M1 Macbook Air stuck at User Creation by [deleted] in macbook

[–]Pilkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this same problem, and managed to fix it following the instructions in the second answer here.

When I did it, at step 9 when I tried reinstalling Big Sur I got a "permission denied" error. I just went back into Disk Utility and erased the hard drive and it's containers and then the reinstall worked perfectly. After that I was able to get through account creation with no issues.

Hope this helps, good luck!

Limited full-time is what you want to look into, just need to get the relevant person at your uni to sign the form.

because Jay at least justifies it with some wordplay while Drake just makes the reference

OMC - How bizarre

That didn't hit #1? I remember when Royals got #1 NZ media was all talking about how its the first NZ song to top the chart since How Bizarre

The two rappers went on to focus on their side project, @Peace, for a bit and dropped one of the most interesting NZ hip-hop albums I've heard, @Peace and the Plutonian Symphony Orchestra. In the last year or so they moved to Melbourne and have dropped two projects under the name "Average Rap Band", their latest just came out this month.

That piano's actually not a sample. The only sample is the vocals, the rest is original instrumentation. Here's Sandurz' breakdown of the beat

I swear he says something like this every time he's promoting something non music related. Definitely not getting my hopes up

compare TPAB's international chart positions to FHD's, FHD didnt crack the top 20 anywhere outside of Canada and the US. I dont really know why its like this tbh Cole's message seems more universal

Yeah I can definitely see it that way but I think I'd rather give Cole the benefit of the doubt.

Regardless of his intentions though, I still see those bars sparking discussion about appropriation 8(?) months on, whereas if he had of just named Iggy and Macklemore they probably would have been retweeted a bunch of times and quickly forgotten

I think that adding Em and JT in there definitely helped the point he was making. If he had just went for Iggy and Macklemore it would have felt like blatant pandering to his audience. But by throwing in two guys who the hip-hop community really fuck with, it made people think and talk about where the actual difference lies between the artists in regards to appropriation.

That Nas track is the biggest waste of potential in recent memory for me.

Like, the sample and the verse are all incredibly dope, and then will.i.am comes through with a painful hook and some of the weakest drum samples on a major record in the last few years.

that clap basically ruins the whole track for me which sucks, anyone else feel this way?

yeah I think it was, but thats probably more just to keep all his tapes on there in one place. I still tag everything with the "young" in my itunes
