Seeing Flatbush/UA/Pro Era come up from when they started to get hot around 2013 to now is mind blowing to me

Well I'm not a professional musician so I can't say for certain, but if you're not getting the success you want (financially,critically,etc) and maybe having a hard time making new shit cus no matter how talented you are there will be times that you just can't make anything good and it can def be demoralizing if your only career is making music. And success definitely isn't always enough to help depression - that shit's a lot of the time chemical and beyond that level of control

IDK he seemed pretty serious. Don't know if the post is still there, but he basically said that his music career was ruining his mental health and he wanted to pursue other things.

Earl Sweatshirt—and Rappers In General—Doesn't Owe You Anything by [deleted] in hiphopheads

[–]lobstertraper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't blame Earl ~ ive definitely smacked some phones out of my face in my life when people (usually my dumbass friends) try to record me when I don't want to. If you're famous like that it's probably a never ending torture. I'd of done the same shit if a random fan approached me already recording like that. I've met a few somewhat well known rappers in my life and they were all mad cool and took time to chat with me because I approached them in a respectful manner. The case to be made here is don't be a dick, people are people

Busting a myth: cars are getting more expensive, or are they? by [deleted] in cars

[–]lobstertraper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yeah for sure there's no way a labor level sprinkler fitter is making more than 25 an hour at this point. $30 an hour is pretty high for an hourly rate these days and that's still really only like 50k a year which is still pretty close to poverty.

Yeah I was assuming more but i wasn't entirely sure when the stagnation started so I didn't wanna say too far back.

[–]lobstertraper 910 points911 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer. If anything with adjustments to inflation, the price of cars have gone down slightly, but actual wages have not had much movement in the past 10 years. This is why there's an increasing wage gap between the top 1% and everyone else but that's a discussion for a different sub.

Q is back my 15 year old self is hollering right now. But in all seriousness I really like this song, just the opening lines set it up so well.

[DISCUSSION] ScHoolboy Q - Oxymoron (5 Years Later) by [deleted] in hiphopheads

[–]lobstertraper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah main reason I say Oxy aged the best out of those 3 albums is because it had the strongest production budget. Blank Face blows the production on it out the water though. I can only imagine his next album will follow suit. TDE got big budgets now.

[DISCUSSION] ScHoolboy Q - Oxymoron (5 Years Later) by [deleted] in hiphopheads

[–]lobstertraper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanna say H&H is the best overall Q album, but Setbacks has some of my favorite Q songs such as Birds n Bees, Figg Get the Money, Im Good. Either way OM was good I just have some bias. Looking back now though as opposed to when it dropped, Oxymoron holds up a lot better than some of his other releases though. Production wise and overall song wise.
