i really wish wiki blew up more. i know he's still getting around and is well embedded in the NY scene but he really deserved better. every time he's been on the brink of amazing things for his career happening it's blown up. Ratking, Secret Circle, NMIM getting f***ed by XL...

Secret Circle

there's a second tape but it was only released on mediafire lmao

You talking 700 or am I thinking of something else?

ya

what are Hak & Sporting Life up to? I know the latter has produced for MIKE (and i think Navy Blue?) at least once recently

TF

S/o MediaFire the 🐐 but I don't remember that being the only way it was released 💀

How did XL do No Mountains In Manhattan dirty? (Not denying just don't remember anything in particular)

Swear Hak dropped that solo in 2015(?) and disappeared after that

man got cancelled/black balled. was on some weirdo s*** sounded like

hence the end of ratking

yeah album got shelved a few times then finally after delays got released with a highly reduced marketing budget. wiki said he appreciated his manager during that time and the tour bookings and stuff but he got major screwed in marketing and stuff; think he deleted the tweets now.

Preciate the info

Smfh wiki work so hard and is so talented and like you said already took too many Ls outside of his control up that point

F***

"No one knows exactly how or why Ratking broke up, and the internet is buzzing with questions. So I ask what happened. Hak avoids a clear answer: "Too many cooks in the kitchen and too many men. I need balance." Hak admits he's a "rowdy boy," a troublemaker. But that explanation doesn't make sense to me. Hak's a poet. And he was moving in a different direction than his bandmates. A year after 700fill, Ratking's final album, Hak is a coveted image of cool. Multiple brands have asked him to star in, style, and shoot their campaigns. (Under Ratking's Youtube videos, amid all the praise for Ratking's musical stylings, is the occasional comment "Hak's hot.")

Leaving Ratking meant a change in lifestyle, which Hak welcomed. But it was hard. For years these guys were his days and they experienced the world together. While Hak says, "fame is illusory" and "dollars burn but dreams don't," he still walked out on most boys' fantasies: New York magazine called him "the future of New York hip-hop."

It boils down to "it didn't feel right." After rolling around the world with his clique of rabble-rousers, Hak needed air and space. "It's all love that I project towards them, but I just felt like I wasn't being treated nicely to keep it in a hunnid, they didn't see me for me." Hak's dreams are different from theirs"

Hak cap

Absolute legends. Puerto Rican judo is princess Nokias first song? Is that true?

700 till got s*** on but I liked it. Wish it was on streaming. Despots steep tech verse is one of my favourites. Saw wiki the other night and was disappointed he only did one rat king song (100)

Who runs the ratking twitter and why has it turned into a strange flat earth crypto style account

Damn I didn't know that about Nokia

I'VE BEEN LIVING MY WHOLE LIFE JUST TRYING TO MAKE IT WORK

WHETHER IT'S SPITTING OR IT'S WRITING TRYING TO MAKE IT WORK

ALL OF THESE B****ES THEY LYING MAN IT MAKES ME BESERK

JUST GOTTA MAKE IT WORK...JUST CAN'T SEEM TO MAKE IT WORK...

No clue

i always felt like wiki helped work on a lot of princess nokia's first s***

Saw them open for Animal Collective 7 years ago and even got to meet Wiki at the merch stand toward the end of AnCo's set

great start to what ended up being an even greater year

i see hak at the harlem whole foods frequently, i hoop with sport at 14th st y & randomly see wiki in the lower east side regularly

ngl wiki & sport were the truth, there was def a lane for them to thrive in post hak

Hooping with sport

I'm not sure what sport is up to but wiki for sure doing good for himself

What makes you think this
