Skill and Coast to Coast Talent
I remember when music was more recognized for its talent before it became a business. Music was a piece of art, and there was no right or wrong way to look or sound.

I remember I read a review by Gemini years ago, and he explained whatever and whoever was making the most noise, the industry followed, regardless if it was garbage or not, it had

TWITTER LOOP: DRAKE GOES OFF ON ‘ROLLING STONE’ FOR MISQUOTING HIM & CHANGING THEIR COVER + RS RESPONDS
Looks like Drake is pissed off that the iconic magazine Rolling Stone decided to cut him from the cover and feature the late actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman. In a series of tweets (two of them have since been deleted), the 27 year-old rapper also claimed that the Kanye West & Jay-Z “diss” was not spoken during the exclusive sit down. DRAKE TWEETED THIS AND THEN DELETED IT RIGHT AFTER: I never commented on Yeezus for my interview portion of Rolling Stone. They also took my cover from me last minute and ran the issue. I’m disgusted with that. RIP to Phillip Seymour Hoffman. All respect due. But the press is evil. I'm done doing interviews for magazines. I just want …
