This article is about a month old, but it changes my perspective a bit about Epic not bailing out Shmurda. I wouldn't bail dude out afterwards either.

Another surprising revelation is the lengths Epic Records apparently went to try and get Shmurda away from street life. They rented an apartment in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for him and tried to force him to work from Los Angeles. Nonetheless, the rapper always seemed to end up back in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn where he grew up. "I think a lot of those kids were forced to be gangbangers. 'Forced' as in: You're a Crip, or you're against us," said Christopher Wilson, part of Shmurda's management team.

Epic eventually sent a Wilson affiliate named Ball Reckless to try and "extract" Shmurda from New York in September 2014. He says he was stunned when he tracked him down at a hotel in Times Square. "It was like he was kidnapped by Crips. Blue shit everywhere. And everybody was looking at me like: Who the fuck is you?" Ball said. "Don't get me wrong: It looked like that to me. I mean, that was his squad. But it was a whole bunch of new dudes. People I'd never seen." He also recalled that Shmurda was extremely sick and "coughing up green shit."

Ball failed to get Shmurda to leave with him, and the rapper ended up getting arrested a few months later."

Shouldn't be long now until Schoolboy Q's album can be heard. Hopefully it has a decent amount of songs like Groovy Tony and not like That Part. But i'm sure it will be a mix of both.

Yeah I don't know who else was on that curry track but he did great.

Crazy that it seems like this Q album won't even leak. Probably no 1st week physical copies. Feeling skeptical because of the last let down. But I've enjoyed every snippet and every song released thus far

Denzel Curry - ULTRA (fire).

Album. Two singles. Groovy Tony was fantastic, and That Part was solid/catchy. Snippets sound real promising.

I still like the Curry flow but he does owe a lot to the producers he normally works with. Some generic cypher beat isn't gonna elevate him at all.

Lil Wayne's book about his time in jail is finally coming out.

Reese ft. Young Buck - Cowboys N Indians (Prod. by Supamario).

Slim Thug ft. XO - IDKY.

Termanology ft. Saigon - We're Both Wrong (Prod. by Q-Tip).

That's 3 songs on cops murdering black people.

Clams Casino ft. Samuel T. Herring - Ghost in a Kiss video.

Jamila Woods ft. Chance The Rapper - LSD (Prod. by ODDCOUPLE). This is nice.

All the XXL Cyphers:
Denzel Curry, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty, 21 Savage, Kodak Black. Damn Uzi Vert is terrible.
Desiigner, Anderson .Paak & Lil Dicky. lmao @ .Paak getting Desiigner ad-libs.
Dave East & G Herbo.

Even Drama knows this is the weakest class ever. Those 21 Savage and Kodak Black freestyles are 50 Tyson tier stuff.

Huh I listened to That Part and never thought it was an album track. I was meh on it tbh.

I'll still be there to shell out for a Q album
