Going back and revisiting Mal's takes on Kendrick is one of my favorite things to do 😂

Yikes, "What Did I Miss" is freefalling. From #2 to #8 and potentionally only being ahead of "Luther" which is on week 34 by 1 spot is pitiful.

Damn, "What Did I Miss" couldn't even last in the top 15 for more than 3 weeks? Drake really has shot 1 for 60 since Kendrick walked him down.

"Hey, you like that new Tyler, The Creator album? No, no, no, we're not here to ruin it. We don't care that he was at the Pop Out by Kendrick. Ha ha ha, can we come in?"

Some of us have seen every crashout, every self sabotage,& many bridges burned. Reading the NYT article as a music fan to now a pod fan was jarring. Joe Budden really pulled it off. Broke the generational curse and is now securing generational wealth. Guess we got 'the growth' 🫡

No lie Big 🐰 shot 14 for 14 on "Alfredo 2". Benny & Jim got bars sent to them on "Empanadas". Oh, Akademiks & Gunna got bars on "Lavish Habits". The entire production on the album is very laid back and calming. Hip Hop Gods spoiled us with the Clipse and now this.

Freddie Gibbs when its time to diss DJ Akademiks and his titties

When I hit play on "Which One" by Drake & Central Cee this is all I could hear in my head. He's 0 for 2.

I dare yall call Drake innovative for watching a young lady dance in an empty pool while Central Cee is dressed like a character out of Peaky Blinders.

Michael Jordan was born to play basketball. Freddie Gibbs was born to rap over Madlib & Alchemist production. God knew exactly what he was doing.

Fine, I was wrong about "Which One" by Drake & Central Cee. Maybe it was the sound quality of the live stream that made me not like it at first. Been listening to it this morning and I'll walk back my words. "Which One" is easily the worse song of 2025.

Far as putting together albums goes, no one does it better than Kendrick, Pusha, and Freddie Gibbs. Their discographies are proof of it. The consistency over all these years is commendable.

"Which One" barely cracking the Top 10 and "What Did I Miss" is out of the Top 20 already? Roc Nation must have got The Monstars from Space Jam to steal Drake's soul because this isn't normal for him.

Streaming has ruined the experience of new music. It's cheapened artistry and overall quality of albums. This is why I appreciate the Clipse album roll out so much. It felt like the old days of artists hitting every market during the press run before the album dropped in stores.

Whomever has been adding the crying AI face to Mal's takes please don't stop 😂

May 2021.

Hands down Drake's best outro 👌

I believe Drake is hurt that Hip Hop fans leaned favoritely towards Kendrick winning the battle. Now he's made it his mission to ruin Hip Hop with his lawsuit. Ironically, this just reaffirms the sentiment on "Not Like Us". Drake is a walking example of 'wounded animal syndrome'.

1 month later, how many tracks from "Let God Sort Em Out" do you still have in rotation? Be honest.
