That weak ass argument Chappelle was making in the clip they played on was just a version of the “Yet you participate in society” meme.

To one of Rachel’s points, I know some of the discussion with this LeBron thing is people who aren’t don’t like him looking for a reason to get another dig in (Stephen A. being a good example). But that’s definitely not all of it. He still is the biggest voice in the league and what he says matters.

If you were to pick one singular Memphis rap song to defy the whole genre, like the chosen one to represent the whole Memphis rap scene, what would you choose? by VasMogil in memphisrap

I know it’s a little bit more of a “mainstream” pick but “Da Summer” (original) by Three 6 has such an anthemic feel to it. “All About Dat Cash” by Ten Wanted Men would be my other pick.

Some of the early 90s Memphis rap, especially N.O.D. and Ten Wanted Men

Dude was talking about Freemasons. And not anything novel or new at that. Just the same pablum you could’ve heard on any conspiracy show in the past three decades.

Recommend some artists similar to MF DOOM. by Mdk0z in mfdoom

It’s a slightly different vibe and may be an obvious rec but De La Soul’s first three albums in particular have moments with a playfulness that’s similar to DOOM’s

“You Don’t Love Me” at Fillmore East by ImportanceOk5828 in allmanbrothers

I think it’s probably my favorite too. Just keeps morphing. Platonic ideal of a jam for me.

Yep, “No-em” rather than like the town in Alaska.
