2022 NBA Offseason Thread: Preseason kicks off; Things are fine in Los Angeles, Draymond beats the charges

[D StaXX]

Drug dealing flexing and murder... Like he used to. I legit don't care about the "he's matured and his Raps are a reflection of life" argument. This is music it's part fantasy narrative. Pusha T still rapping about coke and probably can't remember the last time he saw a brick.

If he was flexing in a cool way I wouldn't care...but he's not. But I'm not the target audience for Hov anymore I guess and that's OK.

This is why we have Stove God, Benny, & Conway.

Jay a 50 year old billionaire with kids.
He not rapping about the block no more.
I do miss misogynistic Hov though. He couldn't be ****** with.

It all started downhill for Hov when Bey wrote his verse for Drunk in Love

Yeah, it would sound crazy to hear this man saying he moving work and all of this other nonsense. As D StaXX mentioned, there's another set of cats doing that. Throw 48 Spesh, and Roc Marc into that mix.

 

[Mark Antony]

That's YALL fault though. Jay Z could have 80 billion dollars and I couldn't care less if he spit a gun bar.

How many people would that NOT be corny to though? Billionaire rapping about spinning the block in a rolls.

Actually, you know what...

Hundreds of millions and billions is different but the OG Nas is still rapping well without hitting you with art and bank statements

 

[antidope]

That Hov verse gonna drop tomorrow and he's gonna be talking down to people guaranteed. I'm just not trying to hear it. He is a conduit to snobbery now.

I hear yall I'm just telling you that EYE am not a fan of the new Hov stuff and why. Not asking him to change cause he won't and it doesn't affect me cause I will just not listen.

 

[Coupé It]

Everybody look at you strange because you changed….

Like you work that hard to be the same?

 

[RustyShackleford]

antidope woke up this morning, went outside to grill up some breakfast on his Foreman Grill, and decided that y'all dudes have gotten too comfortable this off season

Mans finna whip y'all back into shape

 

[ballinsam23]

antidope who do you like listening to these days?

 

[DLF]

KD got put in his place but but but he might walk for nothing

KD couldn’t walk away for nothing. He’s signed for 4 years.

I mean he can still mope and play half assed. Then his value will drop further. Coach gets fired. Team is in play in again with. 200 million dollar tax bill.

Gotta remember antidope looks at hip hop like it's the zoo.

 

[getback]

I will never give Nas a chance. That time has passed.

Why?

Don't do this. You're better than this.

Why?

I think Nas sucks. I always have. I'm too old to be doubling back on stuff. Music is 100% subjective and in the age of the internet I am the curator of my own Playlist.

Oh I thought you meant you'd never give him a chance as in you've never really dabbled.

Spirited discourse in here today indeed.

I have no thoughts to share beyond that.
