@TreDoes People don’t seem to be treating Mercy like other AH albums. This album is no joke.

@ZillaRocca I now understand your Tobias Harris hatred.

@WizardsMuse1 @MichaelVPina

REPORT: The Wizards could have interest in trading for Kevin Durant this summer (Via @MichaelVPina) KD is a DC native and averaged 26 points this season, and was linked to the Wizards in 2016 KEVIN DURANT TO THE WIZARDS?

Props to ⁦@fatboyprospect⁩ and ⁦@chldactr⁩ on a 🔥 release.

@PurdyRock82 @Wale 100% on Amos. I think he’s legit and he will show it this year. I’m kind of looking at this draft as a bonus because I actually thought they cooked during FA.

@petebone76 @Wale I loved his first draft. I was siced af with his first 3 picks. I thought Newton would be much much better but I'm hoping he breaks out in year 3. I pretty much have hated every pick from the last 2 years except Amos. I didn't know much about Bill prior to the draft though

Clemson ppl can yall put me on game wit our new receiver Antonio williams

@PurdyRock82 @Wale To be fair, I’m trying to give AP the benefit of the doubt but you’re right in a sense because AP’s drafts have not been great.

@petebone76 @Wale Well if they don't make the 53, it's a terrible look for AP and the scouting staff. Especially Lane since he was a rookie last year. It's an admission that they suck at evaluating

@PurdyRock82 @Wale Why are people acting like both Lane and McCaffrey have their jobs on lock?

@Wale He's a solid college WR but will be Jaylin Lane part 2. AP shoulda picked Branch or one of the big bodies in Brazzell or Lane. IDK WTF AP is doing but this is 2 years in a row making dumb picks.

@PigsAndPlans @bluenoterecords Coming of Age wasn’t on that album.

Blue Note Samples in Hip-Hop: Jay-Z samples Eddie Henderson's "Inside You."

The relationship between hip-hop and jazz runs deep, and @bluenoterecords samples in hip-hop are one of the clearest ways to hear it. Madlib, DJ Premier, Pete Rock, RZA, Q-Tip, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, and so many more have tapped into the iconic Blue Note catalog to bridge eras, recontextualize history, and loop jazz into the DNA of hip-hop. Here’s a look at just some of the many Blue Note samples in hip-hop: a thread 🧵🪡

@CineMasai_ Ren’s contributions to the group were minimized and that guy really didn’t look like Ren.

come to think of it outside of the Jerri curl Jason Mitchell barely looked like Eazy-E either 😭 crazy work in a movie where Ice Cube was portrayed by his literal son and LaKeith Stanfield pulled off a note-perfect vocal impression of Snoop (while also looking nothing like him)

aside from all the other hagiographic aspects of that movie it always rubbed me the wrong way the actor they cast to play Dr. Dre (Corey Hawkins) is significantly darker-skinned than Dre is irl so he looked nothing like him. bizarre choice

@TreDoes Oba Femi recently talked on a podcast about how Joe Rogan and Elon Musk are inspirations to him. Nah.

GET THIS WHITE BOY OUT MY COMPANY, OBA RUNS THIS SHIT

@RockyPatriarch @KicksFinder @hoopstonite @WindhorstESPN @UBS Wrong.

@UBS this is a lie. I love basketball, played, coached, refereed. Complete freak. I don’t buy Nike anymore because progressiveness is now their brand, not sports. Plain and simple. NBAs whack politics also stopped me from attending games or watching on TV, but I like the players(Other than LeBron). The problem is a combination of Nike, Silver and “King” James. Fix the activism and maybe fans like me will return. Today I buy Origin, Carhartt, Merrill and Poncho.

Brian Windhorst, NBA reporter and sportswriter, gives his take on the UBS analysis of Nike’s stock collapse 📉🤔😱 "Nike shoe sales are tanking because NBA players aren’t as popular as they used to be." 📹 @hoopstonite; @WindhorstESPN

@BlockheadNYC Pitbull fans?

Just saw a commercial for a Flo Rida show and now I'm imagining who goes to a Flo Rida Show. Obviously he has a huge fan base but he also sorta makes music for people who don't care about music so who is attending that show? Bots?

@CineMasai_ So did I!

seen the LeBron Madvillainy shirt in the wild tonight

@AlexandeRichter I remember buying both of those albums on the same day at Fatbeats.

@ProFootballTalk Wise man

Fernando Mendoza informs NFL he will not attend the draft in Pittsburgh. nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal…

@PlanetPremRock There are tons of scouts that think Peterson is miles ahead of everyone else.

@petebone76 i think the pendulum has swung too far against Peterson and someone is gonna get a steal at 3 or so i guess depending how the draft process plays out

Quick hoops aside: Duke has two players named Boozer!? Are they twins? Are they Carlos Boozer's kids?? I don't know college ball clearly lol
