i didn't say i thought it! i didn't say everyone thought it! i said there was some people who thought it.
i got a bunch of old rap magazines that literally talk like he was the next Hov. obviously that never happened but you won't convince me im having a mandela effect memory😂
He's a wacky dude , but the rapper sharing his life via video blogs and trauma raps about pills and relationships..were where rap identity was going and he was a pioneer
Always thought Drake was a bigger budden fan than Kanye fan ..lyrically
Antoine Hardy retweeted
younger people don't believe me when i say this, but people really thought joe budden was about to be the biggest rapper in the world around this point

What's extra impressive is that Juan had already used Techno in a track title years earlier. But when the right opportunity arose, he subtly - or not so subtly - told the label (and the world), that this was techno music, and it came from Detroit. RIP Juan Atkins 🙏 🛸 🕊️

ANOTHER THING 2 chainz saying no one outside of Atlanta owns land was also incredibly scary because that’s a college educated man of a certain age. We are from the south & a lot of southerners from Mississippi to Alabama to Arkansas to Florida etc own land. Why would he say that?

“No black person own property in LA” when I literally stayed at one of my friends rooftop cribs. That he owns.

Some of y'all actually believe black kids can only by "hood" or "suburban" and there are no other options and we don't live anywhere else. Y'all have a limited world view and a limited imagination. 😂

just read that tucker carlson tweet and idk if all my synapses are firing up correctly or not. Is that mf saying that his sources are telling him that Trump intends to deploy nuclear weapons on Iran unprovoked? Is that what i read?

everyone has their juan atkins posts (all heaters!), but I just wanted to zoom out::
techno is one of the few truly modern genres. one that transmuted prince, parliament and blue note into pure machine funk, and had a Cambrian explosion into hip-hop, pop, and beyond.
one where the creators—the legends!—are playing festival stages (that wouldn't exist w/o them!), and mentoring the next gen actively.
if there was no Juan Atkins, there'd be no "Lose Control" by Missy(!), no "Be A Superman" by YMO, no "Baby Got Back" (yup). sheesh.
here's to the OGs, here's to what's next. damn.
