For the verse that changed my perspective on an artist: I'd say Fivio's verse on Off The Grid shocked me a lot, and I still go back to that song just for his energy on that verse. I gained a lot more respect for him as a rapper when I first heard it, but he never really dropped anything like that again imo.

Capitalism is destroying the souls of humanity. AI is capitalism in its final form. We are past the point of late stage capitalism. A fall is coming.

The Timbaland thing makes me wonder... How long you been takin from Indie producers fam? You seem really fricken comfortable.

Word is that Drake definitely stole his style from Phonte and then later eclipsed him. People started thinking Drake was Phonte's influence instead of vice versa.

It’s not the writing, it’s the GHOST WRITING!

Great episode y’all, you hit a lot of topics and I agree with most points y’all made. I’m hoping AI doesn’t take over art fully as we already see it happening. I miss great cover art. I think 21’s verse on a lot started to shift my perspective on him as an artist. I think Cole had some influence on him and I seen them chopping it up in the studio and cole was dropping gems on him. He’s only gotten bigger since and I think his maturity level in his music went up.

Thank you again for sharing your thoughts. May I ask a few questions I don't think you will respond to: how do you feel about Drake's lawsuit against UMG? Did you go to GNX concert in Toronto? Will you revisit your response to $$$4U like you alluded to when you first reviewed? Just curious...

I think Novi was repeating something he was told or overheard in adult convos. Something that baffles me is, why does Drake's writing/rapper credibility rest on 7 Timestamps when he has over 400 songs. Let's say he wrote those...that's 2% of his entire catalog. No other rapper would get this grace. He's not the only one with pop crossover.
