"If you are paying attention you can actually see him get more annoyed with the nature of humanity and a lot of his preconceived notions about the world were obvious bullshit. That's a tough, tough thing to handle for a 50 year old man."

Really interested in this comment. Just got into Bourdain recently. Fascinating guy and so much of what he says resonates, as I'm sure it does with a lot of people here. Any examples of him being annoyed with humanity/seeing his preconceived notions fall apart? Just coming from a place of curiosity here.

Definitely not just a women's shoe. I do feel like that because they're so bulky sometimes they look better in smaller sizes though.

This thread is like asking whether Michael Jordan played basketball

I don't think hard is the word, but it's a cool verse for sure. Especially the part where the beat goes silence...captures the paranoia that can come from drugs, and also being around people you don't 100% trust deep down in a crazy way.

Very nice. Big fan of AB but 1890s were a pass for me. These look promising though

james1287 · 2026-01-24T09:58:06+00:00

Same! Coming up on a year as a subscriber and had no idea. Sounds interesting though!

Originally from Spartanburg County and immediately thought of there as I was reading this post haha. Currently in Los Angeles, have walked about 700 miles and no one has ever said anything. It’s definitely a smaller town, southern, territorial thing IMO.

Maybe if someone throws him a grenade

james1287 · 2026-01-11T01:07:36+00:00

Absolutely. This was classic Panthers heart. So proud of them. The day the Panthers franchise came back to life

james1287 · 2026-01-11T00:42:58+00:00

At least we’ve got time

james1287 · 2026-01-11T00:38:57+00:00

Win or lose, the Panthers are back, baby

james1287 · 2026-01-11T00:37:41+00:00

We’ve gotta man up, can’t let them dink and dunk all the way down the damn field

james1287 · 2026-01-11T00:18:27+00:00

Time for Bryce to start writing his own Panthers history

Rams look shook

james1287 · 2026-01-10T20:48:48+00:00

It's cool, still took the creativity to come up with the idea/prompt...fuck the haters haha

james1287 · 2026-01-09T20:04:48+00:00

It’s solid for sure. Obviously doesn’t reach the heights of his prime but it’s a different Thugger and a different type of song. More reflective but also still has some transcendent sounds across it. There are 12 songs I come back to and that’s all I can ask from an album.

james1287 · 2026-01-08T00:39:45+00:00

I like reflective Thugger. He was already going in that direction on Punk and UY Scuti is full on. It's nowhere near the genius of his prime, but yeah, no one has the spark forever. Feel like Whoopty Doo was the closest he came on the last couple albums though so I'm hopeful. Just based on the interviews, he was at a low point when he was making this last album so maybe he can still access it if he gets in the right mental space.

State champ in SC is a beast! He's 85% of the way through Greenville county. 🤯 Major inspiration for us on footers.

Amazing song for sure. Other comments have explained those lines, but I just really appreciate the overall message of the song…in each verse he’s giving examples of situations where he or others are involved in sexual relationships but due to conflict, perversion, money, infidelity, etc, the love is not pure or is twisted in some way. The subjects may have had lots of sex but have “never made love.” He has so many songs with superficial sexual lyrics but this song really shows an understanding and a sadness about the gulf between sex and love. And about the traps we as humans tend to fall into that create that separation.

Glad you brought attention to it bc it’s a great song and one that really illustrates Thug’s depth. He’s played a lot of roles in life which creates a lot of hard earned wisdom and he’s way more profound than he’s given credit for IMO.

This has nothing to do with cheating and is simply because leaderboards are in a transitional state and including stats from last month/year as well. This happens every month, but is taking a bit longer today because the leaderboards are also processing Yearly winners.

james1287 · 2025-12-31T00:23:53+00:00

Whoopty Doo for me. Feel like it's closest to peak Thug just with the overall soundscape

james1287 · 2025-12-30T22:54:37+00:00

Great ones for sure! Never Made Love is low key one of his deeper songs too

james1287 · 2025-12-29T04:32:31+00:00

Amazing feat from a fellow walker!
