It's Friday, drop a hot take!

• Logic's been on a run since he dropped No Pressure. I get that ktt will always dislike him and that's cool but I personally think he's so much better now after ditching Def Jam. His latest album ULTRA 85 is insane, might just be one of the best things he's ever dropped.

• Carti is low-key just dropping duds at this point and doesn't know where to take his career.

• People complain about how bad rap has gotten but don't care about searching for s*** they like (and yes I get how hard it can be)

• Drake

• Kendrick is going to absolutely bring out Wayne during the super bowl and people got no reason to be pissed about how he's not headlining it.

• Country music really isn't bad at all. It's just super formulaic.

• Kanye needs to go back to his era of Gospel and Sunday Service if he wants to drop something groundbreaking.

• Female rap is overhated.

• Uzi is washed up he needs to move and grow with his fan base. He keeps dropping stuff trying to recreate his 2016 stuff and it's not hitting because his fan base is no longer 17.

• Born Sinner is J Cole's best work shout out @Aquilla

• Rap and rock and roll mixes like Aerosmith & Run DMC or Beastie Boys have to make a comeback. S*** is hard.

• Dej Loaf is extremely underrated.

• Big Sean has never been corny. People just don't like punchline rap because they are too stupid to understand it.

• Yung Lean, Lil B, Chief Keef, Riff Raff, Soulja Boy basically founded your favorite rapper. Stop writing them off as a joke or meme because they aren't traditional rappers. They pushed the boundaries to the extreme and perfected it.

Gunna best live hip hop performer rn. might be a hot take for some

jpegmafia overhyped

As a huge Drake fan he’s not a better performer than

Kendrick
Kenny Mason
Smino
JID
Mick Jenkins
JPEG
J.Cole
Tyler the creator

People only care about [redacted] like that because she died

You seen him.perform live? My favorite performer of all time was Rich Homie Quan (rip).

I remember he did a show with like 50 of us in the audience. Dude interacted with all of us. Did like 13 songs, and then an extra bonus cause someone bought him an orange juice and vodka. After the show he was talking to everyone and taking pics of they wanted. just all around a solid good dude.

stop blueballing niggas by bringing s*** up and not saying it

I remember someone said this about Nipsey and actually got mad.

didnt ask

oh boy

Who could this be about

seen him a few times in the last year. he’s not a theatrical guy but very impressive to me that he doesnt use backing vocals and his breath control is some of the best as far as performers go

Oh wait nah I know

just be a man and say aaliyah

Uzi take

Taking bets. Selena, Aaliyah, Sophie, Amy winehouse

Lmao I know it’s you cause only you would hype up logic

He was a really good singer

Yup

Future high off life is disliked for no reason and is much better than most albums he released immediately before and after

how’ve you been bro? Also I’d say nothing he’s released post retirement is better than

No pressure
Under pressure
T***

Also I saw him live last year twin

The Drake/Kendrick beef is the only thing keeping people from realizing the days of hip-hop as the dominant genre are over. Blogs are trying to drag this beef because no one cares about anything else in the genre. Drake and Kendrick will have exceptional numbers in 2025 and everyone else will continue to decline.

this i agree with 100%

Been good just been living life, missed this place. Finally glad to have been able to come back and get some good news discussions going.

Also I actually disagree. Those are all great albums but Ultra 85 and College park (minus the skits) are fire too.
