Oooo never heard. Bout to cue this up
On this day in 2002, @madlib released 'Blunted in the Bomb Shelter'—a compilation album mixing classic reggae, ska, and dub songs from the vaults of the legendary Trojan Records.
Whole Caribbean not just magically on violent crime.
Pree the history of the CIA channelling guns to the Caribbean and Latin America. One of several past instances right here...
I fucking told y’all two weeks ago but y’all said Diddy is a billionaire and some Jamaican ain’t running no jail. Then I told y’all Dudus ain’t no ordinary Jamaican drug Lord.
He’s the son of Jim Brown who shot Bob Marley for the CIA. Jim Brown imported all the guns in Jamaica under a CIA deal. They facilitated his entire drug trade and the drug wars in NY & Miami. The FBI credits the shower posse with 1500 murders between NY and Miami.
200 men died just fighting the US forces not to extradite him. That didn’t even happen with El Chapo.
Evil runs in Dudus’ bones. Diddy thinks he’s evil but he’s met a bigger devil.
So as we watch America stiff-arm the drug trade in the region, we're also watching them deteriorate the region's kids with guns and violent crime. So in no time we'll be on the back foot and at the mercy of exploitative outside entities.

JAY-Z breaks down a few of the double entendres in “Dynasty Intro”
Bill Cosby’s son was murdered on a highway while trying to change a spare tire.
“Knowing I can go, just switching a spare,
On the highway to life, nigga I sharpen my sight”
Ending with “sight” after the Stevie Wonder bars is insane.

His dad fled Barbados and moved to Cuba, The woman his dad was married to was murdered for their relationship with Marcus Garvey, he promised her on her death bed he’d name his first son Cuba.
Why are we STILL accepting all this bs?
IF 1500 people want to consume a song, that equates 1 (ONE) album sale. Those 1500 ppl consuming said song generates $4.50 (FOUR DOLLARS & FIFTY CENTS). The most the average artist will receive is $2.25.
Ella Langley has broken a record she previously held with Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.
Her song ‘Choosin’ Texas’ has officially spent more weeks (15) at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart than ‘I Will Always Love You’ and ‘We Belong Together.’ (14)
There was no social media when Whitney Houston was alive. There Was no doom scrolling. If I passed by someone playing a song back then it didn't go towards charting stats. Randomly hearing songs when I doomscroll because of advertising based algorithms is NOT a stat.
