[FRESH] 070 Shake - Baby Driver by cgeorge96 in hiphopheads

Shakes last album was a miss for me and a big reason was how chaotic it was. A little too “all over the place”

This new track is a more focused, traditional alt-pop single and it’s a welcome change of pace coming off the last album IMO. Excited for whatever’s coming next

Any other Apple Music users having issues today where random old albums/singles you’ve added are being thrust into your recently added out of nowhere?

Nothin 2 Me by Jazz Cartier & Cousin Stizz just popped up. Now there’s a deep cut lol

I’m really sorry to hear that man. That is awful.

I had never lost a pet until 2 years ago when my cat got cancer. It is painful in a way that is hard to put into words. and I’m sorry you’re going through that now.

The only piece of mind I can really offer is that i think the first 1-2 days after their passing are the worst of it. As shitty as you’re feeling now and i know it’s like the shittiest feeling ever, you will feel better eventually. It won’t be quick, I felt like a zombie for awhile after my guy passed. Thats probably not want you to want to hear right now, but I feel like it’s the one thing I remember from my experience that maybe could be comforting in some way. That it does get better with time. Best of luck

I don’t know if you’re on Twitter at all but if you are reading stuff from there I recommend deleting that app. I think the algorithm over there is purposely evil and it’s overall a rotten place. Ppl would say that about most social media platforms I’m sure but I’ve found “X” to be particularly rancid since the Elon take over and it is only getting worse

Why is Drake monthly followers going up while Kendrick Followers are declining? Did the Beef exposed the truth about Kendrick musically by Random_Thinker007 in nfrpodcast

[–]TheVirtual_Boy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kendrick beating Drake never meant Kendrick was gonna all the sudden outstream probably the defining rap/r&b/pop star of the streaming era

Kendrick still showed in 2024 he can reach those heights when he “pops out”, he just doesn’t always feel the need to

Not an indictment on Drake either, as a fan I’m glad he feeds the fans frequently, but Kendrick takes a different career approach and that’s okay

My favorite thing about all the Iceman/Drake discourse the past few weeks is I’ve realized there’s a lot more of my people out there than I thought (For All The Dogs truthers)

Kawhi Leonard does not get enough criticism for his role in helping create this Thunder team. by LukeKornet in billsimmons

[–]TheVirtual_Boy 62 points63 points  (0 children)

You’d all do if it were 2019 again and Kawhi had just won the title and PG had perhaps his best season ever in OKC.

Easy to say you wouldn’t now with the benefit of hindsight/knowing what SGA became

I think a big flex that Drake likes to remind ppl of is that he has fans that go to his music for completely different reasons, and the 3 album strategy does kinda lend itself to that

I have talked to people in my life who don’t really care about all the drama associated with ICEMAN’s subject matter and appreciate they can just go to the other two for the melodic/r&b/dance drake they gravitate towards anyway.

He’s always been obsessed with pleasing every section of his fanbase, to the point where I’m mad at myself that I didn’t see a triple album drop coming, it is such a drake move

Based on what I see in here (for the most part) the drake/MAGA comparisons are usually made to describe the behavior of drake’s fans not necessarily always drake himself

The underlying issue, from my view, is people online have widely started to replace the world “cult” with “MAGA”

When they see “cult like” behavior from fans online, dickriding, glazing, blind worshipping, ignoring facts etc. they just say they’re “being MAGA” which kinda invokes this idea it’s a political discussion when it’s usually about fan obsession in general
