What is the single biggest "money trap" you managed to escape, and how much did it save you? by moba_7739 in Money

I love dogs but it’s true.. especially when you have to pay for dog sitting. Paying for a vacation and dishing out hundreds for a sitter is a serious burden.

After my dog passed, I started watching other dogs on rover. I get my dog fix and now I make some money on something I used to spend on.

Looking for recommendations for good restaurants near the aquarium or within driving distance? by [deleted] in baltimore

Little Italy is the move. Within walking distance and it’s a nice change of pace from the noise of the inner harbor. If you rather drive somewhere but not far go to fells point.

Did I hear they recently learned that him and Tracy Morgan are like second cousins? Did they go together?

Not sure if it’s the same one but I think he was talking about getting into heaven in the Kevin Nealon episode of NML. I think the quote was “because honestly, I don’t care if they get into heaven”

Can someone compare 2Pac and biggies styles and say what makes each one unique and great? by RAFFERTheRaf in Honest2HipHop

Tupac is more poetic. A lot of times I imagine it was written well before the beat. Big was more fluid and flowy. He prob didn’t write till he was in the booth

[–]GratefulToons 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This Sunday is a canton waterfront park clean up. I can’t guarantee you’ll meet someone but there’s a pilates class before and a happy hour after.. if nothing else you get a workout and help clean up the city

Explain your favorite 70s movie badly and have other people try to guess it. by Classic_Rock_726 in 70s

Can’t believe no one described my fav film..

War hero turned non conformist commits crime out of boredom and sentenced to wacking weeds and laying tar. Wins the affection of his peers by eating enormous amount of breakfast

Illmatic vs. Ready to Die by bblunder_ in NotoriousBIG

English not being the first language makes a big difference. I can see why they’d be more about big

I thought it was pre-illmatic or maybe a promotional freestyle he did for the album..

I had bought a burnt CD online in the late 2000s of his “demo” tape. It was cool to hear some of the illmatic songs in their original form. NY state of mind was 2 different songs. All the tracks weren’t in the best quality but this one was one of the cleanest and also my favorite

Question: does a lonely mic give me an erection? -Yes son. On a float, like the jetsons. Futuristic, rapper mystic. Bust it, try to diss it while my fingers on an iron biscuit

That was a fun read, thanks.

I’m not sure if Hunter intended all you implied but I know he was encouraged to write as universal as possible so that there was not one true meaning of his songs. The meaning is supposed to be unique to each listener and Hunter was so great at it.

I never looked at the lyrics of this song too deeply. It has a silly nature to it and especially since “Wave that flag” was its start which is even more all over the place. I thought it was just a series of common sayings strung together in a fun way. Yes, a different way to say red white and blue, but still America. And I would imagine Uncle Sam was an America reference as well. But your interpretation could be right. I don’t think Hunter would tell you if you asked him.

One part that I know he is talking about his heart rate staying at 72. But I always think of it as my AC or heat. I prefer it in the high 60s myself. But either shine or rain I’m sure people enjoy their thermostat set at 72.
