“Michael didn’t beat us. Rodman did”. Please don’t let these 24 year olds rewrite history like Worm to CHI wasn’t a monumental pick up. First Team All Defense and rebounding champ when CHI got him. SA just let him go bc they were sick of his shit.
Rodman mentioned in his biography that his refusal to guard Dream (bc he was tired of not being appreciated/respected while still always being asked to bail that defense out) at the request of Robinson and the coaches in that 95 SA-HOU series where Dream cooked Robinson and sent SA home was when SA finally washed their hands of him.
In an era where the final scores of playoff games were 88-83, a player who was singlehandedly manufacturing 17 possessions for his team with his rebounding was incredibly valuable. Don’t let them rewrite history.

Drake sends shots at JAY-Z all through ICEMAN after saying he’ll cry when Hov dies

High praise from a GOAT!
LA Reid compares JAY-Z to Nelson Mandela & Barack Obama, stating he’s only met a few men that can walk into a room & completely change the energy of that room for the better. He also reveals Mariah Carey is the person who told him to hire JAY-Z as the president of Def Jam.
“He’s one of the most special people to grace the earth.”
“& I’m not talking about the rapper….i’m talking about the PERSON”.
This is how you know @Akademiks knows that his audience is idiots. This nigga is a whole math major. 🤦♀️ His audience is so damn dumb that this made sense to them. 😩
Nigga if Drake's catalog makes 72 million a day and Drake only gets 1.5 mil of that 72 and Jay Z's catalog makes 8 mil and Jay Z gets 8mil a day off his catalog who is the real winner here? You literally just proved Jay Z's point that niggas a worker.
He literally just confirmed what Jay said them niggas are working for commission checks, while Jay Z is signing the commission checks. 🤨 They are not the same. At all 🤦♀️
“Them crackas got your publishing gangster, go talk tough to them”
The ownership splits of each Drake album tells the entire story of his business relationship with UMG.
Someone told him a long time ago that the value of what he brings to UMG & what UMG provides for him are equal. It’s funny because his fans today would tell you (unprovoked) he brings more value to UMG than they to him. Only problem is, DRAKE doesn’t believe it. Now if he was influenced/advised by someone to give away all of his leverage, that’s a different conversation. But there is no way you can have all this talent, all the leverage, have all of the great creative relationships throughout the industry, be mentored by Lil Wayne, Birdman, AND J Prince… but end up signing these egregious deals. Boy career started in 2009 & still a slave in 2026. With the audacity to ask Kendrick to see his splits 😭
For example, “Thank Me Later”. It’s owned by Cash Money, Young Money, & Universal Motown(somehow) 😂. OVO is nowhere to be listed.
That’s 3 separate companies eating off of HIS creation. 3 companies he has ZERO ownership in. THREE COMPANIES THAT UMG OWNS.
When you dig a bit deeper, you see Cash Money owns Take Care, NWTS, IYRTITL, AND What a Time To Be Alive by itself. How did that happen? Only Birdman knows 🥲
You dig a bit deeper & realize UMG sold the allusion of independence to this d*mb n*gga & he bought it every time. Even on the albums where OVO is listed, Republican is still eating off of it. And Republican is owned by, you guessed it… UMG.
3 slices of an album with mad producers & countless writers. Credited or uncredited.
Now since his fans are obsessed with comparing him to JAY-Z… Hov owns his albums by himself. Except Reasonable Doubt, & that’s split with his real life friend, Biggs. Not UMG or any other label 😭. Also, JAY-Z’s closest understudies all own their masters & are actually independent. Rihanna & J. Cole.
Now just to further drive home the point that Drake is LEVELS below Hov:
JAY-Z can release an album under S. Carter Enterprises, distribute it through Roc Nation, & stream it on Tidal.
3 separate companies HE OWNS or has equity in. It’s called being “integrated vertically”. True independence. It’s more independent than someone like Chance The Rapper because he still has to distribute his music through services he doesn’t own. Being integrated vertically is what Nipsey Hussle preached about. In fact Roc Nation manages Nipsey’s estate & Marathon is integrated vertically. Lauryn & his kids are set for life through the brilliance of Nip, & the direct influence of JAY-Z.
JAY-Z is more independent than any other artist, ever. Which is why he has the biggest target on his back. & these silly ass sl^ves are gladly helping MAGA take down someone they once claimed to admire.
But “good luck with them”. All Offense 2026
“What We Do” was supposed to be a solo Freeway song, but he asked Jay to do the “keep going” adlib & Hov loved it so much he put a verse on it. IN 10 MINUTES. Including “Bullets breeze by you(bayou) like Louisiana”.
He was going to add more to the verse but he had to leave. Beanie Sigel heard it & out his verse on it a day later. The rest is history.
