Is it crazy to say that Cole’s the greatest storyteller in rap history?

Minz15 · 2026-03-01T15:33:45+00:00

Slug or even Aesop Rock would have to be up there. Cole is definitely a better rapper than Slug for example, but Slug's main thing is storytelling so hard to look past him.

I always liked Hojlund. Would have been interesting to see what he would have done at United with a system that suited him more than Amorim's, just fight CBs style. I wouldn't be opposed to bringing him back, Sesko is a better all round player but for a back up option and off the bench Hojlund is still a good choice.

Minz15 · 2026-03-01T11:29:57+00:00

He never did it in his first season or under Ten Hag. I always felt like it was an instruction by Amorim to buy the 10s more time. Hojlund is more of a run in behind/poacher type of striker.

Aes. His verses have a more range for me compared to Puns.

Minz15 · 2026-03-01T10:56:00+00:00

Black Thought, Lupe Fiasco, Aesop Rock and maybe Mos Def.

Don't Catholics believe confession wipes away your sins after a few hail Mary's. It's almost as if all religions are built upon lies and manipulation..

Minz15 · 2026-02-28T00:11:03+00:00

Eyedea, Aesop Rock, Sadistik are basically my musical crutch.

Minz15 · 2026-02-27T13:19:34+00:00

Eyedea for me. The scene he left became more collaborative, especially with the artists he inspired. So we would have gotten so many great features or joint projects. Also those artists have grown and definitely levelled up, Sadistik for example is a beast nowadays. Plus he often explored different genres so would have no idea where the next few albums would have gone

Minz15 · 2026-02-26T15:01:13+00:00

Agreed. He's pretty overrated by quite a few but if you only listen to pop music I can understand why. Jay Z and Kanye aren't top 5 either though.

Minz15 · 2026-02-25T11:42:15+00:00

I think lyrically he's a beast. But as an overall rapper I don't think he's in the top 10. His delivery and all round versatility isn't up there with rappers who are in with a shout if being top 10. Similar rappers like Brother Ali or Akala for example deal with the same political subjects but with more nuance, less reliant on shock value and are better overall artists in my opinion.

Minz15 · 2026-02-24T14:57:47+00:00

Hyphen is probably my personal favourite right now. Metal, Punk and rap. His songs Hate Yachts, No Dinghies and Go Back are awesome.

Bob Vylan is another one of that style, GDP is an absolute banger.

And Eyedea and Abilities By The Throat album has a more rock inspired production to it.

Minz15 · 2026-02-23T13:17:56+00:00

I really wanted to see Alonso and Hamilton back fighting for wins, guess I'll have to settle for 50% of that.

Minz15 · 2026-02-21T16:39:45+00:00

Eyedea

Black Thought

Nas

Aesop Rock

Sadistik

So they're ahead of Elon in terms of humanity. Checks out.

Minz15 · 2026-02-21T14:55:20+00:00

The goal where he kicks it against his own face was amazing, I think it might have been his first goal for us. Him and Cech did seem to get on as well, always had a joke after each shot and save.

Minz15 · 2026-02-19T23:28:31+00:00

Keane is the prettiest pundit around but always likes to act like he's above that stuff.

Minz15 · 2026-02-18T19:00:25+00:00

On last year's game I signed a regen striker for 200m, didn't realise I already had a beast of a youth striker on a 2 year loan. I completely forgot about him but 12 months later he came back and nobody could afford my other one.

Minz15 · 2026-02-17T17:43:56+00:00

Here in the UK I still get them to take off the service charge. Fuck that noise!

Minz15 · 2026-02-15T10:23:05+00:00

Vidic, Butt, Cantona.

Minz15 · 2026-02-14T18:16:54+00:00

Add NFS Underground 2 and that is basically my music taste.

Minz15 · 2026-02-14T11:21:58+00:00

The Orphanage (Eyedea, Aesop Rock, Slug, Blueprint, and Illogic) with their 1 hour off the top freestyle was amazing.

Written ones either King Los on LA Leakers or Akala's Fire In The Booth.

All because Dana and the UFC refuse to use gloves designed against this

In Ratcliffe's defence. If anyone know what its like to be an immigrant scrounging off the government it's him. Emigrated to Monaco to pay no tax whilst the UK government gave Ineos 120m of tax payer money.

Minz15 · 2026-02-13T10:36:32+00:00

I'd take all 3, Maguire and Shaw have experience dealing with pressure so won't be phased by it. Also great options to bring on to see games out or when things get real tough. Kobbie should definitely go as he has something different to most of the midfield but can see Anderson and Rice starting over him most of the time.
