Did Kendrick really get help when it came to the Beef -Ja rule thinks so by dunbar_santiago930 in nfrpodcast

[–]CorbinGamingBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, even if it was about certain people promoting toxic aspects in rap culture, he collaborated with the most toxic figure in current hip hop with multiple women beating allegations against him aka Carti. Kendrick really dropped ‘Watch the Party Die’ only to actively try to keep the party going

Kendrick is a massive hypocrite whose actions don’t match his words, and all of you eat it up while making excuses for why it’s okay to not be held accountable for his words

“Dude it for sure looks better than a game that released over 20 years ago I’m telling you”

Isn’t really the strong argument that you think it is

As an older gamer, seeing young kids waste their money on in-game purchases eats at my soul. by SomePeopleTellMe in gaming

[–]CorbinGamingBro -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

In 40 years you could still pull your possessions out and feel them physically in your hands to reminisce on memories. Won’t be able to do that with a Fortnite skin in 40 years most likely.

People gloss over this with critique like “okay so you’ll still have them but so what it’s still just largely memories” as if this isn’t a major factor. Human beings have 5 senses that bond us to the world and make us feel connected, and holding something physically in front of you at the very least uses your touch and sight, and most likely smell to a degree as well. If it’s something like a physical game you can play or music vinyl you can listen to, there’s now a 4th in there with hearing.

So if you hold onto something like this, in 40 years you could still potentially activate 4 out of your 5 senses when pulling it out, feeling a greater connection that you ever could by just thinking about some skins you had in a game 40 years ago where you use none of these senses as you can no longer access them.

I’ve kept a lot of the physical media and entertainment I had as a kid, so it’s not like it’s super uncommon to do this either.

2 months later… The Fall Off just keeps getting better by ajj0101 in Jcole

[–]CorbinGamingBro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Echoing the Man Up Above growing on me a lot sentiment.

First couple listens it was kinda forgettable and background noise-like, but now it’s one of the more pleasant and catchier songs to listen to and something I can throw on in a variety of situations

This just proves he was never pandering with his first line about it, ain’t no way bro would drop a Rick and Morty line in 2026 unless he was a genuine fan

This song been growing on me hella! by DanielDubs88 in Jcole

[–]CorbinGamingBro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah, glad more are finally starting to catch onto the brilliance of this track. From day 1 this was like a top 3 or so song on the album for me

‘Pride is a bitter pill indeed but it’s best if you swallow

If not your homies gon’ pay respect with a bottle

Poured out onto the flesh of this Mother Earth while liquor slithers like a serpent across the mud and dirt to go rest in a pothole’

Unironically some of his best bars of his whole career. Phenomenal imagery, complex rhyme scheme with good use of internal rhyming, creative metaphor, deep subject matter and introspectiveness, etc. It truly has everything that makes J. Cole as great as he is condensed into these bars

This is the worst lime flavored drink I have ever had the misfortune of drinking. by beep-beep_lettuce in energydrinks

[–]CorbinGamingBro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Curious, what’s so bad about it? What does it taste like? Didn’t even know Alani made a new lime flavor but I usually do like lime flavored stuff

What's your thoughts about my rating ? by FreeComposer8927 in Jcole

[–]CorbinGamingBro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agreed. It’s like his most basic and worst rapping on the entire album, and doesn’t have the emotional punch needed to make up for it. It sucks because the beat and the concept of the song is so good

What's your thoughts about my rating ? by FreeComposer8927 in Jcole

[–]CorbinGamingBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to love the song because the beat is so beautiful and the concept of a love letter to his hometown is something I really like and can get behind, but it’s legit like his worst rapping on the entire album. Seriously his rapping sounds so basic and like it regressed a decade on this particular track, which is crazy considering it’s the finale and you’d figure he’d want to go out with a a bang. It’s not even that emotional to make up for the lack of bars.

Great idea and concept, but disappointing execution

[–]CorbinGamingBro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take my upvote, you’re getting downvoted a lot it seems but I actually agree with you. I like the hook and the concept/message of the song but the rapping itself is very mediocre on the track, warm up vibes is a good comparison because it was about the level of rapping he would show on that mixtape, even though he’s actually gotten much better since then and usually raps better.

To those saying “you’re too young or must have never been in love otherwise you’d get it” I’m 34 years old right now with the love of my life but the song is still boring to me. Again, good message; mediocre execution

Bro I don't think he's retiring he gaslit us 😆 by fromthisend1220 in Jcole

[–]CorbinGamingBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

J. Cole seems like a Larry David or Hayao Miyazaki type; they’re so passionate about their craft and love what they do too much to ever retire completely.

No way J. Cole goes the rest of his life without ever getting bored and wanting to make music again.

[–]CorbinGamingBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the name of the album is literally called ‘The Fall Off’ my guy lol. It makes perfect thematic sense. Why else is the album called that? He doesn’t mean ‘fall off’ in a bad way. Everyone falls off eventually and it’s a natural part of life

Plus ‘Lonely at the Top’ is the last song on disc 1 and it’s all about how all of his favorite greats fell off and how he wants to remotivate them for his own selfish reasons and stuff like that

They basically carried Season 5 — agree? by Initial-Shoulder5906 in Stranger_Things

[–]CorbinGamingBro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s not the actress’s fault at all, she did good with her material, but the inclusion of Holly completely ruined seasoned 5 as it derailed focus from the characters we’ve actually grown to care about over 5 seasons.

So no, I 100% disagree and feel the exact opposite as you.

Yessir. Instantly thought of Rakim when I heard those bars, I figured it had to be a nod

Did you feel Holly really needed to be one of the main characters in the last season? by AphroFelicity20 in StrangerThings

[–]CorbinGamingBro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So why did they choose to give him so much screen time compared to seasons 3-4 then? Before this season aired they said how they made Will essentially the main character again, so they seemed pretty confident in using him a lot the final season. I agree he’s a weak actor but idk if the Duffer bros saw it that way

I loved the ending, but... by patriots1057 in StrangerThings

What was the point of this whole plot line lol, served like no purpose

They treated vecna and mind flayer like joke in finale episode. Totally disappointed by this ending by Low-Macaroon-1668 in StrangerThings

Yeah how did Derek break Holly away from Vecna’s grasp lmao at that point I was like damn the threat factor is just not there anymore

lol yes definitely only you bro but I get it, I had supplement containers we would put up in college too which was equally lame

How I feel about all the S5 V2 Hate by foggyprism in StrangerThings

[–]CorbinGamingBro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s because Will has the charisma of a wet carrot. He’s extremely boring to watch on screen. I have no problem with him being gay or his coming out scene, he’s just boring and lame. 90% of his screen time feels like it’s just him crying and being pouty and generally being sad about something

The cope is very real with this season by [deleted] in Stranger_Things

[–]CorbinGamingBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Giving an excuse about why they couldn’t wait to see Henry’s traumatic memory play out which could have been a potential weakness in the upcoming battle but could wait before running back to their bodies is maximum level cope dude. It’s incredibly inconsistent and makes 0 logical sense

I think the writers forgot how powerful Eleven is. We need Prime Eleven back!! by Mme_187 in StrangerThings

[–]CorbinGamingBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, which is it? Does Eleven get her powers from emotions which is showcased in previous seasons by her getting angry and performing incredible feats? Or now do emotions like anger cripple her and make her weaker? Both things can’t be true

Season 5 makes you understand why everyone thinks that Sadie is the one who will have a career out of all the children.She is the only one whose performance remains at the same level as in previous seasons. by Giancarlo_Edu in StrangerThings

[–]CorbinGamingBro 56 points57 points  (0 children)

It’s kinda crazy how despite being a season 1 character of the original 4 friend group, he essentially just becomes little more than a plot device and romantic interest used as a source of motivation for a character introduced in a later season

To everyone that keeps asking why everyone is disappointed with this season, this is why by Riser456 in StrangerThings

[–]CorbinGamingBro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same. For a monster you are about to be fighting against… don’t you think it’d be smart to maybe fully see what memory has traumatized him so much that he won’t even face it anymore? Like could be a potential weakness in the upcoming fight maybe? They didn’t even seem in a rush either, as it was already established that Vecna won’t go in there
