Yeah. Gobert just welcome his first child.

He will be available for game 3 most likely.

Flight delay. I know that pilot is a Nuggets fan

donlittle25:
On God. Cause wetin this guy they play. Looks scared af

I'm to the point I don't even rate regular season stats again.

You can see what Paul George, Harden and Westbrook do come playoffs year after year and someone like Paul George I'm hearing in Hall of Fame conversations which is so weird to me

larride:
Gobert to miss game 2

Nuggets caught a huge break. No excuses now

Halibooty. Playoffs will always expose these regular season stat padding merchants

seankafor:
Nigeria eats her babies 🙁

Gestapo Government. Shades of Third Reich Germany, Nigerians don't know what they have entered in the hands of this Feudalist.

I'm happy that this myth of Tinubu being a capitalist and economic savant is dying a gory death

KingTom:
Hmmmmm, tell me you're cheesin' fam? I guess he's truly like Michael

Drake has too many dodgy receipts that it was almost too easy for Kendrick

You say you never looked at a teenager twice but there's videos of you kissing a 17 year old on stage

Jimmy Jam daughter you're linked to her at 16

A girl born in 2004 is saying on live TV is you told her you missed her 6 years ago.

So using almost 4 minutes to deny just makes you look stupid

You notice Kendrick no even dignify the paternity fraud and DV talk with response, playing offense at all times

iamoyindamola:
Never see or hear it before now

Actually better to cut yam than take it home only to find out e don rot like Ibime said. The discovery can be painful

BlueMann:
Man this game is so ugly. Competitive series with some mean defense, but I'm glad it's ending.
Orlando's offense stinks

56 free throws shot. Only 7 more made field goals than free throws.

Anyways, Cavs will face the Celtics

I just dey pity the rim.

Orlando wan use Brick scatter am

KingTom:
The Millie Bobby Brown line sef was totally unnecessary

https://twitter.com/mzicyobe/status/1782426844668502233?s=19

How you wan take explain am sef when this kin video dey circulation? Would have been better digging up the DV allegations you made on Kendrick. He has too many dodgy teenager interactions to not just ignore altogether

KingTom:
This one sounds like he's been holding back hate for a long time

Be like Drake don tap out. I heard his track and it sound like a concession speech.

Blud used almost the full track to deny he was a paedophile and sex offender (mind you video dey of 14 year old girl telling interviewer say Drake dey text am advice am about boys)

There's this mistake people make, when person dey diss you no dey respond to anything wey e talk. Bomb and attack them with your own yabs from start to finish

Ronald Reagan said it best. If you're explaining you're losing

Android17:
But that has never been the narrative about Kdot and Drake. The narrative has always been one was the lyricist who focused on conscious music while the other did melodic rap that women could twerk to. You've seen the same argument made here.

Now all the tenets of rap don't matter to Mr Morale the Pulitzer prize winning lyricist?

This is rap beef. The aim is to eviscerate your opponent in the eyes of the masses not speak grammar or appeal to rap purists that make 0.01% of the population

When they put out full length albums then you can begin to breakdown that one.

For now all that counts is how hard you can break your opponent and destroy their credibility

Ibime:
Drake mess up with that amateur approach of explaining the black/white thing. Na rookie move

But all in all, KDOT shit has been underwhelming

All Drake needs to do is release a hard track on a hard beat and he has won this for me. No singing, no pop beat, just go ham like Remy Ma did with Shether

Streets is already calling Drake a paedophile and digging up receipts.

It's very difficult to diss track your way out of those allegations

Drake is going to have something nuclear on the level of 300 Bars and Runnin or Pest Control levels and even then Kendrick has achieved his aim of maligning Drake's character

Beef tracks have never been about outrappin anybody it's always been about damaging their credibility and psyche. 50 is not a better rapper than JaRule, he didn't do better diss tracks on a lyrical level per se. He just turned enough people against him that his shit stopped poppin

The funny part is pure rap skills Kendrick still clears both Drake and Cole

KingTom:
And while all this was happening, that werey Metro dropped a beat titled BBL DRIZZY and is calling for verses, best verse gets a free beat

https://twitter.com/luvkurby/status/1787053208579219771?s=19

Now Soundcloud rappers are cooking him.

KingTom:
And all Drake has said is he's short, wears a size 7 and is under a slave contract. Person talk say e hate everything about you, dropped a diss barely an hour after yours and this is after saying he calculates you and even predicts your angles, used your Toronto Mansion marked with sex offender tags as his cover art and you're telling me he's not winning? Omo make Drake leave matter, he had better ignore Kendrick like he did Pusha, at least the world knows he's not a pushover or Poosie like Jermaine

Drake cooked him on Family Matters too ngl.

The whole wifebeating, double life and paternity fraud angle also enter but Kendrick omo ogbon he didn't even address the matter. Which is hella smart btw

Ronald Reagan once said if you're explaining you're losing

Face your own angle and hammer on it. Now people are digging up all types of videos about Drake's father, about how he dey pursue young girls and all that jazz.

kingBolton:
I am tempted to say most of those guys are drake fans or guys who never liked kdot in the first place...Diss track has always been how low or dirty you can get and how it sticks...
Funny enough drake had powerful punchlines but why he decided to sing them is what i don't understand.

Drake's bars were hella nice. In fact he should leave all the other guys out of it in his next rebuttal and face strictly Kendrick

I don't sleep on Drake, he's a battle tested guy. The problem is he's facing a guy as good as him fueled by pure hate, e no need views, money or clout

Kendrick was also smart for not allowing the Family Matters song land well well before dropping 2 to cover am.

All these lyrics wey una wan analyze nobody has time for that for real world. Na how much mud you fit sling at your opponent na him matter

KingTom:

Bro. I dey hear multis I just weak. Wetin consign diss track with all that one

All that one na paralysis by analysis. One of Naija best diss tracks na Wackawickee MC and not because Eedris was not yarnin a bunch of megedefegede but his yabs were direct and had a sweet hook to match

Shit on your opponent, assassinate their character and credibility

In fact if only Rap heads can relate with your diss you have failed

Emaprince:
Bruh!!!

You also noticed all that end rhymes that arent even on beat.

In "meet the grahams" This guys flows and end rhymes was atrocious. Very poorly structured and seemed forced. Sometimes most of hisrhymes dont even rhyme. Smh

Fans are just hyping that trash for hyping sake...and to appear cool

Hehehe how many casual observers dey listen for rhyme schemes and patterns

Make una dey serious nau haba

Android17:
Not just meh stuff but rehashed and outright lies and people are letting him get away with it.

The art for 'Meet the Grahams' was clearly baited. After he realized it, he just lapped this 'Not Like Us' to cover it and kill its momentum but people just went with it.

Then not flowing to the beat. No rhyming well and barely using multis. Using lines battle rappers had already used online. Releasing multiple tracks which is the sure-fire proof you know every thing you are dropping is not sticking.

Even the 'Meet the Grahams' never responded to any of the jabs on 'Family Matters' but people tried to pass it off as some calculated move even when the track was clearly written before 'Family Matters'.

This is an agenda-based beef and fans of both factions will root for their beloved regardless of what is released. I've made peace with that fact.

Beef has never been about your lyrical schemes, rhymes or multis. It's never been a purist sport

This one no be Nairaland Rap battle.

All beef has always been about agenda and how low can you go and how much feelings you can hurt.

Rap beef has always been the amount of dirt you can shovel on your opponent.

Drake is losing thus far. That's the uncomfortable truth.

greypencils:
Nothing is going to be different unless Jamal Murray steps up to deliver at least 30-35 points. Denver's engine have always been Jokic & Murray. MPj is usually the occasional star. AG and Caldwell Pope are non-factors. And like mentioned severally, there is no bench. Bruce Brown kept it ticking last championships. There is no freaking body on the bench unless Reggie Jackson suddenly becomes superman.

You're right. Jamal has to go band for band with Antman like he did last season where he went 27-6-6

The issue is the Wolves know he's not 100% and so they keep trying him picking him up from 90ft. Nuggets players too instead of stepping up and setting screens and giving him space they stand in the corner as if they will even make the open 3 when they get it

All those comeback runs vs the Lakers might have done some damage. The Timberwolves shot 70% from the field in the second half. That's insane. Could it be fatigue or Timberwolves just are an excellent shot making team cos I saw Timberwolves in the regular season, they were not this good offensively

larride:
Nugget has no role players nah.

They do. The problem is they're not being stars in their roles

I've watched playoffs long enough to see average players have one or two playoff games where they go ballistic.

If the likes of Watson, Braun and Holiday cannot have 1 playoff game where they're effective enough to score double digits or make an undeniable impact then the Nuggets have to ask themselves why these players are on the roster. You don't put players on the bench in the playoffs just to be a warm body, you're either a high energy guy that defends and crashes the boards or you can come off the bench and go on a quick 8-0 run. Other than that you're a liability that will ultimately cost the team the series

Emaprince:
Cole is foever relegated. No one will rate him anywhere near top MCs.

This isnt even about rap street beefs. This is the competiveness inherent in rap. Cole just dissapointed the entire rap world . There is no backing down in any hiphop beefs especially if its on wax. In this case, its avenue to outspit and out write the other guy. But the mugu apologized. Smh. Tufia.

Any news about cole, I am no longer interested. He should start making only love songs for women.

That's the main issue. He didn't even have the heart, that's the weakest move I've ever seen in my life.

Kendrick na nice guy cos me I'd have bombed him harder and called out his cowardice. You really think my shit is mid say it with your chest, don't double back now.

I respect Drake even though Kendrick is dumping on him now, Drake always goes out swinging

I'm not really a heavy Cole listener anyway, I like him on features but just Cole on a track doesn't work for me. Maybe one or two songs sha. I like ATM and No Role Models

airmark:
Well, you are right. But, is it only Apc that destroyed Nigeria?

Dezaini that looted the treasury, was she an Apc member when she stole? Both APC and PDP are culpable. No Naija politician should be trusted, they are terrible.

All economic indices and growth metrics point to Nigeria doing better under PDP than APC.

A junior to mid level professional in 2013 could buy a 2007 car with his earnings. That cannot happen now.

I was not a Jonathan fan for personal reasons but he said one thing that we all took for granted. Incompetence is worse than corruption. Was PDP under Jonathan and Yaradua corrupt yes, but APC have combined corruption with incompetence and the disaster is what people are witnessing today.

Like I said. You have people back home. You can't tell me the billing has not exponentially increased under APC

KingTom:
Cole has always been like that, even when he did False Prophets an obvious Kanye diss, that nigga was just beating about the bush about how the track wasn't for anyone in particular smh

I don't like niggas that throw stones and hide their hands

It's either you're strictly making good vibes music like Phonte or you go hard in the paint. All that sneak dissing pattern will get you zero respect.

He will forever be a punchline now and easy target when other rappers wan yab person and e no go fit talk cos they will ask him why didn't you have all that smoke for Kendrick

Sportsweb:
JCole disappointed his fans. Such a weak ass move. Why is he scared of Kendrick..he could have cooked Kendrick better than Drake.

Exactly. He cannot explain away what he did without people suggesting he was scared. Even went as far as taking the track of the album.

Are you sure he can cook Kendrick better than Drake??

I'm not even a Drake fan but Drake is the most battle ready rapper of the 3. I respect that he takes on all comers, whether he writes his raps who knows but Drake don't duck nobody

Cole put out that weak ass track and tapped out after all his greasy talk on records. Sad

airmark:
Ngbo, Raumdeuter?

Everybody knows APC has destroyed Nigeria. I've seen you posting here about having people back home. Ask them what their eyes are seeing courtesy of that poverty establishment.

Ask them if Tinubu presidency has not been a disaster thus far

Don't know what Raumdeuter has to do with this?

birdman:
Its not just about ant mans skills. Its his leadership, being able to make a team want it just as bad. I believe it was a40 that said I was too harsh on Lakers. But I know what I saw, Lakers bench was at least as good, if not better.

This win, in nuggets territory exposes the fraud that was the lakers team this year. These guys were never going to win a ring this year and only wanted to be in the playoffs so they can say they didnt miss it.

It also exposes the Durants and Beals and Hardens. Even Kyrie and Kawhi. A whole generation just whined and got coaches fired, but never took that MJ crown. Them youngns exposing them now.

Your Lakers don't have no Naz Reid on the bench bruv.

When a bench player comes on in the 4th quarter and scores 14 there's not much you can do to counter that

Naz Reid dey make wide open 3s Jokic dey miss. What do you do with that?

Nuggets led this game longer than they did vs the Lakers the problem is only Jokic and MPJ showed up. And the Nuggets lack of bench is showing. Role players should be shining in home games but for some reason Nuggets role players are not shining

liveLongNprospa:
It's the hate that has people really excited.
Still think J cole made a bad decision?

I knew there was some beef there but I didn't know it was to this degree.

The best response would have been to not record a diss track at all

Now Cole is forever #3. Can never even chook mouth or rap about killing MCs or being best anything ever again

Any rapper this committed to the hate deserves my respect.

This one is not for clicks, clout or views. Just fueled by pure undiluted hate.

Ibime:
J Cole so disappointed me with that nonsense

J Cole grew up as a battle rapper on internet boards battling every week. Battle rappers worldwide that were rooting for him will be so disappointed with that apology.

I fuvcked with J.Cole them early mixtape days and he used to really smoke niggas on features, Wale and Jay Z were two of his victims but for some reason I never really jived with his albums

I still respected J.Cole cos if you feature him on your track you're in problem cos he go outshine you yet his own songs always sounded flat

But for him to always talk all that greasy talk and then to back out in such a poosie way

He can never show his face in any battle settings again make e just switch to gospel cos na the first thing them go use yab am be that

Nuggets cannot win this series if they don't improve their shooting.

Asides MPJ the others have been terrible. Without the threat of the shooting these guys will just camp in the paint. All those awoof lobs no show for Aaron Gordon again. Them block am pa

Game 2 somebody in that Denver team has to take up the challenge to get in Antman's drawers [super pause] guard him and sacrifice that game that you're not beating us today. Let it be Gobert, Towns, Conley but not you.

larride:
Imagine parading Reggie Jackson, Holiday, Watson and Braun for bench.

Nuggets no serious.

They don't have a Naz Reid that can just come off the bench and score. It's an indictment on their front office that they didn't thunk to get anyone that can shoot or get you buckets off the bench

Yeah no coming back from this one
