“You niggas run to Hov for a second opinion” might be in my top 5 bars off Iceman, look at how these old heads glazing Jay z this shit is insane they’re throwing temper tantrums if you don’t bow down and kiss the ring.

@ghost09867 Wayne himself dont even believe that

@ghost09867 x.com/BookOfHova/sta…

lil wayne is better than jay z

@ghost09867 Jay-Z

which artist has taken over your listening history 👀🎧

Both had phenomenal mixtape runs. Big Sean is very influential with punchlines even rappers like Drake used his early style. Being a Philly native I gotta side with Meek. Before fame, meek was famous in the streets. People would drive down just to see him freestyle and buy his CDs. Here's a freestyle from that era. He's an absolute legend in Philly forever. youtube.com/watch?v=rKUJG5…

Big Sean vs. Meek Mill. Two hit-makers who ran the 2010s. Sean: Clever punchlines, slick flows, massive radio plaques. Meek: Raw energy, legendary mixtapes, anthems that defined the culture. Who is the greater artist? Who had the bigger impact?

@Tunde_T6 Lyrically no. The more you dig into every single line the less impactful it feels. But I loved the actual flow/instrumental on the last verse. I dont even think its better than Pushups.

I still feel that Drake’s family matters was better than any of the diss song Kendrick lamar put out during the beef

@ontapp1 @StackingWs @jaybucks107 Yeah and he responded. Then he responded a 2nd time after being ignored begging for the guy to respond to him.

@StackingWs @jaybucks107 Willingly? He was dissed outta nowhere by ppl he thought was his peers, is he not supposed to respond?

So this is exactly what many people have been saying for 2 years…

People will ignore this but this is absolutely accurate. This context is why he will lose a defamation case. Because in any other situation, calling someone a PDF would result in libel or defamation. UNLESS, you have willingly participated in a rap battle AND invited that type of energy. People talk about how calculated Drake is. He made some of the dumbest moves I've ever seen anyone make. 1) The acknowledgment of his reputation with younger girls - without this acknowledgment in Taylor Made you could build a legal case that Kendrick made this up out of thin air. 2) Family Matters, after multiple instances of Kendrick saying hes doesnt want to go the mudslinging route, you immediately try to ruin his image and say he beat his wife and his kids aren't his. From that point onward, everything was off the table. They'll see the context of the allegations and say "but sir - it appears you have asked for this to happen?"

Difference being, Jay didn't invite that kind of narrative into his life by willingly participating in a well established form of verbal warfare where no form of disrespect is off the table. Nor did he escalate said verbal warfare by levying life/reputation altering allegations at any of the ppl he took shots at FIRST. Despite being warned 5 different times across 3 different songs by the dude he was shooting at not go the propaganda/mud slinging route. I don't recall Jay telling Dame, Nicki, Drake, or Jaguar to come at him, telling them "nah not this time, you're gonna follow through when they didn't" fast enough, and then calling any of them wife beating cucks raising bastard children when they did. Nor were actual lawsuits filed against Drake that had actual civil & potential criminal repercussions. Context kinda matters when talking about perception via comparison. Not really apples to apples here. Just saying.

@CobeCashes @hfrpodcast Im not gonna shit on FM I thought it was a great effort by Drake. I think Pushups was the better initial chess move. And most of the reason why I like FM is the flow/beat on the 3rd verse. Ppl gas the 2nd one, to me it's just ok.

@hfrpodcast All you Kendrick meat riders must’ve forgot about “Family Matters”

DRAKE SPICY HOT (KENDRICK DISS) OUT NOW 🚨

@ParisEighty Biggie easily without question

Which rapper has the best flow of all time?

@ParisEighty also crazy for me to say but Travis Scott as well lol

@ParisEighty Probably Kendrick it used to be Kanye

Name a rapper with a flawless discography?

@LONGLIVE47 instead of share numerous links I'll just agree to disagree lol

@rationprotocol Kendrick was never that technically crazy

J. Cole is probably like the rappiest rapper from the mainstream in about 30 years💀

@ParisEighty Jay Z Nas 2 Pac Eminem Kendrick Lamar (or Andre 3000 interchangeable)

Top 5 rappers of all time. No explanations?

@Tha_realangelo completely agree we all know what Nas brings hes a goat. I think people sleep on Hov's entendres. Everybody knows he has flow and pocket switching.

I think JayZ got the greatness, Confidence, Braggadocios bars, Entendres,pocket switching over Nas. And Nas is on a god level, Lyricism, storytelling, Technicality, pure rapping skill, influence on rappers over JayZ tho. Both Top 5 Rappers of all time 🐐🐐.

Fuck the streams fr lol. I was saying the other day how Beyonce's solo career is overrated compared to someone like Rihanna. But I forgot about all the Destiny's Child slaps. Theyre older the kids dont even know them so the streams would never be high. But that era had RnB bangers, a genre thats been dead for over 10 years outside a few artists

@OldPrince8 @rumpel_irving How many streams does it have?

He and his wife combined don’t even have a better discography than Drake 😂😂😂

@facesbynakuna x.com/BookOfHova/sta…

Jay Z has too many skeletons in his many closets. Can’t have a son you are actively NOT taking care of. Black workers and creatives you refuse to pay and all the evil you have orchestrated behind the scenes. Drake, take it to hell when that time comes…

@OVOSilk x.com/BookOfHova/sta… He’s your favorite rappers goat

This your goat?
