Lemminary , in [SHOTS FIRED] Man Shot Outside Drake’s Home; Drake Not Injured, Police Say

Oh, thank god. I was sooo worried about Drake when I read that another man was shot.

I really hope it's unrelated to the current back and forth

Regardless, it would be hard to convince people it wasn't.

Update: The victim was one of his security guards.

It could've just been a crazy Kendrick fan.

Also very true, I hope it wasn't. Kendrick won nonviolently he shouldn't get pulled into this bs

I think that was the best thing about the battle, that none of them are street guys, so it couldn't escalate

If anything, more likely drake trying to frame Kendrick. Kdot murdered him where he wanted, his image.

@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

I thought of that but do you know how crazy, "I'm gonna need you to let me shoot you so we can frame Kendrick" sounds?

@wetnoodle@sopuli.xyz avatar

Agreed. I don't think he asked permission/talked it through, I think he's desperate

You can't in good conscience shit on Chris Brown and not equally shit on Eminem. They both have chequered pasts

A verbal argument ensued and Chris Brown pulled the vehicle over on an unknown street, reached over Robyn F. with his right hand, opened the car door and attempted to force her out. Brown was unable to force Robyn F. out of the vehicle because she was wearing a seat belt. When he could not force her to exit, he took his right hand and shoved her head against he passenger window of the vehicle, causing an approximate one-inch raised circular contusion.

Robyn F. turned to face Brown and he punched her in the left eye with his right hand. He then drove away in the vehicle and continued to punch her in the face with his right hand while steering the vehicle with his left hand. The assault caused Robyn F.'s mouth to fill with blood and blood to splatter all over her clothing and the interior of the vehicle.

Brown looked at Robyn F. and stated, 'I'm going to beat the shit out of you when we get home! You wait and see!'

The detective said Robyn F. then used her cell phone to call her personal assistant Jennifer Rosales, who did not answer.

Robyn F. pretended to talk to her and stated, 'I'm on my way home. Make sure the police are there when I get there.'

After Robyn F. faked the call, Brown looked at her and stated, 'You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I'm really going to kill you!'

Brown resumed punching Robyn F. and she interlocked her fingers behind her head and brought her elbows forward to protect her face. She then bent over at the waist, placing her elbows and face near her lap in [an] attempt to protect her face and head from the barrage of punches being levied upon her by Brown.

Brown continued to punch Robyn F. on her left arm and hand, causing her to suffer a contusion on her left triceps (sic) that was approximately two inches in diameter and numerous contusions on her left hand.

Robyn F. then attempted to send a text message to her other personal assistant, Melissa Ford. Brown snatched the cellular telephone out of her hand and threw it out of the window onto an unknown street.

Brown continued driving and Robyn F. observed his cellular telephone sitting in his lap. She picked up the cellular telephone with her left hand and before she could make a call he placed her in a head lock with his right hand and continued to drive the vehicle with his left hand.

Brown pulled Robyn F. close to him and bit her on her left ear. She was able to feel the vehicle swerving from right to left as Brown sped away. He stopped the vehicle in front of 333 North June Street and Robyn F. turned off the car, removed the key from the ignition and sat on it.

Brown did not know what she did with the key and began punching her in the face and arms. He then placed her in a head lock positioning the front of her throat between his bicep and forearm. Brown began applying pressure to Robyn F.'s left and right carotid arteries, causing her to be unable to breathe and she began to lose consciousness.

She reached up with her left hand and began attempting to gouge his eyes in an attempt to free herself. Brown bit her left ring and middle fingers and then released her. While Brown continued to punch her, she turned around and placed her back against the passenger door. She brought her knees to her chest, placed her feet against Brown's body and began pushing him away. Brown continued to punch her on the legs and feet, causing several contusions.

Robyn F. began screaming for help and Brown exited the vehicle and walked away. A resident in the neighborhood heard Robyn F.'s plea for help and called 911, causing a police response. An investigation was conducted and Robyn F. was issued a Domestic Violence Emergency Protective Order.

Eminem's chequered past is what exactly? Writing shitty songs as a homophobic, misogynistic character?

@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Eminem did assault people and brandish a firearm during his mess of a divorce. Then Kim tried to kill herself which I’m sure all the wild shit Em said about her was a factor. Difference is in my eyes is Em has shown remorse and growth and I don’t see any of that outta CB’s scuzzy ass.

Microw ,
@Microw@lemm.ee avatar

Exactly. Maybe I am simply uninformed about Chris Brown's remorse and growth. But I don't see it either.

Squizzy , in YouTube accused of censoring Macklemore's "Hind's Hall"

It 100% is it is age gated and inaccessible. I had to filter to find a reupload in sme weird vertical format.

Bullshit.

Great track with a great message.

stembolts , in Macklemore Attacks Joe Biden On Pro-Palestine Song "Hind's Hall"

Didn't expect that. I don't typically listen to Macklemore, I admit I'm more of a Tribe, Kendrick, MF Doom, Deltron, Mac Miller kinda guy.

Is he good? Subjective question, but maybe given the above taste you can clue me in. Would love to embrace a new artist.

TropicalDingdong ,

Yeah I don't really listen to Macklemore much. More of my partners thing, and like you, I listen to Doom, Kendrick, Tyler the Creator, old-school Kanye before he lost it, Wutang Biggie, etc. He rhymes pretty well and has some pretty sick raps. Seattle home town hero.

@venusaur@lemmy.world avatar

I love that you guys had to list like 5 MC’s to explain what kinda hip hop you listen to.

stembolts ,

Is that an invalid form of communication? This seems like critique, but I don't understand the how or why. Maybe I'm misinterpreting.

venusaur ,
@venusaur@lemmy.world avatar

Totally valid. Just so specific like u gotta be certain nobody misinterprets your hip hop credibility.

stembolts ,

Haha, I see your PoV, had never considered that. I guess to me I was just like sharing ice cream flavors I like :-)

I am too old to think I'm cool, hahaha

venusaur ,
@venusaur@lemmy.world avatar

Haha for sure. Being cool is an illusion.

Microw ,

Macklemore has these conscious rap lyrics regularly on his albums somewhere between the more radio friendly songs. I mean they had "same love" back on The Heist album, "White Privilege II" on This Unruly Mess I’ve Made album and there probably are more than I can think of.

I have not followed him closely in recent years but I guess most of his music is still stylistically poppy which I personally am not a fan of.

Shadow ,
@Shadow@lemmy.ca avatar

Check out his earlier album Language of my World. It's fantastic and a lot less poppy than his modern stuff.

He is, just hit play and skim through. It’s not hard at all these days to get a taste of an artist.

pushECX , in THE HEART PART 6 - DRAKE (Kendrick Diss)

Nearly this entire thing is a miss.

  • He says the people who leaked the daughter thing are clowns, then proceeds to tell us he's so smart that he and his people leaked it. So Drake called himself a clown.
  • A good chunk of the song is based on a misunderstanding of Kendrick's Mother I Sober. Kendrick didn't say he was molested, he said that his mother asked him if he was and she didn't believe him when he told her no, because she was molested. Honestly, this makes Drake out to have no listening/reading comprehension and it makes him seem like he's scrubbing quickly through Kendrick's tracks trying to find ammo. It makes that whole chunk of the song fall flat.
  • Kendrick never said any names or anything regarding the pedophile allegations, yet here's Drake specifically bringing up Millie Bobby Brown and Bella Harris. The thing is when you put it all together there's a lot of evidence out there that's already known that lends credibility to Drake being a pedophile. Drake was texting Millie Bobby Brown when she was 14. He was hanging around Bella Harris when she was 17. He groped and kissed that one girl on stage and she was 17. You even have Tweets from Drake talking about (not an exact quote) "If amazing were underage I'd be in jail because I'm fucking amazing." What a weird thing to say. There's too much to mention here.
  • Drake says he planted the daughter stuff. Okay, let's see the receipts. He made a whole little video of him destroying the good kid, maad city van (wrong make and model, if I'm not mistaken) but there's no video of you supposedly cooking up this master plan to plant evidence? No screenshots of DMs? Nothing? Mighty convenient....
  • Let's say the daughter stuff is false. That removes
    one verse out of the four tracks that Kendrick has put out. All the rest of the tracks are still totally relevant.
  • Whitney never followed Kendrick on social media. Talking about who is or isn't following you on social media is such a high school way of thinking about relationships. It just plays into everything Kendrick has been saying about Drake not being a man, about being a 7 year old.
  • Drake still hasn't denied running a sex trafficking ring.
  • The play on music chords was dumb. Kendrick was saying something that actually hit with his. Plus a B-sharp isn't a thing.

This track is a huge miss, for me. Take the L, Drake.

venusaur ,
@venusaur@lemmy.world avatar

I’ll preface with, Drake lame. The B# thing is true. It’s just C. However, in a key signature you can see a B notated as sharp. Nobody would say B# tho. Kendrick’s Am line was genius.

FLYGOD2x , in Eminem - Houdini [Official Music Video]

I didn't care about an Em album for years now but this one got me curious. I don't like the song but I respect the art.

@willya@lemmyf.uk avatar

You should definitely check out his last two.

Crack0n7uesday , in Macklemore Attacks Joe Biden On Pro-Palestine Song "Hind's Hall"

He used to be my neighbor, I ran into him at few gas stations out in Seattle.

pushECX , in meet the grahams - YouTube

Never seen anything like this before. Kendrick was ready, knew what was coming.

The whole battle is more than just disses, it's a psychological tear down of Drake. No amount of IG posts and jokes can put Drake on an equal footing.

sabreW4K3 OP Mod ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

Kendrick is up, but he absolutely shouldn't be. Half of rapping is delivery and he's fumbled his delivery throughout most of this battle. His disses lack replay value and for that reason he should be losing, but when your momentum is there, that shit will be ignored.

But fuck, I love Hip-Hop!

RIP Eyedea.

autotldr Bot , in YouTube accused of censoring Macklemore's "Hind's Hall"

This is the best summary I could come up with:


On May 6, the rapper shared the track, which supports a free Palestine and student protests, on his social media accounts.

The song also pays tribute to 6-year-old Hind Rajab, a Palestinian child who was killed by the Israeli military days after she had called emergency services begging to be rescued.

However, the video has been age-restricted on YouTube, where it has been viewed 232,116 times, prompting social media users to accuse the company of limiting the song's reach.

"The fact that there's a YouTube violence warning before the video just proves every single damn point he's making in the song," another added.

The rapper touched on various topics in the song, including American politics and police brutality, and questioned why peaceful protests were being deemed a threat.

The problem isn't the protests, it's what they're protestin'," "Block the barricade until Palestine is free" and "When I was seven, I learned a lesson from Cube and Eazy-E. What was it again?

“F a rap battle, this a long-life battle with yourself." Sheesh. This track is tough and the beat is a perfect choice.
