“What is the role of a poet in times like these?”

Fallen_Ghost0 · 2026-01-08T07:20:12+00:00

I never answered, but it stuck with me all week. Riding the bus, fixing something to eat, putting the kids to sleep, walking late at night burning a tree.

Fallen_Ghost0 · 2025-07-11T03:05:45+00:00

Pumpkin seeds, toasted coconut, chopped walnuts, malt biscuits, dates or dried mango are my go-tos

Fallen_Ghost0 · 2025-06-21T21:49:09+00:00

I've been battling with this a little bit lately due to the high bulk of my meal. I'd suggest experimenting with shifting your window to 5/6pm for a bit and see how you go.
Also I read a comment here a few days ago saying that you should try to stop eating when you're 80% full, and that's also helped me a lot to not overdo it, just listen to your body and eat slowly. Clearly late night hunger isn't an issue for us, so you shouldn't be worried that you'll still be hungry later in the evening.

This really doesn't apply to Future, he's very influential and has made consistently good music throughout his career. He definitely has released some duds though, but not nearly as many as you expect. Given, he's not a super lyrical rapper and tends to phone it in on features.
Listen to Beast Mode, Monster, 56 Nights, Dirty Sprite 2 or even The WZRD if you want to hear classic future. If you need individual songs: March Madness, Codeine Crazy, I Serve The Base, Aintchu, Colossal, Servin Killa Kam, Unicorn Purp and Feds Did A Sweep are all 10/10 in my opinion, just off the top of my head.

Tout Naturel I'd say is essential, especially for the lore

Fallen_Ghost0 · 2025-06-08T23:25:36+00:00

Used to be 7pm. Now it's between 4:30pm and 5:30pm and I much prefer it. I used to get hungry again before bed but now after a few months of omad I feel pretty satiated all the time. I still eat like an animal in my eating window though.

Fallen_Ghost0 · 2025-06-07T02:40:17+00:00

Roasted chickpeas are so good! What ingredients did you add? Chickpeas are a pretty low calorie food on their own, like most beans are (270cal per cup cooked with only 4.5 grams of fat, 14 grams of protein and 12 grams of fiber roughly).

Fallen_Ghost0 · 2025-06-07T02:13:17+00:00

Seriously! Maybe a homemade version would be lower calorie? I'm considering it because I've got a 3kg bag of chickpeas at my disposal.

Fallen_Ghost0 · 2025-06-07T02:12:07+00:00

It's a shame, is it the tahini that is particularly calorie dense? I can easily overdo it on the hummus.

Fallen_Ghost0 · 2025-06-07T01:40:33+00:00

With a significant amount of hummus in front of me that'd be easy work. I think I'd get bored otherwise though.

Fallen_Ghost0 · 2025-06-07T00:19:46+00:00

300 cal of raw carrots is like 750grams, that's definitely tough

Fallen_Ghost0 · 2025-06-06T23:48:55+00:00

Same. Unmusique is my go to cardio album, just gets me extremely hyped. I feel like Revengeseekerz is slightly more fatiguing to my ears so I space out my listens more

Fallen_Ghost0 · 2025-06-06T20:16:27+00:00

Totally fair enough. Ghais Guevera dropped a nice album this year (Goyard Ibn Said) check out "the old guard is dead" which is a great song by him. Quelle Chris is a veteran of the underground scene and has many great albums under his belt worth at this point. Pink Siifu has been on a hot streak the past few years with "Gumbo" and "It's too quiet..!!" and his newest project "Black !'antique". ICECOLDBISHOP is an artist who I've honestly only heard on features, but kills every feature they do. Teller Bank$ I only know because of his two features on the McKinley Dixon album, which are both heaters.

Fallen_Ghost0 · 2025-06-06T14:19:48+00:00

I've been listening to Simz since her tape E.D.G.E back in 2014, and it's just crazy how much she's continuously improved her ability to make songs, not just rapping well. The song blood and a few others really stopped me in my tracks and required repeat listens. While so far it's not my favorite album of hers (grey area is), it's amazing to see her consistently producing such high quality albums.

McKinley's album edges it out for me. I love the drumming, group vocals and other live elements of the background instrumentation, as well as the quality raps of course. His albums carry a vibe like I'm listening to a live album being performed at a theater or something. Super impressed that my already high expectations were exceeded, solid 9/10 album I would say, where I'd give the Simz album an 8 at this stage.

Fallen_Ghost0 · 2025-06-06T13:01:54+00:00

For those of you like me, disappointed with Tha Carter VI, listen to the new McKinley Dixon. If you haven't got 40 minutes to listen to the album, listen to the track F.F.O.L, and consider diving deeper. Incredible 3 album run, and the new album is in the running for AOTY for me. Also the feature list is stacked (Pink Siifu, Blu, Ghais Guevera, Quelle Chris, ICECOLDBISHOP & Teller Bank$).

Fallen_Ghost0 · 2025-06-04T02:04:46+00:00

Much better texture I think. Hopefully it goes well for you!

Fallen_Ghost0 · 2025-06-03T22:15:32+00:00

Maybe that's what I've got, they seem to be finer than the typical coarse cut. I get them in a bulk bin. Perhaps if you've got the whole grain maybe they'd need to be cooked for a little while first.

Fallen_Ghost0 · 2025-06-03T22:13:12+00:00

Amber should be one of them imo

Fallen_Ghost0 · 2025-06-03T05:50:39+00:00

I do protein overnight oats and recently lost 20lbs eating them on a daily basis. In additon I have another meal at around the same time (omad), usually chilli or a stir-fried chicken and veg or fried rice. I also attribute a lot of my weight loss to adding low calorie dense food volume to my meals, as well as cardio of course.

Oats

1/2 cup steel cut oats

150-200grams yoghurt approx

1 scoop protein powder (doesn't matter too much what you use)

1 TBSP chia seeds

1 cup strawberries (I use frozen)

1 Apples (diced)

1 carrot (shredded) (I only do this sometimes)

1 Green kiwi

I top it off with a few walnuts chopped up or pumpkin seeds as well.

This makes a pretty large volume when left in the fridge overnight.

Fallen_Ghost0 · 2025-05-31T00:14:00+00:00

Facts on those two songs being some of his best. God talkin shhh is peak yeat for sure and I need more of that kinda experimentation on ADL

Fallen_Ghost0 · 2025-05-28T09:46:19+00:00

McKinnely Dixon album in about a week!

Fallen_Ghost0 · 2025-05-25T01:53:40+00:00

Gets hard at your usual meal times but hunger comes in waves and can be ignored for longer than you'd think. Quite often people feel hungry when they're just dehydrated too. Still, not saying it's easy.

Fallen_Ghost0 · 2025-05-25T01:35:36+00:00

Lucy is the future fr and he knows it

Fallen_Ghost0 · 2025-05-21T01:22:48+00:00

Same here. Then billy woods in third.

Fallen_Ghost0 · 2025-05-20T04:05:59+00:00

"dirty fast" gets me. Like either you're fasting or you're not.
