I love it, man. I **** hate Drake.

I never really had a problem with him just thought he was a fool. What’s your take on the black face? It’s disturbing for sure...never seen anything like that. His explanation didn’t make much sense.

I've given my extensive take on blackface on this forum before: it isn't funny the majority of the time.

This isn't one of the times it is.

I hate Drake because of his music. It **** sucks so much and he's this successful? It makes no sense. Outside of that the dude is also clearly an egotistical piece of **** as a celeb.

I'm so happy he's getting clowned in the media. You don't **** with a dude like Pusha and make it out with your rep intact. Clipse are some real ass dudes.

Pusha tweeted last night that Drake apparently is offering up $100K to anyone who has dirt on him. Wow, I guess Aubrey has nothing to rap about.

Dude this is **** dope.

I may go to Camp Bisco this year for the sole purpose of getting laid. You like the Disco Biscuits at all? Idk if I can do two festivals though, I usually do Afropunk as well.

If you want to check out more dopapod you can listen to their last 2 studio albums here

There is also a ton of their live sets in high quality audio on youtube.

I **** LOVE THE DISCO BISCUITS! Probably my favorite band. This will be my fourth year going to camp bisco haha. Already bought my ticket. Let me know if you end up going. You will def be able to get laid but there will also be a lot of good music too. Here's the song that got my into the biscuits. Great music to trip to

Nice. Gonna check it out. I need something to rinse away this awful feeling from my ears known as the new Kanye album. How's the production? I haven't checked out 9th Wonder in awhile, since I felt like his stuff got a little stale years ago. He still using old soul samples?

And Black Thought is probably one of my favorite emcees. Just the sound of his voice and the confidence it projects....just awesome. It's not a surprise that no one has ever messed with him. He would embarrass people.

Kanye is just too full of himself, such a shame.

LP is short, but very good. Production is top notch, great beats, and Thought shines. BT is one of the best emcees walking the earth, period

Kanye hasn't made a good album since College Dropout (an all time classic imo). He hasn't made a good song since Flashing Lights.

Dope producer, but the dude can't rap. Hard to make "classic" music when you can't rap. 808s and MBDTF are probably the most overrated albums of our time. Trash. No one will be blasting "Love Lockdown" twenty years from now, but I guarantee "All Falls Down" still gets radio time.

[sam_I_am]

Finally watching The Wire. What the hell was I waiting for? Definitely can see why many think it is in discussion for best show ever.

Awesome show. An ex of mine from Baltimore was taught by Bubbles and was childhood friends with Kima's real life daughter (made a certain sex scene in season one quite awkward for us lol).

Taking personal bias out of the equation, its probably the best television show ever.

I'm a Kanye stan and I'm offended.

At least amend your statement to say he hasn't made a good album since Late Registration (my favourite).

I agree with everything you just said (although I thought "Flashing Lights" sucked). I even feel like people just pimp MBDTF because it was made by Kanye. If it were made by anyone else, people would either say the album was mediocre or trash.

The College Dropout was definitely pretty dope, though. "Get 'Em High" was my favorite track off of it.

Late Registration wasn't bad, as it had a couple of decent songs, but it just wasn't a good project as a whole, in my opinion.

To me, Diamonds is his Kanye's trademark banger, and Poke Her Face / Punch Drunk Love might be the last real bangers he ever rapped on (although, other people's tracks).

He is an underrated producer, Lupe Fiasco's The Cool and Jhene Aiko's Mirrors stick out to me.

[tlee324]

I love Black Thought and the Roots definitely going to check that out.

By the way I just saved $60 per month switching from Progressive to USAA for car insurance today. I was so happy I just wanted to share it lol

It was, but I think GoT passed it with this last season.

Certainly one of the most realistic shows I've ever seen. There was talk of bringing back one more season, I'd love that.

That's a tough one. I love GoT but The Wire is sick when you consider it feels like non fiction. Fantasy seems so much easier to pull off. THe wire feels like you're watching the greatest documentary of all time.

Fifteen years old, still a great tune

[London2Boston]

Yeah. The Wire is still unmatched as the GOAT. I’m a huge fan of GoT though.

On the Kanye note. College Droppit,Graduation,Late Registration and MBDTF are all good albums. His albums since have been sub par though.

[ConstableGeneva]

Netflix film Revenge is pretty good. Be warned, it's a bit gruesome and bloody.

On my docket once current seasons are completed: Westworld, Handmaid's Tale, Arrested Development. Then I think Luke Cage is coming out this month.
