I work in a care home and a resident nearing her hundredth birthday said ‘It sounds silly but I just really need my mother’ and it shattered me because there’s never an age when we don’t need our mums by our sides

A modern day Dracula where the plot is my boy Vlad realising that remortgaging his entire castle in Transylvania buys him a one bedroom flat in London with a sink for a toilet and he has to chose between having electricity for the month or buying a muffin from Prêt a Manger

I explained the Drake / Kendrick beef to my middle aged Turkish mother today. No man left behind.

Kendrick actually saw a person die outside his Compton apartment when he was just five years old where in his mind, he realized that this type of violence is what he's going to have to get used to while growing up. He has experienced homelessness. He lived on welfare and foodstamps. Saw his friends die, even held one of his dying friends in his arms gently like he was holding a baby. Battled with avoiding the gang lifestyle that kept tempting him. Made a song titled Chapter Six with the lyric "Pray that we make it to 21" because of all the death he's experienced.

To see Drake think it's fun and cute and easy money, pretending to be from the hood/about that life/be someone he's not and never do a damn thing for the Black American community he bites from, THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY KENDRICK HATES THAT MAN!

Can you believe there's a tiny Dracula statue reading Bram Stoker's Dracula before the Vajdahunyad castle in Budapest

Now that Drake’s been obliterated, I’m starting a petition for it to be P. Diddy next.

Not to get overly sentimental but rap beef is honestly such a creative form of expression. Like we’re going to hold off on kicking the shit out of each other and calling up shooters to make clever rhymes about each other and get the common man saying words like ‘double entendre.’

Here’s a couple of suggestions of other diss tracks to listen to if you’ve found you’ve liked bitchy poetry:

Ether - Nas (2001) - diss track vs Jay Z & widely considered to be one of the best diss tracks ever released. It’s a response to Jay Z’s diss ‘Takeover’ which at the time of its release left people thinking Nas’ career was over and then Nas uno reversed that shit with Ether and it’s still considered to be a miracle that Jay Z managed to maintain his fame.

Hit ‘em up - 2Pac (1996) -diss track vs Biggie & Bad Boy records. Part of the East Coast / West Coast beef. 2Pac was shot 5 times and survived and Biggie released a song called ‘Who Shot Ya.’ Hit em up is Pac’s response and it’s iconic. Plus the tune is groovy as shit.

Real Muthaphuckkin’ G’s - Eazy E (1993) - Dr Dre left his group NWA over a dispute about contracts/pay. He later released a song called ‘Fuck with Dre Day’ where he had a go at Eazy E (the lead rapper of NWA). Eazy released this in response and it’s another groovy, west coast banger.

Story of Adidon- Pusha T (2018) - Pusha T walked so Kendrick Lamar could run. Need I say more.

No Vaseline - Ice Cube (1991) - vs remaining members of NWA. Cube was the first to leave NWA over contracts/pay disputes. The remaining members released an album, with subtle disses against him. Ice Cube, as Ice Cube does, got pissed.

Life’s on the Line - 50 Cent (2003) - adding this because 50 Cent hates as easily as he breathes and it’s something to marvel at. His beef with Ja Rule started in ‘99 when Ja Rule was robbed by 50’s people and then one thing lead to another and 50 was stabbed and then he was shot 9 times. ‘Time is the best medicine-‘ no. no it’s not. If anything 50 gets angrier through the years. 19 years later 50 bought 200 tickets to Ja Rule’s concert so the front rows were completely empty.

It’s been a good day for the girls and the gays who had a life consuming hip hop phase at some point in their lives and now that hip hop phase has followed us along the treacherous path to tumblr.com

obama saw it coming…

If anything Drake has just proved Kendrick right on his claim that everyone on Drakes team is secretly praying on his downfall because anyone who okayed ‘you’re upset that i’m a pedo cuz you were molested as a child HA HA ZING’ wants nothing for that man but suffering and bad karma

Here’s a collection of some of my favourite tweets regarding the civil war.

[crocsandbitches]

I truly believe Kendrick’s end game is to drop so many diss tracks that Drakes ghostwriters end up unionising and striking for better working conditions.

the modern day equivalent of Dracula is a series of BeReals that are getting progressively more and more alarming
