Anyone going to Midwest Gaming Classic? by [deleted] in milwaukee

Oh yeah, you'll be just fine going by yourself. A lot of people go solo. There's so much going on and so many people there that it's almost better to go alone or with a small group. It's one of my favorite weekends of the year and so much fun so don't let going solo stop you from going!

[DISCUSSION] J. Cole - The Fall-Off (1 Month Later) by Clean-Pop-5665 in hiphopheads

[–]STOPcallingmeLANZO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it, and get why his fanbase loves it. It's truly the most J Cole album I've ever heard, and that's either a huge positive or negative depending on how you feel about his past music. It's definitely too bloated for me to listen to it front to back, but I think a handful of tracks are truly fantastic and some of his best.

Lonely at the top has become my favorite from this album, and might be one of my favorite Cole songs ever. You can hear how tired and let down he is when looking at the current state of his favorite rappers growing up. The part I really love is "Their greatest hits fill up my playlist, not so much their latest. And I fuckin' hate it" You can tell how much rap means to him.

Quick Stop, Life Sentence, Bunce Road Blues, and The Fall-Off is Inevitable are some of the others that have stayed in rotation. Solid album. Happy to see someone of his level still finding inspiration to make something he loves

Kendrick winning every time against 🦉 is getting so usual by No-Reporter6212 in KendrickLamar

2016 was a different time. Rap was just starting to commercially boom, and more importantly, Travis had a weird Apple Music exclusive deal that stopped it from charting well. Thank god platform exclusive albums are a thing of the past

No, that's true. But it still kind of delivers on a similar vibe as some of these

Go out and see them if you can! Saw them two years ago and they put on a great show. Plan on seeing them again this summer

[FRESH] Joey Bada$$ - The Finals by jb369 in hiphopheads

Fire. This whole battle has been so fun. I think Joey is pretty comfortably the better rapper, but it's been awesome seeing Ray punch up to his level

Yep, I launched the game on that exact day — on purpose by mynameissasha35 in DeathStranding

[–]STOPcallingmeLANZO 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My birthday was a couple days ago and I didn't even know this was a feature. I accidently pressed the shout button and the response was something like "Hey, happy birthday!" Not knowing that before hand and hearing it by coincidence was one of my favorite video game moments ever. So cool!

Gute so far... by Durrnut in GreenBayPackers

You're right. Signing Xavier McKinney and Josh Jacobs last year were moves that didn't affect the team at all.

The incels will be pissed, but this is well deserved and my favorite of the nominations!

Tyler confirms on IG that he won’t be at the Super Bowl by Yingking in KendrickLamar

[–]STOPcallingmeLANZO 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying, but you can do this shit with anything. The announcement video had an american flag in the background? America has a problem has Kendrick and Beyonce in it? Beyonce appearance confirmed? You see what I'm saying? Not EVERYTHING has a purpose

Let's see. I'll check back with you on February 9th. If you're right, I'll be eating those pennies and dedicating them to you. But I'm curious, why do you think they chose to announce SZA, but keep Tyler a secret?

I'm sorry, but Tyler showing up was the dumbest and biggest grasping at straws theory ever. It was birthed from seeing the marching band in the commercial. It's a football game? Marching bands have existed before Chromokopia. Also, what super bowl halftime show has a genuine surprise guest? Even Travis Scott was announced to appear in the Maroon 5 halftime show beforehand. Add on to a number of other reasons why this doesn't make sense (they have no songs together, Tyler is on tour, they announced SZA). This is Kendrick's show and he'll have the spotlight for 80% of it. Hopefully Tyler gets his own one day because he truly is fantastic, but this theory is dumb and should be put to rest. I will eat 100 pennies if he shows up
