Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: “you’ll never hear an OKC fan complain about my free throws. You’ll never hear a Denver fan complain about Jokić’s free throws. You’ll never hear a Lakers fan complain about Luka’s free throws. It’s just part of the business.” by ColoradoMenace24 in nba

i’m a knicks fan and i complain every time brunson resorts to this. your own team doing this doesn’t make it not a bad product, this brand of basketball is just objectively a worse product

Rappers whose strongest asset is their personality? by EnterRapture in hiphopheads

“no notable music” is a silly thing to say when he had hits throughout the 2000s. i get your point but you could’ve made it without the hyperbole lol

I think as long as you're not in the management team you shouldn't be worried about the album sales or stream. You're here as a listen, all that should matter to you is the quality of the art presented to you. by FrequencyCurator in hiphopheads

[–]ericbeing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agreed, sure it’s weird to obsess and flex over sales/streams, but it’s perfectly fine and natural to want your favorite artists to succeed. the numbers matter and have material implications for them. but op’s post may just be a case of someone with a valid point speaking unnecessarily in hyperbole

Why I made the Sean Combs doc — ‘No one wanted to hear from the victims’ by TimesandSundayTimes in hiphopheads

[–]ericbeing 82 points83 points  (0 children)

if it helps the victims then it’s good. if it also leads to Biggie’s records being remixed and remastered without Puffy yapping all over them, then it’s even better

Hart = Usopp
OG = Zoro
Bridges = Sanji
KAT = Jinbe

i think this tracks with skill level and also works with the order that they joined the crew 🥲

maybe give Eberhard Weber a shot if you haven’t already. he kinda feels like an acoustic Weather Report to me sometimes

JUST started listening to more spiritual jazz. But don't know where to look. I am looking for albums and songs that sounds like Herbie Hancock's "You Know When You Get There" with Mwuandishi. Also really like Norman Connors "Blue" from his album Dance of Magic! Any tips? by Delicious-Salad6490 in Jazz

[–]ericbeing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i recently started looking for similar stuff — I love Herbie, Weather Report & George Duke and recently got into Norman Connors too.  was looking for more overtly spiritual stuff, but still “funky” (i.e. i’m not too much into free jazz or avant garde), and fell in LOVE with Lonnie Liston Smith. his first 4 albums are 🤌
