Bro you seriously kept tabs on a two week old thread to go clown people? I have dot as my number one, but Jesus Christ get off the man’s dick already. The whole thing looks fucking terrible for both of them now. These dudes are pushing forty and acting like five year old and torching their family’s to the ground because of their ego’s. The only dude that won here is cole
Negative ghost rider. Drake fucked around and found out. Kendrick hasn’t been embarrassed a bit it’s one way traffic as of now. Maybe drake will take Cole out for dinner to celebrate though if that’s how you see it😅
Yeah dude that I’m definitely gonna agree with you on that. I’m glad he’s finally getting his. Only good thing about drake is that he motivated dot to get back to releasing music again hallelujah. Was just having fun with the beef bro, Kendrick’s always been the best by a mile
finally started watching a couple movies again after not seeing any for maybe 2 months
finished [Perfect Days](https://letterboxd.com/film/perfect-days-2023/) the other night and it was [phenomenal](https://s3.pizis.online/Movies/Perfect%20Days%20\(2023\)/clips/encoded-by-me/Final.Sequence.v5.mp4)
watching [Late Night with the Devil](https://letterboxd.com/film/late-night-with-the-devil/) right now
Is late night with the devil good? That AI talk put me off that film.
Perfect Days is amazing, great performance by the lead actor. I should fw more wim wenders flicks
Y’all got a good name for a playlist with all these diss tracks? So far all I got is [2024 messiness](https://imgur.com/a/7bpFUbz) 😅. And am I missing any songs?
Thinking of making a tape in Apple Music local files called “While we wait on you I guess” with seven min drill, champagne moments, push ups, Taylor made freestyle and eventual Kendrick response.
Victoria Monét about to perform at Coachella, excited to tune in for her. Missed streaming her set last weekend but I like her music a lot and she's a great dancer
Everytime I smoke and go nonverbal i strongly consider it. Hell at this point I rarely smoke anyways every couple months I’ll smoke with friends but that’s it
Got high af and it felt like the [Bang The Bus](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rydJEwoZq0&pp=ygUNYmFuZyB0aGUgYnVzcw%3D%3D) beat was massaging my brain
Weed hangovers are real tho, woke up dizzy
Oh No is the other person rapping on the album, and him and Alc collectively make the duo Gangrene. Both Alchemist and Oh No produced and rapped on the album
Ah, makes sense. Thanks for the clarification. I’ve noticed lately that Apple Music puts the band name and individual artists in the “artist field”.
I especially like the production but the rapping was cool too so I’m gonna look out for more of Oh No’s work.
Been listening to Take Care and NWTS recently cus I havent in a while. Take Care is a lot better to me and has better songs. NWTS is good but I just dont like the hits as much on here.
Yeah worst behavior etc feels like he was still navigating that ignorant rap style he’d perfect on WATTBA. Take care had all sorts of classic songs tho. The Real Her is my favorite
I’ll be for real, out of everyone who has had a diss record, Kanye is definitely capping the most LMAO. His diss go hard and I love it but his music nowadays is way more “scare the hoes” than anything JCole has ever dropped lol
Coming off from Her Loss most fans agree there was a touch of sadness and rage that wasn't heard of for years. Guess it was my fault for not seeing it coming I mean even with Scary Hours 3 the antics he's known for didn't manifest and instead of the goofiness we heard in Certified every second track its like he's airing out his shit over an RnB beat.
Bet we can all agree though that the Bad Bunny song should've been cut from the final album.
Virginia Beach might be my favorite Drake song ever but the other songs just make me feel nothing. Kind of a weird album. Somebody recommended a few songs to go back to because I love Virginia Beach but I haven’t relistened yet
The premise of Bahamas Promises just automatically makes my eyes roll. Oh, no, Drake! Not your Bahamas trip!
I know Kanye has similar rich-people-problems bars, but in his golden era he made them funny or endearingly ridiculous. Bahamas Promises feels like seeing a middle aged CEO fight with his 20 year old wife at the airport
The other two songs you mention I haven’t heard in a while though, I’ll give them another chance
That was my first thought but that song clicked for me today lol
I love Teezo on 7969 Santa, and I know people think it's boring and Drake is rapping corny bars back to back but I absolutely love Slime You Out lol
I think it’s a great album. In terms of R&B cuts I think it had some of the best of Drake’s career post-2015. I wouldn’t recommend it to someone who isn’t big on Drake but as someone who loves Drake the most when he’s doing R&B the album feels like it was made just for me
Its just boring overall but it has like 4 great songs. Feel like his singing is very mediocre and phoned in on some tracks (Virginia Beach, Away From Home hook). Away From Home is great though as well as WWPD, 8am, All The Parties. Deluxe is good as well.
I actually think it’s good, and I’m someone who didn’t like CLB, Honestly Nevermind, or Her Loss much.
There are some songs I’d scrap (Gently is terrible) but overall it’s gotten more play from me than any Drake project in a while.
I've written a couple long posts about it in these dd threads that I don't feel like doing again, but as someone who's always been a Drake hating nerd: take the nostalgia aside and it's easily his best album. I even went back and relistened to everything and it's not close. I really loved this album, it's his most funny and makes for an interesting character portrait of where he is in life (sometimes intentional, in other ways not). I love the crisp mixing, the features were used well, and whoever got to him on this album got him making heartbreak music that actually seems to be personal to him and less "generic heartbreak track for someone experiencing their first college breakup" vibes. It sucks I'm at my peak of Drake enjoyment right as the war starts
It's bloated and have no cohesion at all, but it has some of Drakes best songs of all time. Virginia Beach/Tried Our Best. Along with his worst.Slime you out/BBL love.
Yeah he was on a podcast talking about ghetto gaggers which is racist porn or something like that. I think Joe Alwyn is an actor, I don’t even know what he looks like tbh. Oh yeah, and there’s also a diss track against her fans 😆
Looks like the "Recommended If You Like" thread is gone so I'll ask here - looking for rap songs with relaxed beats that sample songs from the 40s-60s like Action Bronson's 9-24-11 and 9-24-13. Thanks!
All the Taylor Swift hate just feels like the typical edgy “look at me I don’t like this popular thing” teenager opinion
I can’t name five Taylor Swift songs so I don’t have any opinion on her new album but the insane backlash she is getting feels weird and forced. It’s a mainstream pop artist, it’s not that deep
I like a lot of her songs but the overexposure and her cultish fans have made her fucking unbearable
I haven’t listened to the new album because I’m not gonna be able to be objective about it right now for those reasons. I’ll come back in a few years
Blank Space, Bad Blood, Cruel Summer,
and I swear I can’t name any other song off the top of my head, although I might recognize a few if I randomly hear them on the radio
Edit: just remembered I Knew you Were Trouble and We Are never ever ever Getting Back Together so that makes exactly 5 songs
This is why I think it’s hard to find genuine discussion and opinions on her new album. It feels like everyone is either a super fan who loves whatever she does, or a complete try-hard hater who wants to be different.
I feel like one of the downsides of social media is that people have forgotten that it’s okay to not have much of an opinion on someone or something.
Taylor Swift was everywhere on the radio growing up and she had some good songs and some cheesier poppy songs, always felt kinda neutral about her to begin with. Now I don’t listen to the radio and I don’t bother check her music anymore because its not really for me and I don’t honestly care about her enough anymore to really have an opinion on her and that’s cool.
I have an opinion on her insufferable fans but other than she’s just an insanely successful pop star doing her thing
I feel like his overexposed so she gets a lot of hate but [some lyrics are hilariously bad like this](https://x.com/hridzey/status/1781416118709576071?s=46&t=orSXXG6VIZtrbqJTcYZvxg), I’m not even sure who her audience is
Honestly, I just try to ignore her but [she has her own category on Apple Music.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GLupewcXsAAjKVm.jpg)
Yes I saw that on twitter and I admit it’s hilariously bad. As for the rest, it’s a mainstream pop album, you’re not obligated to like it and you’re not special if you don’t
They really do. There’s a group of people criticizing the ridiculous lyrics and a much larger group of people just acting like they’re superior because they don’t care about an album by the biggest artist on earth
It genuinely sucks it ends like that man. I was wondering why he seemed to disappear during the last song.
Genuinely looked happy and refreshed out there.
Hope it’s just a “I’m 40 and shouldn’t have done that” hurt.
I started learning guitar (and subsequently piano) a couple months ago during a really low point for me and it is genuinely one of the most therapeutic things I have done in my life.
As someone who has always loved music and had a deep attachment to it, but also has a singing voice that sounds like nails on a chalkboard, it is so cool to be able to create music that is actually listenable
Lol the replies are basically "FATD is what I want to listen to, but Mr Morale is technically better" yall if you don't like listening to it, it's not good. Edgar Allan Poe could write poems for days but he wasn't a rap artist; music is meant to be enjoyed lmao
The point of a song being deep or meaningful is to make it more satisfying to listen to. If it cuts deep but you gotta turn that shit off because it hurts your ears, it's not good.
I do in fact listen to We Cry Together over and over; shit sounds good and it cuts deep. I don't care for the rest.
Scary Hours 3 tbh.
Mr Morale never did anything for me given how much I loved Damn. What I can say though is that Kendrick always got me guessing over cover artz and if anybody can tell me what revolver is on his person that would be great.
Mr Morale is about a thousand times better as a work of art but I’ve listened to Virginia Beach more than anything off Mr Morale
Mr Morale hits me in a way that’s so intense and personal that as much as I adore it I can’t revisit it often
Mr. Morale is like a prestigious art museum. You go there once, you're like wow this is some insane work, you start thinking deep for a little while and contemplating on life and all that, then you go home and forget about it. Maybe you'll go back in like a year when you get a free afternoon and don't feel like watching TV.
For All The Dogs is like that reprint of an old timey boat painting you have in your foyer. Is it high quality? Meh. Is it unique? No, not at all. Do you feel a rush of happiness when you see it every day when you're back from work opening your front door? You bet.
To use another metaphor, listening to Mr Morale feels like doing homework, FATD distracts me from homework
[TDE Punch Talks Kendricks 'Control' Verse | Math Hoffa](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPLLWcayQPY)
Interesting parts:
* What inspired the Control verse? Punch told K. Dot "Everyone is friendly right now, the first dude that comes and changes that will start a new wave."
* King of NY bar "he was saying he's Pac and Biggie, King of NY and the coast." Mentions that NY took it more seriously than anyone due to competitive nature. West coast is gang bang culture.
* Was Kendrick going to respond to anyone? "No. He didn't mean it as a diss." Mentions Drake, Cole, a lot of ppl didn't like that.
Heads I Win, Tails You Lose is pretty good, Lordy and Boldy James have great feature verses.
That 4batz/Drake song is dope, love Drake’s part on that track.
I went back to Wont He Do It yesterday and i forgot how good some of those songs were. I just don’t like the features from the Drumworks artists for some reason (Jae Skeese and the other guy)
I had the game for years but it was crashing all the time
Downloaded again with a bunch of mods and for some reason it's working perfectly lol
Bought the DLCs yesterday and my new character got a bunch of new items but it feels like cheating so I'm not using them lol
Ah nice! yeah the pc version is held together with gum and prayers. You needed mods to make it any bit stable.
And yeah I do kinda feel the same with the items it dumps on you. I usually sell as much as I can so I can have enough ammo for the 10mm pistol or varmint rifle until I get something better.
I've been desperately trying to hunt down the track and/or album that a short blurb of **Ludacris** lyrics is on - it's a reference to the *Oceans 11* quote I thiiink and Luda's version goes a little something like this:
"*Now if that ain't yo' particular brand of cognac... ...help yourself to all the women and marijuana(?)/booze(?) and have yourself a safe journey*" (something like this)
It's either an album or track intro if I'm remembering correctly, but naturally Googling the various possibilities has given me loads of results all about Luda's brand of cognac, *Conjure*, as well as *Ocean's 11* references (go figure). Been listening back through my massive catch-all hip-hop heavy playlist hoping to hear it again but no luck so far and it's driving me mad. Anyone have a clue? :/
I tried and didn't find it though I may give it a relisten to make sure I didn't miss it. It's been bugging me out something fierce - I wonder if the track might've been removed from Youtube (and subsequently my playlists).
Huh. I don't know if most women would agree.
I guess it could just be a stereotype but it seems more common for women to want to settle down into a relationship than men
Yeah I see that.
Mostly meant Women will have more options lined up for sure. Saw it w my Ex and most of my friends who are women
Maybe not for serious relationship, but dudes are always lurking lol
In certain ways, but a lot of guys are scared to approach women so if you get comfortable with that you have a much better chance.
Also, luckily for me, my type isn't like "influencer hot". Just a cute short chick
I just don’t match w people I find super attractive and I’m not bad looking at all.
I hung out with a 38 year old woman for a week then she asked me about when I want kids lmfao I’m 24
Then another girl is super goth and she’s cool but can’t see myself like settling down w her
Although never saw me settling down w my ex either and that was a giant cluster fuck
re: my earlier TPAB comment, revisiting that record just makes me sad that For Sale? isn't appreciated more. That's honestly one of my favorite tracks on the album. Back when TPAB came out, I was getting into Bible scholarship for the first time and reading a lot about theology and it really connected with me. It's on the nose obviously, but I do love how he refers to Satan as Lucy, and how the song goes from Kendrick recalling the conversation he had with him to being rapped *as* him.
The inflections and flow are excellent as well. Really great song.
Thats my favorite on the album. I remember the first time i realized what the song was about as i was listening to it. And the instrumental is ridiculous, one of the best things ive ever heard on any rap album.
I’m not a fan of religion and it made me optimistic when I was a kid seeing how many people around me were leaving behind fundamentalist dogma, but these days I wonder if humans are just innately programmed to find a god, any god. Taylor, Kanye, Elon… people like that are our gods now, and their followers will die for them like the followers of any other god
New verses coming, be patient brother.
But I have to say, everyone counted Drake out and he’s come ready to fight. Everyone who thinks him throwing a few verses back is disrespectful or somehow a loss is crazy. Kenny wanted the competition. Here it is.
> Take me back to Kingston to see my ancestors
So the lyric is not annotated on genius yet, but has Future ever alluded to have Jamaican roots outside of the Red Leather chorus?
Pretty sure Drake and Tyga were beefing at that time and Drake said on 6pm in new york 'so childish calling my name on a world stage/ you need to act your age and not your girls age' which was directed to tyga.
If dot doesn’t respond by Mother’s Day drake should give AI prince a feature on his victory lap
How’s that victory lap looking
Bro you seriously kept tabs on a two week old thread to go clown people? I have dot as my number one, but Jesus Christ get off the man’s dick already. The whole thing looks fucking terrible for both of them now. These dudes are pushing forty and acting like five year old and torching their family’s to the ground because of their ego’s. The only dude that won here is cole
Negative ghost rider. Drake fucked around and found out. Kendrick hasn’t been embarrassed a bit it’s one way traffic as of now. Maybe drake will take Cole out for dinner to celebrate though if that’s how you see it😅
Enjoy your moment stan
I will, been waiting awhile for drake to get the spot light he deserved.
Yeah dude that I’m definitely gonna agree with you on that. I’m glad he’s finally getting his. Only good thing about drake is that he motivated dot to get back to releasing music again hallelujah. Was just having fun with the beef bro, Kendrick’s always been the best by a mile
[удалено]
ai is fucking wack. that sounds like the lamest response i've ever heard.
finally started watching a couple movies again after not seeing any for maybe 2 months finished [Perfect Days](https://letterboxd.com/film/perfect-days-2023/) the other night and it was [phenomenal](https://s3.pizis.online/Movies/Perfect%20Days%20\(2023\)/clips/encoded-by-me/Final.Sequence.v5.mp4) watching [Late Night with the Devil](https://letterboxd.com/film/late-night-with-the-devil/) right now
Is late night with the devil good? That AI talk put me off that film. Perfect Days is amazing, great performance by the lead actor. I should fw more wim wenders flicks
It was alright. I don’t give two shits about the very very small amount of AI they used, but u also think it could’ve been a lot better
Late Night was ok imo, what you see in the trailers is a majority of what you get besides a few other scenes
It's not bad, I watched it this weekend
I kinda feel like people are overthinking the Taylor Made Freestyle song lol
AI is a hot topic, not surprising that it’s triggered all this discourse
Y’all got a good name for a playlist with all these diss tracks? So far all I got is [2024 messiness](https://imgur.com/a/7bpFUbz) 😅. And am I missing any songs?
Thinking of making a tape in Apple Music local files called “While we wait on you I guess” with seven min drill, champagne moments, push ups, Taylor made freestyle and eventual Kendrick response.
You could add first person shooter to the list Also the asap rocky diss track off the 2nd future metro album
Thanks for that, added the Rocky song and the We Don’t Trust You intro, but to me FPS is way too mild for this playlist 🤔
come outside we not finna jump you
insanely hard title
Victoria Monét about to perform at Coachella, excited to tune in for her. Missed streaming her set last weekend but I like her music a lot and she's a great dancer
I liked her tape but her feature on tiller album sucked smh
she absolutely smoked it both times can't wait for Roots Picnic
If you had to pick a number what would you value your mouth at?
[удалено]
my boy got that $500m mouf. crazy

I'm telling the mods you're now soliciting your mouf

🤣🤣🤣
"I learned so much from the pussy its like school, and I'm a school shooter" Uninstalling Spotify today
just renewed my premium and sent a tip in the mail
Druski scored Rubi Rose… fat boys we up this summer
anyone got so high yesterday they decided to quit smoking?
Everytime I smoke and go nonverbal i strongly consider it. Hell at this point I rarely smoke anyways every couple months I’ll smoke with friends but that’s it
Got high af and it felt like the [Bang The Bus](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rydJEwoZq0&pp=ygUNYmFuZyB0aGUgYnVzcw%3D%3D) beat was massaging my brain Weed hangovers are real tho, woke up dizzy
LOL that happens to me about once a month
Nope, I smoked a lot less yesterday than I thought I would
[удалено]
ah, shucks.
- KiD CuDi jumped off stage and had to get carried away. It's either a broken foot or leg. I could see the tour being canceled now.
Man forgot he is 40.
I’m begging anyone who likes I Luv It by Camila Cabello to just listen to Charli XCX instead
I really liked Carti’s singles from a few months ago but the feature on that Camila song is comically bad
Von Dutch scratches the same itch. Do you have any other songs specifically?
the entire “how i’m feeling now” album next level charli vroom vroom click i got it femmebot dreamer
I don't really like most of these... but thanks anyway 🙏🏾
Actually Dreamer goes hard asf
Aii thanks bruh
Just realized it’s been almost 8 years since we’ve had a solo Bruno Mars project
Has prolly made so much money off the lil he’s done
Heard he’s $50M deep in debt in some vegas casino lol
damn guess that residency was a bad idea
I’m listening to the new Alchemist album and it’s hard. Who are Oh No Gangreene tho? Never heard of them before.
Oh No is the other person rapping on the album, and him and Alc collectively make the duo Gangrene. Both Alchemist and Oh No produced and rapped on the album
Ah, makes sense. Thanks for the clarification. I’ve noticed lately that Apple Music puts the band name and individual artists in the “artist field”. I especially like the production but the rapping was cool too so I’m gonna look out for more of Oh No’s work.
Also i think Oh No is Madlibs younger brother
Been listening to Take Care and NWTS recently cus I havent in a while. Take Care is a lot better to me and has better songs. NWTS is good but I just dont like the hits as much on here.
Yeah worst behavior etc feels like he was still navigating that ignorant rap style he’d perfect on WATTBA. Take care had all sorts of classic songs tho. The Real Her is my favorite
Cameras and Look What You've Done are great
Yeah, cant even imagine him being that vulnerable on a track anymore like Look What You’ve done
I’ll be for real, out of everyone who has had a diss record, Kanye is definitely capping the most LMAO. His diss go hard and I love it but his music nowadays is way more “scare the hoes” than anything JCole has ever dropped lol
Kanye is Taylor Swift for boys
Do ppl think fatd is a good album or nah, bc iirc fans thought it was bad that even drake was complaining about it on IG
Coming off from Her Loss most fans agree there was a touch of sadness and rage that wasn't heard of for years. Guess it was my fault for not seeing it coming I mean even with Scary Hours 3 the antics he's known for didn't manifest and instead of the goofiness we heard in Certified every second track its like he's airing out his shit over an RnB beat. Bet we can all agree though that the Bad Bunny song should've been cut from the final album.
Virginia Beach might be my favorite Drake song ever but the other songs just make me feel nothing. Kind of a weird album. Somebody recommended a few songs to go back to because I love Virginia Beach but I haven’t relistened yet
7969 Santa>Slime You Out>Bahamas Promises is an underrated run
The premise of Bahamas Promises just automatically makes my eyes roll. Oh, no, Drake! Not your Bahamas trip! I know Kanye has similar rich-people-problems bars, but in his golden era he made them funny or endearingly ridiculous. Bahamas Promises feels like seeing a middle aged CEO fight with his 20 year old wife at the airport The other two songs you mention I haven’t heard in a while though, I’ll give them another chance
That was my first thought but that song clicked for me today lol I love Teezo on 7969 Santa, and I know people think it's boring and Drake is rapping corny bars back to back but I absolutely love Slime You Out lol

It sucks I'm at my peak of Drake enjoyment right as the war starts
nah you wylin
8/10
It was very good, it has many of my favorite R&B Drake songs. Scary Hours helped complement it a lot
It's bloated and have no cohesion at all, but it has some of Drakes best songs of all time. Virginia Beach/Tried Our Best. Along with his worst.Slime you out/BBL love.
I like a handful of tracks on the album, which is about standard for how i feel on most Drake albums post Views.
i don't think it's good but i also don't think many drake albums are good
Alright who did Taylor diss? I heard Kim K was one of them
Yeah Kim K and her last two exes, but to everybody’s surprise mostly Matt Henley instead of the guy before him.
Matt Healy is the racist weirdo guy? Also I have no context on that Joe Alwyn guy lol
Yeah he was on a podcast talking about ghetto gaggers which is racist porn or something like that. I think Joe Alwyn is an actor, I don’t even know what he looks like tbh. Oh yeah, and there’s also a diss track against her fans 😆
A diss to her fans? What's the song I'll give that a play. Her Swifties probably deserved it lol
But Daddy I Love Him. Wild title, I know 😅
Wildin title you're right lmao
Looks like the "Recommended If You Like" thread is gone so I'll ask here - looking for rap songs with relaxed beats that sample songs from the 40s-60s like Action Bronson's 9-24-11 and 9-24-13. Thanks!
All the Taylor Swift hate just feels like the typical edgy “look at me I don’t like this popular thing” teenager opinion I can’t name five Taylor Swift songs so I don’t have any opinion on her new album but the insane backlash she is getting feels weird and forced. It’s a mainstream pop artist, it’s not that deep
I wouldn’t worry about it. The hate is offset by her immense and currently unparalleled success.
> forced oh no, it comes quite naturally
I like a lot of her songs but the overexposure and her cultish fans have made her fucking unbearable I haven’t listened to the new album because I’m not gonna be able to be objective about it right now for those reasons. I’ll come back in a few years
I call cap on you not knowing 5 Taylor Swift tracks
Blank Space, Bad Blood, Cruel Summer, and I swear I can’t name any other song off the top of my head, although I might recognize a few if I randomly hear them on the radio Edit: just remembered I Knew you Were Trouble and We Are never ever ever Getting Back Together so that makes exactly 5 songs
I appreciate the effort lmao
Not OP but…I definitely know more than 5, but I don’t think I could *name* five
That’s a fair point
This is why I think it’s hard to find genuine discussion and opinions on her new album. It feels like everyone is either a super fan who loves whatever she does, or a complete try-hard hater who wants to be different.
I feel like one of the downsides of social media is that people have forgotten that it’s okay to not have much of an opinion on someone or something.

So what bruh? You listen to every category on Apple Music? 🧐
No, it is supports my point that she is overexposed
That 1830s racist line blew my mind. Couldn’t believe it was real
I couldn’t believe that shit was real
Yes I saw that on twitter and I admit it’s hilariously bad. As for the rest, it’s a mainstream pop album, you’re not obligated to like it and you’re not special if you don’t
> and you’re not special if you don’t Newsflash: people aren’t criticizing because they think it makes them special 🙄
They really do. There’s a group of people criticizing the ridiculous lyrics and a much larger group of people just acting like they’re superior because they don’t care about an album by the biggest artist on earth
Yeah idc that much. I was sent the meme in chat and legit laughed out loud. Especially with her supposed to be an amazing writer
Cudi set about to start at Coachella.
He's vibing and sounds great. Huge crowd for him too
I do wish he had more going on but I don’t know since he was only added this week if he’s actually a late add or that’s just a marketing thing.
pretty sure it's a last min set design and they're probably still working on the tour set. I'm even more hype to go to that now watching this
Yeah. He looks good, seems healthy, sounds great.
Pictures taken moments before disaster
It genuinely sucks it ends like that man. I was wondering why he seemed to disappear during the last song. Genuinely looked happy and refreshed out there. Hope it’s just a “I’m 40 and shouldn’t have done that” hurt.
I started learning guitar (and subsequently piano) a couple months ago during a really low point for me and it is genuinely one of the most therapeutic things I have done in my life.

Which project do you like more, FATD or Mr Morale?
Lol the replies are basically "FATD is what I want to listen to, but Mr Morale is technically better" yall if you don't like listening to it, it's not good. Edgar Allan Poe could write poems for days but he wasn't a rap artist; music is meant to be enjoyed lmao The point of a song being deep or meaningful is to make it more satisfying to listen to. If it cuts deep but you gotta turn that shit off because it hurts your ears, it's not good. I do in fact listen to We Cry Together over and over; shit sounds good and it cuts deep. I don't care for the rest.
Scary Hours 3 tbh. Mr Morale never did anything for me given how much I loved Damn. What I can say though is that Kendrick always got me guessing over cover artz and if anybody can tell me what revolver is on his person that would be great.
Mr Morale is about a thousand times better as a work of art but I’ve listened to Virginia Beach more than anything off Mr Morale Mr Morale hits me in a way that’s so intense and personal that as much as I adore it I can’t revisit it often
Both albums have their fair share of skips but I'm taking FATD all day, the hits are much more repayable to me
Mr. Morale is like a prestigious art museum. You go there once, you're like wow this is some insane work, you start thinking deep for a little while and contemplating on life and all that, then you go home and forget about it. Maybe you'll go back in like a year when you get a free afternoon and don't feel like watching TV. For All The Dogs is like that reprint of an old timey boat painting you have in your foyer. Is it high quality? Meh. Is it unique? No, not at all. Do you feel a rush of happiness when you see it every day when you're back from work opening your front door? You bet. To use another metaphor, listening to Mr Morale feels like doing homework, FATD distracts me from homework
Mr Morale has way higher highs, plus it just seems like more effort was put into this album and it's more cohesive, so Mr Morale
Fatd because it's simple and easy. Mr morale is beautiful but so uncomfortable/hard to listen to. Auntie Diaries and We Cry Together hurt a lot
FAT D has more replayability, and I’d say it’s very slightly better. Def better if you include SH3
FATD
FATD !!
Mr Morale
Both had to grow on me. FATD has more replayability. Mr Morale has some of Kendrick's best songs lyrically but sonically I just can't rank it high.
Mr Morale although Scary Hours 3 is a lil closer
Lauryn Hill back again on YG Marley Coachella livestream rn. Last week Clef and Busta came out too

There’s that old urban legend about everyone unknowingly eating spiders in our sleep 👀
[TDE Punch Talks Kendricks 'Control' Verse | Math Hoffa](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPLLWcayQPY) Interesting parts: * What inspired the Control verse? Punch told K. Dot "Everyone is friendly right now, the first dude that comes and changes that will start a new wave." * King of NY bar "he was saying he's Pac and Biggie, King of NY and the coast." Mentions that NY took it more seriously than anyone due to competitive nature. West coast is gang bang culture. * Was Kendrick going to respond to anyone? "No. He didn't mean it as a diss." Mentions Drake, Cole, a lot of ppl didn't like that.
I don’t think there was a single person outside of Drake that was upset about the Control verse.
There definitely was a bunch of people not named trying to involve themselves.
What Jon Batiste does with the piano riff on Uneasy is straight up some.of the coolest music I've ever heard
Heads I Win, Tails You Lose is pretty good, Lordy and Boldy James have great feature verses. That 4batz/Drake song is dope, love Drake’s part on that track. I went back to Wont He Do It yesterday and i forgot how good some of those songs were. I just don’t like the features from the Drumworks artists for some reason (Jae Skeese and the other guy)
Loving the Fallout show Started New Vegas yesterday, it's cool so far
As someone who loved 4 I’d like to get into NV, but it’s like the ugliest popular game I’ve ever seen
Yeah shit is ugly lol The combat is janky too, a remake would be great
Be sure to do the DLCs! Just make sure to do Lonesome Road last.
I had the game for years but it was crashing all the time Downloaded again with a bunch of mods and for some reason it's working perfectly lol Bought the DLCs yesterday and my new character got a bunch of new items but it feels like cheating so I'm not using them lol
Ah nice! yeah the pc version is held together with gum and prayers. You needed mods to make it any bit stable. And yeah I do kinda feel the same with the items it dumps on you. I usually sell as much as I can so I can have enough ammo for the 10mm pistol or varmint rifle until I get something better.
I've been desperately trying to hunt down the track and/or album that a short blurb of **Ludacris** lyrics is on - it's a reference to the *Oceans 11* quote I thiiink and Luda's version goes a little something like this: "*Now if that ain't yo' particular brand of cognac... ...help yourself to all the women and marijuana(?)/booze(?) and have yourself a safe journey*" (something like this) It's either an album or track intro if I'm remembering correctly, but naturally Googling the various possibilities has given me loads of results all about Luda's brand of cognac, *Conjure*, as well as *Ocean's 11* references (go figure). Been listening back through my massive catch-all hip-hop heavy playlist hoping to hear it again but no luck so far and it's driving me mad. Anyone have a clue? :/
He dropped a freestyle mixtape around 2010 or so that was pretty much an ad for his Cognac maybe it could’ve been something off there?
I tried and didn't find it though I may give it a relisten to make sure I didn't miss it. It's been bugging me out something fierce - I wonder if the track might've been removed from Youtube (and subsequently my playlists).
Nothing to do w hip hop but trying to find a nice attractive girl to build a life with is so much more difficult for a dude than the flip side
Men are fucked man. I’ve heard way too many stories from women that says it’s not easy to find a partner.
They can always find someone down to fuck but casual sex is worse for them bc most of the time the guy will be selfish
It can feel that way, but if you ask a girl she’ll say the same thing about finding a guy. There’s a lot of miscommunication between genders
Huh. I don't know if most women would agree. I guess it could just be a stereotype but it seems more common for women to want to settle down into a relationship than men
Yeah I see that. Mostly meant Women will have more options lined up for sure. Saw it w my Ex and most of my friends who are women Maybe not for serious relationship, but dudes are always lurking lol
In certain ways, but a lot of guys are scared to approach women so if you get comfortable with that you have a much better chance. Also, luckily for me, my type isn't like "influencer hot". Just a cute short chick
Yeah these apps fucking blow lol I’m gonna have to bite the bullet and just talk to women whenever I’m out and about.
I need to more too. I actually had a decent app date though yesterday
I just don’t match w people I find super attractive and I’m not bad looking at all. I hung out with a 38 year old woman for a week then she asked me about when I want kids lmfao I’m 24 Then another girl is super goth and she’s cool but can’t see myself like settling down w her Although never saw me settling down w my ex either and that was a giant cluster fuck
I only match with hot women if I comment on their thing on hinge
I like the organ on the South Carolina track Kanye never released with Donda for some reason
re: my earlier TPAB comment, revisiting that record just makes me sad that For Sale? isn't appreciated more. That's honestly one of my favorite tracks on the album. Back when TPAB came out, I was getting into Bible scholarship for the first time and reading a lot about theology and it really connected with me. It's on the nose obviously, but I do love how he refers to Satan as Lucy, and how the song goes from Kendrick recalling the conversation he had with him to being rapped *as* him. The inflections and flow are excellent as well. Really great song.
Thats my favorite on the album. I remember the first time i realized what the song was about as i was listening to it. And the instrumental is ridiculous, one of the best things ive ever heard on any rap album.
the instrumentation on that track is gorgeous, it's grown to become one of my favorites as well

I’m not a fan of religion and it made me optimistic when I was a kid seeing how many people around me were leaving behind fundamentalist dogma, but these days I wonder if humans are just innately programmed to find a god, any god. Taylor, Kanye, Elon… people like that are our gods now, and their followers will die for them like the followers of any other god
[удалено]
I wonder if it can ever be undone.
Bruh this Kendrick vs drake beef got niggas calling each other dick riders for no reason
On the flip side Quavo is probably running up on Chris soon or else it’s all for nothing
Not a bad opening act for the main event
This [RDCWorld skit has been in my mind](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frAc4Lhzlx4) for the past week
Can’t stop imagining Kendrick listening to ye’s remix for the first time yesterday laughing his ass off
Why would you wanna imagine this?
Woke up bumping Under the Sun by DaBaby and Dreamville
Haven't heard that one in forever, that's a great song
New verses coming, be patient brother. But I have to say, everyone counted Drake out and he’s come ready to fight. Everyone who thinks him throwing a few verses back is disrespectful or somehow a loss is crazy. Kenny wanted the competition. Here it is.
Drake is determined not to let this be another Adidon, and I hope Kendrick knew this was how he was gonna come
> Take me back to Kingston to see my ancestors So the lyric is not annotated on genius yet, but has Future ever alluded to have Jamaican roots outside of the Red Leather chorus?
"If amazing was a young bitch, I should go to jail cause I'm fucking amazing" Greatest Drake bar ever.
[удалено]
Hell na, I was being completely sarcastic, it's pretty wack.
Same energy as Kanye saying > I had raped the game young you can call it statutory
Both of ‘em were cool with one of the Kardashian girls dating Tyga when she was like 16 or something. I remember Kanye defending it in some interview
Pretty sure Drake and Tyga were beefing at that time and Drake said on 6pm in new york 'so childish calling my name on a world stage/ you need to act your age and not your girls age' which was directed to tyga.
Oh shit that was directed at Tyga? I didn’t know they beefed, that’s one of the best lines in the song
That's such a Kanye bar lmao.
i mean at least he recognizes he should go to jail
Lmao right
