My girl just used the word ‘me’ when she should’ve used the word ‘I’ but I feel like it’s rude to correct someone’s grammar at the dinner table so it looks like sex is gonna be pretty awkward tonight 🤷🏾‍♂️

The only way Drake could’ve gotten back in this fight was by dropping a nuke equally as damaging to Kendrick’s reputation. But he didn’t. COULDN’T. So, instead, he went out playing defense. We just witnessed a masterclass in the art of war, folks. And I think this war is over.

'Stop Snitching' is a poorly understood concept. 'Stop Snitching' did not originally mean 'Don't tell the cops if you see a crime. 'Stop Snitching' meant 'If you PARTICIPATE in crime & get caught– DON'T SNITCH ON YOUR CREW!' 'Stop Snitching' wasn't intended for [keep reading👇🏿]

non-criminals. It was intended for those who are WILLING PARTICIPANTS in the criminal lifestyle! Meanwhile, some of you think that if you see your grandma get murdered right in front of you you can' tell the cops because that would be 'snitching'. That ain't it. Smarten up.

@CrookedIntriago Lupe is the superior LYRICIST & the greatest concept rapper in the history of hip-hop. Kendrick is the superior ARTIST in terms of range, uniqueness, appeal & accessibility. It’s not surprising Kendrick has had more success. It’s deserved. But bar for bar... it’s not even close.

2002-2004. The phrase ‘Stop Snitchin’ existed well before that. And let’s not forget the ‘no snitching’ code in general originated w/ the Mob, who punished members who talked [rats] w/ death. I do recognize, though, that the meaning today applies to ANYBODY WHO TALKS TO POLICE.
