For example, during the 2024 Beef, after J Cole apologized to Kendrick on stage for releasing 7 Minute Drill, several "insider" sources spread around a story that Schoolboy Q advised J Cole to step down from the beef because Kendrick and Drake weren't going to keep this a friendly fade. Basically telling him "This ain't what you think this is man." It wasn't until recently that the entire theory got debunked by J Cole himself in an interview with Carmelo Anthony...which really anybody with common sense already knew at that point. Niggas really believed Q pulled Cole to the side, put his hand on his shoulder and was like "Hey man...you might want to back away while you still got the chance. You won't like Dot when he's angry." like its an Anime.

Edit: I didn't know this post was gonna open up the 100th stan discourse of the week I was just using the most recent example that came to mind damn.

Two MCs make a record together. Time passes. They end up so far apart, in sound, personal life, whatever, that the collab starts feeling like it happened in a different universe.

What are your picks?

This was pretty much everything I wanted from a Bladee album. It felt like a mix between his two popular styles. It's interesting that it dropped in the same day as Experimental Rap, as these two albums take two very distinct approach to experimentation in hip-hop. Overall I think it's fantastic, with some songs being absolute highlights in Bladee's catalogue.
