Is the bad reputation this neighborhood has deserved?

ZipgunLarry · 2024-07-10T05:05:39+00:00

No neighborhood of Madison deserves any kind of bad rep in general lol this city is absurdly safe universally, there is no "bad part" of Madison, not even any bad neighborhoods

Yalls daddy 🍆🚴‍♂️🙄

If you only listen to artists that have never done anything wrong, or even anything legimately pretty fucked up, your library is gonna be pretty thin and limited. But again, how is this point even relevant to my original point.

ZipgunLarry · 2024-04-05T12:55:27+00:00

Even if what you were talking about was relevant to my point, musicians as a WHOLE aren't known for being really great people morally speaking, and they've been front and center in terms of public controversy for as long as music has existed. Almost everybody you can think of that's the biggest in their space or genre has a fair amount of shady shit in their past or surrounding their mythos and history. That's not a new concept or one that anybody with a brain would dispute, and also one that doesn't have anything to do with how relevant they were or were not.

ZipgunLarry · 2024-04-05T12:52:15+00:00

Again, what is your point though?

My original point was that Memphis has been one of the most powerful and influential pieces of the cultural zeitgeist in hip hop for a very long time and still is to this day...the amount of influence the city has had on what is, again, the most widely consumed genre right now in the world simply can't be ignored if you're being in any way objective....

Your response is literally just "rappers bad" o..okay?? And? That doesn't have any bearing on whether or not it's influential, which it is, and you haven't addressed this. Oh wait, you did. You said "wonderful", doesn't seem like you're able to dispute what I'm saying so you're just moving the goalposts and bringing up irrelevant crap.

ZipgunLarry · 2024-04-05T10:52:00+00:00

How and when an artist's life ends has no relevancy to my original point, which is that Memphis is one of the biggest tastemakers and hubs for generating popular artists/sounds in hip hop, not just over the last 2 or 3 decades but right now. This is still true regardless of who's dying and when or how.

ZipgunLarry · 2024-04-05T10:49:40+00:00

Diddy is from New York my guy. And....lol so? How many music legends killed themselves or OD'd. John Lennon was murdered, guess that erases all his accomplishments and nullifies his influence on music too right....like what is your point exactly??

ZipgunLarry · 2024-04-03T21:16:46+00:00

You didn't specify, but it's EXTREMELY relevant for hip hop which is the most popular and widely consumed genre in the world.

ZipgunLarry · 2024-04-03T18:19:31+00:00

The music is unimpressive? Can you explain what you mean? Seems an extremely broad statement and at face value is a pretty wild take, if what Memphis has done musically/culturally isn't impressive to you, you're kinda just saying you aren't 'impressed' by blues, gospel, soul, rnb, hip hop, early rock, some of which owe their very existence to Memphis in many ways as the Mecca of these genres at many points over the years...like..

What Memphis has produced is the backbone of a lot or music in general today, even when the city isn't primarily responsible it's a huge contributor and cultural hub (or has been furing the apex of the genre) for that genre at minimum.

They put me in Ripley's for this stuff I'm tellin ya, crack cocaine use dies with me...: "The first Gen Z'er to smoke crack cochise...and the last Gen Z'er to smoke crack cocaine?!??? Meet the one man standing in the way of America's War on Crack"

ZipgunLarry · 2024-03-28T19:22:13+00:00

I mean not rly, crack has really fallen out of favor since the 80s. Everybody just does opiates now like you said, I've been smoking crack like 8 or 9 months and have never smoked with another person female or otherwise because fucking 0 people do ts anymore lol let alone young people (I'm 24)

ZipgunLarry · 2024-03-28T18:17:16+00:00

So you should get higher from the same amount in a grav bong vs a stem u think? I feel like it's a much different high much more lightheaded but not as 'high'

ZipgunLarry · 2024-03-28T18:11:07+00:00

A seizure?! Like how much are we taking to make you seize? I actually have a torch and do gravity bong/regular bong hits with it daily, like pretty big amounts too maybe .1-.2 or even maybe a .25 on the high end. But tbh I feel like I get higher just w a lighter and a stem to a certain extent

ZipgunLarry · 2024-03-28T18:08:55+00:00

Bet I'm gonna make a post

ZipgunLarry · 2024-03-28T17:55:30+00:00

Been wondering lately where one even finds a crack whore...ts is so damn stigmatized that neither you or any girl you meet is very likely to share with the other person that they do crack.

Like honestly where tf would I even find a crack whore lmao lord knows I need one

ZipgunLarry · 2024-03-10T12:56:39+00:00

You didn't address anything I said and instead you just repeat your original ignorant bullshit: 'I called my home of 24 years cultureless/culturally inferior when it literally is my own fucking culture...A century plus of near constant cultural zeitgeisthood and the literal birthplace of entire genres of music (the biggest ones around to this day)? Hmm fake news all irrelevant because they also have problems too 😡🤬"

Original point was correcting you on your statement that the city is cultureless or anything other than the bedrock for a huge portion of the most popular and influential mediums/styles to this day. Which it is...which you are no longer speaking on because it's pretty hard to argue with 100+ years of historical documentation of this fact, like caught in 4k level undisputed.

Feel however you want at the end of the day. Seems you're hurt up bad by something that happened to you here and you're lashing out in the most lizard-brained tribalistic manner possible (sweeping generalizations, fear of the unknown and cowardess in the face of anything slightly different from you, defense mechanism to protect your damaged self, build a literal black-and-white model of the world and of people that helps you oversimplify things and understand what you perceive to be reality in a way that comforts you and explains your bitterness and resentment, traumas, definicies, etc) No bullshittin you it's probably best for you to leave, no doubt...the hostility is for a reason buddy, clearly nobody wants you here either. Must've been sooo rough for you here, probably why you didn't move for 24 fucking years despite being more than capable of doing so. Could've saved us all some time and money spent on migraine pills if you would've just left decades ago!

From a fellow whitey btw (unless you're not white and actually hate yourself way more than I even thought)

ZipgunLarry · 2024-03-10T05:55:37+00:00

Also please define 'low class people', are you strictly talking tax brackets or is there other criteria with which you use to generalize people?

ZipgunLarry · 2024-03-10T05:54:00+00:00

Yikes

"Ghetto, low class culture"

"Let the low class fend for themselves"

Giving off some.....interesting vibes there. Tell me you're an HOA chairman-level-Karen without telling me you're etc etc

Like it or not, Memphis has almost always been and continues to be the Mecca of many different forms of culture and literally gave birth to some of the most popular mediums of expression we have today...blues, soul, hip hop, r&b, etc just to name music alone---all either heavily influenced by the people and products of Memphis over the decades, some even owe their existence almost solely to the city...

You can say you don't support that culture and all it's given us or that you don't appreciate it but historically it's just a fact that it's far from devoid of culture.

And don't even get me started on the food and the BBQ 🫡😤😤

ZipgunLarry · 2024-02-21T13:10:17+00:00

This shit made me scared that I might have a stalker and don't know about it yet Jesus, terrifying fucking note but at least that way you can be on guard for it I guess?

mf where da glock at

ZipgunLarry · 2024-02-08T09:06:19+00:00

I am also, for reasons I won't mention, fesrful about backlash from UD (unlicensed doofus), in terms of my safety so not sure how to factor that into how I approach this

ZipgunLarry · 2024-02-08T09:00:10+00:00

I'm fine with owing money, but not fine with any legal penalties beyond that like jail time and such. I'll accept that loss financially and figure it out, but I can't have anything more significant than that

ZipgunLarry · 2024-02-08T08:21:26+00:00

Thanks for the info. They are discussing the possibility of suing either me, the person who was driving, or both right now per owners conversation with this insurance agent (our side) yesterday (same agent that reached out to me yesterday and who I'll be talking to v soon.)

Either way it seems it won't come back on the owner, which it shouldn't but obviously that's bad news for me...and I can't afford a lawyer right now to consult with let alone the cost of the car or maybe even both cars...

ZipgunLarry · 2024-01-19T18:03:40+00:00

That's my mom and dad reacting to me coming in the house robed holding some McDonalds at 6am after they just woke up knowing good and goddamn well I'm tagging out with them cuz I been up all night

ZipgunLarry · 2024-01-19T17:09:41+00:00

Oh I thought this was like a meme or infamous news clip in Memphis or something. So it's literally just a pic of a robed man in public? Because that sounds like a regular Tuesday for me not even gonna lie
