I can’t really do a proper musing today as my fingers are too cold, the train is packed and I have man flu.
It is only because I am a badman that I’m even alive. 🤧
And talking about alive, if there are any Canadians on the lawn, can one of you check on Drake.
I like rap battles. I remember Nas winning the battle but Jay winning the war. I remember feeling the pain when Tupac obliterated Biggie with “Hit Em Up” I remember feeling slightly uncomfortable when Ice Cube reminded the other members of NWA who the writer and lyrical master was.
But no battle in the history of battles compares to what Kendrick has done and is doing to Drake. Super Bowl was a creative cremation. He beat him the way some men were beating (with computer love) during Covid.
Using much maligned diversity and inclusion, he offered a devastating appraisal of where he thought America was heading. And Trump was there too. This guy is a 5 star general. Whether you liked it or not, he has got people talking.
What do you think?
The revolution may have been televised but as a humanitarian, I just need to know that Drake is ok.
