I asked Icon Tha God why the media won't give more Baltimore artists a shake.
"We're tired of the killings, we complain about the killings, and then we support the people that talk about the killings."

Nick Wright is a casual Talking Head when it comes to basketball, so his points appeal to the casual viewer. He got in deep waters with an actual journalist who has been outside for a very long time in Dan Patrick, who completely ragdolls him in this exchange when discussing Bron vs Bird, peak for peak, adding a level of context, rhetoric, and knowledge that Wright isn’t used to dealing with. At the end of the day, Career vs Career, Bron’s longevity places him higher on the “All-Time” rankings, but peak vs peak, there’s a very real argument for Bird being the better player:

Icon Tha God told me most of his music is a personal escape. Then he talked about the verse that wasn't.
"People can tell when you're bullshitting."

We asked Icon Tha God if the drug element of his verse was about him or the city. His answer:
"If somebody hears the verse and it helps them... then beautiful."

"It was what I wanted to do, and I was able to do it."
@johnwells_ on Episode 2 of The It Was Written Podcast. What makes a great writer?
t-sml.mtrbio.com/public/smar…
Wild origin story: @johnwells_ learned to write by copying King Los's raps down word for word and telling people they were his. Who was the first rapper you studied like that?

One of the hardest bars I've heard: "When you see me on the cover of Apple Music and Spotify, just know my daddy died because he didn't have insurance." @johnwells_ on Episode 2 of The It Was Written Podcast.

Replaying Ocarina of Time (N64 version on Switch) in honor of the upcoming release, and just got through the infamous Water Temple. I have to say: it isn’t THAT bad. It’s tedious at points and there are a couple frustrating moments, but the dungeon design itself is smart and intuitive once you get in a rhythm. It was almost peaceful after a while and is probably my favorite dungeon thus far on the replay.

MC Bravado retweeted
Jordan scored 1,576 more playoff points than Pippen across those six Finals runs.
That’s not some marginal difference.
That’s an entirely different offensive burden.
And we’re really pretending 189 extra rebounds, 20 assists and 26 steals somehow cancel that out?
Jordan was the scoring champion all six title seasons, the primary offensive engine, the closer, and won all SIX Finals MVPs.
Basketball isn’t a spreadsheet where every category carries equal weight.
Two things are true at the same time:
1. Pippen was phenomenal.
2. Jordan was the reason the dynasty had a ceiling nobody else reached.
