I'm so glad the list happened cus 5AM in Toronto is f***ing nuts

Ye going from completely sensible to I gave sway his first TV will always be hilarious 🤣

Lupe fiasco went off and dropped Enemy of the state

so good

He was coming off the Life is Good album, and it was pretty good

Was taking him wife through the timeline last night and that was one of the songs we listened to, he was rappin his ass off on there

“I gave Sway his first TV, and he ain’t remember 😐” dial tone
whats wrong with this nigga? lmaoo

Never heard that Ye interview, hard

After all this time I still am like its no way Sway went through the entire 80s & 90s without having a TV

Even funnier that the list basically died after that year. It popped back up in 2016 then never again

its crazy that everyone thought ye spazzing out back then, little did we know.....

"just imagine if they caught me on a wild day"

It’s so cool how much of a competitive culture hip-hop used to be. A publication could drop a Hottest MCs List right now and nobody would give a damn whatsoever

nigga even said “they’ll only accept you if you dress like you Tribe”

man in hindsight the MC list might have snapped Kanye lmfaoooo

Just an aside it really is crazy how back in the day getting somebody a good TV or getting your own was a big deal. And it was just like a 32-35" big back s*** and those were like $1000 or more. I went to a grocery store yesterday and saw them selling 50" UHD SmartTVs for $150

Crazy we went from competitive s*** talk to Viet banning you for making fun of his favorite pop star

tvs are literally just another data collection device now lol

Eh to be fair you had Brainfeeder on KTT1 being a dork and banning people who would disrespect Kendrick and TDE. Not much has changed tbh

f*** I miss those times

S***s corny as well too, but at least he eventually fizzled out and talked like a human being

Viet offers absolutely nothing at this point, at least allow us to block him and his threads

Rap lowkey more fun when lists like this are being made and rappers be tryna make the list. Niggas was legit putting out great music cause they wanna make these lists lmao

I desperately need hip hop to be this competitive again, this aint even nostalgia those days were simply better

there’s an entire conversation about the acceptance of lacking literacy in art having a profound effect on the seriousness in which these artists take their platforms

it’s why the entire point of NLU is about Drake not being a honest, critical man, but rather a laissez-faire king who’d rather not insert his opinion as to not upset the status quo leading to the ever present “if you don’t like it, just don’t listen. keep your opinion to yourself” that has quickly risen this decade versus any other time in critically a***yzing art and the constructive conversations that come from it and artists reading those criticisms and hitting the gym like they Kobe

now they just go chuck up 3s all practice like they the Celtics, hit or miss, win or lose, keep chucking and ignore the critics
