Real G moving in silence

Just say you rhyme/sing over snares and 808s. We're not going to keep lowering the bar on what qualifies as a rapper.

[Top 2 Not 2 @BarryWebber7]

Don't call yourself a rapper if you can't find a pocket over a beat and spit even a written. That's bare minimum. If you can't do that then you shouldn't be on an XXL cover.

[Kurrco @Kurrco]

Rich Amiri says XXL Freshman Cyphers in 2026 are a "trap":

"If XXL is supposed to introduce new artists, the format gotta evolve with the generation it's covering.
Dis current format is not a showcase, that sh*t is a trap."

@UnoThatOneGuy The guy who wrote Rewind doesn't have extended schemes and wordplay? I Gave You Power isn't a masterclass in personification? Beat Breaks and Verbal Intercourse aren't littered with internal rhymes and multis?

There was a very popular account here that impersonated Jay-Z for MONTHS and nothing happened.

[The Angryman @AngrymanChannel]

Druski did a whole Jay-Z impersonation at the BET Awards and the entire room — the culture, the industry, the legends — laughed WITH him. Sit with that. There was a time nobody would dare. Respect that has to be enforced was never respect, it was fear, and fear has an expiration date. The second a room feels safe enough to laugh at the king, the crown already slipped. Power you have to demand is power you're already losing. The throne is rented, not owned. You feel me?

Purely off grading performance Jay and Kendrick might take the edge too. Wayne's hits catalog is not all that good, imo, as his deep cuts unless he's playing featured tracks.

[Top 2 Not 2 @BarryWebber7]

Jay, Kendrick and maybe Future depending on song choice is competitive. 50 is getting washed and the other two it's no contest.

[doomstan1 @mfdoomstan1]

Ngl he’s getting smoked by Kanye, Jay, Drake, Kendrick and Future in a versus. Maybe even 50

People just saw the Avengers get smacked and they were marketing Captain Marvel as almost being the key to beating Thanos so people wanted to see what's up.

[Top 2 Not 2 @BarryWebber7]

This ignores that Captain Marvel was uniquely positioned as required viewing for the next Avengers.

[Paul Tassi @PaulTassi]

You are not gonna convince me Milly Alcock saying liberal things is the reason Supergirl bombed, when harassed to living hell Brie Larson's Captain Marvel made $1.1 billion. You guys don't matter as much as you think

[Top 2 Not 2 @BarryWebber7]

@frostedtakes_ Feel like he's been more likely to turn an ok beat into a bad song with poor choruses or concepts than outright picking bad beats.

[Top 2 Not 2 @BarryWebber7]

@frostedtakes_ He's had a few stinkers but even on his worst projects like Nastradamus he'll have a Project Windows. Plenty of iconic ones too like you said Made You Look, One Mic, NYSOM, Nas is Like, etc. that people still use for freestyles to this day.

We're talking top 5-10 intelligence and he can't leverage that to get some grants or something? He can't build an app to have some passive income?

[Top 2 Not 2 @BarryWebber7]

There really shouldn't be any reason, in universe, someone as smart as Peter Parker should live like this.

[Mr. Two-Million, CCHt @Venom2Million]

Ohhh. So he's "broke".

90% of meme culture is others referencing stuff they heard others say without knowing the context or origin, just an implicit understanding of meaning.

Well there was this one thing that happened in the 1800s that threatened to tear the Union apart.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Trump: These are hardcore, godless communists, they are godless communists, all communists are godless. They don't believe in God. This is the most serious threat to our country since its existence, in my opinion, 250 years ago. This is a major threat to our country

[Top 2 Not 2 @BarryWebber7]

Sounds like all the more reason to investigate because people who've done nothing wrong shouldn't fear being investigated.

[Pop Base @PopBase]

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson on the November 2026 midterm elections:

“If we were to lose the midterms, these Democrats will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body. They’ll go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, friends, half of you in this room will be targeted.”

[Top 2 Not 2 @BarryWebber7]

I know asking for a baseline in voter education is rife with potential for abuse and discrimination, but genuinely it does not feel fair that people like this can participate, to a degree, in decisions that will affect millions.

🚨 Rory, Mal and Demaris say Black music isn’t staying on the charts like it used to

The crew say albums are still debuting at the top of the charts, but songs aren’t showing the same staying power they once did.

Mal says it’s surprising J. Cole’s latest album became his first studio album to spend less than a year on the Billboard 200 despite having such a huge fanbase.

They point to J. Cole, Drake and Chris Brown as examples, arguing the way people consume music has changed.
