Not a lot of rap talk on this app yet. Let’s change that.

Who dropped the best hip-hop album of the year?
Mac Miller’s ‘Balloonerism’ is a true work of art from start to finish. It’s an ethereal collection of music that proves he was lightyears ahead of his time. My only gripe is he’s not here to enjoy the reactions to his incredible experiment.

Rest in peace Mac 🙏🏽

Freestyle music making a comeback through hip-hop >>>>

Between Fat Joe’s “Paradise” and Kendrick’s “Squabble Up,” it’s been fun to watch rappers pay homage to the sounds my parents grew up on.

Keep ‘em coming

Nas reacts to Kendrick Lamar’s ‘GNX’ album:

“Always inspired by my brother KL. Keeping the essence of this shit alive and at the forefront. Salute King!”

This is why Dot shouted him out. Real recognize real 💯

KDot is undefeated right now, but never underestimate Lil Wayne. It’s gonna get real ugly the second Weezy flicks that lighter in the booth.

Honest question for #Blacksky

Does Wayne not understand how he came or is coming across with his woe is me behavior in this whole super bowl halftime show deal; or is his inner circle just gasing him ?

That bar from Kendrick was speaking more of disappointment in what happened.
Lil Wayne speaks after Kendrick Lamar addressed the Super Bowl controversy on his #GNX album.

“No one really wants destruction, not even me but I shall destroy if disturbed” 👀

What was the best part about Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw last night?

Watching him perform ‘CHROMAKOPIA’ in full for the first time was incredible but there were plenty of other wild moments
