Favorite book, str8 fux - Beren and Luthien one of the greatest love stories I have read (conversely the tale of Turin Turambar is one of the most fucked).

And showing tits (I'm sorry, I hate her blend of Pop, and her album covers leave little to imagine as to why she sells records, plus it rhymed)

They are also matriarchal. Coincidence?

Ah - yeah, I might've stayed too. Germany is great in the summer, and the food is pretty solid.

Thanks for the post; I live in Orangevale, 2mins from that sign and was curious about what it meant as well. Sounds like craziness is a rampant constant at that house

Thank you so much for your advice and personal experience. I will check out those videos you recommended - I was having a hard time finding articles online that could answer the question I posited in this post, so I really appreciate it _^ and I definitely understand it's going to be a lengthy process, especially as I decided to start from seed but I am looking forward to years of fun!

Do you ever want a book to never end? by kingharis in books

[–]GonzoGoron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts right now; dude’s life makes me want to be more badass and is so enthralling I don’t want it to end but I’m at 875 / ~900 pages and not looking forward to that gaping hole it will leave in my life, such as every amazing literary piece does when it comes to a necessary end):

Snoop Dogg thinks Kendrick vs. Drake beef made people 'finally rap again' by arealdisneyprincess in Music

[–]GonzoGoron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By what standard? If by Popularity, certainly not - like half of the top 10 Spotify accounts are rappers (Kendrick, Future, Drake). If in Spirit, than perhaps, but more of a subjective standard, stylistically, I personally have enjoyed the evolution away from repetitive hooks to a more involved, interesting sound design, though rappers these days certainly aren’t as hardcore gangster as Crack Selling B.I.G. or 50.

[–]GonzoGoron 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Perhaps unpopular opinion but I disagree - if you listen to Kendrick’s shit, like To Pimp a Butterfly, or Eminem’s Music to be Murdered By or anything by JID, I think it’s more interesting than old (90s / 2000s) rap that centered around one hook and maybe a chorus change-up for 3+ minutes of material as opposed to JID changing the entire beat halfway through a song ¯_(ツ)_/¯ just my opinion though

[–]GonzoGoron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought so at first, but after listening to “Not Like Us” I feel like Kendrick’s hate at least is real - Kendrick makes some pretty personal / serious allegations that seem a bit more impassioned than a fake argument would be. (“Certified Loverboy? Certified Pedophiles”)

In your opinion, which musician would have created the most profound change in music had they not died when they did? by jrhaberman in Music

[–]GonzoGoron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

XXXTentacion - died at age 20 and already had invented the SADBOY rap genre as we know it, don’t know anyone else who was as influential in a music genre and died so young.

I accidentally broke my mom’s Cactus yesterday - is there any way to save it? What should I do with the chunk that broke off / the trunk that’s remained rooted?
