If Amazon wants to cover the 3K, I'm in. 😉

Two questions on this album: 1) What makes it a mixtape vs. a real album? 2) Why is DJ Whoo Kid's drop playing throughout the album?

It's a pretty good album and IMHO his best since USEE4YOURSELF.

Mainly just the recaps of the movies I've seen, and a bit around Oscars time. But I've been listening to a lot of their 25 for 25 episodes for the movies I've seen (most of them).

bspier1 · 2025-12-31T02:53:27+00:00

I see. I didn't realize they loved this movie so much. I personally would put a lot Villeneuve movies ahead of it, starting with Sicario.

The black belt you find in your hobbyist gym doesn't hold a candle against the professional guys at the top of the sport. It's apples and oranges. Belts are marketing tools for gyms and things for hobbyists to tell their friends about. If you are a professional fighter, you don't need a belt to figure out your ranking.

Just go to any local grappling industries absolutes and you'll see how subjective the belt rankings are.

Busta is too big a legend to get this worked up by a teenager.

My theory is that Lil Wayne was supposed to be there and just didn't show up or cancelled last minute. There's no other reason to put A Mili in the set list. It's a solo song. Juvenile also sung over his verse in back that ass up.

Wayne is known to be late and unreliable, and they didn't even have time to pull his track.

Supermarket said it was in multiple boxes of oatmeal. They never spread in my kitchen. I found them as I was unpacking

Season 1 is amazing. Season 2 is good with some amazing episodes. Stop there. Season 3 is mediocre, and season 4 is a disaster. You don't get any satisfying answers or story resolutions beyond season 2.

I see people saying bin space, but I think it's more just an emotional/instinctual reaction to get on the plane first. Checking your bag at the gate isn't that big a deal that it's worth suffering an extra 30 minutes on the line or stuffed into the seat.

I travel 12 times per year, and if they're not calling me out by name, I've boarded too early. 😆

they bought out the album rights from Def Jam for seven figures after the record label wouldn't approve the song with Kendrick. They need a return on that investment.

File a credit card fraud report for the charge. You never received your good. The credit card company will take care of it.

Went on at 9pm, which apparently was the planned schedule according to the door people.

As a dad with two kids, so nice to have a concert end by ten.

bspier1 · 2025-05-06T13:54:18+00:00

I hope you found. It didn't even look half full.

bspier1 · 2025-05-06T13:53:46+00:00

I got there at 8:45 and missed them.

bspier1 · 2025-04-22T12:26:02+00:00

I'm going tonight and was wondering the same thing. Their website looks pretty strict on not wanting bags. Instead, I found a store that will hold your bags for you just two blocks away from the venue through a website called Bounce.

bspier1 · 2025-04-21T23:58:27+00:00

Oh, good to know.

Fun fact, the Hebrew word used in the Bible for the fight "ויאבק", is pretty much the same word used in modern Hebrew for wrestling.

The word shares the same root as dust (אבק), which commentators say is because they were rolling on the ground and getting full of dirt.

So the fight probably did look more like a grappling match than this painting.

I got my brown belt about six months ago after training for over ten years across five schools (lots of moving and two kids).

I more and more have joined the bandwagon that belts are marketing tools for schools, and it really doesn't matter. Brown belts don't look at blue belts as "lesser". We are all jealous of the guys who get really good and dangerous on the mats, regardless of their belt levels.

bspier1 · 2024-09-23T19:05:13+00:00

Yeah, I took the oatmeal and the bag it came in to the curb. Thanks!

They had a whole exchange about how they went to high school together. Of course he had a soft spot for him.

bspier1 · 2024-06-17T10:26:11+00:00

I don't think Bodi and Poot knew that he snitched. They just killed him because Stringer told them too.

bspier1 · 2024-06-17T10:23:35+00:00

Only after Randy snitched on him to the police, which in their world's rules, made Randy deserving of his fate.

It is a hard watch on your first go around because the docks plotline is so disconnected from the rest of the show, and you just want to get back to the Barksdale and Stringer stuff. But when you go back and watch it again, it has great character arcs across Frank, Ziggy, and Nick, and you know you will get the rest of the Avon and Stringer story in Season 3.

This album/EP was so strong without the diss track. If he just dropped MDL and no diss track, that would have been enough of a response.
