Lmao @ him telling dude to shut up when he was bout to say something about crash talk

Seemed like he was gonna say “I hate when you say that crash talk is your worst music” or something like that

And Q tried to spin it into “it’s my least introspective” music lol
I don't think he thought the homie was gonna violate him, you can tell they've had this convo in full before. But I def think he's sensitive about everything relating to that album. I remember after the Crash Talk tour he said he was gonna drop an album within the year. He didn't drop shyt but the sentiment just seemed like he knew he had to come out with something else. Now, according to this clip, he feels entirely different.

This label clearly believes they're here to talk about more than just talking shyt. I get it, and it's led to some amazing music. But it has also helped kill multiple careers in the camp, alongside the label feeding them bad information on what the market wants or thinks. Ultimately Kendrick dropped a disappointing album but still went plat and had a massive 100mil+ grossing tour. If you can't do that (or whatever the equivalent is for your talent/popularity level), you shouldn't be waiting 5 years to drop music in rap. Period. You cannot have a label where nobody can drop every two years. That's not sustainable.

Q should have dropped this summer. Or Jay Rock. Someone. And then the other should have dropped in the fall. With Reason somewhere in between because nobody cares. Instead they dropped the Reason album (which didn't chart on the Billboard 200 btw) and nobody else. I get that SZA (and Kendrick's old albums) are keeping the lights on but this is crazy.

He made a good point. Theyre artist and they got money so why cheapen the brand. Still though Wayne took over the game and influenced a generation by going at it non stop.

But maybe everyone doesn't wanna be Wayne

Kendrick was what was left of interscope payolla

Why even sign to this label or any label for that to fact
