When i entered the rap game at 27 in 1987 i wanted to challenge ROCKs music fandom and administration. I didn’t treat hiphop like some kid sht because i wasn’t a kid. I didn’t make music for kids but if they got it it wouldn’t ROT them. When i turned 30 i was old in RAP. Same with 40 50 60.. now with all going on in the world 40 year olds asking me about 3 millionaire great rappers beefing small sht has ROCK music making my genre appear like fuckin romper room sht in 2024. This coming off imo the greatest rap year ever. These fantastic 3 rappers ( im biased for KL ) have songs that never will get this public attention hence this low hanging kid sht turns casuals heads . Get them all on a TOUR so we can pick seats .. we say in sports. Go Knicks. Smdh rstvapp.com

For the record I’m not anti Kendrick at all.
I’m just confused as to how Drake, the most popular, successful, number one rap artist in the world is all of a sudden a culture vulture and must be stopped. 🤣
Plenty of folks had 15 years to say this while y’all were on tour with him and asking to do features with him.
The math doesn’t math.
If he’s so hated why y’all hop on so many songs with dude? ???

Drakes track would’ve hit a lot harder if it had time to breathe before Kendrick addresses his family.
These last two offerings makes this whole battle diabolical master class.
Kendrick “Meet The Grahams” was a High Lvl Master piece.
And Drake “Family Matters” was a master class of reclaiming narratives .
But Kendrick rapid response and timing was ultra strategic and effective hi jacking the news cycle 🔁 and will age extremely well.
Who do you think won?

I actually like that Drake engages on social media. That suits his brand as a showman, doesn’t suit Kendrick’s.. simple. Doesn’t make it corny cause end of the day we know he gonna rap.

I don’t think about Rudy Gay much, but when I do it’s like this: Memphis got better after they him; Toronto got better after they traded him; Sac never made the playoffs when he was there and Spurs were better before he showed up. 0-3 in playoffs series in 16 yrs. 🤷
"It ain't my fault y'all traded me man, I ain't have no control over that, If I did I damn sure wouldn't go to Toronto. You think I wanted to go to Toronto.... If I wanted to get traded, why the f*ck would i go to Toronto"

4-year schools should look to get some of these successful JUCO coaches on their staff. They are use to quick consistent player turnover, but still developing in a 7 to 8 month vacuum.
To be able to recruit, develop and compete at a high level is a heck of a combination.

Be mad at LeBron blaming officials, I get it. But going out of your way to blame LeBron after a 26-8-12-2-2 showing where he was phenomenal in the 4th is telling on yourself.

Marijauna is actually a pretty serious drug. The evidence of its connection to schizophrenia is overwhelming, as well as lack of attention, memory loss, depression, social isolation and paranoia. Alcohol is also terrible, but no one except serious alcoholics are defensive about its negative effects. I don’t know a weed smoker who doesn’t fly into a defensive rage every time anyone dare say it’s not a magical, herbal fix all.

I love it. I’m pro black nepotism. We need more of it to be honest. Go look at an nfl front office they do it all the time. But they try to shame us for it. No sir keep putting your people and family on.

DRAKE dropped a diss strategical using AI PAC & SNOOP then finishing off the freestyle himself.
This is monumental for an artist of size to use AI after rumors of the fake AI diss.
It was innovative and strategic not only to take all the air out of the Kendricks diss but to also control the narrative and be on the offensive.
Now Kendrick has to take the bait and respond soon to win. Or he risks Drake dropping another track in between.
I love strategy. #19keys – at Los Angeles, CA

Nickeil Alexander-Walker took the 6th most corner 3s in the NBA and hit 44.5% (!) this year
Gifted defender—corals & keeps excellent ball handlers in front, disrupts rhythm with deflections, chases shooters and navigates screens excellently
Turned himself into an elite 3&D stud

The conversation currently happening around Caitlin Clark and A’ja Wilson underscores a commonly misunderstood racial dynamic.
No one thinks liking Caitlin Clark makes someone a racist or that her fame & “marketability” is ONLY due to her race & not her talent. MOST ppl support who they identify with. Theres just more white ppl. There’s nothing wrong with that.
But it’s also INSANE for anyone say that race is not a factor in Caitlin Clark’s perceived marketability and fame. Tiger Woods was the world’s best golfer AND he became a bazillionsire because he was also a BLACK golfer. Serena Williams is one of the best athletes of all time of any sex in any sport, but corporate sponsors flocked to her bc they saw a Black woman expanding the audience of a white sport. Same with Simone biles. Everyone openly acknowledges it.
But when it comes to Caitlin Clark, there’s a reason people are reluctant to have this conversation. Despite what people say, America has NEVER been afraid to have a conversation about race.
We just don’t like to talk about whiteness.
