Jay Rock was bigger than Kendrick and Q by 2011 when he dropped his debut album Follow Me Home (after a mixtape run prior to that). The album was well received everywhere especially out west. But in TDE fashion, didnt drop for 4 years after his debut. Killed all his momentum lol
Meyhem Lauren x Daringer
Black thought x Danger Mouse
Roc Marciano x Alchemist
All new albums dropping in August this year. The 1 producer and rapper albums live, and hip-hop is thriving🔥
Nas is about to drop 4 dope albums in less than 3 years. This run is legendary. Dude dropped his first verse on wax in 1991. His second half of his career tops his peers to me. Don't think JAY-Z is not paying attention. The pressure is on Jigga.. 😂🎙️🎤🎶
You automatically lose an argument in music if you bring up sales or chart numbers. Music is art not a stock traded on Wall Street, I don’t listen to music and think about it’s marketing techniques or how many people listen to it. I judge on the quality of the work.
Why have I had to defend Nas all day, y’all got Nasir fucked up. No one can match his prime and his discography top tier. He’s also the Best storyteller ever and could easily be argued the best lyricist ever
Can someone explain how TI not in the trap Mount Rushmore? He literally is the one that made trap. And got classic albums. Makes absolutely zero sense to me
Ye stans the other day: Ye is actually liberal and he was only wearing the red hat to trick trump into prison reform!
Ye on Forbes today: I wore the hat because I like trump and I’m republican
Roc Marciano said he dropping 4 projects next year with KA, griselda, freddie Gibbs, and earl features. 1 album with alchemist too. He already 2020 Co-MVP with WSG’s Flygod 2, Hall n Nash 2 (with alchemist), HWH8, Gunnlib calling it now.
Happy bday to my favorite rapper oat Jay-Z🐐
In his honor.. ‘This Life Forever’ (1997), his best, underappreciated track. Encapsulates everything great about hov: Raps about his come up introspectively, fire beat, smooth flow, Best wordplay & double entendres. Just talkin game🔥
Y’all not about to tell me dreamville and TDE had a better 2019 than Griselda. That’s complete nonsense, griselda had multiple quality projects the others did not.

Lmao Drake got no albums holding up to Reasonsble Doubt, The Blueprint, The Black album, American Gangster, 4:44, V1. Stop this nonsense he will never pass Hov.
Some of these pseudo intellectual rappers have y’all fooled into thinking they are nice with the fake deep shit. They be like “the ocean is a Trojan on my imagination / my mind playing mental masturbation” and y’all be thinking they the nicest lyricist out lmao
