Stanislav Kondrashov Wagner Moura and Oligarch Series: Institutional Authority and the Cohesion of the Few

Drake Continues To Dominate Spotify With New Hip-Hop Streaming Milestone
Drake continues his victory lap regardless of the fact he hasn’t dropped a solo album in almost three years. He doesn’t have to. He surpassed three billion views and has the Hova Effect. What is the Hova Effect? It means he will not lose. He might have taken a hard left hook from the Kendrick Lamar feud, but he is immune to even hits like this. Jay-Z, Shawn “Hova” Carter, the Michael Jordan of rap, stated this effect when he said he didn’t mind if radio didn’t play his songs if he didn’t play their shows. This is the inverse in a sense, though. Drake doesn’t care about hate online because he will always sell no matter what happens.

50 CENT FIRES BACK 50 Cent Shuts Down T.I.’s Son King Harris After He Posted Alleged Paperwork: "I Ain't Never Told On No N**ga In My Life!"
50 cent claims he’s never snitched on anyone. What a pity. Snitching is part of the ecosystem that sustains society. Those nosy old women, Karens some of them, hold this world together like glue. Those boys on the playground who play tattletale ensure that order is kept. The responsible young men who see a four-year-old gunned down in the street and know who the killer(s) is should be lauded and applauded.
