This is really an easy google search to know guys

FOLLOWING THE RELEASE OF "THE HEART PART 5," ACTRESS LAUREN LONDON GAVE KENDRICK LAMAR'S REFERENCE TO NIPSEY HUSSLE THE STAMP OF APPROVAL.

"My curiosity about who he really was started to grow from that moment in time. Was he a product of Crenshaw and Slauson? Was he a radical? Or was he a thinker? That mystique kept me engaged throughout his life and career," Lamar wrote about Hussle. "Time surely revealed itself. I realized Nipsey was all of those perspectives. But most importantly, he was a vessel from God."

Went to both tours, they were definitely louder for Cole than Dot

f*** him

4:44 is some of the better Jay Z to me but even that is somewhat calculated. its Jay man I will only ever expect him to so much toe the line and speak truth to power

He will do a Jay Electronica album but he will never make an album himself that really speaks fully. He will go on stage at an award show saying its a travesty beyonce didn't win but wont dissect it

He will work with the NFL, Gentrify with barclays and say capitalist was a word made up to oppress him.

He cool but its not shocking for someone to think a billionaire mogul in some ways sold out

What in the spiritual lyrical miracle

No hate at all to him. Glad he making money and hope he gets another genuine album I like that drops. I know rumors of him dropping this year. I want less of the theatrics for the cameras at award shows and put your truth into your music. He seems afraid to speak his truth out of fear to lose deals he has set up to make money

I don't think he cares about his image at this point, for sure tho he evolved past hov in terms of controlling the narrative what with his Hands in the epicenter of the social media culture

Do you even sleep

Ye chiming in with his trash verse is so funny. Tinfoil hat old guy screaming "i was right all along" vibes

has the boy stopped crying yet

I would never expect Jay to ever be a revolutionary to any degree. He’s just gonna encourage black entrepreneurship and that’s about it.

How he did Dame and how he technically did Lupe. Obviously Jay Z did the right thing for himself and thats good overall but throughout most of Lupe career and even to this day feel he kind of could have paid him back for the fake out that lead him to one of the worst record deals of all time

According to Chilly, Lupe signed to Atlantic Records because Jay Z told him he was going to get a high level position with the label. "This is how it went," Chilly began. "I'll never forget it. Jay Z hit me like, 'Yo, I’m coming to Atlantic Records. I'm going to to be the president of Atlantic Records.' LA Reid was my man. I introduced LA Reid to Jay Z. That's how they got tight. So Jay's like, 'I'm coming to Atlantic. I need you and Lupe over at Atlantic with me.' I’m like, 'cool.' I'm thinking Jay's coming to Atlantic so I do the deal."

Chilly went on to say he remembers the exact moment Jay broke the news that he went to the other label instead. "When I get out of jail, Jay hit me ,  I'll never forget it ,  at two in the morning like, 'Yo, LA Reid hit me and offered me the president of Def Jam. I'll give you your masters, I'll give you this, I'll give you this.' It was a courtesy call on some brother s***, but really he was telling me he wasn't coming to Atlantic. I'm like, 'N*gga, you'd be stupid not to f*** with LA. This n*gga is giving you your masters back. This n*gga’s making you president.' You know, the whole s*** with him and Dame Dash was crumbling. I'm like, 'Yo, n*gga, you fixing to be that n*gga. I'm not salty.' We cool because I could've went with anybody."
