“You raised a horrible f***in’ person
The nerve of you, Dennis”
And the Harvey Weinstein line

this is always cringy to say but they're my "black" friends, it was pretty important to them it seemed, and i'm not gonna judge. got a little tiring after a while but we also went back and forth a bunch about top 5 rappers' oat

yeah we were mostly white and asian last night although my female bestie I often mention is half black. we spent about an hour on it but that was mostly just watching the lyrics videos. until some receipts come out about whether kendrick is an abuser or drake is a pedo, nobody wants to take too hard of a stance rap finally turns into something you can discuss like y'all do with sports during these times is I do quite enjoy it.

one of my older buddies is a pretty og hip hop head that thinks rap peaked with Tribe and De Las Soul etc (which is fine) but we had to cook his ass for a solid half hour for declaring that Pusha T has terrible cadence and beat selection

rap beef/diss tracks peaked with this and nothing comes close imo

idk the end result of this makes it a less enjoyable listen

also the older you get the more you can see through Tupac's gangster facade to the theatre kid he was at heart 25 years olds looking pretty young to me lately ngl lol

wdym the end result? as in both of them dying? they didn't kill each other tbf (most likely). but I see what you're saying. let's be honest if neither of them died they would probably be friends today. most of these beefs are ephemeral BS but fun in the moment.

the features are less than great but in terms of pure ruthless energy 2pacs verses still hit harder than any other diss I've listened to. ether is more cruel/cynical/cutthroat but this is just a goat song imo.

fyi your rym is a dead link

Oh thanks does it work now?

Go back to your actual perception of the song of the birds or the sound of the traffic. See what is going on. All these perceptions are free-floating in space. Ask yourself, “Where do they appear?” If the answer is that the bird is singing 50 feet from here, see that this is not actually your experience, that it is a concept. The actual experience of the sound is happening at a zero distance from you, not 50 feet away. It is not happening there but rather here, always. Everything is always happening here and now.

email from my mom today fuk i'm still drunk from last night

yes sir. you're from Tokyo? What do you think of Japan's music scene? or are you more into rap?

@leals_core_rise

Yeah I know Tupac and Biggie didn't kill each other but just how Tupac starting out as such a righteous, educated Panther son to end up in that death spiral is not great vibes. Biggie was kinda grim from the jump.

Something bout this ain’t a rap battle but a battle with yourself

yeah definitely not great vibes. but that beef was a significant moment in history. in retrospect it can seem kind of grim i suppose.

Ohhhh no I live in Germany I just put that in my bio for no reason

I fw Fishmans, some City Pop like Tatsuro Yamashita, Lamp & a few Anime Soundtracks ofc.

You can put me on tho

lmao

yeah used to love fishmans/listened to them all the time. classic band RIP. and sparkle is a f***ing jam hell yea . too bad his songs aren't on streaming

i mean this is my japanese playlist, gotta some jams on there imo

definitely top tier but you could make the case for Real Muthaphuckkin G’s being the best. E went at Dre and Snoop too hard man

But Cube demolished all of NWA especially Eazy “it’s a case of divide and conquer because you let a Jew break up my crew”

yeah RIP E this s*** is a classic as well. cubes vaseline diss is wild also. Maybe it's the nostalgia factor that' puts hit em up at the top for me

O-V-HOE

O-V-HOE

whoever directed this joint was on one, still one of the dopest videos like

No Vaseline was classic too but idk man when Cube dropped that NWA was already done. Dre was feeling himself with F*** with Dre Day but Eazy fired back at his ass haha

I love Hit ‘Em Up though s***s so disrespectful as it should be
