3 classic albums. No skips. Love songs. Liberation songs. Sensual songs. Fun songs. Black ass music. 51 is too young. D'Angelo can't be gone.

What Black americans have done to the English language is absolutely beautiful. And before any English majors come over here, wagging their fingers ready to say “ Well actually” FUCK YOU. The way Black americans have re-purposed English is nothing short of Shakespearean.

Def Jam wanted Clipse to remove Kendrick Lamar’s feature from ‘Let God Sort Em Out.’ And when Pusha refused, Clipse and Def Jam then parted ways.

Drake's UMG lawsuit is basically telling the industry to pick a side. WOW
