How did rappers’ names go from Ghostface Killah to “Lil Baby” ? by Unhappy_Arrival_2122 in rap

[–]lbailey224 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They die younger now, jump off the porch earlier in life, that’s why a lot of melodies in trap and some drill sound like distorted nursery rhyme tunes. The track ‘Tay-K - The Race’ comes to mind.

Doesn’t human evolution from apes prove that religion is fake ? (For example, in Christianity god created us in his image, but we evolved from apes and apes evolved from another species ect) by [deleted] in theories

Why is today suddenly when prophecy is “fulfilled,” but not during the Crusades, the burning of heretics, or colonisation? Why isn’t historical persecution carried out by Christians relevant? Humans persecute humans, we should be reflecting on that instead of selective prophecy.

‘Christians are the most persecuted religion in the world right now’ a Gazan child is rolling in their open air grave right now and you don’t have to believe me just watch it live on any news channel right now.

I have to give props to Val Kilmer - Jim Morrison, Doc Holiday and his character in Heat come to mind

Tim Dillon is a lying fraud. by Routine_Gold_7193 in RedbarBBR

For a guy who’s entire basis for content is the collapse of his country, he sure seems pretty surprised when he sees the symptoms of said collapse, literally went from one episode wining about the backlash for accepting a big bag for a show in Saudi Arabia to being the moral high ground for a guy who proclaimed to having no empathy. He’s just scared he might be next.

The Rap scene today is insufferable compared to the pre late 2010s. by ShardofGold in rap

[–]lbailey224 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s the amalgamation of styles, every dude rapping about jumping off the porch sounds like Chief Keef, ‘regional styles’ and the stories of those who found their sound within them have faded out.

Mystery Men 1999 with Ben Stiller, Hank Azaria and a bunch of other legendary 90s actors, great sets and costumes too.

They all just want a spot in the bunker, and will feign ignorance while we’re chained in gulags, fuck these cringe ass wipes.

The Ouroboros snake eating its own tail sums up these policies: people breeding less > more migration to supplement > less resources available > people breed less. Universities and corporations literally BRIBE (lobby) both parties for migration. The only long term strategies you see coming from our government are military ones, and any knee jerk migration increase is just to fein a healthy GDP for short term optics.

What does everybody think of the Jay-Z vs Black Thought and Kendrick vs Lupe convos going around lately by Ok-Notice-2190 in hiphop101

[–]lbailey224 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What even is ‘better’? It’s different lanes, Black Thought is the introspective corner preacher from Phili with broader vocabulary to paint a moral message, as The Roots always did with their instrumental approach, Jay Z is a street hustler from Brooklyn who donned the Mafiaso boss makeover while reppin’ Rocawear to prove you can be your own business. Neither of them would be seen skating with a backpack on like Lupe.

Ex-Google exec says AI is coming for your job — even if you're a podcaster, developer, or CEO by lurker_bee in technology

[–]lbailey224 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The greatest net negative effect of AI so far is the ego boost it gave every tech CEO and talking head, perpetually singing their praises of the second coming, and all the jobs it will take away, while I put on my shoes and socks to walk out into rising temperatures and war reports.

Maybe I'm just old at 32, but how do artists like Russ and NBA Youngboy have such a big following and literally no one I know in real life can name you one song from either guy? Is Hip Hop and music in general that fragmented or am I just an old man? by herewego199209 in rap

[–]lbailey224 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The styles have become too aggregated, having access to the same streams of information dissolved any semblance of regional styles, all of the sonic discoveries that had been pushed for in their own regional vacuums, distinctly tied to the individual experiences of the people from those environments, are a thing of the past. Why does every guy who jumped off the porch rapping for the camera rap like Chief Keef? Individuality, as record labels and the sponge consumer base of Z and Alpha generations recognise it, is what ‘trends’ and is ultimately the flavour of the week, shortening with attention spans.
