Resilience

Doubts and defeats on thousands of streets.

Dreams feed mountains of screeds.

The seal is written, all doubts are forgiven.

The great reveal is the person you become.

Lightyears

a poem for the hopeless romantics:

A match is just a myth, an old-wives tale dressed up in the modern vernacular. Romance is even more obscure and opaque, a conundrum defying all powers of reason. Others seem to crack this code, decipher this mystery but not me. For me, love flees up trees, over seas, and beyond where the ability to perceive concedes defeat. Desire and reciprocation might as well be cast off to distant galaxies. Is there not one, even one soul that can look at me, and say, ah, I see?

GNX and Drakeo The Ruler Influence

I'm not from CA and I'm not familiar with Drakeo the Ruler's music, influence, or movement. I heard about his death in 2021 and how he was killed by YG affiliates. Anytime I go on X, it seems that I keep seeing this narrative about Kendrick biting Drakeo on GNX or not properly giving him credit. For those who listen to Drakeo or are from LA, do you think that Kendrick bit Drakeo? Also, is it true that Dot never gave him credit? If true, what are the politics that would have prevented him from properly crediting Drakeo?

For the record, I'm also a huge fan of Lupe. Lupe was my favorite rapper before I discovered Kendrick's music. I am not talking about beef or battling. I think Kendrick respects Lupe and holds him in such regard that he would never diss him. However, I wonder if Kendrick would ever give him a bar or a few lines. As much as I respect and admire Lupe, he has been dry-hating and making back-handed compliments for a while and Kendrick hasn't said a word. Perhaps, silence cuts deeper than saying anything. Unless, Kendrick could have included him (with Lil Wayne) in wacced out murals, "Quite frankly, plenty artists, but they outdated Old-ass flows, tryna convince me that you they favorite"
