HOV AND MICHAEL JACKSON ON SCORPION

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

Oh, shyt. LOLOL. I was born in 1980. No wonder I sound like I'm talking crazy to you. I could've had a child your age if I had gotten a chick pregnant when I was 20.

Yeah, the commercialization was in over-drive by 2000.

I'm more of a 'purist'. Bars and beats, and you have to write your shyt. I'll excuse hooks, but your verses have to have been penned by you.

I used to be one of those “I only listen to 90s rap” nikkas too tbh, we all went through that phase lmao it’s crazy how rap works. I like bars too, good hooks that’s why it’s Drake and his pandering ass lyrics

Don’t all rappers pander?

I stopped following rap yeeeeears ago, I'd hear a song here and there, but I wasn't checking for any new artists. To show you how serious it is, I had checked out before 50 Cent's 'Get Rich...' and to this day, have never sat and listened to that album. I have never heard a Lil' Wayne album. I remember dude with the Hot Boyz, and next thing I know, he's a huge solo star.

Maybe not following rap closely is why I literally can't understand how straight black men LIKE Drake. Not like a song. You can like a song from anybody; but to straight up be fans of some Charmin soft, light-skinned nikka, with the voice of a 14 year-old??

It's like falling into a coma when beepers were poppin', and coming out of it in 2018.

This is exactly where I am. I too am just confused at how strait black men can be a fan of this guy...... but I didnt fall off hiphop till around 2010. Sounds like you fell off in 2002 though.

shyt, before 2002. By 2002, I probably had stopped listening to the 90s shyt I was into.

Damn

It is what it is.

10 years from now, the whole genre will be completely unrecognizable.

Jay's therapist told him to use this collaboration as an opportunity for healing and growth......

When he goes in for session next week, the therapist will ask him how doing something nice for someone else felt, and Hov will just lie on the couch like
