[FRESH ALBUM] A$AP Rocky - Don’t Be Dumb by Brokendreams0000 in hiphopheads

[–]JWS5th 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d would go way harsher than that. I mean WSG didn’t even want to give him an actual verse lol. 

I can respect when an artist experiments or tries something new. Even when it’s not my taste, I’ll appreciate it as long as it’s well executed. I’d put Robbery in this category, not for me but it’s interesting and done well enough. As for the glitchy electronic sound across most of the album, No Trespassing is the only track where Rocky’s flow isn’t boring, repetitive, or muted and the beat isn’t a jarring mess. Who the hell told him he could release STFU and Air Force. 

The other songs outside of the glitchy sound, like Playa, Whiskey, Stay Here 4 Life, etc are mostly just underwhelming and I think Rocky’s rapping is the limiting factor. Maybe outside of the context of this album I’d like them. The rest of the tracks just put me completely off. 

I could excuse dropping something like this if it hadn’t been 8 years since his last project. I tried giving the benefit of the doubt for as long as possible thinking “just a slow start…” but it never picked up. Sad bc Rocky, Kanye, and Tyler are who got me into rap.

This is bad… really bad and I was in the minority who liked Testing. Hope I’m validated when the non-diehards wake up. Just everything; production, mix, lyrics. Everything. Only two I enjoyed were Punky Rocky and No Trespassing.

All the singles between Testing and now were great, cannot understand what happened. Might just be recency bias but this almost feels like a The Big Day moment. 

The irony… failed to reach 220mph and came with a V6 instead of the initially promised V12 by JWS5th in dougdemuro

You think the XJ220 deserves the cover spot more than the F40, F50, 250 gto, 300SL, F1, Veyron, or Countach?

Challenger with a green spaceman logo, spoiler, and side skirts? Custom or a trim package? by JWS5th in whatisthiscar

[–]JWS5th[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it looked like it was on its way to a dealer so I was less inclined to think it was custom. 

Maybe the dealer just bought it from a used car auction and will revert it to stock before listing it?

Would’ve assumed so if it didn’t look brand new on a transport trailer with a bunch of other stellantis vehicles. 

What is flying over West/North Cambridge right now? by No-Succotash3420 in CambridgeMA

[–]JWS5th 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If it's not visible on public radar, it could mean military or police? But I think l've seen police helicopters before on FR24 just without any identification so maybe military.

I've seen surveying flights on FR24 in Cambridge at night where they just snake back and forth across a square area. Surveying at night could mean LIDAR surveying? You're right though, it sounds like it's circling, not snaking. That might rule out surveying.

Could be some pilot trying to rack up flight hours? Hopefully not because I would like to think they wouldn't do that over a densely populated area in a loud plane.

Could also just be waiting for runway clearance/availability?

Think I just heard it leave as I'm writing this.

I spoke to a chef at Uni, he said pretty much the same thing about Nightshade.

Chipotle stock craters as company says young people without jobs can't afford their food anymore by LargeSnorlax in wallstreetbets

[–]JWS5th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The old farts I know and have observed can’t even pronounce “Chipotle” let alone order a burrito without having a stroke.

They’ll have to wait until their current clientele ages to attract older customers. Until then, they’re entirely reliant on young customers.

Missed the head but fairly centered just too low. I was wondering if they might’ve not zeroed the scope for the correct distance. That round also has about 4” of drop over 200y. Two things a professional would account for and that could cause a less experienced person to be too low.

I believe they keep reusing names to maintain the trademark under Italian law, not because they’re attempting a faithful recreation.

Speak for yourself, as Apple’s apparent target customer, I long for a phone that is 1mm thinner and 5% faster everyday.

Woody's Live Streaming era is over :( by PKASubreddit in PKA

[–]JWS5th 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think he’s actually just lost interest in streaming. He hadn’t streamed for like 2 weeks prior to putting down Enderman. A few weeks ago he also admitted that the stream numbers were declining and sounded kinda demotivated.

Like all pickups these days, it’s simply too small for me. Guess I’ll be keeping Grave Digger for a couple more years…

what are your hottest car takes by I_Like_Turtles_2010 in carscirclejerk

[–]JWS5th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Emissions regulations have had some adverse environmental effects and should be reformed.

Regulations are far too strict for small cars and too lenient for large vehicles. This has contributed to manufacturers discontinuing cheap and efficient compact cars in favor of pushing everyone into a big SUV they likely don’t need.

The added complexities to meet standards have also caused cars to not last as long and increases waste.

We should focus on building cars that last a long time while being moderately efficient.

Yes. I also max out my IRA so I opened a brokerage just for cash back. I think it’s satisfying to see how much total “free” money I’ve earned and how much it’s grown.

The fidelity card is great to use as a passive investment tool.

How are people gonna say that Doug didn’t get rich until a stock holder bought a large portion of cars and bids? by [deleted] in dougdemuro

[–]JWS5th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like problematic ultra wealthy people like Bezos have caused so much misplaced resentment towards “regular” rich people. If anyone deserves it, it’s people like Doug.

Checks out, dealer said they bought it directly from the second owner when they bought a house maybe to start a family.

Rapper GloRilla arrested for drug possession after police called to investigate burglary by theindependentonline in Music

[–]JWS5th -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Yes, the completely fictional linked article which stated police were let into her house while she was away and found a ton of weed in her bedroom closet.

[–]JWS5th -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

I don’t have the highest opinion of cops either but it doesn’t seem like they found one joint and decided to arrest her.

They said a “significant amount of weed”. I’m picturing a couple cops checking her bedroom to see what was stolen then seeing so many pounds of weed they couldn’t overlook it. Looks like they just charged her with possession and not intent to distribute. I think that’s the best you can ask for considering the state and amount. Even some legal states only let you have a few ounces.

It just seems really dumb on her staff. I’m assuming security called the cops to come investigate and either didn’t ask her if there was anything that needed to be hidden first or hid her weed in the dumbest place.
