Happy 2022 /r/hiphopheads! Hope you all enjoyed your holidays and are ready to get back into it with our third official rate.
We're kicking off the new year with a best of losers rate, to see which of the four albums we have here can reach the closest to the highs of The Heist. Whether you had wanted Kendrick to win the first HHH rate or maybe you just hate the Grammy's in general, I hope to see you all participate as we revisit some well-loved, critically acclaimed albums from 2012-2013 and Magna Carta.
If youโre new to rates, welcome! A rate is essentially an event where we pit a few albums with a common theme against each other (try to guess this oneโs). Everyone listens to them, scores every song out of 10, and sends those numbers to myself. In about a month, Iโll tally everyoneโs scores and host a reveal where weโll see how each song stacks against each other, from the lowest to the highest averaged scores. Rate reveals are a fun time all around, we joke, we roast, but we also talk pretty passionately about the music we're into. Check out the past two reveal threads for a feel. And if you have any more questions, the Rate 101 tab on this Google Doc is a great resource, although feel free to ask in the thread as well.
Now letโs get into the albums weโll be rating over the next few weeks.
Kendrick Lamar - good kid, m.A.A.d city > I live inside the belly of the rough, Compton, USA, made me an angel on angel dust

For his second studio album and major label debut, Kendrick Lamar wanted to a sound that was different from his prior

Assume that Iโm Robert Baratheon, first of my name, and Iโve just been crowned king on this day, 283 AC.
As in the current timeline, I appoint Jon Arryn as Hand and pardon Ser Barristan Selmy and Ser Jamie Lannister. I immediately get set to work rehabilitating Jamieโs image in the public eye, assuring the people that Aerys wouldโve burned Kingโs Landing if not for his heroic actions.
Who I donโt pardon, is the Mountain and Tywin Lannister. Ser Gregor would be executed as soon as humanly possible via beheading. Period. Even barring the butchering of Ella and her children, the man is too dangerous to be kept alive. Both his head, and his lands in the Westerlands would be given to the Dornish as a peace offering. As well as the bodies of Ella, Rhaenys, and Aegon for a proper burial. With Tywin itโs more complicated. Obviously he wonโt be too happy about the death of his top knight and the loss of Gregorโs Keep, but hopefully not enough to declare arms(?). With that in mind Iโd strip Tywin from his position as Lord of Casterly Rock and any other titles and make Jamie ruler instead for his heroism in the Rebellion. This will piss him off, but Jamie is his favorite son, and at the end of the day the Lannisters are still in power. Thus making my first reform; members of the Kingsguard can now hold land. I would also marry Cersei, as in the current timeline, and tell her that I know about the incest and donโt care as long as she is willing to produce a legitimate heir. (Notice the lack of specifically a legitimate โmaleโ heir, more on this later)
Obviously Iโd try to make amends with Eddard as soon as possible, and appoint him as the first to hold a new position on the Small Council; the Master-of-War. The defense minister, head of national security, and commander of Westerosโs new standing army, second only to the King. The position of โWardenโ is abolished, instead replaced with an elite corps of career soldiers paid a salary with a dedicated infrastructure of command. At the lowest rank, there would be Squires. They would intern for Knights for a year, trained in both sword combat and archery, never deployed in combat unless in the most dire of circumstances. They would be equipped with padded leather, a bow, and the most basic of swords. Above them, there would be Esquires. The everyday soldiers, they would be outfitted with boiled leather worn under some mail, three bows and the standard issue sword. Next woul

Just like the original Magna Carta reigned in the King of England in 1215, we need one today to reign in corporations. We need minnimum national requirements for max required hours, lunchbreaks, paid time off, notice of separation, etc.
The time has clearly come. Unfortunately we have come to live in a corrupt corporatocracy, so it is questionable if this can happen. But maybe in the end it is up to us.
Yeah I've found some more on my computer.
1st track off the Bonnie & Clyde EP is missing, I've deleted it a long time ago because it was just a clean version of '03 Bonnie & Clyde.

The teacher asked the boy, "Why did you write this?" The boy replied, "Because you always say that history repeats itself!"
I personally feel that any English government after the Magna Carta is illegitimate, since it left the compromised by baronial influence.
No hate if you feel otherwise, just trying to see how you all feel.
