The 96th Academy Awards

@Zainasha_ Right! Mans knew what he was doing by saying it on that podcast smh anyone who’s a fan of KC would know not to put out anything that would fuel any type of hate. He could’ve asked Corey and Amora off camera or emailed KC’s agency.

[♥️, asar @xSaintLamont]

“Not right now” was his answer. The host didn’t accept that and pressed him. His “not right now” turned into a “no”. Had he respected the first answer KC might’ve obliged later off principle but here we are. Cause if you press me bout my answer then ima just change it to a no 🤷🏾‍♂️

[M_ttamara @M_ttamara]

The podcast host had minor spat with KC and his agent at the Romeo Hunte NYFW show.. you can tell the host felt like he was dismissed Chile..

Normalize using words that send people to the dictionary.

And I hate that this is true for me cause I’ll be so excited starting and then I’m questioning why I even thought this was a good idea to waste my time with 😂

“What are its Oscar chances” I don’t know but a good way to enjoy movies is not spending five months treating them like the stock market

[Jorginho🦅❤️ @Jorginh5455501]

WAITTTTTT because this is actually deeper than Hov being mad at Drake 😭😭😭

LIL WAYNE IS THE PROBLEM.

That nigga introduced NICKI MINAJ and DRAKE back to back and BOTH went on to become filthy rich off the very thing JAŸ-Z spent years convincing rap wasn’t enough:

THE FUCKING MUSIC. 😭

Do y’all understand how nasty that is???

For YEARS the JAŸ-Z/Roc Nation gospel was basically rap is the entrance. REAL success is ownership, investments, liquor, companies, equity, “I’m not a businessman I’m a business, man” blah blah blah 😭

Then Lil Wayne comes stumbling out the tour bus with a styrofoam cup and two psychopaths named Nicki Minaj & Drake and accidentally FUCKS THE WHOLE THESIS UP 😭😭😭😭

Because Nicki Minaj became a multimillionaire SUPERSTAR with RAP at the center of her empire.

And Drake??? That nigga took it somewhere disrespectful.

Drake basically said why tf do I need to prove I’m bigger than rap by leaving rap??? I’ll just make being DRAKE worth the business. 😭

Streams. Albums. Singles. Features. Touring. Catalog. Deals built around the value of HIS MUSIC and HIS audience.

That’s why y’all yelling “BUT JAŸ-Z IS A BILLIONAIRE!” never hits the way you think it does.

BITCH THAT’S THE POINT 😭😭😭

We said RAP and you started naming liquor.

We said MUSIC and you pulled out an investment portfolio.

We said RECORDS and suddenly y’all are giving us a Forbes presentation 😭😭😭😭

Meanwhile Drake can sit his ass right there in the original category and make you uncomfortable.

And THAT is what Lil Wayne unleashed that I don’t think people fully understand.

YMCMB produced TWO artists whose careers challenged the idea that the rapper’s ultimate victory was escaping the limitations of being “just an artist.”

Nicki Minaj made FEMALE RAP itself commercially enormous.

Drake made being a RECORDING ARTIST so lucrative, scalable and globally dominant that the old “rapper → businessman = final boss” hierarchy started looking real funny.

Lil Wayne ain’t teach them how to escape rap.

Lil Wayne introduced two motherfuckers(Nicki Minaj & Drake) who made rap worth staying home for. 😭😭😭

THAT is why the Drake/JAŸ-Z tension hits different when you look at the economics underneath it.

Because JAŸ-Z mythology says:

“Look what rap allowed me to become.”

Drake’s career answers:

“Look what I became without needing to stop making RAP the receipt.”

OH THAT’S NASTYYYYYY 😭😭😭😭😭

And the funniest part???

Lil Wayne never had to give a TED Talk about it.

That nigga just said “I got Nicki Minaj. I got Drake”.

And twenty years later Roc Nation gotta explain why the spreadsheet needs liquor brands on it.

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 😭😭😭

YMCMB.

Put the fries in the bag, Shawn Carter. 🍟

cnn was doing a story on how googles ai hacked 3 other companies and my dad pulls out his phone, opens gemini, and says “did you hack other companies” and gemini says smth like “i have no knowledge of that” and he goes “i’m watching the news and it’s telling me you did” 😭😭😭😭

[Derek Heckman @herekdeckman]

Takes like “no one has had a first three movies like Cregger” is what comes from the sportsification of movies. Everything has to be a “run.” Every director has to be “the goat.” You can’t just enjoy many different artists and their art anymore

[Maegz @egghead3am]

@xSaintLamont Perfectly said👌 His work often times goes over a lot of people's heads but I really dislike this thing people do when they don't understand something they start saying it's bad🙄 JUST REWATCH IT!!! I never understood his movies 100% on the first watch

[♥️, asar @xSaintLamont]

@egghead3am And it’s also FUN when you KNOW you missed something and get to discover it on a rewatch or look it up / read theories on it. I look forward to that part when I’m done watching for the first time.

Like NOPE is a great movie for that. So many Easter eggs of real life references.

[♥️, asar @xSaintLamont]

And the beauty of Peele that gets missed with these shallow comparisons is that horror has long been a medium for telling symbolic stories. Peele leans into that use of the genre to give you more than just blood & monsters. He sophisticates what many didn’t take seriously as art.

[Maegz @egghead3am]

This trend of hating on US and NOPE is lame😒 They both hold up great in storytelling and cover very important societal issues just like Get Out. Once again, you don't need to throw shade towards one person's work in order to uplift another. When will yall ever learn that?...

[♥️, asar @xSaintLamont]

Jordan became a three time Oscar nominee and winner in the three categories that spoke directly to HIS direct input - producing, directing, and writing. Off his FIRST project.

Get Out put a notice out on horror and woke people up. So don’t try to minimize it in that run.

[♥️, asar @xSaintLamont]

It’s so YUCK when y’all do this. And you work in the industry, too. To try to put down Jordan Peele to amplify someone else is crazy instead of appreciating the originality that they’re bringing to a genre that’s been speed running haunted houses and exorcism movies back to back.

[The Moonlight Warrior 🌙 @BlackMajikMan90]

Zack Cregger is on the type of run that many thought Jordan Peele would be after Get Out.

[♥️, asar @xSaintLamont]

And then you try to minimize Get Out with this “after Get Out” parameter. No. If you’re comparing runs compare the whole run. And give them the appropriate weight. GET OUT holds extraordinary weight on its own and that was Jordan OUT THE GATE. A much harder achievement.

[Maegz @egghead3am]

This trend of hating on US and NOPE is lame😒 They both hold up great in storytelling and cover very important societal issues just like Get Out. Once again, you don't need to throw shade towards one person's work in order to uplift another. When will yall ever learn that?...

[♥️, asar @xSaintLamont]

@suziebarfield @BlackMajikMan90 @WallProd Like. It literally bashes you over the head with it repeatedly. Which is why I don’t ever understand when ppl say they didn’t get it. Cause if you didn’t get THAT… I can’t help you.
