No Option But Excellence

Drake…if you take the meeting with Hov instead of the 500k, he would’ve told you never go Blueprint 2.

@CageDrew @Commanders @Fsmoot21SeanT can’t change the main logo more than once every 5 years. Full logo reboot next year (hopefully coming off in playoff run season for added momentum)

@Commanders @Fsmoot21SeanT Why are they Clinging to that W. If they would have just used the Spear it would’ve been perfect. The W is Snyder do they still owe him money?

Assembly complete. #RaiseHail

@showbiz411 @kanyewest Folk hate to see a truly powerful black man coming.

@kanyewest You can't make amends. That's not what's going on here. You carried on for years with hate against Jews, embracing the greatest villain of the 20th century who killed 6 million. Saying I'm sorry won't work. Not when you have a show on the 1st night of Passover

I know it takes time to understand the sincerity of my commitment to make amends I take full responsibility for what’s mine but I don’t want to put my fans in the middle of it My fans are everything to me Looking forward to the next shows See you at the top of the globe 🌏

@StagBeChillin Puff on Oh Le Do It rmx

Name a song where the BEST verse came from the WORST rapper on the song ✍🏾🧐

@SeewhyChels He never gets fully cancelled b/c he knows when it’s time to get low. He pulls a stunt, dominates the news cycle for a couple months then disappears. Giving people time to catch up/on to the message he was delivering.

🚨 Rory and Mal discuss Kanye West selling out SoFi Stadium despite everything he’s been through. They say Ye might be the only artist who can go through that level of controversy and still pack stadiums. They also debate whether Ye could still be considered the biggest artist in the world right now.

@RapRoundtablePC Hov’s problems are mostly on the internet. In the real world, he’s selling out Yankee Stadium 3 consecutive nights

Ironically Jay-Z might have himself to blame for not meeting the expectations people have of him

@40URTY 100%. On Blueprint he said “Tone, Mike, Zo and them niggas, VA’s locked”— my bball teammate’s uncle, childhood friend’s older brother, and my barber as a teen.

He not lying about the newport news part either. I def heard from at least 3 credible older folks he dealth with uptown denbigh and downtown

@PedroSchmithYT Hey how bout we get these guys on the horn so we can “win the offseason” —like the good ole days—-

Name me the good moves Adam Peters has made while in Washington. I can name far more bad moves.

@TheKamMoto Oh yeah Yeezus is definitely a classic. It’s the stop where the old Ye fans got off and the new ones got on. I didn’t include Watch The Throne since it’s a collab album.

@djnobeva You could say 8 if you include Yeezus and Pablo. Idk if the public considers those two as consensus classic so I left them out but they could easily be argued.

I say his first 7. Pablo is on that list now. Very influential Gen Z album.

@jordanyroc Them people got her in pocket. She saying anything they tell her to to pay off that debt.

Same birdbrain who was out here slandering Jay-Z, calling him broke, saying he’s a federal informant, and lying about him, his family, and his business. All in support of Nicki & Nas. And Nas liked her video. But let Jay drop an album on the same day as Nas, or let one of Jay’s friends post a picture of Jay with all his Grammys around the same time that Nas announces a new album. The whining and bitching would never stop.

@KingPorsch__ I can almost —excuse me— 100% guarantee she is nowhere the vicinity of any person, place, or thing involving JAŸ-Z & Beyoncé.. They could be in a restaurant and she looking at them through the window—from across the street.

@Smooth5014 @jordanyroc We don’t care —until a video surfaces of said transgressions. Then on the high horse we ride.

@jordanyroc We honestly don’t care.

I can make an entire thread of the little homie Nasir’s transgressions. But everyone chooses to overlook everything Nas does because he doesn’t matter in that way, and he also made “Illmatic” and because of it he can do no wrong in people’s eyes. That said, here’s Kelis in her OWN words (not some baseless rumor) directly accusing Nas of domestic violence. Going as far as saying that when the pictures of Rihanna went viral after the Chris Brown incident, she (Kelis) had just went through a similar incident with Nas. She blamed it on Nas having a drinking problem and being jealous of things like Kelis being cordial and saying hello to Jay-Z at music industry events. It’s worth noting that while they were married, Jay-Z had already signed Nas to Def Jam.

Fresh vinyl set of disco, boogie, and funk classics for the yule tide cheer. mixcloud.com/dj-nobe/live-a…

@MUSICANDBUILDS Sucks this album came out the day the world shut down. JE didn’t get a chance to sit down on one of these podcasts and talk about it.

Hip Hop fans are not grateful enough That this album happened

@Kurrco How are you going to build a black LVMH without infrastructure? Access to the best pattern cutters, materials, and factories. Seems to me, you want to work your way inside out… but I’ll let Dapper Dan tell it…

Pusha T says Kanye’s rants stem from knowing he fumbled a cultural empire chasing LVMH "That man knows that I was the only person who told him like, Hey, man, Virgil got his line poppin… Why don't you make your own LVMH, bro? You got Virgil. You got Yeezy. You have Just Don's. His issue with me is because I'm always the truth-teller." "These rants and stuff, they ain't because somebody's wronged him. It's because he knows I could look you in the face and say, Man, I told you all this shit. It would've been the biggest thing ever for everybody. I just didn't understand it. I didn't understand why he was so dead ass on being down with LVMH back then." "How much was Off-White worth? How much was Yeezy [brand] worth? Okay? Had everything stayed copacetic, how much would the Gap deal would've been worth? How much was Fear of God worth? So my point is, you had LVMH yourself. You had one yourself." (via GQ)

@jeromebaker3rd Ultimately this is a battle our generation will lose b/c the crowds coming of age now are listening to his music without the context of time. They just hear jams.

Hearing way to much R.K-lly in these clubs and streets for y’all to think you are great fathers - do better.

@MathiasxDC 🔥🔥🔥

tyler icu announcement earlier, and now this? this line up is crazy! good for eventsdc “I don’t wanna hear afrobeats” people stay home please

@JessicaTheGreen @kanyewest File this under: What every good marketing person has done since the beginning of marketing.

@kanyewest Dude... people aren't thinking about you constantly. Just be a person. The shit you do is attention seeking 😒 you want people to think about you. Let it go.

@rotator_ @kanyewest No it’s not. People love to forget and move on. As for undoing 35+ years of murder, mysogyny, drug use, and hyper-consumerism being marketed to the people through music, well….

@kanyewest Get help Ye and just disappear for awhile dude lay low before you start the apology tour. It’s going to take years to un-do the damage you caused…you’ve said you were done w the Jewish stuff before in the fake apology on IG so now we are supppose to believe you? Actions > words
