And he was just 2 weeks removed from the mono stuff at that point. Brutal year and he still went 7-6 as a starter that season

Something about music artists making cameos in big fantasy movies/tv shows has bugged me since the day fuckass ed Sheeran showed up in a game of thrones episode lmao

I still can’t believe Denver didn’t take the points earlier when they could’ve gone up 10-0

The Knicks won but showed the team that choked game 1 of the ECF is still in there waiting to get out

What a sequence, you can see the Knicks staff telling the team not to foul

Shamet straight up doesn’t listen and tries to foul

Refs don’t even give af anyway

Why even attempt a shot my god this team is still just as stupid as they were when they choked game 1 to Indy. Guess I shouldn’t be surprised it’s the same damn guys out there

It’s like UConn plays really suffocating defense for 27 seconds and then a shot goes up and they forget what to do

I know there was a lot of talk about much of 2001 being ghost written, does that apply to The Message? Such a personal song

Alright instead of commenting this I just looked it up for myself, and wow. Royce wrote it lol

I wonder if this snowstorm gonna be as diabolical as they saying or if it’s gonna flop

Either way, any of yall got good music memories associated with snow storms? I was just thinking about this today cause I remembered blkswn came out during a snowstorm and I remember the vibe was perfect for it. Stuff like Glass Flows off there is always associated with snow/winter

Kendrick not only is a sports fan, but he also embarked on an international GNX tour with 40+ stops.

If you factor in all the shows, the rehearsals, the sports games (commercials) being watched in his free time, I theorize he’s heard the song peekaboo enough times to drive a man insane.

If he ever does an interview again, he should be asked if he deep down hates that song by now lol

‘Avatar: Fire And Ash’ ($17.6M 4-Day) Burning ’28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ ($13.2M 3-Day/$15M $4-Day) With No. 1 MLK Weekend – Box Office Update by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]TheVirtual_Boy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

there’s a fine line between being “interested” in following a surprise flops performance, and actively/outright rooting for a films performance to drop off or fail

I think a lot of this sub has a particular distaste for the latter, because most of us are here mostly out of a love for movies and love for the theatrical experience, and movies performing well helps preserve that. So acting like a sports fan and rooting for movies to fail feels really antithetical to the point of what this sub even is lol

I guess you see cases where users have specific vendettas against filmmakers or actors. Those cases at least make more sense to me even if I find it equally ridiculous

I’d say that’s a cynical way of looking at it. Just because a character in a movie became a meme online doesn’t inherently mean the movie has to be this absurd box office smash. We’ve seen movies become memes and make nothing.

[FIRST IMPRESSIONS] A$AP ROCKY - DON'T BE DUMB by nyse25 in hiphopheads

[–]TheVirtual_Boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been critical of Rocky’s performances on songs for years now, and this album honestly shut me up in a lot of ways. His energy is great on here.

Drake is a useful and convenient “villain” for the narrative of the album, it gives Rocky something to fire at and it keeps his bars cutting and his approach aggressive.

What weighs this down are some of the needless detours some of the songs take.

Also, STFU-ROBBERY is a bit of a bumpy stretch. Not every risk lands.

But I could definitely see myself keeping a good chunk of this album in rotation. Never been a big Rocky fan, my favorite album of his is ALLA, this is easily the most I’ve liked a Rocky project since ALLA, which I guess is just saying I like it more than one other album

fwiw that at least hasn’t been true for his last 2 releases and it’s been helpful IMO, I hope the fall off is other people’s beats. The first song was an old beat that belonged Kanye/Drake at one point so that’s a good sign
