tread lightly when you speak on niggas who are betting on themselves, especially if you are not a person who is betting on yourself. y’all are not cut from the same cloth to begin with.

The Fall-Off back cover plus some insight. 2/6/26

I’ve watched the Bay give birth to waves the industry made billions off of… while telling the artists they were “too regional.” Same story, different decade. I hope LaRussell blows the doors off the hinges.

Once I found out he let white boys call him shaboozey cuz they couldn’t pronounce his name and he not only let his slide, he kept the name, I knew.

Dom Kennedy old music was really so fly that it instilled confidence too. Him, Wiz, and Curren$y gone be timeless

I like Saba’s verse on Sacrifices

Shout out to Bas for writing on Tems part on Bunce road with Cole and Tems. That pen filthy

An ode to mixtape Cole “Yo, I seen Brina on the ’Gram, she don’t post like that But bo, she’s still bad, one of the baddest bitches the ’Ville had”

- 39 Intro and Ocean Way are absolutely beautiful choices to start and end the final part of the album.. the growth 😭😭

For a real rap nerd and true student of this genre, all of the super subtle ways Cole paid homage to hiphop and past greats, whether it’s through flow choice, cadence, sample choice, concepts, beat choice is something I hope really doesn’t go unnoticed…

-Nah yo..Ocean Way really got me crying..

-Love is a caaaandle wick in raaaaainnnnnn !!!!

So many records to listen to So many books to read Such a beautiful life ahead of us to live

Cole & Ib said fuck the internet, we in these streets

we lost one of the pillars of our era. a legend in her own right. there’s a hole in NYC right now and seems like we ALL feel it right now. rest well, Ms. Curry. we’ll miss you and love you forever.
