@CathPoaster True but cities in Asia and Eastern/Central Europe make NYC look like an overpriced junkyard
Richest city in the world yet it stinks like garage and you can get stabbed on the subway lol
@Mbakaza4L If they’re hip hip heads that like mfer like Royce and Mos Def yeah. But all the down south dudes, NY guys, etc just general fans no. Most of em fans are suburban white and international crowds who just love the most popular artists like Drake
Seen Kendrick live multiple times. Of course he throws in the occasional money trees chorus backtrack and tosses a few in. But the large majority of his shows is him just rapping and he’s by far the best I’ve ever seen live rapping.
The single best rapping performance I’ve ever seen was Kendrick Lamar - Rich Spirit Live.
Worst? Wayne, Rick Ross and Drake by far.
Cole lol. I just met the niche they occupy not stylistically. But yeah Cole = Nas, Kendrick = Pac, Drake = Jay-Z def fits.
Cole career is kindve weird bc he started becoming more rappity rap as he matured. Those Johnny P’s Caddy and Pi verses came so late. Early on he was doing Miguel and TLC assisted singles.
I always thought Kendrick felt like an Andre 3000 type. You hear it on GKMC and then TPAB with the musicality of it. Would not be surprised to see Kendrick disappear like Andre one day and walk the streets playing a flute
Explain how this massive hate didn’t start until 2024. Of course a public figure has haters that’s normal but his has been generated artificially, and the eventually real people chime in.
This phenomena is similar to the massive Indian hate on here that is currently viral. Feels organic but it started from a very specific place.
@JayScot0392@nfr_podcast I am it’s obviously hyperbole I’m not actually comparing it to being dropped off in a helicopter for war.
But for individual like Drake having an ego that big, I’m sure it’s something he’ll wrestle with forever. What he went through is way more humiliating than Jay-Z vs Nas
For people they actually loved hip hop, despite Jay-Z being this untouchable behind the scene business mogul, he is an elite MC.
What an incredibly coordinated effort to do something crazy for the fans. Hearing that Free Masons verse on the D’Evils instrumental and then going into Murder Was The Case is insane.
This is the hip hop equivalent of seeing Led Zeppelin live
