It's not talked about enough that Tulsi Gabbard was in the United States Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command at the same time she ran for president lol
I think the exact opposite. I think hip hop is finally getting over its top-down mandated thing where’s it’s necessarily a young man’s sport. For a certain sub genre of ‘underground’ rap it’s the more seasoned that have been setting the bar and hold the most influence
black thought & jay z both dropping some of the best rapping of their entire careers at age 50 is something i dont think we’re gonna see again very often
Don’t be mad at me but I don’t think breaking shld be in the Olympics but in a “I don’t wanna go see Nas with an orchestra at Carnegie hall” type of way
Rappers shld move on from weird high fashion stuff and just do weird stuff again. Meth with toothbrush in his mouth on TRL. Andre wearing a flapper wig and umpire gear. Motorcycle goggles. A lot of stuff hasn’t really been done yet though: monocles. Orthopedic boots. Hard hat.
Gary Webb, the Pulitzer winning writer who first linked the CIA to crack trafficking in LA to fund the Contras was also the first to link the CIA to Death Row Records from its inception. Need to read this bit in his book Dark Alliance because I forgot about it.
Always thought she came off completely scripted, but the fact she was promoted as an anti war candidate while she is a lt. col. in psy ops division of the Army is incredible, and now she's all in on the culture war. hMmmMMmMmmmm
So funny that this is apparently divisive in 2024 it really brings me back to arguing about experimental art rap 20+ years ago on niche internet forums

Yeah, you're right. She dropped out in March 2020 and transferred to the unit assigned to the psy ops command in June 2020.
If u think sampling isn’t artistically legitimate (and we can debate what constitutes laziness and creativity) then how do you feel about collage made from pre existing images. How do u feel about photography which reproduces a momentarily reality by pushing a button
Damn Rogan’s really sticking it to the establishment here by platforming cartoonishly stupid neocon Cold War 2.0 propaganda. He should have that CIA agent, Mike Baker guy on for the 7th time to confirm if this is true
NEW: Maajid Nawaz discusses the concept “elite-capture” on the Joe Rogan Experience
Stating that he believes the political-global-elite have come under the undue influence of Chinese intelligence agencies
Idk why I should feel the need to preface this with “I don’t get personal on here much” but alas. My wife and I are adopting a baby boy in February (fingers crossed it all goes well) feel it necessary to announce before i go hard on dad tweets
ppl r like "you need to get out of your echo chamber and expose yourself to other ppl's views" aka just see a bunch of dudes post every new Joe Rogan episode and act like their third eye is hella open
For once I’m going to tell you do get a music app that’s actually really cool for discovery. It’s called radiooooo (5 o’s) it has a map of the world and you can click on almost all countries and then choose an era and it’ll start playing music from that country and era.
Gonna post production credits I have (either solo or BSBD) here that I think have been possibly overlooked.

A lot of ppl do music for the wrong reasons like money (what money?), clout and fame. But I do it purely for the love of getting number 29 on Brooklyn Vegan’s 30 best hip hop album of 2022
I’m doin all sorts of new shit, but I’m doing something that is a nod to BSBD x rap roots and it feels good. Updated sound of course but....yeah. Gonna need some guest verses
thinking about the moral panic of rap music in the 90s
How many of those outraged people were friends or associates of ppl like Epstein lol
respectability politics isnt about politeness it’s about coercing the oppressed to imitate the mannerisms &aesthetics of the oppressor,
If you don’t believe in climate change, come to California.
This is from today. And is just a small part of the nearly 600 fires we are battling this week.
Great new episode of Empire Files w

plus you’ll get to hear a snippet of a song from Emergency Heart at the end, but watch the whole thing 👀
As much as Kanye has always been lauded as a trend setter, it never sunk in enough that his biggest artistic “risks” that he got credit for were totally inspired by underground artists. Wouldn’t be an issue if he was someone who actually gave credit where it was due though
many moons ago i did a story on an artist named B L A C K I E and had it confirmed to me on condition of anonymity that B L A C K I E’s music was being played in the studio during the Yeezus sessions.
Kanye also lifted some of the aesthetic as well.
