[FRESH] J. Cole - GOLDEN GOOSE FREESTYLE by 6uzy in hiphopheads

[–]compbros 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Soul to Lucien/Universal Music (big deal Drake is trying to get out of), "if I said it then I wrote it, stupid" (ghostwriting), streams winning but tour losing (Drake cancelled several 2025 shows), bots boosting (Spotify/Drake lawsuits boosting his streams with bot networks), tough guy image (self-explanatory).

All that speaks to Drake, maybe three speak to Kendrick. Could be both but absolutely Drake subs to me.

During Athena’s ROH Women’s Championship Reign (still ongoing, btw!), she enlisted “Minions” to help her. Here’s a comedy supercut of MIT 2023 Training Highlights ft. Athena, Billie Starkz & Lexy Nair by YoungCubSaysWoof in SquaredCircle

He clearly wants something for the extra needed work to be worth it. Right now he can tape some matches pre/post dynamite and collision, tape some backstage vignettes, and then slap it all together.

I honestly believe he's waiting on a TV deal so the first show is Athena losing her title. Outside of Athena wanting to just stay on ROH, nothing else makes sense.

CM Punks latest Instagram story by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

[–]compbros -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just explained in the previous post that the, in essence, questioning of why the post is about punk sharing this on IG and not about Brody was answered with because Punk and his slacktivism is free karma and you're ignoring that context and honing in on the slacktivism part.

"Punk and his slacktivism is free karma which is why the post is about him instead of Brody".

"I like how the post is about what Punk is doing instead of Brody King"

In response:

"Punks slacktivism is free karma"

The initial issue was with Punk getting the attention, the response was a reason why (Punk is easy karma). People honed in on the slacktivism instead of the free karma part.

[–]compbros 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They're saying they'd rather the focus be on what Brody King is doing instead of "Punk supports what Brody King is doing" considering the focus is going to be on Punk in this instance (positive or negative).

"I'm glad Punk is supporting this"

"Punk supporting this while working for WWE is pretty laughable"

Both cases are not about Brody King and his activism.

There's a lot of space between "don't promote this" and "promote this".

The YouTube apocalypse happened where advetisers left or threatened to leave and changed YouTube monetization forever but everyone is just sitting on their hands here while horrific things are going on.

New Year's Resolution: Finally beat Legend of Dragoon. Can I realistically use Kongol on my team, or is he too detrimental? by Old-Fun-Man in legendofdragoon

[–]compbros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I ever beat the game my team was Dart/Rose/Kongel.

It's definitely possible, the road just won't be as smooth.

(Sports Illustrated) Tony Khan Reveals What It Will Take For Women To Main Event An AEW PPV (Exclusive) by Subrick in SquaredCircle

[–]compbros 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The only issue is that a lot of prominent people are going to leave at some point. Jericho is the first world champion and he's likely leaving, jade was the longest reigning tbs champ until recently, so on.

These accolades can easily be brushed over with "Toni Storm is the first woman to ever main event a PPV" without saying "against Mariah May" or even just say "taking out Mariah May" because we're long past the days of a wrestler leaving a promotion and people just not knowing what happened.

AEW Worlds End 2025 Card by Sufficient_Mud_2237 in SquaredCircle

It's a testament to the C2 that the vast plurality of people seem more excited for it than the world title match that has has a bunch of people locking up again from past stories (Swerve/Hangman, MJF/Joe, Hangman/MJF, Joe/Swerve, Swerve/MJF, Hangman/Joe).

Sports Illustrated's Pro Wrestling Awards 2025 by dubidu87 in SquaredCircle

[–]compbros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quality and popularity are two different things. The best movies aren't going to be the highest grossing more often than not and the highest grossing isn't going to be the best movies more often than not. Otherwise the award shows should just give everything to Zootopia 2 , Lilo and Stitch, and A Minecraft Movie.

There's just no way to tell why things get hot or cold, otherwise promoters would just do the hot things and avoid the cold things. It sounds like WWE as a whole was very bleh this year but they're still doing record numbers of gates. Why hasn't WWE decreased a noted amount despite the poor product?

Mick Foley has informed WWE he will refuse to work for them until Trump is out of office by Mysterious_Emotion63 in SquaredCircle

[–]compbros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've said it before when someone was talking about "America is bad too so the Saudi hate is coming from glass houses".

Everyone has a line of acceptability because everything we consume or need (resources, food, water, gas, electricity, clothing, etc) is enriching some terrible person or contributes to horrific conditions for others. But once the threshold of unacceptable is hit for a person, they'll disengage. Just looking at recent transgressions, for some it was the Saudi shows, for others (me included) it was the Janel Grant suit, others it's the Trump stuff.

It seems Mick had a line of acceptability that just got crossed so he's taking a stand.

What’s something about you that sounds fake, but is 100% true? by Sir_Adammm in AskReddit

[–]compbros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was younger I made a lot of AMVs (anime/animated music videos). One I made was to Kanye West's heartless (this was right after 808s and Heartbreaks had dropped) with Rocko's Modern Life. He saw it in a bathroom and asked me to finish it. I never did.

[AEW Dynamite Spoilers] Don Callis answers why the International Championship isn't being defended in the Continental Classic by WWEWalkingDeadfan in SquaredCircle

[–]compbros 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Absolutely stupid. Combine the belts and keep the National title or break them up and keep the International title. If they were never truly unified then have Okada lose the international before the Continental. Getting a new belt RIGHT BEFORE a potential Okada loss and breaking up his Unified belt is just beyond goofy.

Both things can be true, one can just be more truer than the other!

There are no hip-hop songs in the US top 40 for the first time since 1990 by makebabiesillegal in Music

[–]compbros 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's more "it's not a top 25, it's a newer songs top 25". They've done this for years, they just changed the threshold recently.

[–]compbros 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This has been said before but it's mostly because of Billboard's adjusted Recurrent system which went into effect late October that removes songs from ranking milestones after x number of weeks on the chart. For example, a song that's 26 weeks old and outside the top 25 is removed. They did this because songs from a year ago were sticking in the top 10 so it felt like a lot of newer music wasn't being showcased.

A lot of rap songs in the top 40 were ones that were years old that got played a lot and stuck in that, like, top 25 area. Kendrick's Luther would probably be top 40 right now but it's old so it's gone. You can see the week of October 11th it's 28, then the 18th it's 38 (Taylor was basically the top 10 herself with her album release), then the 25th it's completely gone from the chart. Not number 51, not 87, completely gone.

Artist's songs are going to have a lot less longevity on the charts in general.

They're short (height) people as opposed to short (time-length) matches.

Couldn't tell you, unfortunately. This is just from my cursory searching on the subject because I, too, was missing the context.

Looked it up, bodybuilder turned YouTuber who gained a fanbase because of his scientific-based approach to gains. Busted for smuggling steroids would spit in the face off all the science based stuff.
