Help me settle a debate. How old are you and do you know how to drive stick?

Say man, Snoop and Kurupt released ‘The Hollow’ last week which is basically a part 2, to Kurupt’s ‘Tales From My Hood’ - they play thru super nice.

ACT want genetically engineered/artificial meat for profit. The Greens wsnt genetically engineered/artificial meat to reduce emissions. We are fucked either way.

They make movies and TV shows of the ‘mafia’ lives and stories. We just want to do the same for our lives and stories.

The Drop finale set up a few nice dramatic arcs for future seasons. You got a potential ‘rap beef’ between Tiptoe and Artillery; and then DG (if he survived) telling the Crips Leon killed Dion for the ‘other side’. And all the founding of new labels in the middle of it all.

Ice T, Chuck D, Eminem, Ice Cube, Nelly, 50 Cent, Lawrence Fishburne, Jack Black, Jason Momoa, Cliff Curtis, Temuera Morrison, Bobby Brown, Christina Milian, Macy Gray, Kokane, Snoop Dogg, MGK, Mobb Deep, Young Buck, Big Pun, Pimp C, MC Breed, Ghostface, Inspektah Deck…
Who’s the most famous person you’ve ever spoken to? Not “seen from far away” — actually talked to, even for a minute. A quick hello, a handshake, a normal conversation… and you still remember it. Who was it?

If it was a West Coast album it means it’s a classic. If it’s from anywhere else it means it’s average.
If an album is 3.5 Mics, what does that mean to you?💿

Please don’t be one of those ‘i thought he would be around forever’ about Patrick Stewart or anyone else. People die - it’s what we are here to do. Appreciate people and make sure they know they’re appreciated while THEY can appreciate it.

If season 2 of The Drop happens, let’s hope they follow the more independent music movement of the time and Leon gets involved to help move music to other states like dope - wholesaling for less to get more immediately/upfront.

Watching The Drop finale… Wanda is Franklin. Use everyone and then play victim.

Album releases should be globally syndicated events if the artist is buzzing enough. Whole album performed live and live streamed globally day it’s released. Outdoor spaces globally broadcasting visual concerts on release day.

Remove tips from the equation - what is an actual living wage for fastfood or hospitality workers in the US?

Who does digital animation? I used to do old school cell animation - but this digital stuff is kicking my ass. I have all the pieces digitised i need the animation work done (and voices/sound too)

Lefty showed he’s jail-seen. He’s still showing the drug damage and probably will be forever, but Lefty is an inspirational person and a great artist. I hope he’s celebrated domestically as much as he is internationally.
West Coast Rapper Lefty Gunplay was asked by Tony Yayo about not using the N-word. Yayo-“You say you don’t use the N-word, explain that to me?” Lefty - “I don’t speak like that, and I know it’s a respect thing to not come up to a black and use that word, it’s not in my vocabulary” Uncle Murda- “ but out here it’s different, because we grew up with Latinos and we all together, in New York it’s different.” Lefty - “but if he were to do that in prison…” (🎥The Real Report/Tony Yayo/Uncle Murda/YouTube)

The music timeline on The Drop fucks me up. But it’s such a good show.

Kerrin Leoni resigning was not the response that was warranted. It does not answer Chris Hipkins lying. He is the leader; he lied. That’s the real damage done to Labour - no surprise the Māori takes the fall and the pakeha gets away free.

Nelly. 'E.I', 'Country Grammar', 'Hot in Herre', 'Pimp Juice', '#1', 'Just A Dream'....
So someone name me a rapper of African American descent….or a RAPPER period that can do a 12 min halftime show….and not bring out…ANYONE…..
