MC Bravado retweeted
My goat Noa Essengue is the Bulls':
1) Second best perimeter defender
2) Best offensive rebounder (in the rotation)
3) One of their best free throw drawers
Just a silly combo for a fun player. Every minute he's on the floor is must-see.
Icon Tha God told me the platforms that claim to know Baltimore's scene don't dig deep enough.
"The underground supersedes the mainstream of Baltimore."

I asked Icon Tha God why the media won't give more Baltimore artists a shake.
"We're tired of the killings, we complain about the killings, and then we support the people that talk about the killings."

Nick Wright is a casual Talking Head when it comes to basketball, so his points appeal to the casual viewer. He got in deep waters with an actual journalist who has been outside for a very long time in Dan Patrick, who completely ragdolls him in this exchange when discussing Bron vs Bird, peak for peak, adding a level of context, rhetoric, and knowledge that Wright isn’t used to dealing with. At the end of the day, Career vs Career, Bron’s longevity places him higher on the “All-Time” rankings, but peak vs peak, there’s a very real argument for Bird being the better player:

Icon Tha God told me most of his music is a personal escape. Then he talked about the verse that wasn't.
"People can tell when you're bullshitting."

We asked Icon Tha God if the drug element of his verse was about him or the city. His answer:
"If somebody hears the verse and it helps them... then beautiful."

Wild origin story: @johnwells_ learned to write by copying King Los's raps down word for word and telling people they were his. Who was the first rapper you studied like that?
