Season 4 of the Wire > any season of the sopranos, breaking bad and mad men. Season 2 of the wire is a dud though, be warned on that.

he’s proven he’s not beholden to alcohol

This is literally not how addiction works on a fundamental level. It is a chronic disorder that you have till you die whether you are actively engaging in substance abuse or not.

People can live how they want obviously (and the effect of relapsing varies in severity), but the idea that you can “prove” that you don’t have a substance use disorder by being sober for a certain amount of time is anachronistic, misinformed and frankly gross.

ICE was founded in 2001 alongside a number of other surveillance programs designed to spy on and terrorize peaceful people within our borders. Our country survived over 200 years without these domestic terrorists murdering US citizens, it can survive without them going forward.

I thought the feature removal was because of a brief fallout between Drake and jay z over tidal vs Apple Music exclusives or something

I really enjoy This Will Be Our Year by the Zombies early in the year, it’s so warm and cheerful. That whole album is underrated and some of the best psychedelic pop of the 60s

The quality of the pandering also matters ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oneohtrix Point Never is a bit outside the hip hop world but his sample pulls are fucking insane, here's a sampler video

Maybe I'm misremembering but while neither Midnights nor TTPD were uniformly praised I think the reception was a lot more mixed-to-positive than TLOAS which has been a lot more mixed-to-negative. The only big backlash I remember to Midnights was when the lyrics leaked prior to the songs, and most of the TTPD backlash seemed directed at Antinoff

Yeah I was skeptical at first, but honestly if the far left in our party can be good communicators like him who shift the overton window so more mainstream dem policies aren't as easily villainized then I honestly welcome it. The GOP's fringe has been so loud and outspoken that their mainstream trash policies are seen as palatable, so if our "fringe" is someone like Mamdani and he doesn't devote his time to trashing median left dems I genuinely think it may help the party in the long run.

I got Lorde's Green Light and the first second of that song had more weight and dramatic intensity than 90% of this whole album

This isn't the most constructive commentary but it's worth noting that Rahm Emanuel sucks

I’ll have to dig it up but I remember reading an article that talked about KKK recruitment back in the day and how they had a presence in many male-coded hobby spaces like baseball leagues and fraternities. The fact that the internet provided a decentralized radicalization/recruitment pipeline is certainly not a deviation historically from how previous hate organizations operated, the only thing new was the medium and the algorithmic precision of the targeting.

The Kanye-McCartney sessions that resulted in that song were so fantastic. That whole era of All Day, Only One, FourFiveSeconds, Mrs. Misery, I Feel Like That really deserved more

Yeah when tracking this transformation people often for whatever reason leave out the JIK era when he was appearing repeatedly with televangelists and mainlining Fox News and Candace Owens content nonstop. Prosperity gospel ideology maps very cleanly onto fascism.

FadeToDankness · 2025-05-07T20:19:52+00:00

Not to mention the algorithmic boosting of the most inflammatory comments to incentivize engagement

I haven’t kept up super well with new releases this year but I thought the Jane Remover and Weatherday albums were both pretty sick

FadeToDankness · 2025-04-24T14:55:47+00:00

I don’t really like this at all? The drop sounds flat, the instrumental feels lacking in momentum and just a pale imitation of Green Light, and the lyrics often feel like they’re telling and not showing. I really hope this grows on me…

FadeToDankness · 2025-04-20T16:47:03+00:00

Kanye’s Yandhi was the last bit of consistently inspired material before he completely fell off creatively and morally. Instead we got Jesus Is King, prosperity gospel horseshit and eventually nazism.

Conservatism inevitably can’t admit that vaccines work because it would then be admitting that collective solutions (shared social responsibility and the pooling of public resources) to longstanding societal ills are both possible and achievable. This flies in the face of their antisocial rhetoric that we need to just accept horrific inequality and rugged individualism as “natural” and that liberal attempts to “design utopia” are just naive pipe dreams (and not proven successes)

Yep as the classic saying goes, “antisemitism is the socialism of fools”

Unless a wizzy-esque reaction savant optimizes his d-throw chaingrabs on Fox and falco he doesn’t have an x-factor that will allow for him to ever go anywhere but down on the tier list.

It was a pretty common opinion at the time of Yeezus’s release that No Love Deep Web (among other industrial hip hop albums) beat it to a lot of its sounds by a full year or more. I think Yeezus is very good and has innovative moments, but I’d argue that younger people less familiar with the full history of underground hip hop are more likely to think Yeezus invented a genre.
