Host - The Bigger Picture & Something Dope🔋 CCB
I gave my thoughts about being white within Hip Hop media and the responsibility it holds. I don't take my position for granted. This is a culture I love and have been accepted by, but with that comes a certain level of obligation. What are you providing?
This was clearly just a Euphoria reference… somebody on the UFC team was a hip hop fan lol there is literally ZERO chance that they actually mistook them
I love seeing Q continue to push this song... One of my favorite songs of the year and it definitely deserved a video.
Don't stop promoting great art when it's timeless
Had the chance to interview one of the greatest lyricists to ever touch the mic
@Royceda59
Full conversation coming soon. Can’t wait for you to see this one
@duragdecimal
I'm not saying Dana White couldn't have mistook them lol but he isn't a Kendrick fan... the person who put that on screen was trying to be funny

for an hour and besides getting amazing stories about Black Thought, Kanye, Pharrell, T-Pain, Em & Dre, we had really important conversations about anxiety, therapy, finding common ground with people and Plato's The Allegory
Just remember, all it takes is one moment, one person, one DM, one opportunity, one job, one project, one sale, or one “yes” to change your whole life.
I think Kendrick's "Watch The Party Die" was his Heart Pt. 6. He likes to showcase where his thoughts are through the Heart series before every album drop. I think with this song he is showing us that his next project will be more faith-based than ever.
For my first
@DJBooth
piece, I wrote about the magic of 2009.
In ‘09 I heard Drake, Cudi, Cole, and Tyler for the first time. Limewire and Datpiff were at their peak. It felt like anything was possible in Hip Hop.
She is so fire. TDE really is on the way to having multiple new superstars. I was one of the people that doubted their next era after Kendrick left but they are in very good hands 🏆
Eminem dissed Machine Gun Kelly last night and this morning Machine Gun Kelly dissed G Eazy. Today I await by my phone for the headline “G Eazy dissed Macklemore” white rap is in absolute chaos rn
Drake is leaning into the people who stayed loyal to him throughout the beef. 21 Savage, Young Thug, Party, Big Sexyy, Latto... Not mad at him keeping the circle close and rewarding the people who stayed down
TDE President Punch was on Tank and J Valentine's R&B Money podcast and told the story about
the famous MTV VMA's afterparty club altercation during the time Kendrick Lamar dropped his verse on Control
I made a vow not to ask Xzibit about Pimp My Ride during our interview. He actually brought it up on his own and I'm so glad he did because these stories are hilarious

about whether the police should be defunded, abolished or reformed. Here are his thoughts. What do you think needs to happen to the system to see real change?
#BlackLivesMatter
Watch Part 1 of the interview here:
Jay Z, Drake, Cole, Kanye, Nicki and Kendrick have the most interesting cross relationships ever... You could do multiple documentaries on just those 6 artists
Joe Budden said that Kendrick & Drake spoke before the battle about keeping things "friendly" and about rap.
I actually brought up this rumor 4 months ago on
#TheBiggerPicture
🏆 the day after "Not Like Us" Dropped... What do you guys think?
As a white person who works in Hip Hop and benefits from black culture, now is not the time to be silent. I stand with the
#BlackLivesMatter
movement and all of those protesting the outrageous MURDER of
#GeorgeFloyd
by someone who was supposed to be paid to protect him.
Daylyt is one of the best with the pen... but J. Cole's tone and flow is just DIFFERENT here. At first I thought his new music might hit different after the battle dropout but Cole can ABSOLUTELY RAP his way back to the top lol
@Jeremy_Hecht
curious your thoughts on the crash dummy top5 threatening Kdot while Ak and Adin just sat and laughed, but when it happens to ADIN hes sending lawyers? 🤨
I made this in like 2 hours just for fun 😂 lmao wasn’t expecting 15,000 people to see it but hey, if you enjoyed it I’m glad! If you found it corny, I agree it’s a little cheesy. But either way hopefully brought you a couple minutes of joy in this dark world...Go Jets!
the other thing to remember is that no one on the timeline knows anything about the business/ behind the scenes dealings that lead to the superbowl pick... we haven't even heard from Wayne yet lol
I love seeing everyone win! There is room for all of us to succeed. Lifting someone up doesn't bring you down, it allows everyone to reach the next level together
Bro, respect is an understatement of what I feel for you. Your voice is powerful and necessary. Was watching your convo with 19 keys yesterday. Keep being you and shining your light into this world 🫡 means a lot from u
@PhillyD
Not many people have evolved with their audience like you have over the past decade. Thanks for all of the information and for constantly Philling us in 🙏🏻 the journey continues
We’re officially at an age where it isn’t cute to be a picky eater anymore. Stop ordering chicken fingers at restaurants and try some fuckin sushi bitch
Just did one of my favorite interviews ever with
@bobatl
about his entire career, the moments that shaped it and some unheard stories in between. We also talked about aliens just because why not?
"Send em home we gone watch the party die"
Drake and Partynextdoor are supposed to drop an album pretty soon... could they have been planning to drop a song tomorrow? Is Kendrick stepping on another release? Or does this line have nothing do with Drake?
I feel like I haven’t posted my work on Twitter in a long time but here are some of my favorite interview moments. Still doing this for my 17 year old self like Virgil said. If you told that kid about what I get to do, he would believe you but even he would be a little surprised
I got rejected at mutliple labels when I applied for internships and now their PR teams ask me to interview their artists. Everything is not meant for you, remember that
@Jeremy_Hecht
i see that you’re wearing a “the peg” sweater in the “before they were famous lil nas x” & i’m wondering if you’re actually from “the peg” aka winnipeg.
I'm making it a priority to do what I say and say what I mean. For a long time I would say yes to everything just to make people happy but in the end it made me unreliable and let them down in the long run. If I say I'm going to do something I'll do it or else I won't promise
It's always interesting to see how songs/ features are made. Andre's feature is one of my favorite ever and to think it only came about because of label interference. Sometimes the label gets it right lol! Either way, Juicy & Project Pat got to see it shine on Layin Da Smack Down
This is a story I heard about and always wanted to ask TI about. I finally got to ask him and the story was even more incredible than I could have imagined. Plus this is only 1/2 ppl who he walked off a ledge...
appreciate you guys for 2000 followers! I didn't use this app for like 5 years but I'm going to start tweeting/ xing more lol. Music takes, inspiration and random thoughts
Have you heard of Moana of Motunui who delivered Dwayne The Rock Johnson to an island to return the heart of Te Fiti and restored peace to an entire tribe, and she is only 16??!? 🧐🤔
People don’t understand that
@Kaepernick7
risked it all by kneeling. He knew what the consequences could be but believed in his cause so much that he was willing to take that risk. A company like
@Nike
standing with him is a huge step. If only the
@NFL
did the same...
@mattwhitlockPM
@speakz
@LALeakers
Wow the storytelling ability while just causally going back and forth between deep bars and braggadocio is inspiring lol
