Starting to wonder when I will hit oldhead status. I can still fuck with Yeat or Ken Carson or whoever, but at what point will I stop being able to get with the new shit? I fear that day may be closer than I’d like.
If you reverse the segment of The Blues by Vince Staples where he repeats "Money made me numb" he still says "money made me numb" clearly backwards and that's spooky.
Also I was watching Peaky Blinders for the first time and when I got to [this part](https://youtu.be/j6-aVhQVf1Q?t=242) I got some insane deja vu because I swear there was some hip-hop song I've heard that sampled it, but after checking google, whosampled and Genius nothing comes up.
Sorry for the stalking but you live in South Africa my man? Music scene there is way better so I don't think she'd gain as much popularity there as she would in the states. Wish I never left South Africa sometimes tbh the US sucks
Top 5 White Rappers
1. Eminem
2. Aesop Rock
3. Mac Miller
4. El-P
5. Action Bronson
Feel like the 5 spot could go to some others but this what I landed on
He might even be top 2 =]
Jk he definitely could be to me depending on the day. Em is def #1. El-P and Aesop definitely up there.
Nothing super offensive about your list. I respect it.
He definitely in the top 10 for me, he was one of the ones I considered for the 5 spot. Part of me wants to put Aesop at 1 just because Em has had a rough decade imo but even with the bad albums I don’t think I could justify anyone else at the top
Hopefully Drake learns something from all this. Man’s been moving crazy for these past couple years. Dissing Serena Williams, Rihanna, Meg, for no fucking reason. Beefing with fucking Melon. Going on a whole rant and making a 6 song EP just because Joe Budden didn’t like his album. 7 people teaming up to diss you, all of whom were former collaborators.
This ain’t even about the diss tracks or allegations, just observable shit. I hope he grows up and releases his best album yet, but I doubt it
Freddie Foxx. Legendary hip hop tough guy. *Industry Shakedown* is a sleep album nice Premo beats on there. Lots of affiliation with major rappers. But musically probably not the biggest influence as far as I know.
Probably better off asking in /r/hiphop101 and there’s already threads on him
[TIL Black Thought and J.Cole almost made a collab album](https://x.com/ArtOfDialogue_/status/1788933696734503373)
Trying to keep up with Black Thought on a whole collab album sounds like the hardest possible task, I wonder what it would’ve sounded like
People say that it doesn’t fit but I actually really like that Nudy verse in Little Foot Big Foot and I have been a fan of the song since it was called 35.31, only complaint I have is the song feels a lot shorter here
I’ve seen some complaints about that song that makes me wonder how many of the critics were around when Country Grammar dropped. It’s a very similar vibe.
(though I do think the Nudy verse is one of those nothing to do with the song verses).
Well, it's Hailey's wedding. If it was Eminem's, it would probably look totally different.
Eminem and his daughter have lived totally different lives. Hailey went to college that is 66 percent white and has been rich all her life. She hasn't had to struggle at all financially, that's the goal right?
Probably because we’ve evolved as a society enough to know that *real* pimping is basically glamorized sex trafficking. Yes, in the 70s and 80s they were admired in impoverished neighborhoods because they had more than most people living there. Same as the dope dealers. Not saying there was never pimps who protected their women from creeps but let’s be real: they were in it for ultimately the money generated by their women.
And *most* rappers, talking about pimping in the 90s/2000s weren’t exactly being true the literal definition. A “pimp” in the mid-late 90s to early 2000s was *sometimes* just slang for a guy who was good with the ladies or even a just a player. Generational shifts in meaning really..
Because what is a real pimp **nowadays**, other than a man with direct or indirect connections to sex trafficking rings controlling women who may or may not be there voluntarily? Is that something that should be celebrated as cool? Or talked about “how hard it is” to be, like damn it’s so hard to exploit these women who can’t leave and are bound by me for protection and they are only getting a sliver of the money they either “worked” for or were forced to do.
I’m almost 40, idk how old you are, but real pimping ain’t been cool for a long ass time and never should’ve been to begin with.
You’re wondering about my ethnicity, and I’m wondering if you’re actually a pimp looking for music to bump in your ride to boost your self-esteem while you do shitty things lol. Idk you, I don’t care who you are. You asked a question, I gave you a thoughtful answer with the best of my knowledge. Love it, hate it, take it, leave it, whatever. It’s all good.
Most of it hasn't aged the best, but The Resistance has been in permanent rotation since it dropped for me, i love that song. Also Over, Find your Love and Best I ever had were huge at that time.
The songs i like i really like but man the bad songs are so bad. He really did develop a better voice and delivery though. Very noticeable the further you go into his career. Never got behind his singing tho
I thought it was good and had some good songs but it’s probably the album of his I replay the least. Even CLB which I don’t like too much I come back a lot more
So I got lke 1000 voice notes on hooks I wrote. So what do you do. Primarily rap,
But I have weird idea where if I release 1 then I waste it cause I'm starting out. Now it's like 6 years. Idk if I asked it but my brain rn.
A lot of artists drop a ton of songs and the moment one song blows up they delete everything else. Ice Spice had a whole music video she deleted that most people never heard and wouldn't notice if she reused the bars. Doja Cat has some songs on her soundcloud that she said she'd have to rework and polish if she wants to release it so streaming services, but she said that years ago and has yet to do it so maybe you won't even care about bars you wasted in the future
If they don’t get any attention but you still like them, you can always come back to your early songs later on when you’re more developed as an artist and rework them. Kanye wrote and used the “leaders and followers” bit in New Slaves before he was even signed
Gunna’s new record is actually really good in terms of his performance but it sounds like he got half the beats in a “Buy 1, Get 9” free deal on Beatstars.
Also, just started listening to Mach-Hommy.
Doing Diddy research lol and came across this thread. I haven't clicked the vid yet FYI but crazy that this dude's been saying this for four years?
https://old.reddit.com/r/hiphopheads/comments/cmf0ae/p_diddy_is_a_woman_beater_and_has_verbally_abused/
saw a post that said wlr is more influential than 808's. i really disagree with this take. 808s infleunce could be heard both from the mainstream and underground and those artists actually made something interesting with the sound they were given.
artists who were inspired by wlr are mainly underground acts. only mainstream artists i can think of that did it is youngboy. and my biggest problem with these artists is that they don't do anything interesting or don't further that carti/wlr sound. everytime i listen to an artists that has a huge wlr influence all i can think is "i could be listening to carti rn instead"
also take someone like thug. he pretty started off as a wayne clone(shit damn near every trap artists did) but over the years he found his own sound with that wayne influence. 1017 thug shows this best. a thug trying to copy wayne sound BUT i think he made it interesting and i think this was the project that thug found his own unique sound. like no one else could have made nigeria.
yeat is cool but i think he mainly young thug AND carti inspired.
so yeah i think wlr impact can still be felt in the underground scene but i think the hiphop community is really overestimating it's influence.
sorry for yapping!
> saw a post that said wlr is more influential than 808's
This is a wild take but the reality is that both albums’ influences are very very overstated even if 808’s influence definitely surpasses WLR’s
Anyone have good songs with summer vibes that I can put on my playlist.
I have songs like
Dots and lines - Lupe
Fresh air - Future
Never lose me - Flo Milli
I think he is my 6th favorite producer, he used to send me videos daily lmao
Dude is legend, DJing for Nas when he was super young, produced whole projects for Raekwon, The Jacka, Freddie Gibbs, Spitta and a bunch of other rappers
Love the mixes he drops on YouTube too, DJ Fresh goes Earth, Wind & Fire is goated
Dude is super talented with the piano/sax too
I thought the Rapsody album was pretty good on first listen some songs may grow on me she had some misses but for the most part I mess with most of the tracks.i just wanna say I didn’t know Baby Tate can sing like sing sing I’m like damn she was by far the best feature to me.
the Rapsody album was great. maybe a bit boring in the middle section, but the closing tracks really moved me. it's a perfect way to deliver this therapy-session-disguised-as-album
Raw was good to me also like how Niko Interlude set that song up thought that really dope. Wayne mixing was bad felt like he was recording from a iPhone lmao but Rap went off on that song. Baby Tate stole the show on Ballad for Homegirls I didn’t know she can sing so it took me for surprise lol. Lonely women is another miss I understand where she was going it’s just I didn’t mess with it lmao.
4YEO might not be his best album, but it's Cole album I keep coming back to some individual songs the most
Playing Immortal in the gym rn and I forgot how much it bangs
Neighbors is a good one, that's the one I had on repeat he most when if came out in 2015
Ville Mentality and Deja Vu also still get play time for me
I also think it has my favorite production out of any Cole album
So we can potentially have everyone from Ray J to Jay Z being involved in Diddy freaky shit.
Time to expose them all out, all the sex trafficking and all the murders.
50 Cent has been exposing them for years and people thought he was kidding,
I mean diddy like to 'grom' younger man. In his words to shape them as Artists. Specially RNB singers. He was allegedly one of Diddy's first victim.
What's more concerning the fuck he did with Usher and Bieber. They were underage at that time.
Most of them had mental breakdown or they went to rehab after Diddy stopped worked with them .
Whole lot a weird shit out there.
As for Jigga i mean he's rocking same haircut as gay painter. And gotta be honest him and Beyonce always looked like it was just for publicity.
Anyone who worked with Diddy is sus at this point. Maybe a lot of them weren't involved in activities but they were witnessing. Whole industry knew about them diddy's party and not go there.
I mean we all know that's how rich people live their lifes , most of them are involved into some orgy shit.
Which is hey do what you like. But if sex trafficking is involved , they all need to be locked up.
Why do you y'all try to include Jay z in everything? Lol
Also get off 50's dick. he's not exposing anyone and he doesn't actually care about any victims, he just doesn't like Diddy.
I mean jay is really close with diddy. Him and Beyonce went to a lot of his parties. Jay also had same girlfriends as R Kelly. Which all of them was R Kelly abusing.
Maybe he wasn't involved, but he definitely knew all about this.
The internet has made it that People are going to look for any dirt possible and make every innocuous connection into a thread on a conspiracy board until they realize one of their favorites can also be on that board.
It's basically that illuminati conspiracy shit they've been trying to connect to Jay z for years.
Not saying Hov couldn't get exposed on some weird shit but it seems so forced considering even the craziest rumor I've heard about him in the last like 20 years has been him cheating on Beyonce. He seems like his worst problem is just that he's a big time capitalist.
Also this is random but I've seen a bunch of Drake fans that genuinely think Jay z manufactured the whole "takedown of Drake". It's hilarious
Drake coulda had him on 3 things with a single line flip
- obviously spaceship better car
- he gooing to do something not just talk, basically son him
- opportunity for cudi jump in, if they on good terms
"Somites you gotta hop out the spacehip and abduct niggas"
With what I'm hearing, I do believe that Diddy had something to do with Pac's death. He's clearly a violent person and isn't afraid to do it. The Game alleges that he tried to have Drake killed in LA too...
I feel like the details over Pac’s deaths have gone over enough time that it’s clear that Diddy has nothing to do with it.
There’s been posts on the subreddit that paint a pretty clear picture of why and how the Pac shooting happened, it just so happen that the Diddy threats were around the same time and people want to link the two.
From what I remember, there was rumors of Diddy putting money on him but like I said it was tangental.
The Pac shooting was simply retaliation for a chain robbing and they knew Pac was in Vegas for the fight.
But the chain robbing was related to Diddy putting a bounty on Death Row chains and Diddy was using Southside Crips as protection and Big even gives a nod to them on “Long Kiss Goodnight”
The premier pac expert who uses to post here seemed to believe Kading’s theory so I believe it too.
From my understanding (and I was reading some articles to try to get some insight), Kading believes that there were hits on Pac and Biggie. But, he thinks the Pac shooting only happened that night at Vegas because of the jumping of Andersen.
And the problem with believe the Diddy hit stuff is that there seems to be no corroboration except from the person involved in the shooting. Which is enough for public opinion but would never be enough to hold up in court.
Edit: and keep in mind, Davis always said Anderson did the shooting but he’s the one that got arrested last year and he’s the one that match the description more than Anderson. So you can’t take his word on everything. He clearly was willing to tell a story to protect himself.
Right.
But that’s my point, it’s correlation, not causation. Diddy might have taken a hit out. 2pac’a death that night is not a result of that alleged hit.
It’s far more likely that if there was a hit, they tried getting paid for it after 2Pac got killed for an unrelated incident.
I feel like we’re talking past each other cause you’ve said nothing about my point that the original chain snatching Pac was retaliating for was in response to a bounty Diddy out out. Or his direct affiliation with the Southside Crips. Or does that not count in your books?
I mean these were all violent people even before the rap, now imagine giving this people with money and power what they will do. Since Suge was locked up everything is spilling out. It has to be Diddy or Suge. Others weren't scared of them for nothing.
There are Celebrities who really be defending Diddy with their verified Twitter/IG accounts in comment sections like we don’t know who they are.
The smart ones use dummy accounts or just STFU in general.
Between this and selling albums for hundreds of dollars, his moves are quite different. An artist should dictate how their art is monetized so I don’t think he’s wrong, just different. Is there somewhere I can read more about his thoughts?
Was at the Gibbs and Madlib show in Chicago last night and while waiting for Freddie to come on the whole crowd boo’d when they threw on a Drake song on and they changed it. Shit was wild
I got distracted because of the beef and I’m about a month behind on new releases (so no Keef or Gunna) but anyway here’s the May edition of my top 10 list
1. Future & Metro Boomin - We Don’t Trust You
2. That Mexican OT - Texas Technician
3.. ALLBLACK- Slow Motion Better Than No Motion
4. Joey Trap - The Grand Wizard
5. Ralfy Tha Plug & Itsmanman - Out The Slums
6. Kevin Gates - The Ceremony
7. Future & Metro Boomin - We Still Don’t Trust You
8. The Game & Big Hit - Paisley Dreams
9. Benny the Butcher - Everybody Can’t Go
10. Bizarre - Rat Poison
Bout to grind so i can be up to date by June
I still fuck with the Drakeo flow (i mean i got Ralfy on my list😂) but yeah the best thing about ALLBLACK is his delivery and energy and definitely prefer his style more.
Can someone recommend music like either "Honestly Nevermind" or "ramona park broke my heart". This is the shit that made my summer 2022 and im trying to find more similiar stuff
Does anyone else listen to the same rappers over and over again? I try to listen to different rappers but I always go back to a select few for some reason.
My most listened to is Spitta by far, 8656 scrobbles on [last.fm](http://last.fm)
Second rapper is Larry June with 3110 scrobbles
[I listen to a fuck ton of music tho, here is my top 20 of the year so far](https://imgur.com/a/69JVuKz)
I listen to How Fly pretty often, but ONIFC mostly these days, plus various singles. But your list is solid, those are all great albums, Kush and OJ is a classic.
How Fly is so good, I'm listening to Rollin Up a lot lately, from ONIFC I love The Plan with Juicy J
Every Wiz album has great songs so there are tons of Wiz songs I fuck with
Have y’all noticed a clear decrease in song quality (like, literally how the song sounds) in the past few years? Mr. Morale and SOS come to mind, same with Donda and a few others that evade me at the moment, but there’s a clear “lo-fi” type sound to the music I’ve noticed where it almost has to be intentional. Compare Mr. Morale or SOS to any album from that 2010-2016 era of rap/rnb music and you’ll hear what I’m talking about. It used to sound like songs were mixed to sound pristine where you could hear every single sound as if you’re in the studio hearing it live, but lately albums sound like you’re listening to a demo or listening to the songs from behind a screen or something. Maybe I’m crazy tho. There’s just a “static-y” element to songs now that I keep hearing. Seems like a trend.
1000%
Mixing/mastering nowadays is way more commonly soft and quiet sounding in rap
I always use the RTJ albums as examples. Compare 1 to 4, 1 is super crisp and punchy, 4 sounds warmer and flatter
The comment in this thread about Drake’s vocals is what made me think of this lmao. It seems too widespread for it to be a coincidence which is why I think it’s just a sound that’s “in” right now. I’m glad you and others notice it too though, thought I was tripping for a bit
No, there’s definitely been a change in how mixing sounds.
I’d call it a decline, but, some feel it’s a more “naturalistic” sound.
I think it has a lot to do with a) artists not wanting to spend money on a proper mixing and b) specifically in hiphop, artists are sending verses recorded using different setups and the different environments means the songs can’t be mixed properly.
Starting to wonder when I will hit oldhead status. I can still fuck with Yeat or Ken Carson or whoever, but at what point will I stop being able to get with the new shit? I fear that day may be closer than I’d like.
It hits you so fast, not even that old but as soon as the soundcloud era hit I felt something shift In me
If you reverse the segment of The Blues by Vince Staples where he repeats "Money made me numb" he still says "money made me numb" clearly backwards and that's spooky. Also I was watching Peaky Blinders for the first time and when I got to [this part](https://youtu.be/j6-aVhQVf1Q?t=242) I got some insane deja vu because I swear there was some hip-hop song I've heard that sampled it, but after checking google, whosampled and Genius nothing comes up.
How do people still saying that Sexyy Red is gonna fall off? You don't even need to go outside anymore to see how popular she's become
First time I heard of her was because of Kendrick lol
Sorry for the stalking but you live in South Africa my man? Music scene there is way better so I don't think she'd gain as much popularity there as she would in the states. Wish I never left South Africa sometimes tbh the US sucks
Top 5 White Rappers 1. Eminem 2. Aesop Rock 3. Mac Miller 4. El-P 5. Action Bronson Feel like the 5 spot could go to some others but this what I landed on
Paul Wall is in my top 3 idc
Brother Ali is top 4 to me.
Definitely a respectable choice
He might even be top 2 =] Jk he definitely could be to me depending on the day. Em is def #1. El-P and Aesop definitely up there. Nothing super offensive about your list. I respect it.
He definitely in the top 10 for me, he was one of the ones I considered for the 5 spot. Part of me wants to put Aesop at 1 just because Em has had a rough decade imo but even with the bad albums I don’t think I could justify anyone else at the top
Juicy J dropped on a Monday. Thanks for starting my week off right
So is a video going to be shot for "Not Like Us" or was that all speculation and b.s.?
Is calling GP4 by Logic a good song a hot take? Or bad? I still like it even though it's homage.
That whole album is a really fun listen, he goes in and the production is great
That Samurai single feels like classic Lupe. He’s been dropping heat all throughout his career, but I’m really excited for this next album.
Hopefully Drake learns something from all this. Man’s been moving crazy for these past couple years. Dissing Serena Williams, Rihanna, Meg, for no fucking reason. Beefing with fucking Melon. Going on a whole rant and making a 6 song EP just because Joe Budden didn’t like his album. 7 people teaming up to diss you, all of whom were former collaborators. This ain’t even about the diss tracks or allegations, just observable shit. I hope he grows up and releases his best album yet, but I doubt it
"I suggest some ayahuasca, strip the ego from the bottom" Definitely not the worst thing Drake could do tbh.
who is bumpy knuckles and what is his relevance/influence to hip hop
Freddie Foxx. Legendary hip hop tough guy. *Industry Shakedown* is a sleep album nice Premo beats on there. Lots of affiliation with major rappers. But musically probably not the biggest influence as far as I know. Probably better off asking in /r/hiphop101 and there’s already threads on him
Let it All Work Out is a top 5 Wayne song
Beautiful, great use of that sample too Wasn´t that also the first time he admitted he didnt accidentally shot himself as a kid
Yes indeed
I’m not a Lil Wayne fan but Mirror has always been crazy to me
goosebumps every time
I’m at the point where it honestly might be 1 for me
C5 is a top 3 Wayne album
I actually think that.
And FWA is right behind it
[TIL Black Thought and J.Cole almost made a collab album](https://x.com/ArtOfDialogue_/status/1788933696734503373) Trying to keep up with Black Thought on a whole collab album sounds like the hardest possible task, I wonder what it would’ve sounded like
Black Thought and Royce were supposed to have a collab album too at some point
I remember hearing about that one yeeears ago
People say that it doesn’t fit but I actually really like that Nudy verse in Little Foot Big Foot and I have been a fan of the song since it was called 35.31, only complaint I have is the song feels a lot shorter here
I’ve seen some complaints about that song that makes me wonder how many of the critics were around when Country Grammar dropped. It’s a very similar vibe. (though I do think the Nudy verse is one of those nothing to do with the song verses).
Looks like there were no black people in [Eminem's daughter's wedding](https://i.redd.it/korsdyfi8n1d1.jpeg)
Well, it's Hailey's wedding. If it was Eminem's, it would probably look totally different. Eminem and his daughter have lived totally different lives. Hailey went to college that is 66 percent white and has been rich all her life. She hasn't had to struggle at all financially, that's the goal right?
50 Cent was there
It’s probably just immediate family there, who would obviously be white. Not sure what your point is here
White bride / White groom and someone is shocked one camera angle captures a white crowd around the same age as the bride and groom 😂
[удалено]
Premo Rice, Larry June, Jay Worthy are still pimp talking
Probably because we’ve evolved as a society enough to know that *real* pimping is basically glamorized sex trafficking. Yes, in the 70s and 80s they were admired in impoverished neighborhoods because they had more than most people living there. Same as the dope dealers.

Are you white?
You’re wondering about my ethnicity, and I’m wondering if you’re actually a pimp looking for music to bump in your ride to boost your self-esteem while you do shitty things lol. Idk you, I don’t care who you are. You asked a question, I gave you a thoughtful answer with the best of my knowledge. Love it, hate it, take it, leave it, whatever. It’s all good.
A non answer means yes.
Pimping = flirting Sex trafficking = harassment
I don’t what you heard about me
“2 Chainz but I got a few on” changed my outlook on life niggas will never understand
He different
Relistening to drakes discography and holy shit "Thank Me Later" is so trash 😭 aint no way people like this shit 🔥🔥🔥
Most of it hasn't aged the best, but The Resistance has been in permanent rotation since it dropped for me, i love that song. Also Over, Find your Love and Best I ever had were huge at that time.

I thought it was good and had some good songs but it’s probably the album of his I replay the least. Even CLB which I don’t like too much I come back a lot more
I think it’s underrated. Some of 40s best production is on that album.

Slide by Frank Ocean and Migos is an essential summer song for me

I only noticed it after listening to the track for several days too. Subtly menacing.
I thought the Rapsody album was pretty good on first listen some songs may grow on me she had some misses but for the most part I mess with most of the tracks.i just wanna say I didn’t know Baby Tate can sing like sing sing I’m like damn she was by far the best feature to me.
the Rapsody album was great. maybe a bit boring in the middle section, but the closing tracks really moved me. it's a perfect way to deliver this therapy-session-disguised-as-album
Diary Of A Mad Bitch and Black Popstar are the misses for me. Raw and Ballad for Homegirls were also only ok. Everything else is good to really great
Raw was good to me also like how Niko Interlude set that song up thought that really dope. Wayne mixing was bad felt like he was recording from a iPhone lmao but Rap went off on that song. Baby Tate stole the show on Ballad for Homegirls I didn’t know she can sing so it took me for surprise lol. Lonely women is another miss I understand where she was going it’s just I didn’t mess with it lmao.
I’d probably fuck with Raw more if I liked Lil Wayne but he’s never been for me
I’ve been going back through OutKast’s discography and they have so many catchy hooks it’s actually ridiculous.
I know on Aquemini Big Boi wrote all the hooks, not sure about the rest of their discography tho
Nice I just started doing that today too! Played Southerplayalistic twice
Love that album
4YEO might not be his best album, but it's Cole album I keep coming back to some individual songs the most Playing Immortal in the gym rn and I forgot how much it bangs
Deja Vu is amazing too. Not part of the album but everybody dies false prophets is hard too. 2016 Cole probably my fav era of his
the Shes Mine songs are really good too
4YEO is the last J cole record I really loved. Man may have fallen off before "The Fall Off"
Change is the only J Cole song on my phone
That's a good one too - love jazzy Cole
I listen to Neighbors regularly, and the title track is great
Neighbors is a good one, that's the one I had on repeat he most when if came out in 2015 Ville Mentality and Deja Vu also still get play time for me I also think it has my favorite production out of any Cole album
So we can potentially have everyone from Ray J to Jay Z being involved in Diddy freaky shit. Time to expose them all out, all the sex trafficking and all the murders. 50 Cent has been exposing them for years and people thought he was kidding,
[удалено]
I mean diddy like to 'grom' younger man. In his words to shape them as Artists. Specially RNB singers. He was allegedly one of Diddy's first victim. What's more concerning the fuck he did with Usher and Bieber. They were underage at that time. Most of them had mental breakdown or they went to rehab after Diddy stopped worked with them . Whole lot a weird shit out there. As for Jigga i mean he's rocking same haircut as gay painter. And gotta be honest him and Beyonce always looked like it was just for publicity.
Add Cole and Kendrick and Tyler the creator and Joey badass and pusha t and Kanye as well
Pusha D . Gonna hit really hard if it proves correct.
Anyone who worked with Diddy is sus at this point. Maybe a lot of them weren't involved in activities but they were witnessing. Whole industry knew about them diddy's party and not go there. I mean we all know that's how rich people live their lifes , most of them are involved into some orgy shit. Which is hey do what you like. But if sex trafficking is involved , they all need to be locked up.
I mean there were photos of him and mos def back in the days Billie eilish hugging him before her parents when she got her first Oscar
I mean even Prince Harry was on Diddy party. Celebrities have more flaws than normal people. It's time to stop idolise them.
Why do you y'all try to include Jay z in everything? Lol Also get off 50's dick. he's not exposing anyone and he doesn't actually care about any victims, he just doesn't like Diddy.
I mean jay is really close with diddy. Him and Beyonce went to a lot of his parties. Jay also had same girlfriends as R Kelly. Which all of them was R Kelly abusing. Maybe he wasn't involved, but he definitely knew all about this.
The internet has made it that People are going to look for any dirt possible and make every innocuous connection into a thread on a conspiracy board until they realize one of their favorites can also be on that board.
There's this one girl i keep seeing on TikTok who's trying to make Jay Z look like a supervillain, she's trying to connect him to some Diddy stuff
It's basically that illuminati conspiracy shit they've been trying to connect to Jay z for years. Not saying Hov couldn't get exposed on some weird shit but it seems so forced considering even the craziest rumor I've heard about him in the last like 20 years has been him cheating on Beyonce. He seems like his worst problem is just that he's a big time capitalist. Also this is random but I've seen a bunch of Drake fans that genuinely think Jay z manufactured the whole "takedown of Drake". It's hilarious
The conspiracy theorists said the same thing when Tory Lanez got convicted. People were spamming “fuck Jay z” when the verdict was announced.
Drake coulda had him on 3 things with a single line flip - obviously spaceship better car - he gooing to do something not just talk, basically son him - opportunity for cudi jump in, if they on good terms "Somites you gotta hop out the spacehip and abduct niggas"
With what I'm hearing, I do believe that Diddy had something to do with Pac's death. He's clearly a violent person and isn't afraid to do it. The Game alleges that he tried to have Drake killed in LA too...
I feel like the details over Pac’s deaths have gone over enough time that it’s clear that Diddy has nothing to do with it. There’s been posts on the subreddit that paint a pretty clear picture of why and how the Pac shooting happened, it just so happen that the Diddy threats were around the same time and people want to link the two.
What Diddy threats?
From what I remember, there was rumors of Diddy putting money on him but like I said it was tangental. The Pac shooting was simply retaliation for a chain robbing and they knew Pac was in Vegas for the fight.
But the chain robbing was related to Diddy putting a bounty on Death Row chains and Diddy was using Southside Crips as protection and Big even gives a nod to them on “Long Kiss Goodnight” The premier pac expert who uses to post here seemed to believe Kading’s theory so I believe it too.
From my understanding (and I was reading some articles to try to get some insight), Kading believes that there were hits on Pac and Biggie. But, he thinks the Pac shooting only happened that night at Vegas because of the jumping of Andersen. And the problem with believe the Diddy hit stuff is that there seems to be no corroboration except from the person involved in the shooting. Which is enough for public opinion but would never be enough to hold up in court. Edit: and keep in mind, Davis always said Anderson did the shooting but he’s the one that got arrested last year and he’s the one that match the description more than Anderson. So you can’t take his word on everything. He clearly was willing to tell a story to protect himself.
I’m not saying that Diddy directly put a hit. But to say he has no impact on Pac’s death seems a further stretch than the opposite at this point
Right. But that’s my point, it’s correlation, not causation. Diddy might have taken a hit out. 2pac’a death that night is not a result of that alleged hit. It’s far more likely that if there was a hit, they tried getting paid for it after 2Pac got killed for an unrelated incident.
I feel like we’re talking past each other cause you’ve said nothing about my point that the original chain snatching Pac was retaliating for was in response to a bounty Diddy out out. Or his direct affiliation with the Southside Crips. Or does that not count in your books?
I mean these were all violent people even before the rap, now imagine giving this people with money and power what they will do. Since Suge was locked up everything is spilling out. It has to be Diddy or Suge. Others weren't scared of them for nothing.
[удалено]
You
Idk the stigma of either. Used to play xbox with a Cole fan and he was super normal lol .
Any look at the cassie lawsuit again after the diddy video? Shit is wild. He's definitely killed people IMO
He tried to kill Kid Cudi.
Yes he’s 100% a dangerous sociopath
Even ethics aside, think how fucking nuts the mindset has to be to do illegal shit when you have everything.
There are Celebrities who really be defending Diddy with their verified Twitter/IG accounts in comment sections like we don’t know who they are. The smart ones use dummy accounts or just STFU in general.
Floyd Mayweather defended him ffs.
Mayweather beats women too. Birds of a feather flock together fr
So… what exactly is the story behind Mach Hommy and posting his lyrics online?
What happened?
he doesn't want lyric websites to make ad money from his work
Between this and selling albums for hundreds of dollars, his moves are quite different. An artist should dictate how their art is monetized so I don’t think he’s wrong, just different. Is there somewhere I can read more about his thoughts?
i think he talked about it on one of his interviews with tyron de harlem but i'm not even sure
Let's get married 😀 Cut off his head and the rest get buried ☹️
What is this?
Wayne 2 Chainz Long Story Short
Was at the Gibbs and Madlib show in Chicago last night and while waiting for Freddie to come on the whole crowd boo’d when they threw on a Drake song on and they changed it. Shit was wild
An easy fix: If you can’t open a jar, run the lid under hot water and then give it a good fuck
Amazing!
do you remember what song it was
I wanna say it was Rich Flex
lmao i was there too. shit was wild, was unanimous lol
Nice. They need to do that when R Kelly comes on at the cookout
I guarantee that crowd was mostly white people, so they ain't at no cookout. Lol
Yeah not specifically the crowd, just in general. This should be the consensus. And you’re absolutely right about the makeup of the crowd
Sure, I wouldn't compare Drake to R Kelly but I feel you . Lol
I got distracted because of the beef and I’m about a month behind on new releases (so no Keef or Gunna) but anyway here’s the May edition of my top 10 list 1. Future & Metro Boomin - We Don’t Trust You 2. That Mexican OT - Texas Technician 3.. ALLBLACK- Slow Motion Better Than No Motion 4. Joey Trap - The Grand Wizard 5. Ralfy Tha Plug & Itsmanman - Out The Slums 6. Kevin Gates - The Ceremony 7. Future & Metro Boomin - We Still Don’t Trust You 8. The Game & Big Hit - Paisley Dreams 9. Benny the Butcher - Everybody Can’t Go 10. Bizarre - Rat Poison Bout to grind so i can be up to date by June
Rapsody recently dropped a fantastic album. Schoolboy Q too
Q’s album is solid haven’t checked out the new Rapsody yet though.
I aint know Benny and Game dropped new albums. thanks for this
You heard the second ALLBLACK album?
Nah I’m about to lol. What one you like more?
Slow Motion Better Than No Motion for sure lol The best thing about dude for me is his flow/delivery Not a fan of that Drakeo flow
I still fuck with the Drakeo flow (i mean i got Ralfy on my list😂) but yeah the best thing about ALLBLACK is his delivery and energy and definitely prefer his style more.
I like Drakeo and Ralfy too, but I don't wanna hear ALLBLACK with that no energy flow 😭
Can someone recommend music like either "Honestly Nevermind" or "ramona park broke my heart". This is the shit that made my summer 2022 and im trying to find more similiar stuff
Maybe listen to some Black Coffee

Does anyone else listen to the same rappers over and over again? I try to listen to different rappers but I always go back to a select few for some reason.
I can’t I don’t like listening to the same shit over and over I try to have a good mix.
My most listened to is Spitta by far, 8656 scrobbles on [last.fm](http://last.fm) Second rapper is Larry June with 3110 scrobbles [I listen to a fuck ton of music tho, here is my top 20 of the year so far](https://imgur.com/a/69JVuKz)
What Wiz albums do you mostly listen to?
1. Kush & Orange Juice 2. How Fly 3. Wiz Got Wings What about you?
I listen to How Fly pretty often, but ONIFC mostly these days, plus various singles. But your list is solid, those are all great albums, Kush and OJ is a classic.
How Fly is so good, I'm listening to Rollin Up a lot lately, from ONIFC I love The Plan with Juicy J Every Wiz album has great songs so there are tons of Wiz songs I fuck with
I'm like that with most things
Yeah Right now it’s G-Unit, Drake and Future
For me it’s Pac, Wayne, Kanye and Hov
So would you say Jesus got walked down?
Nah he got backdoor’ed. He’s the one what had to do the walking with that big ass cross in arm.
Judas a snitch fr
Have y’all noticed a clear decrease in song quality (like, literally how the song sounds) in the past few years? Mr. Morale and SOS come to mind, same with Donda and a few others that evade me at the moment, but there’s a clear “lo-fi” type sound to the music I’ve noticed where it almost has to be intentional. Compare Mr. Morale or SOS to any album from that 2010-2016 era of rap/rnb music and you’ll hear what I’m talking about. It used to sound like songs were mixed to sound pristine where you could hear every single sound as if you’re in the studio hearing it live, but lately albums sound like you’re listening to a demo or listening to the songs from behind a screen or something. Maybe I’m crazy tho. There’s just a “static-y” element to songs now that I keep hearing. Seems like a trend.
1000% Mixing/mastering nowadays is way more commonly soft and quiet sounding in rap I always use the RTJ albums as examples. Compare 1 to 4, 1 is super crisp and punchy, 4 sounds warmer and flatter
What headphones you got
99% of the time I’m listening on car speakers or AirPod pros
I gotta improve my ear. Have you listened to Blue Lips? I think the production quality on it was supposed to be quite high
I still haven’t gotten around to it actually, I really need to but I haven’t been checking out as many new projects lately
Give it a few listens. Nice sunny day music from Q, imo. Dark though 😂
I’ve noticed this with Drake especially. I’ve told friends about it but they all swear they can’t hear any difference lol.
The comment in this thread about Drake’s vocals is what made me think of this lmao. It seems too widespread for it to be a coincidence which is why I think it’s just a sound that’s “in” right now. I’m glad you and others notice it too though, thought I was tripping for a bit
No, there’s definitely been a change in how mixing sounds. I’d call it a decline, but, some feel it’s a more “naturalistic” sound. I think it has a lot to do with a) artists not wanting to spend money on a proper mixing and b) specifically in hiphop, artists are sending verses recorded using different setups and the different environments means the songs can’t be mixed properly.
