Nas' new album is great. Best rap album I've heard in awhile. Eminem and Lauryn Hill are on it, too.

I'm on my second listen now. It's really good. Death Row East is actually my favorite track. Love the story telling in that song

Last TDE album. Who knows beyond that.

Not many artists retire at such a young age and actually remain retired.

Listened through Donda a couple times now, really liking it. Best album Kanye has made since MBDTF, for me.

Anyone following the Astroworld situation?

I've read about it, really sad, can't even imagine being a part of something like that.

I have been, wonder who is to blame? Promoters? I hear Travis Scott does try and get the crowd riled up. Maybe he could of done more too.

Ever hear people say, 'Safety regulations are written in blood'?

These kind of crushes have been problematic for festivals and concerts for a long time. It's on the venue to have safeguards in place to prevent people from getting hurt because it can lead to tragedies such as these.

It appears Scott and the promoters were either oblivious(highly doubtful) or negligent. My bet is they didn't want to stop the show or give refunds in the moment so they went on with it, ignored EMS, and the people in the crush at the front.

The lawsuits should reveal culpability here. Just feel shitty about the 10 year old and the other people who just wanted to enjoy a show.

The new Jedi Mind album “The Funeral and the Raven” is actually pretty dope. I think age has done wonders to Paz, he no longer feels the need to scream on every track and has some rather deep topics going on now. Beats are good. Stoupe isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel or anything. Always quality.

Agree but give Ironman another listen and you'll see it's not as clear cut
