Every Drake verse is about the ups & downs of a 3-week relationship with an ig model. The whole schtick is so soulless and vapid.

Kendrick is insane, he really figured out amongst all that to fit in the "I hate his face" energy from DMX. That's the raw visceral response to this Drake character that I been on since 09 since I heard this dude." By all means get him the fuck out the paint...

"The Big Three" narrative makes me want to vomit. I see and don't see how cats can "like" Drake, or how younger millennials and gen-z youth relate to Cole, buy as far as rapping/emceeing Kendrick is a country mile ahead of these dudes. Shit ain't even close.

Just caught the Fantano review of the new Armand Hammer. Wrote a long thread, but decided to keep it short. He gave the album a 9, but said he didn't know what they were talking about, while also saying they covered familiar ground. Armand Hammer is the elephant in the room.
