I can understand if your at work, class, driving, or with friends. But if your not picking up your phone cuz you " don't feel like it". Well then your just being mean.
It's just that I don't have my phone with me at all times. I'll forget it at home, in the car, etc. And sometimes, I'll leave without my phone on purpose. It's an amazing feeling and really liberating knowing people can't get in contact with you.

Obviously not working with other people and people not depending on me helps. When I'm waiting for a call or a message, sure I'm a little more vigilant and will turn on the ringer.

Holy shit.

We're renovating a house, currently doing the plumbing, and the mid 40s Hawaiian plumber just pulled a Biggie reference.

Nearly lost it.

^ Hahahahahaha. This was one of your better pause worthy posts.

"That's why I don't want to take more jobs. Like my man, Biggie, once said, 'Mo money, and mo problems.'"

It's a common reference but still respected the dude.

Starting tomorrow and then throughout the week, BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe will air his new interview with Jay-Z. According to NME, Jay revealed to Lowe that he had already started working on the Magna Carta Holy Grail tracks "Holy Grail" (featuring Justin Timberlake) and "Oceans" (featuring Frank Ocean) around the time he was working on Watch the Throne with Kanye West.

Jay said he and Kanye agreed that after they did the album together, they'd start working on their new solo albums. Jay made those two tracks and played them for Kanye, which instigated a four-day argument about if they should've been on WTT or held for MCHG:

"[There were] no lyrics on 'Holy Grail' and I recorded 'Oceans' and I played those records for Kanye. And he was like, 'No those have to go on Watch the Throne,' so we spent four days arguing about those records and I was explaining to him why it wasn't right for this project and I had a whole idea for making this album called Magna Carta... Holy Grail [part of] the name came after."

Jay also explained that the arguing was civil. "Four days literally arguing... not like fighting. Well, there was some pushing at one point but not between us, just everyone else got a little excited."

The best part of EVO?

One of the biggest "losers" (in terms of losing money on bets lost) on SaltyBet during the tournament was "jcole." Lmao he was on the Top 5 list of losers the entire weekend. Let Nas Down jokes were made in the thread :lol

I wish I had a screencap, but I'm not willing to hunt in the 12+ hour archives to find it. But really EVO was fucking incredible. It always is every year, and it just gets better and better.

Smash was the most hyped. Kof next. You heard it here first.

This x9000. I never played games competitively, but yo. I would've been heated if my opponent was guarding the ledge tighter than a nuns vagina. Prolly would've stole his ass. Lol.

This.

I had the 'pleasure' of finally listening to it yesterday and man oh man what hot poo poo. The beats are fire though.

Jay has been coasting since he came back out of 'retirement'.

I started listening to Gemstones recently on recommendation from an associate. Actually hearing him improve over the course of his projects has been pretty startling. Usually rappers start off wack and stay wack, or they start off dope and eventually become wack after complacency settles in. But he actually starts off wack and graduates to legitimately dope. There's a really drastic jump in quality in his last two projects, both in technical ability and choice of subject matter. He's a terrible singer though.

Danny Brown on Old

"It's pretty much all done," the Detroit native says from his house on a rare day off from performing. "I just have anxiety -- I'm just nervous about it."

But what will it sound like? "I can't really say what it focuses on, because I don't really know what it focuses on," Brown says earnestly. "I didn't focus on anything -- I just let it write itself. The more I listen to it, it's just like, 'Damn!' It's almost like I didn't really do this shit. It came from a higher power, and as I'm listening to it now, I'm starting to hear things that I didn't even know."

Is it good, at least? "I'm starting to like it more and more, like a normal listener," he offers. "The first time I listened to it I had a lot of complaints, but I knew that it was the project that I wanted to release, just feeling-wise, not listening-wise. Just doing things with my heart instead of than my brain and my ears."
