    whatever happened to iceman? are we still in the midst of the rollout for that or has it been scrapped?

    There was a complex interview released yesterday discussing the thinking and logistics behind the series. Final episode was also teased.

    We're in the Dot Era so I don't know why y'all keep bringing up Drake. Drake isn't hip-hop or have y'all forgotten?

    The only reason we’re talking about Drake right now is because Drake stans keep saying hip-hop has been dead this year without him

    real hip hop being back has nothing to do charts

    Genre is flopping when the quality of music drops, not by how many white girls are bumping your music.

    Genre’s so dead they’re changing the meaning of flop to cope. Amazing

    Why do drake stans keep shifting between narratives of rap being dead because he's not active and him having a great year because of $$$4u

    You being slow is your own problem. One artist having his biggest streaming year ever while everyone else flops is not a good thing

    The pop rap going down because Drizzy flopping ( 2 dozen songs no motion is wild) and post Malone switched up his genre.

    These aren't even close to being all the notable mainstream albums we've gotten this year. These are just some of them. Saying "barely any mainstream rappers have even dropped albums this year" is being delusional.

    Drake was likely betting on a positive outcome from the lawsuit to be factored into the rollout.

    But losing the case threw things off and didn't result in the comeback story he was expecting.

    So, now he's regrouping and trying to test the waters to see how he can spin Iceman into a comeback album post beef.
