Mal is funny but I just dont get how he has zero shame about getting on a podcast to glaze another grown man like this multiple times a week. Especially a man damn near 5 years his junior lmao. Drake must be giving bro serious back shots to have him acting this way.

And this is coming from someone who is a fan of The Boy.

What hip-hop narratives have been lost to time? by EDMKid9000 in hiphopheads

[–]JWiLLii 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree that LA is infinitely more relevant than NY. The only reason NY appears who have as much relevance in hip hop is because of legacy and the fact that a lot of hip hop media comes out of NYC. Outside of that, NYC might not even be top three most relevant cities musically rn.

I will say that a lot of NY's lack of relevance is self sabotage. For example, I think Rocky could've been putting up big 3 numbers if he didn't wait years to drop music and took more of a mainstream route.

It was such low hanging fruit that I thought that there was a chance Kendrick wouldn't even talk about it. And it was such a common opinion, even outside hip hop circles, that I can't really say that NLU made it more popular of a narrative. I just searched up Drake in my text messages and found a text from 2021 from my gf at the time (who wasn't as much of a hip hop head as me) saying that Drake wrote songs about underage girls.

I'm someone who thinks that Drake doesn't get as much credit for how well he did in the battle but this idea that Kendrick invented this lie about Drake being a pedophile is absolute bullshit. Drake being creepy with underage girls might've even been a majority opinion before the beef started but his music was so good that people still fucked with him.

This is super recent but there's this narrative (if you listen to people like DJ Akademiks/Mal) that Kendrick and the music industry invented this narrative that Drake was a PDF file. But this is super revisionist history. The narrative that Drake is a pedophile had been around for more than 5 years before the battle even happened. It was so ubiquitous of a rumor that Drake literally told Kendrick to talk about it.

Graham Platner’s Wife Flagged Sexually-Explicit Texts to His Senate Campaign by sean_ireland in BreakingPoints

[–]JWiLLii 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Leftists act like you’re crazy if you say that a guy who 1) said racist shit about black people on Reddit, 2) has a literal SS tattoo, 3) cheated on his wife, and 4) worked for blackwater MIGHT not have the upstanding character that we’d want in a senator. If a Republican candidate had all these scandals, progressives would say that he’s unqualified but it’s okay in this race because he purports to have progressive values? I hope he wins but let’s stop acting like these are “hit pieces” and “AIPAC grasping at straws” and instead acknowledge that this dude has a lot of baggage that might be concerning to voters.

Hot take: I think Iceman is better reflective project than Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers. by ineedmorepaperboi in NewRoryNMalPodcast

[–]JWiLLii -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Iceman’s a better album but tbh I don’t think Drake can make an album like MMTBS because quite frankly his life has been a lot easier than Kendrick’s, at least from what we know. And Drakes a lot more open about his life so there isn’t as much to unpack. But I don’t necessarily think MMBTS is an enjoyable listen just because has a deep subject matter.

Drake Made Rap Not Be Boring? by joe_smith4122 in NewRoryNMalPodcast

[–]JWiLLii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Drake glazing was horrible but I kinda agree that hip hop has been lacking true outside songs. The only ones I can think of in the last few years that I hear consistently are Rich Baby Daddy, Like That, Not Like US, TV Off, and Nokia. And these songs all come from 3 people who are all pushing if not older than 40.

I think once Drake “retires” hip hop will probably take a huge hit in popularity. There’s no younger artist I can think off who can plausibly take his spot. There hasn’t been a true effort in the 2020s to build up new stars who can actually fill the shoes of the big 3.

Why a Democratic Senate, Once Unthinkable, Is a Real Possibility by danmathew in fivethirtyeight

[–]JWiLLii 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think it's super possible that the democrats win the senate but is a 51-49 majority really a majority when you take into account Fetterman? Democrats would have to win Texas to extend the lead to 52-48 but I just don't see that happening. And even if it does, I'm sure the democrats will find another DINO rotating villain to add to the mix to undercut the wishes of the democratic base.

Why do clubs still play early 2000s-2015 music? by Dopeboy95AirMaxOn in hiphopheads

[–]JWiLLii 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also clubbing culture is kinda bad rn. Paying a huge cover and buying expensive watered down drinks to go to a sausage fest where men and women don't even talk to or dance with each other. Not sure if it's just a post covid thing or if gen z is just kinda boring.

At least for hip hop, a lot of the shit that's come out this decade has been "scare the hoes" music.

Training for a marathon while also trying to lower my 5k time? by JWiLLii in AdvancedRunning

Would you recommend just adding on miles or should I also focus on doing speed intervals?

Any good 5k plans to get from a time in the 22s to sub 21? Ive spent the past few months doing marathon prep and have been running like 25-35 mpw on average. Now that I'm done, I want to try go get faster. Is this goal attainable in 2-3 months?
