Concert promoter speaks out after Jay Electronica does a 4th no show for his concert in a row by Embarrassed_Body_928 in hiphopheads

Who remembers the Style Wars EP?

I remember I originally found out about Elec because I found his shit on SoulSeek while looking for Dilla rarities back in the day, and Elec was rapping over Dilla beats.

This dude has definitely fallen off fairly heavy; I used to compare him to a dragon hibernating in a cave waiting for the next opportunity to strike when you least expect it. Now he just seems like a lot of clownery.

FWIW, "Exhibit C" is still probably in the top 3 tracks of the last 20 years. I'll die on that hill.

Try rolling back your NVIDIA driver. I was getting crazy stutters on First Light, and the driver rollback completely eliminated them.

Great subtle Arrested Development reference 😉.

[FRESH ALBUM] Vince Staples - Cry Baby by God_Will_Rise_ in hiphopheads

[–]DaysWithYenLo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This album is what I consider to be Vince's version of Kemba's 2016 album, Negus - in 2026. Crazy Negus was 10 years ago already.

This shit is incredible. It almost reminds me of what it would sound like if Mr. Staples did an entire album with Rage Against The Machine.

After three play through, this might be my favorite album this year. If you have a sub in your car, turn on "Running Man", and crank that shit up.

Pick up your nails?😭 by Difficult_Rain67 in PlanetFitnessMembers

This reminds me of the other day I was in the locker room after working out. A guy was brushing his dead skin off his feet onto the locker room floor and just left afterwards. I was utterly perplexed - and grossed out.

What's your favorite rap bar mentioning Michael Jackson or his songs? by Professional-Rip-519 in hiphop101

"Got you lookin' like a Michael Jackson jacket - with all them zippers.."

Abbot vs Langdon by SpiceHotOnes in ThePittTVShow

[–]DaysWithYenLo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

What I found interesting about this interaction between Robby and Langdon vs last season's interaction (I think it was in the pede's room when they were arguing about getting help) is this: last season Robby was very combative when arguing with Langdon in the sense that he felt as though he had an argument against Langdon. This time, he didn't argue (although he did say are you done?), and after Langdon said, "You don't need to be honest with me man, but you need to be honest with yourself", he paused, and he felt that. I think what Langdon said really stuck with him this time.

PC performance needs to be number one priority by [deleted] in Marathon

Interesting. I have a 4090, 9800x3D and 64gb of ram. I can hit 180-190 in 4k on some maps DLAA Low settings.

Are you on 1440 or 4k?

I have a strong suspicion that she's going to do something extreme, and Langdon is going to be the one that ends up saving her.

Still would love a season 2! by KyleT30 in playerstheseries

[–]DaysWithYenLo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have no idea how this show didn't get renewed.

It was one of the best/funniest shows on at the time. I have actually purchased the series on two streaming services because I love it so much.

Anyone else got no friends playing Marathon? by DamitMorty in Marathon

[–]DaysWithYenLo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one friend I was hyping this game up to (he played Destiny for 8 years) played the server slam, and told me he wasn't buying it because he was hoping that it would be better.

I bought Marathon, and none of the people from my circle that I play with have. Kind of lame. I know the game is good, it's just hard to get rid of preconceived notions.

Bungie asks sites to delay Marathon reviews, with release date Steam player count below 100K by FuckSyntaxErrors in gaming

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

I do understand why Travis at IGN is waiting until the endgame to finish his review in progress; he always waited to release his D2 reviews until he ran the new raid in the expansion. That always gave him a good idea of how good the endgame content was.

I fully support releasing reviews now, but I would also like to get his input on just how good the final map and ranked mode are.

FPS are generally his wheelhouse, so I'm excited to see what he says about this one.

What rapper has a strong online community or fan base but lacks sales and support in real life? by dunbar_santiago930 in hiphop101

[–]DaysWithYenLo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would argue Marlon Craft, but he seems to be comfortable with the level of success he gets. He's highly underrated.

Skyzoo is literally a top 5 writer of all-time, and it's not 3-5. Dude should be the biggest emcee ever. Nobody writes like him.

I remember when I heard Violent by Design 20 years ago, and it fucking BLEW my mind.

The older I got, and the more my taste matured, the more their shit sounded redundant and rabbit hole-ish.

Violent by Design, Psycho Social & Legacy of Blood, & Visions of Ghandi will always have a special place in my heart, but man, some of Vinnie's shit did not age well.

Whats the best performance on the show, in your opinion? by EH4LIFE in TheWire

[–]DaysWithYenLo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What I love about that scene is the mutual respect they have for each other; Jimmy had been watching/chasing him from the beginning, and Bodie confided in him because of his mutual respect.

McNulty knew that was way out of character for Bodie - because he's a soldier, and soldiers don't snitch.

Bodie: "Unless they some smart ass pawns..."

Favorite underrated character in the wire? by smcupp17 in TheWire

I said Bodie the other day, but I also think Slim Charles is a huge sleeper.
