I got a good one:
People understate the influence of Lex Lugers production

that’s not a hot take

Could be. Some people are convinced "metro started trap"

People are afraid to evolve

Looking at you @LilUziVert

Most people don’t grow up. It’s too damn difficult. What happens is most people get older. That’s the truth of it. They honor their credit cards, they find parking spaces, they marry, they have the nerve to have children, but they don’t grow up. Not really. They get older. But to grow up costs the earth. It means responsibility for the time you take up, for the space you occupy. It’s serious business. And you find out what it costs us to love and to lose, to dare and to fail. And maybe even more, to succeed.

Nas has a few albums better than any Jay album, beat him in the beef and has dropped better late career albums. How he is not unanimously ahead of Jay in the GOAT lists speaks to what a brilliant marketer/businessman Jay is imo

Real s*** bro

Your understanding of music & the ideas/feelings it can address, and your capacity to explore beyond the preset tastes in your palette grows with age, it doesn’t diminish

bordering on may and there hasn’t been a single rap album of note

including scaring the hoes mid

Mike & Keys - Formula One OUT NOW

Though it’s an instrumental album and I’ll assure you it won’t sCaRe tHe hOeS

Getting ya balls sucked on don’t feel good. B that s*** feel weird. Just suck my d***.

Drumma Boy is the real unsung hero of birthing trap, at least these days. Used to get brought up more

Sucked? Correct. Licked? Different convo

gasoline by the weeknd is one of the worst songs ever made

I don’t know a single Prince song

Young Nudy - Gumbo

Aka make off beat s*** over weird production

The US is collapsing and nobody is paying attention or cares. They're too self-absorbed and warped in their own little worlds. It's over.

Garbage at this point
dude was killing it years ago
now hes on some weird s***

not a hot take

@DAVlDP what are your thoughts on this Kanye speech at Oxford University in 2015?

KANYE WEST COMPARES "THE MATRIX" TO THE BIBLE

“There’s a Bible saying, ‘No weapon formed against me shall prosper’. Recently I’ve been doing interviews and I’ve had to go back to this verse because I don’t think there’s a living celebrity with more weapons formed against them, but I also don’t think there’s one more prosperous. So what weapons have prospered? The smoke and mirrors of other opinions.

“I was sitting with Steve McQueen, he shot the visuals for All Day 2 days ago, it’s completely different to the Brit awards.

“So it doesn’t get taken out of context, I’m going to use the word ‘like’. I’m not saying it is, I’m using it as a comparison. So people that want to say ‘Kanye goes to Oxford and tells everyone blah blah blah’. And I’m not telling you this. I’m telling you what I told Steve McQueen in private.

“What I said was The Matrix is like the Bible of the post-information age.

“I compared it like, when the hundred guys come at Neo, those are opinions, that’s perception, that’s tradition. Attacking people from every which angle possible. If you have a focus wide and master senseis like Laurence Fishburne and you have a squad behind you, you literally can put the world in slow motion.

It was a successful attempt as we all know
