Drake is having quite the run… - 2023 got bullied into dropping an EP of new music because the 23-track album he released was terrible. - 2024 took the worst L ever in hip-hop. - 2025 got embarrassed on the Super Bowl stage, and across stadiums all over the world. Then further embarrassed himself by suing over a rap battle he willingly participated in and escalated. - 2026 dropped an entire album full of victim raps and two more albums full of terrible music. Wrap this shit up. It’s over.

Jay-Z did irreparable damage to Nas, the women in his life, and his fanbase. Jay’s “relationship” with Carmen (Nas’ first child’s mother) is well documented. Mainly by her. But what’s often overlooked is the fact that Jay also planted seeds of doubt, distrust, and jealousy to Nas’ future relationships. Years after the battle Kelis couldn’t even say “hello” to Jay without Nas throwing a fit. Imagine mingling in those circles only to end up fighting because your husband is insecure about you being cordial. 🥴 But let y’all tell it and Jay is the one whose “soul burned slow.” Okay lol

Dame Dash on The Breakfast Club… Charlamagne had that corny nigga in HELL the entire interview. He called him broke, a loser, a child, insecure, a liar, a hypocrite, made fun of his teeth. All to his face. Called his ass “Debt Dash” and told him that he should start a label called “Debt Jam.” He’s a fucking embarrassment.

I noticed that on both, the Tiny Desk performance and the Genius lyric breakdown, Push didn’t even blink when reciting those bars. That nigga didn’t give a single fuck about them cameras. He was talking right to Jim Jones. With a blank stare and an evil grin on his face. Leave this nigga alone, man.

I’ve never understood the confusion behind this record. Jay loved “good kid, m.A.A.d city” and the original “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe.” He was inspired by Kendrick’s work. Recorded a verse, had Guru send the verse over to TDE. And during a studio session for ScHoolboy Q’s “Oxymoron” Kendrick came over and they surprised him with Jay’s verse. Kendrick then recorded two verses of his own and they put the record out as a remix. The end. They weren’t sparring. Kendrick had two verses. Jay had one. Kendrick recorded both of his verses after hearing Jay’s. Jay didn’t have that luxury. Nobody got “bodied.” Just enjoy the fucking music, man. I just want them to collaborate again. It’s long overdue. And now would be a perfect time for it.
