Only thing tougher than keeping up with the updates of the Kendrick vs. Drake battle is keeping up with how I actually feel about the battle. Seems like every day, I feel differently from the day before. But this piece, my first for Bloomberg, covers some of those thoughts

. @WEKetchum says the Kendrick-Drake battle might simply seem like a face-off between two of the genre’s most talented acts, but it’s more than that

The Breonna Taylor killing has gotten so, so little attention on here compared to other police shootings in recent memory. I'd barely seen anything about it here before looking up the case myself. We/media really do value black women less, and we need to change that.

One thing that impressed me about Mac Miller was his dedication to becoming a focused musician. He popped off frat rap early on and could've stuck with that, but he put his head down, focused on his craft, and gained respect from the best.

I say that Pusha outstrategized Drake because 1) he baited him, knowing Drake would respond since he has an album coming, and 2) he knew that focusing on the ghostwriting wouldn't be enough, so he came with new info and questioned his integrity in a way that's undeniable.

Dog one of my favorite Diddy stories, I think Math Hoffa shared it on his show. He said that Loon was in the studio, and Diddy had him write a verse to a beat. Loon brought him a fire ass verse, Diddy heard it, and he was like "bet. Now go write yours." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Happy birthday to Kanye West. Blew away one of the young cats at the office with this photo of us together at a Late Registration listening party in Detroit in 2005. Literally remember that day like it was yesterday.

Also: @TerryCrews said in an interview that he slapped the dude’s hand away and he pushed him away twice. Then he got the guy fired. It’s not like Terry did nothing at all.

I look back on my freelancing days and while I enjoyed the “freedom,” it was one of the most stressful times of my life. Coming up with a bunch of ideas to pay all your bills is hard enough, and places pay late and leave you assed out smh

There are so many people we know, privately battling chronic illness as we have no idea. Revealing what you're dealing with is a personal decision, but much love and respect to the people who have decided to live their best lives while also fighting such intense health issues.

One thing I appreciate about @Royceda59 is that he really does get better as a rapper and artist as he gets older. I've never listened to a Royce project and thought, "I wish he'd go back to what he did before." I'm just about always satisfied with where he goes with each record.

Fine as hell, and it still upsets me that Martin's character disrespected her the way he did. Don't get me wrong, roasting can happen regardless of how attractive someone is. But the show seemed to work so hard to make her seem unattractive

I’m on vacation so I hadn’t watched at first. But the way that y’all were acting, I thought Ebro was pressing him or something. He didn’t grill Kodak with questions about it at all. He just said “hopefully we can talk about this later,” and left it at that.

"The older you get, the harder it is to shake it. And then one day, it all just flushes out, and you have to deal with the fact that you’re unhappy." Had a deep convo with @BIGKRIT for @REVOLTTV about depression, subs, and how he keeps the devil off.
