Former Donda's House heavy affiliate exposes Rhymefest exploiting the org. for clout chasing

I know this sub isn't just another place for tea and petty gossip but Rhymefest is a somewhat notable rapper in the context of early 2000s, for people within the culture. And Kanye of course needs no descriptor other than his name for me to get the point across. I feel as this is a situation important to the rappers themselves, and the Chicago artistically talented youth formerly and currently affiliated with Donda's House.

Turkish rapper Ezhel just arrested over lyrics "promoting drug use". Gov threatens him w/ 5 years in prison.

Posted: 27 May 2018 12:15 PM PDT

Ezhel - one of the most famous rappers in Turkey - just relased his debut Müptezhel (Junkie) last year, and since then he is killin the whole Turkish rap scene and charts with 577,683 followers on Spotify.

Ezhel was detained by narcotics police in Istanbul late Thursday and was later charged with encouraging the use of drugs, he could face a five-year prison term for encouraging the use of drugs in his song lyrics and video clips.

His arrest led to a social media campaign by supporters, with many users calling for his release using the hashtag "FreeEzhel." Ezhel's manager Riza Okcu said: "FreeEzhel, writing a song cannot be a crime - the government should arrest the real criminals. Rap music tells the truth about what happens in the streets."

Check his most popular song Şehrimin Tadı (Taste of My City) where he combines popular trap sound with reggea and Anatolian influences:

Album Review of DAYTONA by Pusha T

Album Review: DAYTONA

Pusha T's third effort is a bold and triumphant antithesis to contemporary music.

Whitney's pain.

When Kanye announced via Twitter in late-April that Pusha T's long-awaited album would be dropping May 25th, there was both excitement and skepticism. It wasn't just the controversy surrounding Ye at the time but also the fact that fans had been teased with a new Pusha album since 2013 but left empty handed*. Inclusively, no singles or any attempt at marketing had really been employed for the album.

It wasn't until days leading up to the release did Pusha and his team confirm that the album was indeed dropping and that its title had been changed from KING PUSH to DAYTONA. The other aspect of the record that was confirmed was the 7-song tracklist. Initial response was a bit of wary and disappointment as many fans felt they were being shorthanded after such a long wait. Regardless, it seemed the wait was finally over and fans were ready to be served up a fresh project from the GOOD Music camp.

In a swift and ruthless 20-minutes, DAYTONA slaughters the contemporary music landscape in a fashion that would leave Genghis Khan in awe.

In the current market where the focus is accumulating the highest streams possible, many artists are engaging what has been dubbed "data dumping". This is when an artist releases an album with 18–25 songs in order to loophole the system. It's basic mathematics — an 18-track album is going to get more stream counts than a 10-track album. This lends to record-breaking stream reports but says nothing about the actual quality of the album. Ultimately, these data dumps are the equivalent of a significantly photoshopped and filtered Instagram model.

DAYTONA goes defiantly against the market. A 7-track album that clocks in at a scant 20-minutes, a decision influenced by Mr. West who also produced the album from top to bottom. Ye convinced Push to commit to the daring move under the belief that "if we can't kill you in seven songs, we really don't need to be doing the music." It was quality over quantity. Cut all the fat out and deliver the leanest work of art possible.

From the opening track "If You Know You Know" to its closer "Infared", DAYTONA is a carefully crafted wave of ferocity harboring a blitzkrieg of laser sharp raps backed by what is arguably Ye's most expertise production.

Pusha explained that its title represents the "luxury of time" — he can create art at his pace with no mandatory label deadlines to meet. It's also a direct reference to Rolex Daytona watches, which of course are luxury brand watches. The other aspect of this luxury concept is its minimalist presentation, high-end cost (in regards to the samples and artwork), and maximized experience— it may be a 6oz piece of steak, but it's filet mignon cooked up by a Michelin star chef.

Every fiber of DAYTONA is given pristine attention; not a single rhyme or sonic movement is delivered without conviction. The sample-heavy production is mean and lean, moving from track-to-track in sleek jolts. If one could correlate that with imagery, it's like Barry Sanders in his prime juking through defensive lines with disgusting ease. In many cases, it almost seems as if Kanye had Push rap acapella then constructed the beats around his vocal performance. It's that seamless.

The song structures play to no contemporary standard or formula but never feel disjointed or messy. Even with obstructive transitions (within and between songs) the overarching groove keeps things airtight. The sonic landscape of DAYTONA is a hybrid of the strongest aspects of Yeezus and The Life of Pablo. Much like Ye needed to experiment with Graduation and 808s & Heartbreak to elevate his production, the aforementioned were necessary to do the same on this project.

Lyrically, it's Push's greatest hits on steroids. The coke raps are there of course and they're home runs but the album offers a lot more nuance and poignant moments than Pusha T gets credit for. "Santeria" for example, Pusha raps with enraged sadness on the murder of his road manager De'Von Picket

Darken my doorstep, they told me the day's gone

You listening, De'von?

As I'm talking to your spirit, for God's sake

I'm dealing with heartbreak

DAYTONA maintains daunting consistency with quality rhymes that cover a range of topics, themes, and beliefs in organized fashion. What makes Pusha's rhymes rather remarkable is his ability to hit with gut punches and feverish imagery such as on "Baby Come Back" when he remarks on climbing the ladder to success high enough to see "complexions fade".

Lastly, the cover art. Upon its unveiling it unsurprisingly garnered a lot of attention and controversy. It wasn't because Kanye paid $85,000 cash for the licensing fee, it was the fact that it was a photograph of Whitney Houston's drug riddled bathroom in her Beverly Hills home at the peak of her crack addiction. A lot can be taken from the imagery and according to Push, Kanye stated that "this [the photo] is what people need to see to go along with this music." And after several listens it makes sense.

Crack has terrifying staying power once it infiltrates someone's life and it doesn't discriminate despite its urban prejudices. When taking a step back and examining everything that surrounds the photo, it's quite an awakening. On the outside is an affluent Beverly Hills home but on the inside is a catastrophe of pain. At its soul is a Diva beloved by many. The cover art is all encompassing of what DAYTONA embodies — brutal and beautiful. This is what people need to look at when listening to this album.

*Push T released an album in 2015 as a prelude to KING PUSH but wasn't seen as a serious release/follow-up by many fans.
