And DAMN was criticized by TPAB lovers lmaooo

real time i saw swathes of people complaining after each album, tpab critic bait, damn too plain and dumbed down, etc etc

You right Lmaoo

I just want drake fans to let go of Control man lol. Seems like both him and kendrick done it, why dont yall follow suit?

You're silly if you think I make ANY thread to engage in ''stan wars.'' I even label some of my threads as ''discussion'' so people know not to come in there to talk s***. Stan wars don't accomplish anything.

Some of you just like to assume that when I make a thread, because I'm a Drake fan, there must be some agenda. Y'all used to do that s*** when I'd make threads about the biggest albums, songs, artists of the year or the most streamed artists of the year and claim I only did that to praise Drake like it's my fault he's bigger than the rest of y'alls favorite rappers.

-proves everybody's point in the last paragraph.

you are known as one of the worst users here for a reason

still waiting on her collab with sgp s*** would go schizo

It's just weird how people be saying NY hates on the south when there have been so many collaborations between NY rappers and southern producers since the 80s and 90s.

S***, NY rappers in the 90s had so much love for southern rappers and groups like Scarface/Geto Boys, 8Ball & MJG, and of course UGK. Biggie and Jay Z would often praise Scarface and would even say they got some of their flows from him. There was never shame and it was basically just real recognize real. Lotta NY producers would even cite the sample work/production from 2 Live Crew as influential and the feeling was mutual because they'd be pulling from some of the most random records to sample.

Feel like the only people still pushing the NY vs south narrative are nerds who were born in 2000 who only started to really follow rap/hip-hop in the 2010s. These people really think niggas was region locked or some s*** back in the day and nah the actual reality is niggas from all over were collabing and f***ing with each other's music.

That album has a 96/100 on metacritic and was rated the #1 album of the year on damn near every publication's year-end list. Yes, some people might have said they didn't enjoy it but that didn't stop them from calling it classic/timeless. Of course not EVERYONE would feel that way but when I say ''culturally,'' I mean, the massive majority thought it was genius/body/great/classic, etc, even if they didn't ''get it'' yet.

The same thing happened with MMATBS. People saying the album was hard to listen to/it wasn't a fun listen/they don't go back to it but that didn't stop them from calling it great and giving it positive reviews.

bro that sentence with the Khaled emoji got me lirl rn

Scarface s*** is a fact cuz he was on Jay's Dynasty album. Hov collabed with Juvenile.

50 Cent went on tour with Cash Money in his pre-GRODT days. Outkast worked with Raekwon. Jermaine Dupri produced for Lil Kim's hardcore album lol

I think people look at s*** like the 95 Source Awards and the East Coast / West Coast drama and think mfs was just s***ting on the south when in reality the situation was more layered than that lol

"NY just bitter they don't influence anybody and they hate everybody not from NY!"

Except...

And there are so many other examples throughout the 80s, 90s, and 00s.

And let's not even get into how Outkast were rapping like NY niggas all over Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik and how much of the production on ATLiens was influenced by NY rap groups like A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, and Digable Planets. Outkast didn't fully get into their sound til Aquemini...and even then

Hope y'all realize how f***in stupid y'all look/sound when you try to be on that weirdo region beef bullshit. East coast, West coast, North, South, been f***in with each other for decades. We on the 50 year anniversary of hip-hop for f***s sake do some f***in homework

LMFAO

I beleive the correct term is lesbian

On god, I hate when these niggas throw rocks and play dense and hide their hands when people call out their obvious bullshit lol.

Respect to Azealia but I won’t be reading her rant or this thread 🙏

Azealia thinking she’s a better rapper than Kendrick Lamar is wild

She was right until the cali jabs. Lost her whole argument at that point

This is every New Yorker for no reason

Yup. That's why a lot of ppl on here don't really want to say what they feel about Kendrick. The smallest criticism of him and you get attacked by 5-10 stans. S*** is weird

And let's not even get into how Outkast were rapping like NY niggas all over Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik

great agreeable post overall but you just wrong on that one OG

33 pages got under some stans skin

Who would win spiderman or green lantern

Cuh hasn’t made a good song since her debut and is saying CyHi > Kendrick with a straight face

Unreal levels of misplaced confidence I’m impressed
