@MoneyMan in Revolutionary Suicide, Huey P. Newton said he wasn’t even rocking with Christianity like that and he still studied the Bible because it was the best playbook out

The game the Bible give you is crazy. Infinite info about life

@DragonflyJonez Andre 3000 saying “I got a stick and want your automatic” went from a double to a triple over the years too

It’s like how he said “bullets breeze by you (bayou) like Louisiana mane” years before Brees was throwing bullets as a Saints QB. A prophet.

what does it mean that Oasis and Clipse are both brothers who reunited after 16 years

people will say “you can just do things” and never do anything

I’m tripping and I’m loving it

@OGxTP they’re trying to turn other artists complimenting her into a psyop 😂

The doechii hate is reaching unprecedented levels of annoying

@duragdecimal these Oliver Peoples don’t play with me brother

@ernestbaker Niggas go to Warby Parker one time and start talking out they ass

Drake in his “I’m hurt, depressed, and everybody betrayed me” bag goes so much harder right now than anything where he’s trying to seem unbothered x.com/nfr_podcast/st…

happened even faster than I imagined

@EddieBaseball exactly though, when you don’t fuck with the guys saying that and think you’re better than them “we’re the big 3, especially us 2!” isn’t a compliment, dude felt like Jordan in 94-95 playing baseball watching NBA players talk crazy and had to come back and remind everybody

@ernestbaker “Oh my god, how dare the other two elite rappers from my class include me as a peer in the big 3. Grrrr I’m so mad.” 🙄

First Person Shooter really does sound like a diss if you listen to it from Kendrick’s perspective

@DopeboyDiesel @who8kuzco that’s literally what you’re supposed to do in war lmao that’s why D-Day happened in June 1944 and not January 1942 I seriously cannot believe how you all try to get mad at this man for… being prepared and having a winning strategy

@who8kuzco @ernestbaker Mind you, it came out on the last leg of his tour, dude took every advantage he had against Drake

Catch Me If You Can never missed top 2 Spielberg

@michaelmiraflor it’s already happening, Panasonic UB820 with a 4K UHD disc makes streaming look childish if you’re serious about this fidelity shit

Will DVDs get the Vinyl comeback treatment? Perhaps fueled as much if not more by the reality that "no one actually owns any of the media they pay for in this streaming era" as throwback nostalgia. A distant third is perhaps the fact that physical media will always be higher A/V quality/fidelity, and it takes watching/listening on a hi-fi system to realize that.

major part of Christmas is putting in time with that PS5 because you neglected it for the past 10+ months getting money

something about the last week of the year where everything from earlier in the year that got a little played out sounds incredible again, Not Like Us and Brat going crazy right now

@SamiOhDuh in a way, yes, Drake was so traumatized by Adidon that he thought getting personal and messy in a similar way would guarantee victory but he didn’t take Kendrick’s warnings that he’d stoop even lower seriously enough and well the rest is history

@ernestbaker Okay so did pusha force drake to run with the red button narrative

Pusha T ruined rap beef forever because now people expect every bar to be a truthful reveal when battles have always been about making wild claims that are maybe slightly plausible but mostly intended to shock and get laughs, it’s a roasting session set to music not a courtroom

@allYourBaseNfT I said “Pusha T ruined rap beef” in the way you might say “wearing Jordans ruined Skechers for me” — as in he raised the bar so high that everyone expects the same shock value from disses now, but Drake and Kendrick’s fan bases are so low IQ and sensitive that it was misconstrued

@ernestbaker But it’s not Pusha T that ruined it, it’s people that know nothing about battle rap culture.

@ladidaix players shot 3-pointers before Steph Curry — his success made them more prevalent, Pusha’s reveal was so big it increased pressure on Drake and Kendrick to expose each other, and every line in their songs that isn’t 100% true has been ridiculed, Adidon shifted expectations period

@ernestbaker Men been messy on diss records for decades

@Lee_Duram yeah we know, and people shot threes before Steph Curry, Pusha revealing a huge fact about the biggest pop star in the world changed the expectations and nature of the discourse forever especially with people who normally didn’t give a fuck about “rap beef,” it’s different now

@ernestbaker Truth and lies have always been in rap and in rap battles. Idk when you started listening to rap
