Divide and conquer ain’t nothing new. So many folks act like you can’t jam Tupac and Big. Or Jay and Nas. Or Kweli and Freeway. Or Drake and Kendrick. Or whatever this or that/moratorium on ‘which side you’re on’ storyline gets created and carried on.

I grew up with parents who told me about how they didn’t have when they were growing up. As a reaction, I got into the habit of trying not to rob myself of shit that I wanted to enjoy in general and within reason. And it has worked out well. I was listening to a Drake playlist I made and having a blast. And then I switched over to Roc Marciano. All good times.

More directly topical, I jammed Amplified and that Slum (once I came to OKP and got told repeatedly to check it out). I wish a mfer would try to tell me that Climax wasn’t THE SHIT.
