I love hot 97 so I say this with respect… this format needs revamping. It’s bigger than the individual personalities, this station means a lot for the culture and deserves more consideration

[@mikee3261]

What can they possibly do! It’s a radio station and it’s 2024 you are just complaining because you have nothing else to do today.

[@SWISSMUSICFC]

Is the VERY personalities that keep it that way zero innovation and growth because they don’t like change and the lack of change is displayed by a certain individuals control over the broadcast guess who🎅🏽 become nothing more than gossip panel!

[@BornGiftedMusicGroup]

Revamped how? They’ve taken the new step of basically turning the platform into a post show podcast to dive deeper into key topics off the main radio format This was a smart move What do u want em to do

[@jafar1902]

They became either drake hater or kdot haters none of these niggas are neutral there done. Even tho joe budden is a drake hater as well he give drake props and kdot love. Rosenberg the biggest clown mad at drake cuz he didn’t do his show and been tweeting at him for years for a response

Kendrick does not want to be a pop star. Kendrick wants to save hip-hop. He said so several times.

[@rosuzzieagnes124]

If he wants to save Hip-Hop why is he not working with any other artist do you know how many dope artist Kendrick can introduce to the world like what he did with keem that’s how you save hip hip

[@PorkChunky]

He never gone save hip hop. He not consistent.... he not good enough to save hip hop....... only Kendrick stans think he that good. He not. Sorry to tell you. That's why drake got 13 #1s. An Kendrick only 3. Cant save hip hop with on 3 #1s.............. an you inconsistent............

[@OMARNOIR]

@@PorkChunkywhat do you mean? How many number 1’s does Jay Z have? (His first one was in 08 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@CompletelyBlankPage]

He definitely wants hip-hop to be a better space, but his journey from TPAB to DAMN to MMATBS details how these grandiose goals are not possible by a single person.

[@jodimarcio9794]

To save hip hop the big three would have to collaborate ( album) and have Ye Produce it

[@joke12323]

Keep this going. I like the live part of the show. I personally like the rawness of the live shows

[@turkbish10]

IDC what nobody say, I commend Drake on this because you’re a TRUE TITAN if you got so many people at your neck and dissing you. He’s obviously #1 and everyone wants to knock him off. He’s in his hate train era.

[@RomeDCarlo]

Kendrick been on this tho, can’t group him with the others

[@traceatroj240]

Or it's not just about being #1🤷‍♀️ a lot of things are popping up and if they are true I get why kendrick pops up in an album called we don't trust you

[@BornGiftedMusicGroup]

He’s been taking shots so how could this be about hate. Cut this bs victim narrative

[@dfwherbie8814]

Drake has had Quintin Miller write for him. He’s had Future write for him. He’s had dvsn write for him. He’s had Maajid Jordan write for him. He’s had The Weeknd write for him. He’s had Rick Ross write for him. He’s had Lil Yachty write for him. He’s had Lil Wayne write for him. And on and on. That’s just who we know off rip. Drake capitalizing off the labor of others and takes all the credit, fame, money, and glory from other ppl’s creativity. I don’t respect that at all

[@Whoa_dummy]

@@RomeDCarlohe took his biggest shot on an album about dissing him. Why didn’t he do a freestyle or make a song in his own doing it? The song was meant to be a club record.

[@tekluasqualu8341]

[@p.a.p.5212]

Ebro just said it, is about who's shifting the conversation. Damn!

[@Awsme_J]

Kendrick had 1 verse I love Kendrick but cmon man we gotta be fair at this point he has to release more music he can’t be the best if he hasn’t rapped really in years. Kendrick is only controversial is because he aims to do that when he drops it’s easy to come out and just diss someone

[@RelatableTVwithDee]

Drake has obviously done some grimy things to people and thrown subs for years. This is way deeper than wanting more features or being jealous. Drake is not an underdog. We will see how the battle unfolds.

[@everestarmstrong7053]

Nobody would react to what Kendrick said if he wasn’t saying it about the head guy in the game, Drake.

[@elostatik4176]

Of course people would react , its Kendrick . Wth are you even talkin about ?

Rosenberg talking down on Cole with “Let Nas Down” when the first time a lot of people heard that record even existed was from Rosenberg hearing it early and running up to this show and talking about incredible it was before the album came out.

[@justs7532]

A lot of great points! I don't know how some of these artists would have survived the mixtape era

[@Shajj2126]

This can be good for Hip-Hop overall. Bringing authenticity back and crafting your own lyrics from your soul. Hip-Hop media too in making the game about art and consistency not just numbers or else anyone can do it and that's the point being displayed overall here.

[@ptctivo]

Rosenberg!! Great point about them wanting the things that they both have and not achieving it but teaming up and possibly being able to get it

[@marvelfrank5444]

J.Cole shoulda aplogized thru Instagram , not on stage, he coulda been like Soulja boy and said something like “ u my dawg Kendrick I didn’t know yall were going at Drake. I’ll let you both go at it” and deleted the song and everyone woulda been like oh yeah he deleted it because it’s not his feud. Now he look different in peoples eyes

Kendrick didn’t even say anything, the only reason the verse hit hard is because the controversy surrounding it , while Drake and Cole saying big three and Kendrick came up and said it’s just big me and having future on the record which make it more controversial cause people don’t expect future and Drake to be in a beef or whatever

Let's be honest with ourselves. Drake is drake not because of his talent, he is the cheat code. He's a light skin dude with charisma and a enjoyable voice. He can make a kids abc album and it will sell. The ultimate fuckboy the fans love, but now rappers are getting tired of. Which i don't blame. He moves doing everything we shouldn't applaud but he gets a pass for EVERYTHING. so kudos to him. But it's time kendrick finishes this.
