Not that I like it, but its called being different

Guaranteed to be epic.

Havent listened to a lot of this but the other mixtapes (Thursday & House of Balloons) are dope af

If this beef is all about Drake proclaiming hes the best, then if that was the case Common shoulda went at Weezy or even Hov for saying best rapper alive long ago, foh..

"I like Drakes music" - Common

Ppl let their bias cloud their judgement.

Common confirmed Sweet was directed @ Drake Dec 20.. The concert that Drake called Common out was Dec 21..

Common wouldnt even be talked about right now were it not for the diss... But its not for pub tho

"It bothers me when the Gods get to actin like the Broads" what more needed to be said..

Fuck all yall, this n****s a dope rapper

so wait the artist behind Savage Life did some Savage shit? whats the world coming to?

The biggest hindrance in why you dont hear things like "MGK is lyrically hot... is the White thing.." Nope its because the person spitting the lyrics thinks like this.

"She didnt wanna date any entertainers or anyone in the business" Alrighty then.

Hes in the minority in hip hop culture.. but its really not a big deal whether you do or you dont... The negative effects are way overblown by ppl who owned cotton farms & didnt want hemp farmers to impede on their business.. its a joke that weed is still illegal (& cigarettes & alcohol [drink responsibly]) are perfectly ok..

Not Bad.

This year Ab-Soul E40 & Kendrick killed... Last year Kendrick, Yelawolf & Em bodied.

Stuff like this substantiates my opinion that everybody who instigates rap beef is dumb. as this is dumb.

There are 3 Nas-level lyricists right now: Kendrick, Wale & Lupe. IMO..

Wow a lot of ignorance going around. Listen to Lupes "American Terrorist"

Interesting reading your opinions... I agree & have been saying it for a while, Wale has reminded me of Nas in the past due to A1 word play (Nas wins out on depth) & an inability to make good songs verses making good verses (which he has improved a lot since joining mmg)... J Cole is not comparable to Jay (Drake) & Kendrick is what Kanye (my top 2) would be if all Kanyes talent was in rapping & not split between that & producng..

Almost as bizarre as claiming self defense for killing someone you followed.

No one shows their lack of taste in music like 2 Chainz haters.

Knew this dude had potential..

If lyricism is considered a platform, then I disagree.

Im a fan of both (Kdot is my favorite rapper & Drake isnt really a personal favorite though i have a lot of his music) ill just say this about lyricism, ur either tuned into it or ur not, a lot of lyricist say things that go over ppls heads because thats what they put energy into "Game f*cked up, n*ggas BEATS is bangin, n*gga ya HOOK did it/ ya LYRICS didnt, ya GANGSTA LOOK did it/ so i WOULD write it, if yall COULD get it/ being INTRICATE'LL get you WOOD" (wood as in not gold or platinum)

with that said, Drake is good, really good, but Kendrick is great (lyrically)

Last thoughts on this: I think the separation in lyricism is exemplefied by ppl saying 5am in Toronto Drake went in... Yea, he does when he wants to, Kendrick goes in on every track.. (AGAIN not saying thats Drakes only barred up song, but the fact that you have to single out 1 to illustrate your point, vs Kendrick who has the whole game buzzing off of a verse thats not even in his top 3-5 really)

Rappers Delight they were talking about (some) things theyd not had yet so im not sure what he means..

Chance is that n*gga! Man its so much talent in this new era

I agree with 50 cent, every Philly n*gga i ever heard pretty much has skills when it comes to rapping.

"How can we get more views on this article?"

What do you mean are we still listening to it? It was a (very hot) verse & we all played it out. Does not detract from the verse. If anything this particular response signals youre still thinking/ in your feelings about it..

Kanyes always been 1 of the best in the game but not really a personal favorite (much the same way I view Wayne or Drake)... But recently this exact mentality of making what he WANTS to make even with understanding its not whats gonna sell the most, combined with his talents & unique-ness, has put him in my personal top 2 or 3.. Only song on Yeezus I didn't care for was guilt trip..

Never thought id say this, but Drake needs to save his emoting for his music..

Ive always wondered how this dude Diddy stays atop this list when his only artist with actual staying power was Biggie?

Drake the Beyonce of rap "In the words of a broken heart its just emooootions" lol

Didn't know 500,000 was considered broke.. I need to step my fuckin game up! tf

Man timing is everything, used to be 1 of my favorites back in the day, & (sadly) I JUST started getting back into his stuff.. Good title that 1st ELE was awesome..

This is science. People who Bring up Nas in the discussion act as though there is any separation between him & Em...

Damn Danny why don't you tell us how u really feel? lol

Funny you clowns think you know more about music than 3 stacks... Man, hating is the new black..

Basically his target audience is ppl who sell drugs lol.

I'll be honest, I cant get passed his name... shits terrible. & his friends cant be trusted either they let him rock it.

To everybody saying "that's what youre supposed to say" no, just no. You don't see Brandon Bass saying hes going to be the best player in the league this coming year. 1 good thing about this (for B.o.B.) is it cant hurt his sales..

I don't agree.. this "outside hype" is what amped the 2Pac Biggie beef (Im aware this is night & day) & if im an artist im not gonna respond just because someone told me too. People love to instigate.

Boss shit from the big homie. #Goat

Where all them self-assured haters?

Niggas talk reckless & then act like everything supposed to be cool, & if its not, its not on them... I don't think the Dips "flyness" has any effect on the situation.

Ya'll consider him light skinned?

Hopsins not a wack person, but his decision to wear white contacts all the time is like being @ the 1 on the creative clock & trying to take it all the way to 12 he pushed it too far back to 1 (smh)

This aint got shit to do with nothing, but I want to hear Kendrick on a Jake 1 beat, too.

I think this is a solid microcosm of what pro K dot ppl are saying in the Drake vs Kendrick debate.. A lot of success behind the songs listed here, not a lot of meaning (1 is an RnB song) but somehow it always comes back to his success = hes a better rapper

Fans are fickle as hell and idiotic.. that is all.

This is just Drake displaying hes a student of the game. Whats wrong with using a (obscure, tho classic) west coast flow if you hop on a west coast track?

Ive been sayin this for a while. Not necessarily from an impact standpoint, but def more talent.

Statik was just being objective.

Gotta be careful what you wear in that... I Like that bike too.

Shes asking for sole custody of their kid AND child support??

Not defending him or anything, but that's a pretty messed up reason to be heading to jail.

In 03 Hov dropped Black Album, & in 06 he dropped Kingdom Come.. But "where was he in 04-05?" doesn't have the same impact..

For me its more about his subject matter. His dark sense of humor became less cool the older I got. No denying from a technical standpoint hes as good as anybody tho.

This is just as disrespectful as Kendrick claiming King of NY.

What are some dope Flying Lotus beats/ songs?

Lets Play House - DPG & Nate Dogg... Yall don't know nothing bout that

"I spilled blood on my apron cooking this sh*t up"

Pot to Kettle: "You're black"

Can we get a hottest underrated audio or nah?

From the WestSIDE* with Love

To me this is up there with Section 80 & OD don't know if I can put this over them yet. --- Best Songs--- IMO Wesleys Theory, King Kunta & Hood Politics --Not So Good-- u & For Free? (which are both more so skits) How Much A Dollar Cost (I feel is the 1 song I can understand wanting a better beat) & i which is a live performance.. Most unassuming but dope track: Momma, best lyrics on the cd

The best line from the album is the whole 2nd verse from Momma.

I can understand ppl not liking the beats, to each their own. But I noticed that 2 of the more low energy beats that made me not like the songs initially turned out to be 2 of my favorite songs: How Much a Dollar Cost which has the best hook on the cd imo, & Momma which has the best bars. After really digesting the album the only song I don't care for is These Walls, I felt he shoulvde dumbed that 1 down. I think this is as good as Section.80

Which verse on Get Rich is IAMSUs? verse 2 sounds like YG to me.

#17 tho.

I see what you did there.

Wow surprised to actually see a quite a few of my favorites made this list. Spottieottiedopealicious, Synthesizer Return of the G & Funky Ride. Good shit.

Correction* Papoose trolls peers.

"You gon tweet this my tour too right bae?" lmao

Meek wouldve done better in this beef if he would've enunciated on Wanna Know.

"I don't know why they been lying but yo shit is not that inspirin' "

Bears.

He was rappin like the world was finna end on his Chiraq remix lol. Good to see ppl noticed .

All I Need >

Who?

& mobile quarterbacks are groundbreaking players @ their position, they challenge convention. Doesn't automatically mean they're better than pocket qbs.

Well, that certainly wasn't a dramatic answer.

Lupe look a little like Camron in that 1st pic. & wats that on his head?

Like Charlamagne said "if Im Meek Im even more upset after that Hotline Bling video, because that means you let somebody goofy enough to dance like that destroy you in a rap battle"

Fuck zuus.

Lmao

The NBA is wack.

Fuck the radio tho.

This just makes it funnier lmao

This guy has a serious case of crazy eyes.

Kendrick & Ab-Soul need to drop a collab album.

"& victory taste sweet/ even when the enemy can throw salt"

"He watches anyone who goes close to that person he has a passion for & attacks that person" wasn't that 50s logic in going @ Fat Joe?

I have a newfound respect for tomb raiders, at least they waited til ur dead & gone to take all ur shit.

Where the hate?

Eh. Should've taken their time to master this. A couple of these hooks could've been some1 other than Kendrick. & Blue faces & Untitled 2, the beats were better in the live performances.

#3 5 & 7 tho.

*Update* It's actually Desiigner.

Thought it was gonna say Kendrick Lamar & J Cole

Don't feed the trolls.

Punch got bars let's see if the musicality can match them. Hopefully after Soul drops something to make up for These Days.

#6 was the only songs lyrics I was unclear on (also #1 but I don't like that 1) thank u Rap Genius.

1 2 & 8 are the 1s I don't fuck with. 8 was waaay better live (they should put the live version on the physical copy) 3 is dopest track.

Welp idk about the death of rap, but I wouldn't mind the death of mumble rap (Future excluded).

He just wants to be like Kobe.

Ab-Soul very underrated, even tho these days was wack.

Man fuck this site

Views

Drake didnt change, ppls expectations did.

Next time aim it at the free world before u let it go.

The real question is why is Leroy giving price breaks to Juan for buying less?

My name.

"Homosexuality is such a despicable sin, let me go out & end the lives of a bunch of ppl doing harm to no one" Fallacy

Maybe Kendrick? The beat for King Kunta sounds a lot like Get Nekkid.

Look out for the new single Kunta Kembe.

I dont think gay lifestyles & characters on tv are intended to make ppl gay any more than violent / ignorant characters in rap are intended to make ppl violent & ignorant.

Will he recreate the Tpab album cover or nah?

I though Iceland was green & Greenland was icy?

Theres a thin liiiiiiiiine, between love & hate....

The last Kdot Reeboks were ok. These are not.

favorite song off the album.

Ab-Soul & Cyhi should drop a joint tape. I know thats random.

I have a hard time believing blm condemns this. Are we talking about the actual organization, or just random ignorant ppl who are using the blm hashtag?

They like the same age so this is cool.

FINALLY!

Dont care who cosigns this shit.

A rappers talent is bar based. Hooks are what give the songs & the artist appeal. Also stop putting more emphasis on the GHOST than the writing. If someone writes a VERSE for a rapper, whether they are credited or not the rapper obviously loses some credit.

I stopped reading after "atrocities that blm & other pro black orgs have caused"

When ppl say things like this theyre not giving Drake his proper credit as a rapper. Dudes talented, elite even (if u consider melody & musicality). I only draw the line when ppl call him the Best rapper.

Dog....

The popeyes lady & the Dej loaf 1s got me. LOL

Hussle in the House

Interesting that veterans have started a hashtag in support of Kaep, considering that always 1 of the 1st things ppl who oppose him say "show some respect for the ppl who served this country."

I understand both viewpoints.

I would be less put off by this if I liked his music.

Super weird emoji.

Seahawks 1 garbage, Cowboys 1 boring. All the others are dope.

I fuck with TDF, & I havent really liked any Mac projects before.

I find his words hard to decipher. I wanna like him but this puts him in the same boat with the mumble rappers for me.

All for 72 virgins huh? 😕

What proof do we have that Durk checked Game? Asking because that seems to be the consensus..

😂😂😭😭

In the words of Omelly mmm mmm mmm

Non lethal force tho.

Apology schmschmology

Ab-Soul, Mick Jenkins, Dizzy Wright & Cyhi the Prynce should form an underrated supergroup.

Im just glad to be here before all the flamboyantly gay comments. #Pda

This marks the 1st time in history someone puts something into a random wallet, as opposed to taking something out.

If they were all the same size, rats badgers & bears would look a lot alike.

Probably my favorite project of the year.

It can be a repost & a sub comment on the beef. 2 things can be true at the same time. TheMoreYouKnow🌟

Not even charity nor excusivity can make these hot.

Its funny that because 50 (1 of the most thugged out rappers ever) punked Ja in that beef, everyone on the internet acts like they too are harder than Ja & get to diss him.

But theyre garbage tho.

Bullshit is taking over..

Black people vs Niggas is real af.

The song with him on Blank Face is my favorite song on the album. Actually looking forward to this..

Why did her & The Rza connect?

Who gives a shit about baseball? More boring than soccer.

For the person with a lot of money & zero style.

They mustve been playing charades 😂

Hmm, gonna have to check Goldlink out. Dope verse from him.

Cant expect this man not to commit brainless acts.

Damn, this is messed up. After 19 years! She is bad tho.

Obviously the timing is worse than the actual diss. Homie is in rehab right now.

He definitely made some of the most clutch shots in the playoffs last year, I'll give him that.

8/10; my opinion.

1st time I ever seen Hov dress goofy. He really gettin old.

Cant front, this is funny lol

Hmm, theres got to be some kind of solution/ reform to this law.

Biggie is the only true GOAT next to JayZ. Im not saying everybody gotta like what I like, but if you dont even listen to it (he cant name 5 Biggie songs) dont rate it.

I dont keep up with politics, & I doubt many of these rappers do either. Congrats to Trump tho.

nameFamous lies & Unpopular Truths? Thats a hell of a name..

Do better Reebok.

Killed this shit, even got away with saying "nigga" on national tv.

Kendrick, Ye & Ab Soul my top 3. Hopefully he delivers with this!

Those fries shes holding appear to have come from nowhere.

The Chicken Pock edition. I like em tho

"I cant believe he still talking" lmao

That jacket looks ready to be poured in a sprite.

On a semi related note, any of you who like Chappelle, check out Patrice Oneal stand up. One of the goats hands down. Rip Patrice.

The Cardinals & Bucs need to change their helmets to these designs immediately. The rest of these are mehh.

I bet the people who only listen to "real" hip hop & shit on music like this, dont know how to dance.

Boundries.

I must say, I loved arguing in favor of Kobe all those years.

Waka a fool lol.

What Can I Do?

Will never understand hating someone for their race. Not like you get to choose, so u couldve just as easily been born as the race u hate.

Hopefully it turns out better than the Wolves remaster.

Didnt much care for Kissland or Bbtm, but this is complete fire. My favorite Weeknd project since the mixtape days/ the Trilogy. Well deserved.

After listening to this more, this is AOTY for me easily.

I guess shame on me for even clicking on this.

Seems like all the dope stuff Nikes coming out with is retro.

"Weirdo rapper"

Andre 1 of my favorites of all time. Always found ways to say things that only he would say, which is the opposite of what the majority of rappers do.

Drink responsibly, but dont smoke (unless its tobacco).

Only songs I didnt like were Rockin, False Alarm & Secrets. I give it a 9/10.

Im not on the "Kanyes music declined" bandwagon.

Nah, Ye waves >>

I agree. But I didnt really hate the Warriors 'til they got Durant. Its moves like that that make me not even care to watch the NBA.

"I aint wit that diss song shit, I been a shotta nigga whoa"

"Whats wit all da shit I started Tyga?" (How I hear it)

I think if they stick to the formula they have (Hiii power, forbidden fruit & the jig is up) of passive collabing, where 1 artist only does the hook or production, it could work. If the album is 14 or 15 songs long, I think they can get away with having only about 5 songs where both of them actually have verses. The other songs could have features like Ab Soul & Bas etc.

#6 better bang since Kokane on there

She might be fake but its hard to argue with the results.

Damnit this isnt on Tidal!

Sadly this was a bit of a disappointment for me. But it at least has some cool songs on here, & it was a step up from These Days. With all that said D.r.u.g.s. definitely the dpoest song hes done in a while.

The other article was saying itd be a bad idea because Kendrick would outshine Cole whose rhyme scheme is simplified in comparison.. I think it could work, These Walls from Tpab is a great example of (imo) a song where Coles style would probably do more for the vibe of the song.

Starboy #1 imo.

"New York niggas copy niggas like its all good."

Its cool that Usher switched gears & got a whole new careers as a producer now. Zaytoven is also a cool alias.

What does Mtv know about music tho?

Respect to Yachty.

Somebody needs to introduce him to the Beige Phillip podcast.

"Were not sure what it was that really made Meek mad, but we guess this is what he gotta do to make Nicki rap" 😁

Hate to echo the trolls here, but damnit this a W.

Damn you Tyga & Rob.

"What do we have here NOW? Do u wanna ride or die? Fa-la la la-la la-la la" With a minor tweak I can see it.

Kanye needs to do a collab album with his old self.

-__-

Hopefully they end up in jail.

They don't wanna talk trash to someone they may join forces with later. Shoutout KD.

Hes predicting his future in that pic, hes gonna be shot for all that talk.

What I learned from this article is theres a Mlk the 3rd.

Big W.

To be fair, there is no one who fully resembles Mikes late life race.

Im here for it, shes bad.

Scottie Pippens! But wheres High Tunes & Music To Ride To?

Maybe Im fucked up but I find this funny.

Where are all the "This aint hip hop" comments at? Be consistent.

More proof the Nba is garbage.

I can think of at least 1 person who disagrees.

Well done, Aziz.

She got the snapper.

Clicking & commenting about an artictle not being hip hop on a hip hop website is like balling your money up and throwing it at a business owner. Yea u dissed them, but u still gave them what they wanted.

Hes spot on if we're talking about effeminacy.

When did Usher start making beats?

It does mean something, just doesnt mean champion.

He gon' be fresh as hell if the Feds watchin'

Bias. Itll get u every time.

Timbs > these, but these not bad.

Sadly this article will get a million clicks & comments complaining about it not being hip hop.

Their outfits looks overdone, much like the Transformers reboot.

I dont judge Future in this case, as there was no specification of how much time he's missing...

The Michael Jackson 1 & the last 1 are hilarious.

Yall interpretations are wild. Theres no problem making someone work for money lol.

Fight the good fight Sister!

Flawless.

Rocket Man a classic.

Literally listening to Am I High right now

Now all we need is Joe Buddens critique, right?

"Baka laka baka la mo" Genius

Hearing him talk I understand him more than when I only read headlines of what he said.

Only songs I dont care for are the 3 before the last song. I give it an 8/10.
