How Drake Can Win the Rap Battle With Pusha T (or at Least Not Lose It)
On Facebook Wednesday, I got into a discussion about whether or not I thought Drake could come back (and maybe even win) from Pusha T’s blistering “The Story of Adidon” diss record, which took disrespect and hip-hop investigative journalism to new levels. I said that I thought he could, he’d just have to be creative.…

Well, Damn! Pusha T Responds to Drake With ‘The Story of Adidon.’ Here Are 10 Quick Thoughts
It took a few days, but Push back. Over Jay-Z’s “The Story of O.J.” instrumental, Pusha T responded to Drake’s “Duppy Freestyle” (itself a response to Pusha T’s “Infrared”) with a savage diss record called “The Story of Adidon.” Bruh, King Push was on his Roy Jones Jr. “Y’all must have forgot!” steez. Let the…

10 Thoughts About Drake, His Petty and His ‘Duppy Freestyle’ Directed at Pusha T
1. Drake might be THE most bored superrich entertainer of all time. Like, he must literally sit around WAITING for motivation to do something … anything. Only a bored rich person gets that amped up, that quickly, in that fashion. Drake was probably playing himself in chess when he heard “Infrared” and was like, “About…

Drank Options to Bring to a Memorial Day Cookout for the Person Who Never Knows What to Bring
One truism in life: Never trust a person who has no idea what liquor to bring to a cookout. There are exceptions to this rule, of course. If you are not a drinker, then you are excused. Just bring several bags of ice; there is always a need for ice. If you are a person…

Looks Like I’ll Be Sitting Out the NFL Again Next Season (and the Season After That, Etc.)
It was much easier to boycott the NFL last season than I anticipated. For one, I underestimated how much I’d enjoy having my Sundays back. Also, my NFL fandom belongs to a team with a racist name that also happens to suck more often than not, so boycotting because the NFL blackballed Colin Kaepernick was…

I Went Down a Hip-Hop Rabbit Hole and Ended Up at the Fu-Schnickens Like It Was 1992 All Over Again
As it did for so many folks I know, hip-hop changed my life. I don’t mean in the “It saved my life” way, but when I was introduced to hip-hop, I fell hook, line and sinker into the ocean and never came up for air. I was living in Germany in the late ’80s and…
