Carly Simon Quote

What’s Up With Me?

Honestly, I’ve just been preoccupied with the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef recently. It’s been crazy y’all. For those of you that aren’t fans of rap music or haven’t been keeping up with what’s been going on recently, this may you may not be familiar with all this but for those of you that are, let me know your thoughts in the comments below. Whose team are you on if you’ve picked any sides. I don’t think I have to be honest, I’m just listening to the songs and thinking J Cole made the right choice when he apologised and squashed it lol.

I feel like there hasn’t been like a really good beef in a while but all of a sudden everyone is just going after one another. Like the last few days have been wild. I know a lot of stuff has happened to lead up to this but I feel like the pin is just out of the grenade and all hell just broke loose.

I’m trying to keep up with it all and listening to all the tracks since it’s interesting to me. I studied hip hop in a couple of classes in uni so this is really interesting. I’m just going to watch it all unfold and see what happens. But I will say I hope it doesn’t get too crazy and no one gets hurt.

    I like the Carly Simon quotation. We tend to think of scars as something to bear, not so much to be ennobled by. I mean physically or figuratively. I have scars from operations and experience. I don’t think of them as noble. Maybe I should.

      Yeah, I think we’re so used to thinking of our scars both visible and invisible as a bad thing but in some ways they make us who we are.

    Don’t know about the beef, but I like the quote. Was reading about Carly recently. Always liked her music; she and her sisters sang as kids but only she pursued it. Everybody thought she’d only succeed bc her dad is Simon of Simon & Schuster publishing but after numerous gold and platinum records, guess the naysayers have been corrected 😎

    I know, I’m 65 and hip hop isn’t supposed to be my thing, but I listen to anything as long as it’s got a little soul….and hey, Drake is a Canuck..so I have to be on his right?…..maybe, just lettin’ my back bone slide….weird thing, right now getting into another Canadian that calls himself Classified, Inner Ninja….but if it’s music, well except for a lot of country..I pretty much like everything, but then there’s Keith Urban, Steve Earle, Shania Twain and the Dixie Chicks….and remember Blondie rapping?

          If the xxxxxxxx girls in the Lxxxx-Dxxxx gossip-song debate are real and were contextualized in the Carly Simon quote, they are not ennobled by their scars. Are they? Brave and strong to raise a child on their own, or does everyone get hurt and suffer and have an empty ruined life? According to xxxx magazine, Dxxxx claims he leaked false information to Lxxxx to stir up a song competition of hip-hop “debate” of a vulgar kind.
          In a war, many are left dead, either physically or mentally. It is noble that they fought for the survival of the others. But it is tragic. In the symbolic sense of history, it is like the celebration of dueling scars in the fictionalized stories of legendary duels. Some battle songs are charming and up-beat but very ritualized perhaps as they say like a Kabuki dance in politics.

          I don’t know. I haven’t followed these things but I can see that it would be too dangerous to even have an opinion. I don’t need to be on a spam list or something. I suppose I have to learn to do trivial chatter without talking about anything with the potential to be serious or controversial. The flowers are blooming and the sun rises every day. Oh nevermind — somebodies going to complain about that being being controversial because it attracts too many bees who sting dogs or something…

He’s just embarrassing himself and ruining his career… Real people who know hiphop are not to give Drake any kind of support, he shouldn’t have messed with a genius

    I had to catch up on the Drake & Kendrick Lamar feud; I used to be a huge hip hop fan but … changed. Haha. I wouldn’t say I grew out of it because that makes it sound like I think it’s immature and that’s not it. I still listen to UK Grime and Drill sometimes when I want to feel unique. 😅

    I’ve never been a Drake fan but I liked a few songs I heard, like the one he did with Giggs (a British rapper so that makes sense for me). I definitely vibe with Kendrick more. A lot of artist’s feuds seem like they’re really just to get attention for the artists and aren’t real, but this one feels real after reading about it! I gotta say, just from the article I read (https://www.billboard.com/lists/drake-kendrick-lamar-beef-timeline/2015-2016-subtle-shots-fired-from-both-sides-but-nothing-groundbreaking/) I would have to side more with Drake because it sounds like he just shrugged everything off for a while while Lamar kept coming at him almost in a desperate way to get attention, lol. But this article is probably biased and missing facts.

    I also can’t help but notice you didn’t mention which team you’re on… 🤔😁

      I sort of got over rap a bit as I got older just because I got so into other genres but this has pulled me back in lol.

      I don’t support either because if the accusations being thrown around are true they both aren’t great people. BUT I do think Kendrick won just because his lyrics are on point and Drake came off looking dumb for not doing the minimum research before dropping the second diss track. Like he claimed that he fed Kendrick fake info but Drake messed up with the info too and it was literally out there for all to see.

    ~ Music is so central to who we are, both collectively and as individuals.
    ~ I’ve never been much into rap, I don’t follow it. But Hip-Hop a little because of Dessa – a white female from Minnesota, who’s also a poet, writer, and philosopher.

    I don’t know if I’m Team Kendrick as much as I am Team Please Somebody Get Drake Out of Here so I have GREATLY enjoyed watching him get dragged by the entire industry (albeit late because dude has been a cornball for nearly a decade).

    As much as I love the tracks (Kendrick has truly put on a clinic), my favorite bit by far is the “BBL Drizzy” beat contest. lmao.

    I love that in 2024, two grown men still beef with each other by writing angry poems about each other. Lol.

    I love that quote. I’m a very big Carly Simon fan. She has one of my favorite voices of all time.

      Lol honestly I think all disagreements should be dealt with by sending one another angry poems.

      Thanks, she’s amazing for sure.

        Which side of the Kendrick / Drake beef are you on? Or did you take a side?

    I love rap and hip hop but I was not aware of what was going on? Guess I need to keep in the know more! I’m out of the loop! X
