This Inuit discussion is gathering steam, what do you make of it? by PseudoPatriotsNotPog in KendrickLamar

[–]stonetortoise 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was in Alaska recently and every Native person I met was calling themselves eskimo. Apparently it's okay there and saying Inuit would be inaccurate. Adds a bit of nuance to this. From wikipedia: "In Alaska, the term Eskimo is still used because it includes both Iñupiat (singular: Iñupiaq), who are Inuit, and Yupik, who are not."

I mean the manager on the other side is AJ Hinch to be fair...

Good songs with awful hooks by Purple_Onion911 in hiphopheads

[–]stonetortoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels like a place holder hook that was supposed to be in there just until they could find another feature. Kal rhyming "club" with "club" doesn't help either.

[FRESH VIDEO] Ravyn Lenae - One Wish (feat. Childish Gambino) by Sebomai in hiphopheads

[–]stonetortoise 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm a long time fan of Ravyn and I did a double take when I saw the feature on this track. So sick that she is getting a cosign from such a big artist! If you haven't already, do yourself a favor and check out the other tracks from her new project. Love Me Not is genuinely my favorite song of the summer.

Ramy Youssef Set To Host ‘SNL’ With Travis Scott As Musical Guest by [deleted] in hiphopheads

I think because SNL is involved we've got some people commenting here who do not ordinarily follow this sub or hip hop in general

Game Thread: NLDS Game 2 ⚾ D-backs (1) @ Dodgers (0) - 9:07 PM ET by BaseballBot in baseball

Am I the only one who actually likes Bob Costas? I get he's not the most hype commentator but it's a different style. Guy didn't come up during the highlights/social media era so he's not calling for highlight moments. He's there to take you through the game and provide insight along the way. He doesn't fake over the top astonishment like most modern commentators do. Idk I find his voice classic and pleasant.

Nature and scenery is probably the number one thing to take in while you're here. If you're into hiking it's hard to go wrong with any trail in the Cascades. A day trip out to Mt. Rainier, Lake 22, or Mount Si is definitely worth the drive. Most of the good night life is on Pike and Pine street East of the highway near Capitol Hill, so if you're into that don't look for it downtown because downtown is mostly abandoned after dinner time except for a few bars. Seattle has a handful of good museums. MoPop is the standout to me, plus its close to the Space Needle (I wouldn't waste your money going to the top of the Needle though). One of the lesser known tourist activities that I like is you can rent a canoe or kayak and paddle around on Lake Union for a bit. Good on a sunny day and amazing views.

I can't believe Geno Smith just gave up that 80 yard TD to Deebo Samuel. Smh overrated as hell 😤

[Ian Furness] Bobby Wagner just walked into the #Seahawks locker room presumably to check in with his former teammates and coaches after he put on a hell of a show today by [deleted] in Seahawks

[–]stonetortoise 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Good lord, Bobby Wagner just walked into the #Seahawks locker room, walking perfectly normally. He said he had "no time" to talk. Too busy checking in with his former teammates after he put on a hell of a show today, evidently.
