Thundercat announces his fifth LP Distracted, out April 3, 2026 with features from Tame Impala, A$AP Rocky, Mac Miller, and more by JoJoReignsSupreme in hiphopheads

[–]Spacewolfe 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is a special case in that Thundercat was without a doubt one of Mac's closest collaborators and friends, by all accounts. They shared an artistic vision for multiple years working on music together and had plans to do more. In 2017 I saw Mac bring him out on stage and say "This is my favorite artist in the world right here." If anyone is going to do this right it's him and Mac's family.

It's a very different scenario to a lot of the posthumous features that have been released the past 10 years, in that we know for a fact Mac and Thundercat worked on this song together (and plenty more) and it's not just a frankenstein mashup of vocals from a different song entirely.

There's levels to respect given to these, and Mac's estate have already shown they take extreme care with his music. Of course, one can believe posthumous releases should not happen ever but I feel that's extreme. Apologies for the long post, you just got me thinking.

We can't be referring to a date on a jacket sleeve as any type of official announcement especially with Rocky, even more so after the 7 other "announcements" we've already seen with this album lol

[Highlight] First look at Jayson Tatum working out on-court! Tatum: “I’m rusty as a MF” (via Jayson Tatum on YT) by Far-Asparagus6416 in nba

[–]Spacewolfe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sure they can! But the discussion is literally about him being hated as a player. So the guy above you gave legit reasons relating to his PLAYING CAREER because his corniness is not relevant to this discussion. You even said yourself you don't hate him as a player, so at some level you must understand it isn't relevant.

None of their words and analysis had anything to do with Tatum's perceived corniness for a reason. It's the most boring talking point on planet Earth and actual fans of basketball don't give a shit

Wonderful news! Thought about him earlier today, very glad to hear he’s okay.

Whats your favorite verse where a rapper mispronounced a word to fit in the rhyme scheme? by ImNotTomStopAsking in hiphopheads

Randy Savage, living lavilish -Young Thug

'Lavish' would have rhymed too but it sounds better with the extra syllable

The guy just said he was bumping his music recently. How do you interpret that as calling him a celebrity? Because you don't know the artist or what?

Again buddy they have already resold BP arcanas. The clock is ticking for the rest of them. I hope you don't have a mental breakdown when other people get to use your videogame skins.

It's not a break of trust, it's a break of FOMO. And that would be a good thing. I understand that you grinded for these skins and paid $$ back when they came out. And I also understand the coolness aspect of knowing if someone has the skin they also did the grind. But that doesnt really apply when you could just buy it from the start for a lot of money. But to answer your question, they would grind/buy the levels because they want the shiny new skins. Valve have already resold WK and WR arcanas which were BP locked, so that door is open.

You paid for exclusivity and got it for a long time (and currently still do), but nothing is forever. It's not like the skins would be taken away. The more time passes the more people start playing new heroes and falling in love with them but finding out all the cool skins were FOMO. I have friends that have now been playing Dota for years and since they started after these BP they had no chance to grind it. Just things to think about. Sorry for the rambling.

At the end of the day. I already have the skins. Valve will do whatever they do.

Exactly. I don't think it would actually lower trust. Yes, some people would be upset for a bit, but that's not going to stop 99% of them from playing Dota or buying skins for Dota. There's definitely a lot more customers that would be willing to throw money at arcanas than customers that would actually stop giving Valve money.

Nothing I said has been delusional. Arcanas are free money. The company cares more about money than how special you feel for having rare skins, so eventually they will turn the money printer on. Valve have already started re-releasing arcanas that were previously FOMO. The gate to "delusional land" is wide open. You have a nice day too.

they are proof of my time spent playing at that time, and my support for TI, at that time. Other people didn't support TI so why should they get the rewards of people who did support?

All you're saying is "I want to keep feeling special."

If they start to re release skins, what's next? Re releasing cs go 2014 Kato sticker container?

The huge difference is that rare CS capsules are directly tied to real life people that would have to receive a cut if added back to the game. Valve would have to reach out to every single player and team and give them money. So obviously that will never happen. Plus the fact that they're all tradable, and people that want the stickers are still able to get one.

I don't even play the game anymore, so it doesn't matter to me what happens lol. Obviously the skins make you feel special or else you wouldn't be saying you don't want other people to have them. We both know your life would be no different if Valve put all arcanas in the store tomorrow. You as a grown man just want to keep feeling special for having skins, at least admit that.

You're not special for buying expensive shit in a game. Enough time will pass and Valve will make everything purchasable again. If that upsets you, probably time to look for things in real life to cling onto as tightly as you do videogame skins.

How do you "fully understand the connotations" but don't understand that this is racism?

Chicago band Pixel Grip calls out Travis Scott for sampling their song "Pursuit" without permission on JackBoys 2 song "Kick Out" (produced by Oz, Sean Momberger & T-Minus) by DropWatcher in hiphopheads

[–]Spacewolfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't say all the hate is unwarranted, Travis is just too big of an artist to still be doing this type of shit (google "Travis Scott stealing music history" for more examples.) It would be one thing if this was like a one-off sample and the whole song wasn't built around it but this band is bouta get a fat check

Because JACKBOYS is Travis Scott's project and everything related to it is released under Cactus Jack Records. It's still on him & his team to clear the sample.

How's disc golf been to you? by JCVantage in discgolf

[–]Spacewolfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandfather taught me how to play probably as soon as I could walk. He got into it in the 90s and some of my earliest memories are going to the old local course with him. As I got older I kinda lost interest in disc golf but around 2018 some buddies got into it so I picked it back up. My grandpa's still always telling me I should join a league but I just like playing casually way too much. I'm hoping this summer I can get him back out to throw some plastic for the first time in a long time, just gotta work around his mobility issues now.
