@LONGLIVE47@shegonhurtmetoo@shazzbeenhere@mikemgz “They genetics been synthetic, screamin' they genius
A finger wave, they all fall, niggas is Jenga“ - easily applies to Cole lol
He’s a sweet man but I’m not tryna hear not one noun or verb talking about “im the best” raps lol
“My next update, the jig is up
Nigga, I'm up ten
Wrong chart, champ, you gotta look up again
Niggas look up to Hov, I never looked up to them
Them crackers got your publishin', gangster, go talk tough to them
Don't talk success to me, you niggas is workers
In perpetuities, how your contracts is worded
Don't make me go f— man
The Roots remember, even when the trees pretend
Not too much on my name
Don't forget who I am“
This also doesn’t mean albums with high replay value aren’t good obviously lol. There’s some that have both like Get Rich, Take Care, GKMC. But I mean look at all the great wutang albums, nas etc they’re so phenomenal but ppl aren’t listening to them daily. This is where the disconnect lies between pop stans and rap fans
I prefer equity + freedom over a bigger check that comes with strings attached. Drake’s $400M is front-loaded cash from a label that still owns a big piece of his music. Jay built real ownership and control. I’d rather own my shit and be free than take a larger advance while someone else controls my catalogue. Checks are nice obviously I’m not saying the money is worthless it’s more than entire bloodlines make. But owning the asset that prints money forever is better.
@SmokeyAndLit Just listen to music you like lil bro you’re allowed to like Drake. You can shit on Kendrick you’re allowed to like it if he drops another GKMC too
Bro these new age listeners thinking they found secret J. Cole songs. We heard clouds, we heard Johnny ps caddy, we heard plate of collard greens, pi, 39 intro. He’s great but he’s not Kendrick Lamar. 2010 Kendrick was doing this shit.
And in actuality, yes these verses are highly technical and mult-syllablic. But shit like “I caught a lot of murder charges turned artists in martyrs”.
1) that is so cap it’s like empty calories. 2) he does a lot of filler lines simply to rhyme words. And someone like Kendrick makes sure every word counts when he’s rapping technical. Everything has purpose, entendres, etc while simultaneously being technical.,
@whoisvivour02@Sweeegu@coreysmith2977 Thank Me Later, So Far Gone, NWTS, Take Care, IYRTITL, WATTBA, More Life, Views, Scorpion >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
CLB, FATD, Iceman, HL, HN. Not even in the stratosphere of value no shot. And the former are by far his best works
@erenwasrightt Depends if you’re just talking streams Drake win using hold on we’re going home and one dance. If we’re talking Versuz? Hov does to him what Jadakiss did but infinitely worse and it trends on social media for 3 years straight
