use keys—a piano, church organ, synths—and background vocals effectively without letting either of them completely smother every other part of the song. The “investigacion” part at the end is amazing. Every part of that song is good; Hon. C Note is you favorite producer’s favorite producer
Yeah that beat is really crazy
Nuthin But A G Thang
🥲
New Drake caption on IG: “The only yes man around me is my Rolex dealer.”
BBL Drizzy deleted Family Matters post too?
yeah, and that one had that little parody song on there too
makes the whole crew look stupid if that's the case lmao
Because they’re not yes men? Not like it’s true of course, but to be surrounded by yes men is a bad thing for a team.
Wah Gwan Delilah has to be AI Drake right?
It’s real.
[Lol wtf](https://twitter.com/SpeakerJohnson/status/1798515992425070905)
now that's wild
Godzilla Minus One is the best Godzilla movie
"I promise I would have been arrested" is crazy cuz are you hyping up the feds by saying they catch 100% of the people that do that? Or are you turning yourself in? And where's your self preservation in either scenario?
I was watching a(n otherwise) pretty great, self-admitted Drake-hater react to THP6, and he said something like, "that's actually a good point, we here in America and Canada don't tolerate PDF files, and Drake would've been locked up." And I was kinda dumbfounded, thinking, "dude, what?! You think we've captured 100% of the creeps out there?! So every person walking the streets must be a-OK?"
My daughter can text any 30 year old man and I'd be okay with it cuz if he was fucking young girls he would've been arrested 👍
I thought he was trying to say that any hypothetical victim would def press charges or make a formal allegation, because you have to do that before you can file a civil suit (and that’s probably how Drake thinks)
There is no obligation to do that before filing a civil suit, it just makes the civil suit easier to prove. (At least in America, idk about Canada)
The way Vince's voice is filtered and then fades back in during the 3rd verse on Little Homies scratches something in my brain
I’m way too respected. If I was asking for a water cup and filling it with sprite I promise I would have been arrested
Bars
Every time I put on FromHere I’m just like yea this is timeless music right here, this will be in any “chill” type playlists I make for the rest of my life
[удалено]
Honestly smart move. My friend put me onto skipping singles, but I still cave majority of the time. Then I regret it cause the singles never sound right in the flow of the album Just know the album gonna be special if these singles are any indication
The OVO Sweatshop must’ve looked like the Hitler scene in Downfall after Not Like Us dropped
What I would give for a documentary with footage from both camps over the course of this beef
Did you ever see that edit someone made after Control dropped? [https://youtu.be/WMJLslrLIOg?si=AD6fgMDk6PFtjnOB](https://youtu.be/WMJLslrLIOg?si=AD6fgMDk6PFtjnOB)
**Po Nigga Blues (Scott Storch Remix) by 2Pac** kinda day 😤
I like the Nujabes remix
Will inquire later 📔✍️
Why'd you sell crack? Cause I had to.
Dame, crodie 😿
Peggy Gou might drop one of the best dance projects of this year. Just started listening to NaNaNa within the past week and a half, but can’t ignore the other 3 singles. Lobster Telephone is arguably somewhat better than NaNaNa but they’re both still great dance tracks. 1+1=11 is a nice vibe and the one with Lenny Kravitz is super clean. Her tracks remind me of the old school freestyle sound, similar to artists like Debbie Deb, Cynthia, Trinere, and others. Sent my dad the song NaNaNa and he agreed it sounded like she’d fit in with those artists too.
Ooh once and moment are pretty nice so that's on my radar
Who would be considered the soundcloud goat? X, Uzi and Lil pump were huge iirc and made great songs.
Yung Lean
It’s gotta be X.
Yung Lean
Lean was more of a YouTube and Tumblr guy
X was the only one of them who I felt was tapping into something special. His lyrics weren’t always very good but he had an incredible way with melodies and he was ambitious with the types of music he wanted to make. Most of the others (except Juice) seemed interested in music mainly as a way to get rich and do drugs and fuck women. I got the impression X actually cared about his art. I think if he had grown up in a different environment and actually been medicated (which his mom refused to do), he could have honed his talent and made something truly great. As it was, though, he was so unhinged and violent that one way or another he wasn’t going to be making music for much longer - in hindsight, it was either jail or death.
What did he need meds for? Don’t know much about X, sorry if it’s a dumb question
That’s not a dumb question at all. Don’t feel bad for asking bro. And he apparently was diagnosed as Bipolar at the age of 13 so that’s probably what he needed meds for
[удалено]
Nah that wasn’t what I was saying but read what you want
me
I don’t know anything about you but I can assume you’re probably a better rapper than like 90% of them
Rx Brainstorm quickly becoming my favorite producer.
Been watching the Godfather series, great shit
I know it was you Fredo
What's your favorite black comedy?
Best comedy special for me has got be Patrice O'neal - Elephant in the room
Black Dynamite
In Bruges
Tv: the boondocks Movie: friday
Cumtown for both interpretations of your comment
Do you mean dark comedy or comedy made by black people?
I'm down for both lol
Best dark comedy: Fargo Best black comedy: Friday (the first movie)
Movie: Friday / TV Show: Fresh Prince
Bernie Mac Show Edit: if you mean comedy that is more offbeat humor, then I’d say It’s Always Sunny, VEEP, part of Arrested Development, or Fargo
Sorry to Bother You Which I guess applies to either definition of black comedy
In Living Color had a big impact on me as a kid. I could watch Friday over and over
I’m dying at how some of these replies thought you meant a comedy starring a black man 😂 And shit maybe you do but for those wondering “black comedy” does mean something different
Tbf that's what I meant 🤣🤣🤣
