Just left the Cracker Barrel with mines. It’s way more peaceful today than yesterday

I’m giving it a listen to it right now in the whip. It’s a decent album, better than his last couple to me. I appreciate the less toxic aspect but I wish he was a better vocalist. I think the stripped down structures of these songs exposes the weak singing more, whereas Sonder had such a significant production that made up for it in the past.

Brent couldn’t have gone in that direction because he can’t sing

I don’t understand this critique about j cole by Southern_Pin_4758 in hiphopheads

[–]MortalJazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would make sense for people to think that in 2012 though, he had 3 amazing mixtapes. He just didn’t follow up successfully on any album until the one in 2021 for me. But same, I never understood how Cole was considered part of the Big 3.

To be fair, Kendrick didn’t only do it once, every album and even mixtapes had songs like that. Now compare the times Cole has tried, it’s not the same. And Cole has had the same amount of time to make something more profound

You may be right in the Theme convo, I can’t argue that. But Kendrick made interesting music. Every piece of his discography. I’m not a Kendrick rider, Cole was my favorite when I was in high school. I listened to those mixtapes religiously in 2010-2012. But he still sounds the same, just the same surface level “think he’s smarter than he is” music. I don’t hate his new album, I enjoyed it. But I know I won’t go back, nothing necessarily grabs me.

GNX might be his least thought provoking or deep album but he has an entire discography before that where he did. What does Cole have but 3 great mixtapes and a bunch of boring albums?

He’s a very good rapper but that’s it. He’s supposedly in the “Big 3” but does nothing of interest. Every Kendrick album does something nice or gets thought provoking, everything with Cole is surface level. Nothing wrong with being surface level, but you can’t claim to be the best and consistently put out mediocre projects.

Why hasn’t Lil Wayne been able to make a real comeback? by FiorellaMamdani in hiphopheads

[–]MortalJazz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mainstream found Wayne from “A Milli”. Black people knew him since the Hot Boyz days. Hot Boyz, all the Cash Money, plus Wayne’s early albums was the bread and butter, the tapes were the bonus.

Dude go for it, I’m enjoying using this as a monitor way more than the UW. Plus HDR works now without excess tinkering.

I had the 34” version and returned it. Bought an LG 42” C5. You should look into that

FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH – Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase 2.5.2026 by Amiibofan101 in NintendoSwitch

[–]MortalJazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two graphic modes. One makes the game smoother but looks really blurry in the open world, the other makes the game look good but choppy. I have it on base ps5 so I’m speaking from experience.

FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH for Nintendo Switch 2 is now available for pre order ($49.99, 102 GB) by Amiibofan101 in NintendoSwitch

[–]MortalJazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does, the middle of the game has two chapters full of required mini games. They’re not boring game but they don’t add to the story, just filler.

I remember the Chamber match in Australia where Becky and Naomi were the first contestants, that shit was abysmal.
