PAPI ♥️

@DeathbyCeltics Probably true but you think the social media team is privy to this information? 😭

lol they did this with smart right before he got traded

@TheDunkCentral Yes Chuck we literally want a balance of that, like idk you’re an analyst so we want you to analyze the game. If the OGs don’t want to pass their knowledge down then they can’t complain about the state of the game.

Charles Barkley fires back at critics who have an issue with the lack of analysis on Inside the NBA “We want people to have fun. We’re trying to entertain people. We’re on television from 7 to 2 in the damn morning. How many people actually know enough about basketball for us to X-and-O them from 7 to 2 in the morning? … Do people really want to see us four dummies sit there and talk about P&Rs, blitzes, over/under, and things like that? I want people to have fun watching basketball. Period.” (Via @SInow / h/t @NBA__Courtside )

@HotNewHipHop Stan culture in general have made it impossible to critique artists, whether it’s Drake, Dot or Cole. A lot of other artists have stan groups that are much worse but I’m not even trying have smoke with them lol 😂

Drake's triple-album release sparked backlash over weak bars and bloated tracklists, yet the numbers remain enormous 📈👀 As expected, "ICEMAN" is dominating the charts alongside Drake's surprise drops, "HABIBTI" and "MAID OF HONOUR." The release has been the talk of Hip Hop for the past week, and the conversations only continue to intensify. Despite the criticism, the albums immediately took over streaming platforms and charts, with Drake once again flooding playlists, timelines, reactions, memes, arguments, and discourse cycles all at once. Has Drake reached a point where criticism no longer meaningfully affects his dominance? Find out at the link below ⬇️

Y’all gotta relax while I don’t agree with Jeff either, it’s fair. Love or hate KD but there were years he was arguably eye level with the likes of LeBron who at worst is the second best player of all time 🤷🏽‍♂️.

@YawoElvn Idk why two things can’t be true, Ross was an established artist before collaborating with Drake which helped him early in his career, but post 2014, Ross had way more to benefit collaborating with Drake than Drake had with him 🤷🏽‍♂️

OVO Ish, Drake’s representative on the Joe Budden Pod, claimed Rick Ross wouldn’t be Ross without Drake. Park the engineer had to come back with the facts. This is the level of delusion OVO Ish brings every episode on the pod .

@PBDsPodcast At least he’s rich, there’s a lot of delusional old heads out there but they don’t have his money 🤷🏽‍♂️

Rick Ross says Drake isn’t on his level and that Iceman flopped: "Do you put Drake at your level?" Rick Ross: "No. You might be confused with all of the fake numbers, that ain't nothing. If Drake was what he thought he was, he would've been able to clear all this up, address it, and been moved on." "Did you listen to Iceman?" Rick Ross: "It was horrendous. My homies actually sat there. They lost an hour of their life. People put ice blocks in the middle of places and promoted and marketed and the world knew what day it was coming out and then it came out, and really, you know, folded."

Spike Lee was forced to apologize as some people thought he was being offensive to Deni Avdija. I don’t understand why the Knicks/MSG allow a dude to openly wear attire that’s offensive to several players on both teams, as well as numerous employees and fans in the arena? Do better @nyknicks @TheGarden . You guys need to create and support an environment that’s open and inclusive to ALL. 🙏

@CelticsUnite18 Literally doesn’t make sense, unless opponents defense rank and narratives tremendously outweighs everything else in their criteria.

Look at Bleacher Report’s best playoff performances of the 2000’s list When will the disrespect end?

@aKellyBrand You’re correct but some people don’t care about that and are content with how much they have. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Bro I'm tellin ya...these athletes be leaving money on the table. You just changed your most well know attribute and you just posted it on your story. Who his agent or manager?? No Shae Moister partnership, no men's health or GQ sport collaboration, shit at least tag the Barber 😂😂

Mental Health Matters 🗣

@Fullcourtpass @ramonashelburne Bros gonna have the craziest documentary in like 40 years if he continues on this trajectory.

Victor Wembanyama dribbled a basketball up a dangerous mountain route in 4.5 hours (takes a normal person 7-8 hours to walk up it) while training with the monks, per @ramonashelburne “One day he told Wembanyama to dribble a basketball up another dangerous mountain route to Sanhuangzhai, a monastery deep in the Song Mountains. The hike traversed cliffside plank paths, suspension bridges and ancient forests, and was five times as long as the one to Bodhidharma Cave. The trail forces you to climb roughly 2,500 feet in elevation across uneven ridges and stone.” (espn.com/nba/story/_/id…)

@The_Real_Yay Yall be hating Drake so much it’s sick lol. I guarantee most of yall weren’t listening to Mac Dre before this dropped, let alone when he was still here. Atleast Drake’s Mac Dre fandom is consistent throughout his career.

Drake is Fake! 🤧🤡 #RIP #MacDre ✊🏾🕊️

@Watson3172 Sometimes it’s better to ignore dumb takes rather than making them bigger. While we all knew Jim’s take was dumb, it ended up benefiting him as it caused him to trend.

When Hiphop media allowed Jim Jones to go on a rollout of saying he better than Nas this is the inevitable result. Max B comparing himself to BDK as a live performer and artist is pathetic AND NOBODY I REPEAT NOBODY ON YALL FAV HIPHOP PLATFORMS WILL CHECK HIM!

@notheclann 40 would be considered one of the biggest activists in hip-hop if he was American

Drake’s entire crew is Arab dudes and guys on here were making Zionist conspiracy theories about him lol

@LeftSentThis Literally his whole playbook, but don’t forget the “you don’t want to make an enemy of me” line. He tries to make it sound passive aggressive when it’s rarakly a threat.

Here’s the Stephen A. Smith playbook on dealing with Black male athletes in his crosshairs: 1.He says something slick about your character and couches it in sports. 2. He threatens to attack you with his reach via ESPN if you respond. 3. He pulls in other Black men, normally former athletes with “credibility,” that he helped secure a job at ESPN via First Take, to join him in attacking said person. 4. If public opinion sways against him, he gaslights the audience by making it seem like he always supported the person he disrespected, cherry-picking moments when he had positive things to say about indisputable truths. I’ve seen him run this play before and he will run it again.

@mistergeezy Drake is apolitical more than anything lol The rare times when he does pander towards politics it is usually left leaning as he’s trying to cater to his core fanbase which is women, mainly women of colour.

Iceman is MAGA-coded.

@O_Truths 🫩

I'm not understanding why no one is calling Drake out about this song and the Takeoff ad lib. It's a disrespectful verse that he says, knowing he’s tied to J Prince. It happened on J Prince’s watch here in Houston. I could say more but I’ll refrain. This is a disrespectful song. I don’t like it, and I don’t know why people aren’t calling him out for this. #RIPTAKEOFF @QuavoStuntin

@OldPrince8 You’re entitled to your own opinion but idk why you act like your opinion is Bible lol. Music specifically rap is one of the only forms of art where “fans” try to do this, which is really funny to think about as it is still a very young form of art.

As a human being who actually enjoys the art of music there’s no way you can respect anything that Drake does

I’ve seen reactors say Drake’s music sounds the same then ask “who is that?” on the hook for Whisper My Name

@Thechat101 Jim and Nas all over again.

Max B tells gillie da kid and wallo that if you made a top 100 list from New York . He’s only below Biggie , Jay z and Nas . When gillie asks about Kane and dmx he says he’s more influential then both
