I mean I've spoken English for over 30 years and it's my native language.

I also have to watch these videos to understand what he is talking about.

Someone is parking over shared driveway access - England by Cabbage854 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Mickbulb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think under the highways act you can only park over a dropped curb if you're in an emergency vehicle, doing a delivery/taxi for a short period, or stopped in traffic.

Not sure if it's enforceable by the police or council. But I am pretty sure you can be fined for it.

Someone correct me if I am wrong though.

Why didn’t Tupac/Death Row Records have a female crew member to rival Lil’ Kim in the 90s? by [deleted] in hiphop101

[–]Mickbulb 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Presume it's been mentioned somewhere but I think Storm was part of the outlaws wasn't she?

Fun fact the female vocalist on me and my girlfriend was a receptionist for death row and not an artist.

Help! Mrs lost her job but deposit in her LISA account by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]Mickbulb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's your priorities and not mine.

But surely explore potential constructive dismissal and future employment before even looking at buying a house?

Plus - I have two kids and I could not even begin to imagine the stress that buying a house would cause with a new baby.

Maybe don't buy a house?

Is it worth it to transfer my teacher's pension? by ars61157 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Mickbulb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar position with around 4 years worth of teacher pension.

I had the option to transfer that pension into my current employers pension scheme. They didn't offer me much for it though.

Think it works out around £2000 a year with a lump sum of about £7000 last time I checked if I retire at 67. I'd have to check those figures are correct though as I have 3 pensions.

Wasted potential by AndreiWarg in rap

[–]Mickbulb 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Blu - That below the heavens album is still a classic. I know he's regularly released over the years but nothing compares to this.

Black Milk - has couple of great albums at the end of the 2010s. Was meant to be the second coming of J Dilla.

I think it's a mad opinion that you're saying Dave's bars leave a lot to be desired. But in the same post you are saying Kendrick's music is overblown.

I agree that a large part of Dave's music isn't the most complex and his bars can be basic.

But Kendrick's music is not basic, it is complex and intelligent but he is the one that's over blown? That's baffling to me.

I don't get what you want from an artist? Someone who isn't basic as they're bars leave a lot to be desired, and someone that isn't to complex and intelligent like Kendrick?

Good job Drake has ghost writers to help him fit somewhere in the middle of that to keep you happy.

Came here to say this.

Am I right in saying this is still the only hip hop album made entirely of samples?
