My favorite TV show is “Law & Order: Roc Nation”
Roc Nation wins another legal battle 👏
They got all charges dismissed against Jabari Talbot, the 6th-grade boy who was arrested last month after refusing to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.

Jesus Christ give it up.
The battle is over.
No amount of spin is gonna change the outcome, it’s gettin sad.
Mr. Morale and the Steppers by the west coast saviour has departed from this week's US Billboard 200 chart for the first time since dissing Drake and having the biggest moment in his career
Drake has 6 albums still charting on the US Billboard 200 including For All The Dogs

He rapped with BIG on his first album.
Had joints with DMX, Scarface, LOX, Eminem for Christ’s Sake.
I normally don’t amplify these things, but what the fuck are we really talking about here?
Adam22 talks about how Kendrick Lamar followed the Jay z blueprint by not doing features with lyrical rappers that could be a threat to your throne . He says Drake did it when he put The Weeknd on his direct competitor but he didn’t sign with him .So drake hasn’t done it since

Malice just annotated on Genius, this one from “The Birds Don’t Sing” is just heavy, but shows the depth of the album.

Just for clarity… GNX’s streaming equivalent number was roughly 117k, it would’ve been enough to put him No 1 without the vinyl.
Btw Kendrick Lamar 247k “GNX” numbers this week was 100k vinyls that were pre bought since the album dropped but only counted this week cuz they were shipped and rest Super Bowl inflation. But nobody cares it’s all about the finesse. Drake need to start finessing.

Pain deserves this and more.
I’ve said it before on the record and I’ll keep saying it: T-Pain undoubtedly CHANGED MUSIC when he debuted!
A legendary award for a living LEGEND! Congratulations to the our icon @TPAIN 🏆 #SoulTrainAwards

Hip-Hop is approaching 50 years old, we gotta do better with how we treat our history. I feel like we gotta get rid of the term “old school,” rebrand it as “classic hip hop” or something… they don’t call it “old school rock”

The guy behind this account doesn’t come from the neighborhoods we do, doesn’t have to deal with the consequences of violence in the street, but has the MOST to say… Laughs at death/trauma & cashes a check off it. Ak may not run it, but it bears his name so he’s responsible
If Nipsey died because he disrespected someone for calling them a snitch
What should Drake do to Kendrick for disrespecting him by lying about him a pedophile #westcoast

I did and I stand on it. Kendrick’s GKMC-TPAB-DAMN album run is as good as anyone’s in Hip-Hop history.
Did y'all just put Kendrick Lamar's Album run on the same level as Ghostface Killah's @3LMthree @RobMarkman? You both need to be drug tested, y'all are buggin' the fuck out, I had to stop watching after that

Mos Def might be the most naturally gifted rapper I’ve ever heard, he goes crazy and it never feels like he’s trying very hard if that makes sense. Just sounds effortless

Nas on his first album very much looked like a kid fresh out the projects getting his first opportunity. His clothes were fly, but relatable.
So many modern rappers, first album out, already are presenting with big diamond chains & high end designer.
It’s all interesting.

Every 5 years the internet “discovers” that T-Pain can sing without autotune, only to forget and “rediscover” it all over again in another 5 years.

Well actually, my sarcastic friend, it was in the Sept ‘06 issue of XXL Magazine where I wrote my 1st concert review for Jay-Z’s 10th Anniversary RD concert at Radio City Music Hall.

This was my shoot, I booked it, co-produced & did the interviews. We shot it before the PEEP mixtape dropped. It was the last time I spoke to STEEZ, I told him I wanted to have him back on MTV when he finished his solo tape. Sadly we didn’t get to do that.
RIP Capital STEEZ👑

DJ Drama went up against the FEDS for selling mixtapes. Him and Cannon were singled out, beat that… and the way the way Drama took the Gangsta Grillz brand and still flourished. Grammy Award winning with Tyler! Can’t do nothin but stand up and applaud that

Why don’t y’all credit the writer and outlet who did this interview? Someone really worked hard to get that interview to transcribe, to write it. His name is @kepartridge ! C’mon. We all gotta do better with this type of stuff.

"I freaking love the song! And not for nothing, I’m into hard rock. Korn. That’s my jam. That’s pretty much all I listen to. But I do love Kendrick Lamar’s stuff.”

We’ve seen The LOX function as a unit since ~ ‘97 with no public mess. They support each other and it showed last night. every member knew each other’s verses. There was no ego between them; nothing more important than the group last night. That was the fundamental difference
