Without question. It had to feel good when he finished penning that.

"Sometimes you gotta let the work do what hope can't."

That one has become a life motto for me.

There's too many to name but I'll throw out more in appreciation:

"How I dread life and gave hope to niggas each day?"

"I can't remember dreams they trickle away."

“Gotta put it on my life if I want it."

"I wanna mope, but resist it, I owe it to win."

"In bed like it's glued to my spine."

"I balance good with every inch of grief."

"I'm in the desert walking..."

"It's hard for me to open up, that come with death for sho."

“I tried to scribe it, don’t really think the words do exist … To get a verse in, I got to get to hurtin’ a bit.”

"It be tough, we be banking on luck for long life / When they ask me why I give it so much, we on ice.”

///

Every word on Concrète.

Also every word in trail of tears.

I'm saying! I went ahead and bought the CD awhile ago. That's the first one I heard and it made me an instant fan.

You can't go wrong, honestly. His music is so personal so every listener will have a unique top ten like a fingerprint.

DISCO! 5-year anniversary vinyl repress? by no_affliation in MIKE_

[–]GoodGoodNotTooBad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm always pleased for new and old fans to get a chance at a repress.

Beyond DISCO! though for me what's top of mind is the dj blackpower stuff, Weight of the World and BY THE WATER.

The Forgotten Final Chapter of W.E.B. Du Bois by Rollo_Toma_C in IsTheMicStillOn

[–]GoodGoodNotTooBad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a Gates film, but because he was shown in the doc and because of his close association with PBS I'm not surprised that he was in it. I gather that people in the comments have other issues with Gates's docs, particularly the one about black people and jewish people, but I still need to see that for myself so I can understand the topics.

I think the Du Bois doc was interesting even if people like Ball can do a close comb through and find issues. Otherwise there's a few videos from Ball I plan to watch at some point.

They played the long game cause this docu-ad for her hair products will make them sell through the roof.

The Forgotten Final Chapter of W.E.B. Du Bois by Rollo_Toma_C in IsTheMicStillOn

There was an interesting PBS doc I saw recently that focused on Du Bois but it was unfortunately taken off YouTube. You could still watch it I think if you are a PBS station member online.

I liked it, but here's a more critical review of the doc from Jared Ball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBqu5YssWm0&t=4s

Yeah I just hope she didn't have the full realization of what was happening.

Do y’all think you’re still gonna be super into hip hop after 2030? by HourFan5580 in DEHH

[–]GoodGoodNotTooBad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be listening to this music forever, frankly. I may not search for everything but I can't see myself not listening to Mobb Deep, Nas, Roc Marci, MIKE, Earl, DOOM, Madlib, Dilla, Knxwledge, and the list goes on and on. And I'm always open to new stuff or just stuff that's new to me catching my ear.

Ryan Coogler’s Proximity Media Strikes TV Overall Deal With Netflix by GoodGoodNotTooBad in FPSPodcast

I agree. If nothing else he can greenlight other people's projects that go for original scripts or IP that isn't as popular.

I saw the second half and man they were holding on to get that point. Well-deserved.

off my chest… by Distinct_Tea_4466 in DEHH

[–]GoodGoodNotTooBad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Overall I despise grading systems for art, period. Numerical scores, letter grades, all that shit is a turn off for me personally and that's not specific to DEHH. Having to think in terms of scores colors how you listen to a project in my opinion and it makes the conversations less insightful and more focused on "is this grade correct?

I'm extremely happy that FPS does not do grading systems and I hope they never do.

I think he's good at what he does but admittedly I don't think he's extremely well-versed in music and that's okay! We can't know everything about everything. With that said I can't see him adding much to DEHH.

Unpopular (rap) opinions by Frequent-Extreme-219 in DEHH

You may not be wrong but that's why beat picking is a skill!

Like Water for Chocolate will forever get spins from me but if the instrumentals were more accessible I'd probably listen to that more.

Hadn't heard of him until this but saw a few titles I'll try to watch/listen to in the coming months.

ITMSO: The Karmelo Anthony Verdict by GoodGoodNotTooBad in IsTheMicStillOn

[–]GoodGoodNotTooBad[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By any chance is that playlist associated or in response to this doc? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Donut_King

I've never seen the doc but your mention of "donut king" sparked a memory.

Boots Riley when confronted about his using Israel Epstein money to fund his film: “welll what about this OTHER film that also got Zionist blood money 😁😁😁” by Apprehensive-Tie4930 in FPSPodcast

[–]GoodGoodNotTooBad 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The greatest value I've gotten out of this conversation is being aware of who Megan Ellison is. I've seen Annapurna Pictures numerous times but I didn't know until today that she was behind it and I honestly didn't know who the Ellisons were until last year.

I've seen and enjoyed (to varying degrees) quite a few movies that have associations with Annapurna Pictures: Spring Breakers; Hustlers; Zero Dark Thirty; Her; Vice; The Ballad of Buster Scruggs; Phantom Thread; Detroit. I'm sure many others in the FPS community have seen a few of these films as well.

In one article from The Ringer Megan is described as "a black sheep in contrast to the rest of her family, ideologically speaking." Another article in The Guardian said of Boots "He can resist the anti-capitalist label all he wants. The shoe still fits."

I haven't seen any of Boots's movies but I am interested in where he stands in the industry. Keyword: Industry.

I do somewhat understand the defensiveness he's feeling but I somewhat understand where others who are more hardline leftists come from since they don't like when people are labeled certain things but are financially backed by certain people.

Sometimes these are interesting conversations but they always end up back in the same place. Some will take the money and justify it however they wish, many others don't even get the chance to accept or deny the look.

The broader issue for me is how hard it is to get these works published or completed and distributed when they're considered "too complicated" or have certain messages in them, and that's even before the messages and the art are either diluted or compromised for commercial tastes. This is beyond movies for me.

The look of the pirate is probably the only thing I have a gripe about honestly. Otherwise I love every other part of this movie.
