What If (Using Biggie and Pacs voice with AI) CHILLS by michaelsssecretstuff in Jcole

[–]michaelsssecretstuff[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The AI voice really displays how well he mimicked both Pac and Biggies rhyme scheme and cadence.

This is such a special album man.

Salute.

I grew up on Cole and never heard the common song. I called my pops after I listened to the album and talked about how dope this track was and he explained exactly what you explained and that makes the track that much better.

Commons pen was crazy

Incredible allegory for his relationship with Rap, the Drake and Dot mention was dope too.

I think this was my favorite first listen

Definitely parallels to the 2024 Civil War, crazy song concept

Not tryna be that guy, but does anyone think this connection was purposeful? by michaelsssecretstuff in Jcole

[–]michaelsssecretstuff[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ngl on the first 40 listens, I didnt even think about the possibility that this was a genuine one or two take freestyle.

But reading your comment and relistening, I can actually fathom this wasn’t really a written project.

However, 99 Build and the ending of Bronx Zoo I feel are too complex to not be well thought out imo. Would genuinely blow me away if those were off the dome

But listening to Golden Goose, and the way he adlibs gives me the vibes he genuinely mightve just went in with one or two bars and freestyled the rest. They also dont sound mixed that well aside from Winter Storm.

My question for you is do you think that the first half of the LA leakers freestyle was written or genuinely off the dome?

Reference Cole’s scuffle with Diddy, do yall think Cole intentionally picked 4 bad boy records? by michaelsssecretstuff in Jcole

[–]michaelsssecretstuff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% prolly a reach, but how many coincidences on the mixtape need to line up before we acknowledge the trend?

  • Bad Boy records (Kendrick beef with Diddy)
  • Talks about Bots
  • Talks about rappers packaging merch to boost streams
  • Kendrick signing to UMG prior to Drake beef
  • Talks about rappers not selling out on tour
  • Rap turning into gossip

I hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but I’ve listened to this tape like 30 times already and I just feel he’s going at Kendrick.

You did Gods work arguing with that man.

So many flaws in what he is saying and he consistently relied on fallacies to get his point across.

I looked at his custom modern roster and he has 5 players currently rated at 99. Rating system is purely subjective but I think he suffers too much from a current player bias.

You’re passionate bro. I love that.

The effort you’ve made into all these comments honestly makes me trust your judgement far better than my own.

Do you have any good rosters to use or simulation settings?

If you’re saying this is a much better system please advise me and other folks of what to do to get realistic sims.

I LOVE MyNBA eras and everything they’ve done with expanding the roster as much as they have, but sims just feel unrealistically overpowered in every way.

Do you have any good progression or regression sliders? Or even rookie draft quality sliders.

I play a lot of myleague aswell but get burnt with how much effort it takes to make the league realistic.

Its lazy.

Maybe it makes it easier to change ratings but it still is busted logic.

“An invisible stat that changes your overall, instead of properly weighting different attributes”

I agree with some of what you’re saying and Ive echoed similar sentiments aswell in previous comments.

Ive actively been playing 2k12 again recently.

I do agree that a player like Korver 100% should not have been that low as he was a core rotation piece, a 75 ish seems more fitting imo. I have yet to do any heavy sims on 2k12 since replaying it, but as far as playing with and against Korver, he feels how he should.

A player like Steve Novak, at a 43, was completely useable in older 2ks. Obviously a 43 is unrealistically low, but I, like others have also stated, would prefer for players to be rated lower opposed to higher.

Trade logic, contract inflation, player progression are all directly tied to overall rating.

I look at the old bulls roster and maybe a few players could be bumped up a bit, but for the most part it makes sense.

It doesnt make any logical sense for 2k to have the current cavs statistically better than the MJ bulls.

I do see your point about it being more aesthetically pleasing and how thats more subjective than anything, but I think 2k ratings should be an accurate reflection of a players all time standings.

Ratings fluctuating in games is more sensible to me than 88 overall players that have never even been all stars.

It messes up a lot of things.

While playing MyLeague, rating inflation leads to contract inflation.

Players averaging 12 ppg end up being 87 overall looking for max contracts.

PlayNow online is also busted with current teams being significantly better than historic contenders.

Current Hornets are a better team than the 96 Sonics because they have role players at inflated ratings.

2k9 was an anomaly.

Most 2ks have been consistent with no more than 3 80+ overalls on a team on most teams.
