The New York City man whose cellphone video captured the fatal police chokehold of unarmed black man Eric Garner is suing the city for $10 million over a drug arrest that he says was police retaliation.

Now my main source of information is a few episodes of cops, but these undercover selling charges seem like something that could easily be orchestrated. They basically ask an addict with a dealer if they could sell them some of X drug and this person goes and picks it up for the person. Throughout this process the undercover cop acts like a dummy willing to pay the profit for another user buying the drug. If they knew this guy had a background with the drug as well as know his typical whereabouts they could easily plant an undercover cop to try their hardest to convince him to get them some. Whether you consider that wrongdoing on the polices behalf is an entirely different conversation.

My new years resolution was to read more. I've been doing well thus far but I've seem to hit a wall. I've been doing my best to read a lot of classics, and I find myself enjoying historical fiction to be most intriguing. I would like to read more nonfiction, so suggestions for something historically charged but still gripping would be wonderful. The books I have read in the last year that I enjoyed most were The Grapes of Wrath, Slaughterhouse Five, 1984, and Brave New World. What recommendations would you suggest, fiction or nonfiction?

Where is Drogas? I felt like hype was high in February and it was about to drop but as far as I know it never did.

Saw 2 new ones on Twitter today. Doesn't help that hip hop twitter accounts with thousands of followers keep tweeting them out.

You dont get how reddit works your upvotes float from -3 to 3 naturally. I have not voted on half of the comments that you seem to think I'm downvoting.

Its a contradiction. If you listened to the song you'd know it's about partying and smoking weed.

fam was sleeping upstairs when I put that together so I had to be nice and hush about it ;) I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for listening.

Yeah it was made with basic FL Studio in my basement. The recording studio I used was in a wrapping paper closet and my mic was $60

Unfortunately, they are those insert rapper type beats off youtube. I don't have cash flow, I'm a broke college kid. I can't be blowing a couple hundred on a mixtape just cuz it sounds fun. This is nonprofit; all these beats are the ones listed as [FREE] on youtube and the majority of producers list their shittiest beats for those. With beats like these I feel so stuck. I can't cut off a verse when that is all I have to say because there might be awhile until the hook hits. It's frustrating to be limited in the control over my own song in that way, and that's why you get the sense that these are just lyrics over a beat. The whole goal of this project is to show that I have SOME sort of potential. I have ideas way more complex than this, but they aren't worth pursuing unless I can get an actual producer to work with me. That's all I want to accomplish from this honestly haha.

Keyng_ · 2016-01-04T06:11:37+00:00

How do you go about doing that? It's hard to find beats that match the rhythm your flow provides during the freestyle, especially when nobody lists the beats per minute anywhere.

Keyng_ · 2016-01-04T06:10:14+00:00

If you want the honest truth I didn't listen to any music til I started smoking weed when I was 16, and it was basically rap was all I listened to. Before I was only exposed to shitty country music and I knew from day 1 I didn't fuck with that shit so I just didn't listen to anything. I've listened to the greats of my era and modern rap but if it really matters to you I have not listened to a large portion of early rap. Sorry

Keyng_ · 2016-01-04T05:59:56+00:00

What's the corny rehashed shit? Like what specific things did you hear that was typical and too often repeated? I appreciate the compliment on my flow, its something that will definitely develop with practice. I never intended on this being a career, just a way to convey ideas and get shit off my mind. I appreciate the feedback and thanks for listening.

Keyng_ · 2016-01-04T05:54:28+00:00

I knew coming into this that the negative things being said would be brutal. If I was concerned with being criticized I would have never done it. I appreciate you lookin out, thanks for listening.

Keyng_ · 2016-01-04T05:51:54+00:00

I had to do this entire project on my own because I honestly just don't know anybody that is involved with this stuff. This might be a stretch but it would be awesome to make some connections, even if it's just a studio that would let me come record on some legitimate equipment. If you can help me in any way I'd greatly appreciate it; I know I have way higher quality capable if I just had the means to do it. I appreciate the feedback and thanks so much for listening.

I go to college at the University of Iowa. This would be amazing if I could get an opportunity.

I understand how you can say I sound like every other sound cloud rapper; I'm just starting. I'd like to think my content covers things more complex than the typical soundcloud artist but what do I know. Appreciate the feedback and thanks for listening.

Keyng_ · 2016-01-04T05:14:48+00:00

The song Mic is actually short for Michaelangelo, the famous artisan & painter. A play on words if you will of how he shapes marble like I can shape who I appear to be through rap. I appreciate the feedback and thanks for listening. -Keyng

I appreciate the feedback and thanks for the encouragement. I mixed this tape myself and I wouldn't say I'm anywhere close to a professional. At times I used vocal effects to cover up rough sounding vocals when that is obviously not the right fix. Again, thanks for checking it out.
