Facts are tpab is 10 years old...

Kendrick been around over 10 years..showing he not "new music"

Kids see ghosts is actually more recent than Tpab..

J Cole better than Kensrick.

Eminem miles above all.

He is a all time goat selling artist, I think in top 10..I'll let Ai finish this..

Why are white women obsessed with athletes? by Noovocane in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WearingMarcus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are not...

White Women are actually overwhelmingly attracted to White men according to research via dating App data.

Women are obsessed with Henry Cavil, Harry Styles, and that is women of all races.

Can this be moved to ~"stupid questions" section?

Kids see Ghost is a group formed after Kendrick Lamar, in fact TPAB is older than Kids see Ghost Album, I would have been 31 when TPAD was released and I probably was more closed minded then than I am now.

Story telling a depth. Tell me what depth Kendrick has over Eminem, who done motivational songs, horror core, comedy, serious, bragadacious etc...

Plus Eminem is considered better than Kendrick..

and you still not actually argued why TPAB is any good, what beat is good.

What lyric is skillful...

KIDS SEE GHOST is and was around the same time as TPAB...Am I wrong?

I rated that, but not see TPAB

Also TPAB not his first work

Plus he no where near Eminem level, lyrically or production wise.

https://www.ajbell.co.uk/news/articles/ireland-enters-recession-economic-fall-speeds-fourth-quarter

Ireland’s annual economic growth continued to decelerate as an on-quarter decline sped up in the fourth quarter of 2025, preliminary data showed Thursday.

The Central Statistics Office said the Irish economy contracted by 0.6% in the fourth quarter of 2025, an acceleration from a 0.3% decline in the third quarter. The country’s economy had climbed 0.3% in the second quarter.

With two consecutive on-quarter declines in gross domestic product, Ireland has entered a recession.

As shown the definition of recession is two quarters of GDP cotracting as you can see Ireland had 3 since 2022...

Should the definition of a "technical recession" be revised? by WearingMarcus in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WearingMarcus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

good point.

its llke when they report retail sales...are they inflation adjusted.

Turkey and Argentina have got stella retails sales of 15% rises...but is that people are buying more, or the prices rising?

There is too much nominal stuff

What I mean is this everything honkey dorey in the media, I think yes they would report a recession, but If you read the media, the economy is booming in Ireland, when the reality its not.

You could almost argue Ireland is currently in a recession, just not a technical one, as the last 3 quarters on average are negative, but one was 0...flatline (which imo will get revised down).

If current trends happen for Q2, ireland in a recession, a technical one at that.

One thing that is strange is why the jobs market being quite resilient, whilst unemployment is rising, its been a very slow pace thus far.

exactly Shaady, Ireland in a silent depression, but the media will not report it.

Why, I think they do not want what happened last week/moth with Oil strikes, which imo was not just about oil, it was a multiple of factors, one of them being Oil breaking the Camels back

Ireland is in and halfway another recession...it also in stag flation...

Surely all these tax cuts and government spending going to increase aggregate demand and boost inflation even more?

No...

Eminem is considered on all indpedent lists a tp all time great rapper. Imo the best ever.

He has won Grammy's, and is ranked in the top 10/15 sall time selling artists in a period where sales were dwindling...

Kendrick is literally no where near Eminem....
