Verdict: saying the years in the songs, now make them sound extra ancient.....
"1989 the number, another Summer"
"Fresh for 1988, you suckas"
“It’s 1995, And now that I’m older, stress weighs on my shoulders..”
“Now it’s 95” (California Love)

Ice and Joe implying this is industry standard?
My question is when its people of THAT level? Do YOU really make counter demands?
It was just a meeting.
Joe is also a hypocrite who will say you shouldn’t do something but do the shit he told you not to do
I would’ve never take direction from freeze either
Raekwon? You the chef. I believe you.
But that verse? Was ABOUT JIM JONES
he called the person "dusty" with fake jewels jealous petty

@dik cashmere
I get his overall point but Ebro full of sh*t.
Hip hop culture has been letting suckers in since day one.
And trolling and talking out both sides of ya mouth has consequences.
But Jay Z don't help nobody
Hip-Hop Media Power Ranking (2025)
This is Complex's annual Hip-Hop Media Power Ranking for ...
@playahaitian ebro always been full of shit
He played a major part in what are radio sounds like
And I don’t believe he’s truly about the culture of anything but lining his pockets
As far as Jay he will help you but that help comes at a cost

To be fair in regular life, business and especially the entertainment industry
Isn't that kinda expected usually?
Whole lot of pajama clothes....
Do you think Kai SHOULD have known who Wale was?
Fuck no
Wale falls into the category of most of these new artists
They put out a body of work and no longer do the work
They have way more access to the world than we ever did and they’re too lazy to capitalize on it
And then wonder why a couple years later nobody remembers them
I know when he came out
I said category because he’s following the model of the newer artists who don’t put the work in to stay relevant
Wake is a very strange case in my opinion though.
He has had serious hits, crossover hits, he was with Rawse and Meek at the height of Maybach Music, his Seinfeld mixtape series was in the NY Times.
His features are consistently good. Overall he got classic mix tapes from damm near the blog era.
He was in the Cole Drake Kendtick Currency Wiz conversation.
He SHOULD be a bigger star but for some reason... he is not?
I dont know if he is necessarily LAZY he just seems to just make music when he wants and isn't consistent when he DOES have an actual project out

Respectfully I disagree
I'm not MAD Kai doesn't know who Wale is but as a major media personality in this so called hip hop culture these folks claim to want to keep saving?
Yes he SHOULD know who Wale is.
A question for the philosophers.
How life truly hardest on thy pimp or thy ho?
It's actually a trick question. The answer is the John. One night with a ho and he caught the clap, got caught by his wife, and lost half his shit, including his house, car, & kids.
Eve should be one the best female rapper list AND best rapper period list.
If we gotta make a list.
Okay, I get your point.
Maybe I'm too old or been DJing too long, but it seems being relevant in hip hop means releasing the same bland shit folks been on for the last 30 years.
Last week's record pool selections came with at least four tracks made from slow e-minor piano beats like they were digging through DJ Paul's trash can.
At least two tracks where the hook was nothing more than a three syllable word broke down to two (i.e. Everything to errthang) repeated with some ad-libs.
At least a half dozen rappers well past their prime doing guest spots with "artists" who never had one (Wale, I'm looking at you).
I grew up on 90's boom bap, but the '90s are over! So why doesn't new music reflect that?
Yeah, some of it still good, but it's not memorable enough to mention.
Like I'm an old ass quadroon from the burbs. New hip hop is supposed to piss me off. Sound so different that I can't relate. I shouldn't even recognize it as music.
So is that the point? Is conformity the new rebellion? Are throwbacks the new original? Is safe and boring the new aggression?

Trust me I get it
I’m running a label play now and the songs being submitted I don’t want anyone else to hear
It’s not easy trying to maneuver in these times when everyone thinks they know everything
