I can’t imagine anything worse than listening to Yachty and Andrew Schulz have a conversation
Drake was "genuinely unfazed" by his beef with Kendrick Lamar, according to Lil Yachty
"He didn't give a f*ck, he was genuinely unfazed. [...] That sh*t didn't bother him. As he shouldn't, he's the f*cking guy."

the obvious pick here is MF DOOM, but who else? I personally got Vince Staples, Kendrick, billy woods, ELUCID, AH, Blockhead
name rappers with a flawless discography (as in, there’s not one album they’ve dropped that you kinda wish they didn’t)

💯 expecting past collaborators + associates to immediately come out with statements when they might be finding out in real time like us is nuts, spreading awareness and supporting the victims is what we need, instantly pointing fingers at others is counter productive imo

WELCOME TO SOUTH AFRICA WHERE THEY TELL YOU APARTHEID WAS 30 YEARS AGO AND WE GOTTA GET OVER IT NOW
NEW: Security camera footage of the attack on Black teens at a pool in South Africa provides a more complete picture of what happened. You can see a white man stopping the boys at the gate & almost all the white swimmers getting out of the pool when one of the teens gets in.

not liking hitler being plastered across 10 albums really doesn't mean you don't get it. "that was the whole point!" really doesn't mean shit. everyone gets it, it's not that smart? some people (like me) think it's fucking corny
the outlandishness of the whole thing is the entire point of the series. obviously people’s initial reactions are understandable, but thats my whole point about why his music isn’t for the masses, he knows that and never sacrificed his artistic vision to get to that level either

Every release Armand Hammer gets bigger, which means every release my hope that they come to South Africa to perform jumps up. I mean, it's surely inevitable at this point? Provided we still have some electricity in a couple years. Come oooon. Sleep on my couch.

u tweet "oh so flying girls out is trafficking now" in response to + in the context of diddy being indicted for sex trafficking, you look like u defending diddy. if you're "looking out for other rappers", you either downplaying heinous shit or don't understand what trafficking is

world news sub on Reddit is crazy, I got banned from commenting for criticising Israel, every single comment is constantly attacking Palestinians and upping Israel’s “right to self-defence”. No discourse cause all Palestine supporters get banned. The biggest news sub on Reddit.

man called AESOP ROCK a discount EARL SWEATSHIRT. opinions are subjective and all that but this is some of the dumbest shit I've read in my life.
@MattDraugos
His writing isn’t elite. There’s more to writing that just making multiple syllables rhyme. His songs are lame and corny. He makes boring music. He’s like a discount earl sweatshirt. And I love earl. But he’s boring af too.

I am 29 (!) years old today. Old and washed, but young and thriving. Happy to be alive and grateful for family, friends, and rap. I've also connected with a lot of cool heads and started making music with some amazing artists in the last 12 months. Looking forward to the future.

what a response
@gaaavie
I get what you’re trying to say - they’re currently making better music than all of their peers. And I’m not mad at your list. But “best alive right now?” Like Big Daddy Kane and Slick Rick are still alive. Is Vince Staples a better rapper than Slick Rick to you? If so, Godspeed.
