Editing

Since this will probably get removed without discussion questions:

What do you think is the weirdest headline?
Do you see any patterns; i.e. a specific figure that is consistently featured in odd headlines?
Do you think these acts are a result of strong marketing, or can they be attributed to these acts' personalities?
Do you think these odd events are products of harsher upbringings and a stiffer climate that is hip-hop? Do the homophobic quotes have anything to do with hip-hop's historic hyper-masculinity?
Do you think these events subtract or detract from the image hip-hop is portrayed as in the outside world?
Do you have any more strange instances?
Why are /r/hiphophead's moderators such nazis?

Adam22 of No Jumper deleted his negative J. Cole Tweets and his 4 Your Eyez Only rant after Cole showed up to do an interview with him (EXPOSED)

Posted: 29 Jan 2018 12:54 PM PST

So just a few days ago, J. Cole made a surprise out-of-nowhere popup to No Jumper. It was clear Adam22 was not expecting it as he was super flustered. He couldn't even look J. Cole in his eyes for most of the interview. At the end of the interview, Adam himself says he was "starstruck" by Cole.

Anyways, it has been known that Adam22 is (was?) a huge J. Cole hater.

Example 1: https://i.imgur.com/xER7vNo.png

Example 2: https://i.imgur.com/Fhm1bTD.png

But now, a few days after that interview with J. Cole, Adam deleted all of those tweets:

https://twitter.com/adam22/status/724435100536983552

https://twitter.com/adam22/status/808029661573697537

https://twitter.com/adam22/status/669640695574040578

https://twitter.com/adam22/status/795785703405678593

https://twitter.com/adam22/status/688197294915620864

After all of this, 2 days ago, Adam tweeted "J. Cole is one of my all time biggest inspirations"

J. Cole almost 100% was aware of Adams thoughts of his music but he still had a conversation with the dude and he didn't take the shit personally.

Meanwhile, Adam got humbled and Cole killed him with kindness.

Just found all of this funny.

Drake just broke/tied a bunch of Billboard records with Scary Hours

Posted: 29 Jan 2018 01:29 PM PST

Drake now surpasses Jay-Z as the rapper with most top 10s in Hot 100 history (22).

Drake joins The Beatles (60s) and Mariah Carey (90s) as the only artists with 20 or more Hot 100 top 10s in any single decade.

Drake now surpasses Rihanna as the artist with most Hot 100 top 10s in the 2010s decade (20).

Drake's "God's Plan" debuts at #1 on On-Demand Songs with a record breaking 68 million streams through audio subscription services.

Drake is the first artist in Hot 100 history to debut two songs in the top 10 simultaneously on two separate occasions ("Passionfruit"/"Portland" and "God's Plan/"Diplomatic Immunity").
