My favourite song of all the ones I’ve ever made

2016 was the first time I heard Santan Dave, it was because of Drake. I didn't have a phone that could stream, so i had to beg my friend to help me download and send it to my email because that song was too good.

9 years later and Dave has remained true to his music. He is 3 years younger than me but he inspires me so much. God bless him and his mother.

Until 1990, Madrid had 6 more UCLs than Barca.

Then came Cruyff. He revolutionized football. Barca's best generation came along, from Ronaldinho to their greatest ever player Messi. They dominated Europe with Tiki Taka.

Now Real Madrid has 10 more UCLs than Barca 😭

Harry Kane is drenched in beer and his family couldn't be happier, yet when I come home drenched in beer I need to "support our family" and "stop making the kids sad"

Woke nonsense.

31 years ago today.

Russell Simmons passed on Nas’ demo, famously claiming that Nas sounded too much like G Rap. translation: great but unsalable. he signed Warren G instead. Illmatic dropped, and is widely regarded as the greatest rap album ever made.

Illmatic was the bridge. Melle Mel and Kurtis Blow, to Run-DMC, to Rakim, the Juice Crew, and Big Daddy Kane. now Nas. everyone said he had next since Large Professor brought the chipped tooth kid sporting Gazelles into the studio.

the more you listen to Illmatic, the more haunted it feels. when you’re younger, it clubs you with its hail of words and the skeletal beauty of its beats. but the older I get, the more it strikes me as a teenaged requiem for those still living. “Old Soul�� is the sort of stock phrase used by yoga teachers and amateur psychics, but it always fit Nas. he’s 20 and prematurely nostalgic, struck by memories of park jams and watching “CHiPS.”, when Shante dissed the real Roxanne, and how much he misses Mr. Magic.

Illmatic is a story of a gifted writer born into squalor, trying to claw his way out of the projects. It’s somewhere between The Basketball Diaries and Native Son, but Jim Carroll and Richard Wright couldn’t rap like Nas. not many can.

39 minutes and 51 seconds of perfection.

So, Spotify wants us to believe the same amount of people are listening to Doechii as Carti? Let’s be serious for a second. He just debuted w/ 298k units & she debuted w/ 11k.

And y’all wonder why I don’t take these Botify stats seriously
