F.I.C.O go hard. All things considered go hard. So Far Ahead go hard. Probably my top 3 off the album off of 1st listen. I’m either a fanboy, or these negative reviews are too harsh because this a good album to me🤷🏿♂️

Just heard cardi’s new single “outside”.
I don’t think Pardison Fontaine writes for her anymore because it’s way too simplistic

Carter 6 isn’t very good, we can all agree on that. But everything Wayne dropped from “500 degreez” to “Tha Carter IV” ranges from good to classic. So that decade plus run can’t be forgotten amongst all this hate

Mannn, track6 from C6 “Banned From NO”. How can I get excited over this when I heard him legitimately body “Banned From TV” on No Ceilings?! This is like watching Shaq on the Cavs. Hoping the album takes an upswing as I listen more

Carter 6 is a tough listen so far. Zero excitement on any of the first few tracks

History teaches us that alliances between oligarchs and fascists, while initially beneficial to each other, usually don't end well.

Psychodrama is still, to ME, the most important album in South London rap history. It is to south, what I assume illmatic means to New York/Queens.

Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Basterds is the movie equivalent to any J Cole feature on a Bas song.

Pressing Super Bowl question; is Drake going to watch the half-time show, or is he going to wait to hear about it?!

Nipsey’s last verse on “Keys 2 The City” is in my top ten. Brotha emotes. I feel EVERY word. “so tell whoever got it locked, that Nipsey Hussle stole the key!” He delivered that line perfectly.

I’m late out the gate, but just finished J. Cole’s “inevitable” series. Shit is special. Cole been my favourite since FNL, but hearing his story in depth is so gratifying as a fan. Bravo

Is it too far fetched to to think that Drake might (MIGHT) become this generations Ja Rule? Bonafide hit maker, who lost credibility after a one sided loss. Hip-Hop fans turn their back on him, and he disappears into obscurity. See the parallels?!
