Well clearly i don't appreciate my time enough, with me being here, writing this, but the same goes for you reading this waste of time, aren't we quite the unoccupied fellows? Procrastination sure is something....

She's in need of gratuitous sex from me when she entertains thoughts like that.

XD Oh man. How old are the youngest people in those reunions I wonder? I guess us Swedes are pretty traditional. Few derivations from this classic egg-based phrase.

When you come back you really back! Full steam! Interested to hear about the situation over there. I guess immigration from neighboring countries wouldn't be as noticeable as from other parts of the world entirely too. Venezuelans don't look or act all that different, no? Similar culture?

All those faces man, damn... they all feel like they could've been leaders of some sort. Determination. Didn't read the full report but that's a pretty depressing intro yeah. How's this year looking so far? Better/worse?

We actually don't hear anything about Colombia on the news over here, and I'm not sure Venezuela has been mentioned either. It's like a certain part of the world is just not on our radar. Everything deals mostly with China, US, Russia; these superpower relations, and then our neighboring countries over here. Have heard about riots in Chile, but that's the closest it gets. As if these things are the norm over there. Or for some reason just don't reach abroad. Maybe we don't have journalists in your areas hmm... maybe it's a more dangerous place to be than the middle east... maybe since larger governments/commercial entities aren't involved in the power struggle then the mainstream media just doesn't represent. Hmm...

For sure. Have understood such is the case. Missing those in-depth comments on the blog, but then again it's been a while since I had time to post a really in-depth blog. Good luck with the graduation! I'd almost forgotten about those deep PM convos too. XD It's been a while. I've been here but that time waste hmm... it seems like an international phenomenon.

I'm doing phenomenal though. Listening to a lot of these: https://youtu.be/w7HMOsRUFS8

Making some of these: https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/889925

Grinding on, traveling a bit, striving forward with a certain uncertainty as to what to strive for. Such is the way. Got a forklift license a few weeks back too. Not a major merit but: trying new things. It's fun. Maybe I'll stumble into an unknown utopia somewhere.

5 i think is the youngest? i suppose it will lead to an interesting conversation if i bring it up, about when it is proper to use what kind of words, but then again people did end up smiling.

Certainly, i guess culture shock wont really be a factor in this case.

Oh you read way more than i did, i just skimmed the abstract and was done with the report. About the same as always really.

But then again, there's nothing actually new to report other than propaganda, so it makes sense. Oh field journalism on the hot parts would definitively be more dangerous since there are so many powers fighting over land.

Yeah as soon as i got to a critical point i decided to procrastinate and start browsing the web.

Getting on that Run the Jewels trip, that's the good stuff, what a coincidence i was just listening to some EL-P albums, "I'll Sleep When You're Dead" to be more precise.

Still got that fire, dope!

I always remember Austin Powers whenever i see a forklift, even if he is not really driving an actual forklift. How's the book going?

Haha, well it must be a cultural thing too. People grow up quick over there. :P

Feel obligated to read stuff someone sends me y'know. :P Otherwise I usually don't take the time either.

So now's the critical point hmm. Wonder how this will go.

Yeah and they really have some wisdom to share with the world too! At least Mike. Haven't listened to El P much in interview, just a production session way back. Btw you might like this: https://youtu.be/u-syZXHPcJE

Those guys have some of the most amazing live sessions ever. Tech N9ne, Mac Miller, Andrew paak - some of their best performances ever right there. Not trying to make you procrastinate even further though so saving the links!

Hell yeah!

lmao. XD Oh yeah... that book! Haven't gotten so far with that one yet. Maybe I'm still caught up on one gigantic procrastination session. I don't know though... don't really have the same interest for it as I used to. Been focusing more on music lately. Thinking of trying the Patreon route and making something bigger there.

Yeah, but i think it was more like he forgo there were children there.

If i were to use an statistical model to make a prediction, i would say same as always.

Tiny Desk has some great stuff, you get to learn about a bunch of artist from a whole of genres, and they always bring their best, they did one with Sesame Street in June, and i know what you are going to say, nostalgia probably plays a big factor, and at the start it was true, then they started playing "What I Am", i wasn't even watching the video just having it play in the background, and it was so awesome, it was like the soundtrack for an anime movie after the hero gets back to save the day, but it was Sesame Street, the show that teach you how to count and your ABC, i listened to it twice, and it made me take a look at myself it hits hard, Sesame Street on Tiny Desk.

I watch them regularly, they even had a cycle of feminist and afro music so i send a link to my mom last year, it is great.

From Newgrounds to Patreon, without Soundcloud? straight to the point!

Ah.

Hmm, but for there to be a cycle repeating itself there needs to be a cycle, so some kind of new change before the old change becomes new change...

Oh damn I need to see that! I watched this one recently: https://youtu.be/n6oSeODGmoQ

...and the first song gave me chills. Really unexpected. Can't guarantee you'll react the same, but definitely agree with how it brings out the best in people, and opens your eyes to new artists, and styles, and perspectives of life and everything. They probably have the best descriptions of any channel on YT too if you ever bother reading those. Sesame Street on Tiny Desk be opened in a new tab now btw.

Nice. :)

Actually I do have a Soundcloud too, but it's rarely uploaded to. Not too happy they have a cap on uploads. If you choose to really invest in them you'll suddenly realize you have to pay to upload new stuff, or start removing your old stuff, and I'm not a fan of removing stuff or paying for stuff involuntarily. Patreon though, they seem pretty benevolent and open...

Will see how that goes next year. I have some collabs lined up that I'm currently procrastinating with/somewhat too busy for... need to get a grip on this shizzle.

I suppose.

That was good.

Well you do love the sun so a song about lingering under the sun does seem like it will spoke to your interest haha. But jokes aside she does had an impactful style solo violins do sound powerful when played right and she can play them right.

I had this one on repeat for an entire day:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfzu33BfRHE

Dammit so i can't make that soundcloud rapper joke then, maybe is for the better.

Next year? hey that's a month away!

Goosebumps level good? Or just good? I do appreciate some good Sun Ra's (wasn't intending that to be a joke about a jazz composer, more so Gods, anyway...).

Glad you appreciate violins too. It's not something I usually listen to, but with that first bit I feel like her voice did the most too. Voice like a violin. I wasn't as amazed with the rest of them but did listen through.

Snarky Puppy man, what a name... but what a band!!! Was thinking it'd be a bit like The Roots but these guys were pretty special. Most unorthodox instrumental setup I've stumbled upon so far. Any other ones I should check out?

Haha well Soundcloud rappers are no joke no longer. :P They're in the mainstream too.

Yupp. -_-'

I rarely get goosebumps from music, and when it happens is more due to nostalgia, so i guess i will go with just good.

I felt her voice more on the fine side of things. I think it was some local Jazz band which made me appreciate violins by themselves rather than an accompanying instrument, and then there was that group Nuttin' But Stringz that mixed classical violins with Hip-hop, so i may be biased on this one more than usual.

For Jazz jamming bands, NPR also introduced me to these guys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kfrmkseMAI

For unorthodox setups they had these guys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA7MgcgqaZA the video description presents them as sonic warriors, whoever makes those descriptions has a way with words.

Yeah, yeah, they are no longer on soundcloud hahahaha.

Indeed.

Mmm, my goal is now to find some music so amazing or emotional it'll actually give Doomroar goosebumps...

Nuttin' But Stringz huh, interesting.

Nice. :) While we're on the theme of unconventional artists, this guy was pretty interesting too: https://youtu.be/rFtP7Xc_Fbo

Also would recommend Andersson Paak if you hadn't seen his performance, very soulful: https://youtu.be/ferZnZ0_rSM

yeah the video descriptions are the shizzle! I get all inspired each time I take the time to delve into them. Wish the mainstream still spend the same amount of passion in their papers. So many typos in the news these days, it's a lost art...

lmao. XD True, though some OGs: https://soundcloud.com/machinegunkelly

Sure, why not.

They released one LP, and then kind of disappeared.

Ooooh Brushy One String, i subscribed to his YT channel back then, what memories, he did a tour around south america and was constantly uploading vlogs, but after years of listening to him, i understood something, he kind of gets old, on his channel he has some videos with some friends of his, some old videos, and those felt way more refreshing than some of the things he will go and do later on, i mean chicken on the corn kind of gets old after a while and is kind of hard to give that a twist with just one string, but well some times people go and do their own thing.

Yes Lawd. Yeah i know him and the Free Nationals, his case is the opposite of Brushi, Paak keeps himself fresh, and his new projects keep bringing the hype, despite being on the game for a while when you listen to him you felt like he will keep getting bigger.

Anyway, so continuing this musical exchange, i have these guys

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgNVvtOp8mU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Mmtqlx8d08

"Up" is actually one of those rare songs that gave me goosegumps the 3rd time i listened to it, and man i wish i had found about them earlier, i am sure they will do great on NPR, it will be a great classic.

And these guys, the video description for these ones are pretty much nonexistent. But, i recommend you a funny experiment if you haven't listened to them before, pause the video at the start, wen the logo is still on screen, and go read the comments, then after you get a couple of "WTF did he send me..." like at least 3 or 4 WTFs, play the video, the contrast will leave you with a smile.

So here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pG9kNEbCmnA

I get all my news from "alternative" sources and indie blogs, so i will take your word on that one.

Wait didn't he got killed by Eminem? as in completely destroyed? as in even his fans booed him on stage? so he is making a comeback, will he go by water gun kelly now?

Oh the previous guys also have a SC https://soundcloud.com/mxiiixm

Just struck me: I wonder if the practicality of living in a warm country makes it harder to get goosebumps. That even if it's an emotional response, the temperature plays a role in heightening/easing that physical response. Maybe your blood flow temporary slows if you have an emotional peak, which incites the skin to react, even if the music itself, say, is not actually THAT amazing...

From Nuttin' But Stringz to... Nuttin'. :/ Bummer.

Hmm so fame changed him? He lost his spark? Would've been interesting to follow him from day 1 like that. He still seemed so humble in the NPR thing though.

Man it seems like you've already heard everything. XD All these years not on them blogs... you were binge-watching tiny desk concerts huh! Did you hear his tracks on Dr. Dre's Compton album btw? Loved those. Discovered him there. I really hope he gets huge but still never changes in that big fame bad change kind of way!!!

Ah man Earth Gang are awesome. :D Saw them for the first time on Fallon's late night show a few days back. Wasn't a huge fan of their more modern mainstream rap style then, but the softer/more melodic was: really nice. The Color Show really brought out the best side in them but I do prefer This Side over Up. At least over the latter part. Not a fan of the slur trend. This really isn't the style of music I'd get goosebumps from though. :) Interesting... maybe I need to have them on repeat a bit to fully appreciate. They're definitely musical but I don't really catch the same depth of feeling here as with say that violin thing.

Damn man Alxndr definitely gave me goosebumps! :D Unexpected. if an Akatsuki could sing haha, yeah, them comments...

How's the typo level on alternative/Indie sources? I really don't partake much in the mainstream but every time I happen to read a real article/read some news subtitles something pops up. Might be what keeps me away. I just can't trust a source if they're not serious about their presentation. At least not when they're supposed to be.

Nah MGK's alive and well. :) It's awesome to skim through his old videos, read the comments, and realize how many fans he's turned over after the beef. He does seem kinda depressed though, but then again the new music hits even harder that way: https://youtu.be/RRcXtqamWWM

Or: https://youtu.be/0frFDdDVT7Y

Or a bit more aggresive: https://youtu.be/oIm-GQml3ew

Also just discovered this guy: https://youtu.be/IzjuReog3Yo

Also: https://youtu.be/7DWAMVDtUww

Nice. :)

Maybe, but i feel like it is more of a personal thing, since i can still get them with specific songs once i get attached with them, but it is rare.

Oh he is humble, is not about fame, is more about stagnation, like he didn't got to that next level you would expect of him, i think it is really hard for him to do that going solo.

I don't remember when i discovered him, but probably with Bubblin that song with Kendrik. Actually i have yet to listen to that Album, it's there on my to listen later list, which keeps growing. Talking about Paak he got Nominated for a Grammy again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36QmUQnIioE

For this song with 3 Staks, and anything with Andre is golden in my book, so he better win: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGCkibEJrxc

Hahahaha, it seems that way, no man i swear i was busy trying to graduate, i am, i still am supposedly trying to graduate.

Censorship does a lot of disservice to music, their This Side on Fallon lefts a lot to be desired, but the one in Colors is another story, with Up i guess what i like is the matchup of a somber feel that is still encouraging, you know some times healing comes from killing, it is actually what made Outkast work so well, that mix between 3000 soul funk and Big Boi gansta pimp.

The comments are great, the band too.

No idea i hardly ever put any attention to such things, i worry more about source links, if they even bother to put them, and were they are getting their info from, that's what i put my focus on, if i end having to google it, and then the source ends being reddit, and then on it the source was a comment, to a forum... man some times reddit has good shit but really just want just the link up to the direct source, otherwise don't waste my time on a rabbit hole for something that may be just fake.

Water gun kelly with that fire water? i actually never paid attention to him until Enimen shot him, i was like who is that kid? and why is he getting murdered on track? what did he do?

So of course didn't even knew he was "back", that said, maybe he needs to get another round "were would this generation of rappers be without me?" bold statement, but who what generation is he talking about here?

No, like really! yeah, it has been a minute. I swear i was studying and not watching Tiny Desk videos, actually i have till next week to pass my final report on my internship, but here i am procrastinating, anyway, they were on NPR too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88_jAJ-MduU

Also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gP0-sDkFS8

For me it's usually the other way around, it's the first time I listen to something that really catches me off guard. With repetitions the goosebumps usually recede...

Brushy Two String. :P

I thought you didn't partake in the mainstream man! The Grammies... that's awesome though. Hope he gets one. I don't think I've heard Bubblin yet, bout to listen now, love Kendrick's music but I haven't been tuned in much to him either thus far. Watched an interview with him and Rick Ruben though. That was awesome. Very insightful.

Ah that track the grammy glimpses recapped above too. Nice. He really has such a unique voice, seems like it works for anything... but the Compton tracks were refreshingly aggressive compared to his usual stuff. Wish they'd put up some of those on YT.

Hope it goes well man. :) Worst case you'll get stuck behind a tiny desk...

Didn't even realize the Fallon version was censored hmm. Interesting. Yeah these guys really remind me of Outkast two! Like someone said in the comments it's like Outkast but with two Andre 3000's. Almost. XD

Indeed.

I see typos all over the place but source links... been a while since I really went looking for those. XD Wonder if it's a habit of higher studies. Feeling pretty far distanced from that life right now. Sounds like it might take quite some time following all those links though...

Oh man I didn't know that was even a thing. XD Twitter handle and everything. Honestly lost a lot of respect for Eminem after their feud, he was great with the disses of course but MGK had so much more validity with his one IMO. It all felt so petty and unnecessary. Been a fan since way back with: https://youtu.be/uWgr_p0ykwo

...and he's been reinventing himself so much since. I feel like if you've followed the journey you'd have a different understanding of his animosity towards Em.

Just have to link to one more video btw: https://youtu.be/zsBEjiR3RQw

...Red Hot Chilli Peppers and MGK are pretty much my dream concerts at this point.

Nice. :D Didn't know either one of those... had you heard of Oddisee before btw? Hope that guy makes it onto NPR too.

Oh it's soon! Best get back to work man!!!

I see.

But is actually a band, and both members only play with 1 string!

He has won those before, the Grammy awards are a sham, but whatever makes him grow is ok on my books, as long as he doesn't sell outs, he seems to have his shit together so i am confident.

I actually would be ok with desk work, i did more draining things on my internship, surprising enough the patients were actually alright, but you do feel the toll.

Yeah they can't go and say "this is for my niggas and niggets, and my non niggas and non niggets" on TV. Wonder if NG will censor this?

That's high praise, high high high praise, they do have a feel to it, but they are not there yet.

A good article just puts its links within, or at the end, and you should click once and get the entire details, but once you end going down a rabbit hole maybe they are bullshitting you.

Nah son i was with Em since Revival, which was not his best album, but set the groundwork to get back at everyone for talking shit, including Water gun Kelly which apparently had that Rap Devil song written for a while, and between a man trying to get famous by dissing someone else, and a man setting the score right, i will go with Em. Or maybe i am too old for Kelly.

Well if i get rap murdered i too would go and reinvent myself hahaha. I just know that he tried his luck with Ems daughter, and that it misfired.

... oh the irony.

Oh man just realized you just linked me to Oddisee ON NPR. XD My bad. That was great... must've been somewhere else for a minute.

Well aren't you happy, they did made it onto NPR haha.

Brusky Two String AKA The Brushy One Strings. :P One could play guitar, one could play bass... maybe a drummer with one drum with one drum stuck too, and a synth with one key, and hey this could go places... reinvention for real!

Oh man I thought only mainstream peeps actually won those! need to educate myself. Don't actually know anyone who's won a grammy. For sure, he really seems to be all about the music no matter what, hope so.

But a TINY desk? :P Yeah you definitely didn't choose the easiest profession. But a worthy one. Were you working as an intern during the education phase or even before? Voluntary stuff?

lmao. XD NG don't censor tho.

Mmm. IMO they're a bit like a modern, mumble rapper variant on those two. Currently. Old gen was generally so much more articulate, but I hope they get there. Feels more like a matter of style than of mastery these days though. Btw have you been following Strange Music additions? King ISO, JL, etc? Great artists all over but I can't really make out everything ISO says. Strange accentuations.

Mmm.

I've been with Em since before the Eminem Show yo. Still a fan of his music, but not so much his character now. MGK had the dis written up before Eminem responded to him, though? Didn't know that. I had the impression Eminem just really overreacted to his tweet, called P Diddy to get MGK off the label, etc. Then had a little mainstream media campaign where he made it seem like he was all over it, making half-assed jokes and looking fake. Was disappointing. I loved the Kamikaze album though. Can't say MGK was anywhere near with the Binge EP (one of his worst works IMO), but the thing I respect about him is that he seems to be true to his emotions. He says what he feels. He stands for what he says. He gets emotional. He doesn't bullshit. He's never compromised his artistic integrity for commercial interests. Eminem used to be like that too but now it feels like he's just hiding behind a facade. He's changed. :/

I think you're getting the mainstream version of the story though. Did you read the tweet that stirred it all? Do you feel Eminem's reaction was really merited? What's sad is that the media were probably the spark that really got things started too, trying to incite a response from both of them; getting them riled up against each other. That tweet could've been just another tweet. I'm sure hundreds of people at least say worse things in regard to Hailie every day without ever getting the, in their case maybe, befitting repercussions.

Then they take it to a new level and the lyrics start to be made with just one vowel.

You know it is weird because Paak is mainstream famous, i would say, but he collabs with a lot of independent and underground artist, so he is on a weird spot, but that's what makes it good.

As long as i have good internet access, i will take a tiny desk! Education phase, doing cognitive evaluation at a psychiatric hospital, it is needed to discard dementia, cognitive deficit, and other neuropsychological compromises, and since it was part of my requirements for graduation (didn't got paid) i guess it is sort of voluntary work?

Hahaha yeah the whole words are there for anyone to read, good shit, good shit, i guess you can't do mumble text on NG.

Funny enough i can actually understand what they say, maybe because i have been repeating for a while, maybe because i listened to the uncensored version first, plus i checked the lyrics for Up after a while to make sure, but that was later.

No i haven't, actually i haven't even been listening to OG Strange Music, recently Tech9 had a collab with flatbush zombies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ov8CROpCelI and that's the most new thing i have heard from SM for months if not a year or more, and you know i haven't feel like going back to check, before i stopped paying attention to them they were on a streak of "party" music, which didn't resonate with me.

No i mean the start of the beef that lead to the murder out, of course i was with Em before that. For sure Rap Devil is an old song, old, which is what lead to a whole lot of speculation of the entire conflict being fake. You telling me that Eminem going around clowning is not an Eminem thing? are we talking about the same guy? for me it looked like it has been years since he had been having fun. Isn't that a contradiction tho, how can a man sell out when he releases an album dissing the industry that he supposedly sell out to, because that same community didn't supported his previous album? album in which he openly talks about what has been going on his life? also he was not going after just rappers trying to get a piece of him, but reviewers, critics, and labels too.

I do think it was merited, because Kelly is an upstar, he is not a nobody wilding out on the internet, he has a following so whenever he acts out of line you have to take things serious, is not the same if a social influencer do it compared to a random guy, you have to put the respect, bring the pimphand out, discipline some kids.

Ooh ooh ooh!

Hmm that's true, the Dre. Collabs would definitely be considered mainstream I guess... we just never have him on the radio over here. He's not mainstream international at least.

If you have a big enough computer even the biggest desk will look tiny too! Hmm yeah I guess so, in that regard all education's voluntary too. :) Do you learn all of these terms in English too btw, or educate yourself even further with that?

Yupp yupp, NG's got the old new gen y'know, Soulja Boy and those peeps. :) Before it all went downhill.

Well I do hear what they're saying too, so props on that, but there's a lot of slurrrring with the worrrds. Mumble may be the wrong word. It feels like there are two categories of rappers even within the mumble rapper genre too, one that are actually distinguishable, but with a style that's all but focused on accentuation, more so on hard r's and long syllables, a lot of skrrrr rrrr rrraaaa, wuuurrrrrr, that stuff, you know? Then the other side that's just totally braindead.

Maybe not right to just split the new school in two sides though, there's so much more than that, but what I mean is: they stylize more than they accentuate. I'm not a huge fan of that approach either.

King ISO though, don't understand him so well, even though a lot of people seem to consider him a possible heir to Strange realm. Makes great music though, pretty unique: https://youtu.be/h_q7m63_Qf8

Ag you jumped off around the McKenzie/Above Waves wave, maybe? They're definitely bringing in some new styles lately, but the dopeness remains. Everybody but Rittz. Ubiqutous and the other dude are putting out solo work, Wrkenoze has been putting out a freestyle every week of the year, JL finally got signed (DIBKIS), the label put out a little music video series recently, it's good shit, mostly. Exceptions of course.

Flatbush Zombies are awesome. :) They got that accentuative style too. And Tech's always a killer on any feature. That hook. Good stuff.

Ever heard of Flying Lotus? Might be my favorite of the year right here: https://youtu.be/Isn8Qp-H0N4

Huh. Haha alright, Eminem clowning maybe is an Eminem thing, I just didn't want to see it that way I guess. His clowning against other artists didn't leave me with the same bad taste, even when it was against Limp Bizkit (who I loved back in the day) it definitely felt merited, and I lost respect for DJ Lethal with that. Everlast though, I fortunately rediscovered that guy, he's old now but pretty dope: https://youtu.be/p6Dp0KJzMPI?t=3875

Yeah you're right, he's not selling out. I feel like he definitely misunderstood MGK though. Maybe you need to go deeper into his discography to realize what kind of person he really is. They have similar roots. Trying to get P Diddy to unsign MGK... that bit still feels petty.

But he didn't act out of line, that's the thing. At least I didn't perceive it that way. Em could've taken it as a compliment. MGK respected him heavily; he's said that in multiple interviews as well as within that very same tweet. Sure he has a social following, but he wasn't pushing for that following to do anything here, it was just a comment. No enmity. If anything Em's response could've been a thing to incite MGK's following to respond, towards him or his daughter, not very responsible.

Is funny how radio is still the mainstream, despite radio supposedly being dying for a couple of years now.

When you put it that way, but big computers for desk work are usually slow, gotta find that balance. Well some education is mandatory, but yeah. The literature for some of them is indeed primarily on English, however the test of course have been validated and localized so those things can be found in Spanish (otherwise it would be pointless to apply them).

The old new gen, or NG.

Or maybe they are actually saying skrrrr rrrr rrraaaa, you know ad libs. That said i don't thing neither of those 2 songs have any ad libs.

Man you are making me feel like an old far, i remember when Murs and Mayday were the new kids on the block, that's how disconnected i am.

This is going off on a tangent, but Ces Cru led me to discover these guys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_ZkUROJ86Y , someone in the comments of one of their songs said, "Godemis looks like the vocalist of Hed PE", and i was like yeah... where have i seen this guy? well anyway it turns out i was thinking of Hopsin, but i got to know Hed PE thanks to that random comment, it was a good trip.

Dude, are you ready for another rabbit hole? because Flying Lotus is not just the child product of Adult Swim, he has now become an anime composer http://caroleandtuesday.com/music/composers/flyinglotus.html from fan to maker,
BTW i recommend it, it was surprisingly good for a slice of life anime, it had a lot of references to Cowboy Bebop and Space Dandy, which i also recommend, and while i am on FL, he also had a song with Paak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylqBPksn36A and the one that animated the video? is the director of Carole and Tuesday.

Yeah FL is great, he checks all the spots, oh and Denzel Curry, which features on that link you send me, he is great too, and he plays a character on Carole and Tuesday, at this point you pretty much have to watch that anime, no doubts, no excuses, you have to.

Have we talked about Thundercat already? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhVgbZdMdb0 he is another Adult Swim nerd on the same vein as Flying Lotus, and yes he too was involved on Carole and Tuesday.

And since we are talking anime (i mean you brought Flying Lotus, can't have one without the other), Megalobox is gonna get a second season, and Psychopass 3 is having a great run.

DJ Lethal is back with Limp Bizkit, seems they are buddies again. Talking about them, i gave a serious listening to their song Nookie, and damn, what a deep song, it has been mocked for years as the most childish and ignorant song, but it actually has layers, it is the poster song of denial in relationships, a man trying to hide yet exposing his feelings as he makes excuses trying to protect himself, by saying that he was never in love and all he wanted was to get laid, but the song itself betrays this simple narrative, and in the end of the day he cared enough to make a song out of the experience.

He has a voice that gets better with age.

What was he doing with puff anyway? that's an automatic lose on creed.

Was he tho? lets make the math, because the math will never fail us, the tweet was dropped on 2012 Kelly is 22, and Hailie is 16, and there's Eminem, and he reads this guy calling his daughter hot as fuck. You want him to take that as a compliment? hell no, i would compare him to R Kelly too.

This reminds me of the classic internet comments, age it but a number, jail is but room.

They always say that about things they want to kill. :) I'm glad DAB never took over either. They've been talking about killing FM for decades too. Gotta get rid of the old technology, and bring in something worse, so they can bring in something better. Maximize sequential profit.

Ironic it is, indeed, the better computers get the smaller too... good to know. Seems like you're all set for international careers too then. :)

Fo shizzle.

Mmm, might be, I didn't notice any either. Well there are definitely adlibbed skrrrr rrrr rrraaaa bits too, but it seems to me they also weave it into the style. It becomes a part of their acentuation; drawing out words and syllables in new ways. Not all bad to reinvent, but to me hiphop is still most importantly about lyricism and storytelling, so thee needs to be a certain clarity with the performance for it to connect.

Wasn't that last year? XD Well Murs... that wasn't that long ago. Mayday definitely been around forever. When I jumped on the bandwagon they'd already been on a loooong time...

Like Hopsin with them eye contacts huh, though otherwise they really don't look much alike I think. Hed PE though damn! That energy. They remind me more the Nu Metal bands I grew up with than rap, but I think I'll be going on a Hed PE binge soon... first impressions they're like a hybrid between Sum 41, Suicidal Tendencies and Korn. And Rage Against The Machine. Sorta. Unique though.

Oh man that's awesome. :D Grand-nephew of the famous saxophonist John Coltrane too, damn! Connections. Blade Runner Black Out 2022 hmm... I'll add it to my watchlist. Haven't ticked anything off my anime watchlist in maybe ~5 years though... also never heard of Carole and Tuesday. Was that the one you were recommending? Not Blade Runner Black Out 2022?

Hell yeah I watched the Thundercat one earlier. :) Don't know if you linked to it or someone else. Awesome too. And that Andrew Paak collab was awesome too. Nujabes vibes with te music; Samurai Champloo with the music.

Megalobox and Psychopass 3 man, this is too much. XD Both amazing? I'm way out of the anime world these days, just still following One Piece. Mostly heavy filler and annoyingly unworthy expressions with the characters these days but it does have its moments...

Has he stopped drinking too? That'd be cool. Hmmmmm... really? No irony? I'm not seeing as profound a message in that but I do enjoy their music, the older the better, that one twenty minute song on the first album, if you're looking for any one track with a deeper message... they were something else in the early days.

Talking about Eminem now? Actually almost prefer his older styles, seems like he won't ever get back to the same fluidity as with for example: https://youtu.be/_Ci6LhAmYJk

Btw maybe the best remaster I've ever heard.

Man P Diddy pretty much revolutionized the genre back in the day! His production ethics were ahead of his time. Don't say you don't recognize his impact in the business? May not have been a huge fan of his character, but his impact. Good show of character standing up for MGK though. I respect that.

Oh damn it was that far back... Googling what kind of images Hailie was putting out in 2012 that comment doesn't seem entirely unmerited but yeah... maybe not.

Legal age limits though. It's strange how a social construct has been so cemented as a moral ethic. Why 18? 21? 16? Whatever it is over there? Apparently it's 15 in Sweden. Anyway, to conclude: it might not have been the most sensible thing to say, but I do feel like Eminem overreacted, that the media's to blame for that, and hope somewhere in the future these two may reconcile, having stood the test of time by their own merit, and put out a dope collabo together, as wise old men who let old begrudgings be, and as unequivocally dope artists.

But Dabbing was everywhere, what took over now is floss. Since pretty much everyone has a podcast now it is working.

Na i will get a masters after this, i don't really feel prepared enough.

However it is also about playing with words.

The album Mursday was last year, apparently Murs has been with Strange Music since 2014.

I describe them as Rock Punk with some Hip-Hop so closer to RATM.

Didn't mentioned the animated spinoff of Blade runner, so the other one.

The animation is closer to Space Dandy actually, which was my other recomendation, and Cowboy Bebop,

Anime of the year both. Weird One Piece anime hasn't had filler since the silver mine arc, when they were preparing for Film Gold, what it has is some horrible pacing, which is more notorious since the Wano arc starts kind of slow.

I have no idea probably no celebrities and drugs are a combo hard to break. Actually no irnoy, on the surface is a song about a man getting on a relationship for sex, but under close attention it is about a guy into denial of his own feeling after his girlfriend cheat on him with his "friends".

I was talking about Everlast, who has the voice of an old gruff man, but now is actually an old man.

Pfff hahaha, what? the guy that build up his entire career on the shoulder of Biggy then jumped ship just to get ahead? that guy an example of ethics? holly shit man.

Did you wen to wild out on Eminem's daughter when she was 16? wow man, didn't knew you were like that XD.

Every moral and ethic is a social construct, so is not really strange at all if that's how legal age limit is established, or anything else on that branch.

Anyway as for why some age and not others, it relies mostly on averages, at what age are people considered functional adults? under what criteria? if it was supported by research then people don't start developing till their mid 20s, and some are truly economically independent on their late 20s, so who decides when someone else is old enough to get into a relationship with someone else who is mentally their equal? no idea it seems indeed arbitrary.

However arbitrary or not, Kelly should have known how old he himself was, and how old she was when he decided to make those comments and be out of place, the problem is that he acted like a teen towards a teen, but he was no longer a teen, even if mentally he was one, which at 22 is pretty much one, but society no longer sees you as one, nor does Eminem, and i bet Kelly didn't saw himself as a teen back there.

Well for that to happen one of them has to become an old man first hahahaha.

*Nujabes vibes with te music; Samurai Champloo with the animation. I mean.

lmao. XD As long as you don't go dabbing to DAB radio... flossing seems healthier though. What's this? Reference I don't recognize...?

The studies just keep going?! I've pretty much felt that way my entire life. Sure it'll go great though! The wiser you are in experience whatever the wisdom.

That is true. But even though Digimon is also a card game based on fictional pets and monsters I do prefer Pokemon. Some styles just work for me, some not so much. Some feel pure, other more so derivative...

Oh damn it's been that long already huh. Felt like Mursday came out just right after Murs got on the label... maybe it wasn't really announced at first.

Sounds about right yeah, maybe closest to RATM but I'm definitely hearing the others too. Or seeing. The half-eye bandana. The punk style.

Ah OK. Added both though.

Nice. :) Watched both of those already at least.

Got it. Right, I mean filler more with the pacing than actual filler arcs, like how they keep moving between their expressions, adding in little bits of comedy I don't believe are in the real manga etc. It really destroys the atmosphere. :/

They did have that single filler episode recently but that's pretty much it I think... wouldn't mind a full arc if we just get the rest of the series done as truthfully as possible. It's getting so bad I'm starting to hope they'll do a reboot and just retell the whole story a bit quicker when it's all done.

It's their fuel, for good or bad... hmm, interesting. I'm a have to listen through their old albums again too.

Ah yeah that's true! Checked out some of his older music and it's like his voice didn't match his appearance at all. So strange. It definitely does now.

He did that...? Hmm, I might be missing some vital background info here. If so: my bad. I only know his side of the story, but that side's pretty impressive. He was way ahead of his time when it comes to the production aspect.

Man I didn't know she had an Instagram back then, but if I did... who knows. :P Everyone's someone's daughter.

Mmm, maybe not. Just seems like all of these legal ages are within a strange age span considering they're way past puberty and still way before your brain is fully developed. Like it's a middle ground past sexual ability/drive yet before fully developed cognitive ability/confidence/control/all of that. Wonder where it's rooted, some religion, some social construct, new or old... indeed, seems like the research doesn't really weigh on these choices.

Yeah it was still that age span before fully developed cognitive ability. :) I don't know, might've been stupid of him but I don't like how Eminem handled it either. Happy MGK didn't just give in and apolagize. That wouldn't have been worthy either.

It's gonna be a while hmm. :)

Is one those things that's all the rage with the cool kids these days.

That's life pretty much.

Why are we talking about Digimon tho? also the art of those cards gets pretty lewd at times, i got pretty disappointed with the direction it took on the 2010's.

I don't know man, i keep telling people to start reading the manga, and they still stick with the anime, even if the manga is now being officially released worldwide for free, but i guess some people just want to see Luffy balance himself out on an edge while playing sumo wrestling for 6 minutes. BTW today's chapter 966 was incredible.

One Piece doesn't needs filler, they could adapt the cover stories, and with that give the anime viewer the context they have been missing for 2 decades, while also allowing the manga to advance, did you know that Crocodile got back with Mr 1 and has a new pirate crew and that they are on the new world? that's oooooold information that the anime never covered for example.

I can guarantee the other songs being deep, but Nookie definitively was deeper than most love songs, and the fact that the world at large took it at face value makes even better.

But being a producer has nothing to do with being an integral person, for example Kayne West has done a lot of crazy stuff, some quite questionable, but he is also a great musician, or another example, the creator of Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X) was arrested for being in possession of child pornography... but his manga is good, so... my point is that one thing doesn't implies the other.

Yes, and good fathers gonna put away the ones that cross the lines, between having a guy on his 20s or another teen eyeing your daughter, you will go with the teen.

Research doesn't weight at all, girls can get pregnant as early as 12, but man it would take a special kind of crazy to push the age of consent that far back.

Well you know, if you remember the kind of family Em had to grow with it is probable he wanted better life for his daughter, a dad that cares and is there, and keeping rappers that are already adults from trying their chances with his teenage daughter would fit in there.

Well MGK is already 29, time goes fast it wont that long.

Just listened to one I gotta link to: https://youtu.be/gpfpYTmohAk

...never thought I'd really start getting into jazz, but damn, NPC bring the best out of all possible genres...

They have so much energy, good Jazz is like that, you can feel them pop a lung.

Hmm. Started to be too old to hang with them cool kids these days, they might look at me strange.

Yupp.

Similar variations of similar things comparable to musical genres: tastes differ even with all their similarity. Digimon's getting lewder? Maybe I'd actually appreciate the new direction hmm...

Well I read up to book 62 I think, just really prefer the real thing over digital. Hope to catch up with the rest of 'em eventually but they're pretty expensive to buy one by one. So, waiting till either 1.) I'm rich or 2.) Someone sells their collection real cheap. Ah man temptations. :O

Oh, did not know that no! Would definitely make sense to animate those bits too...

Most love songs are pretty shallow yeah. Actually listened through their first album again today, packing presents. It doesn't really feel as amazing as the last time I heard it, maybe tastes are changin'...

Totally agree. Also +1 on manga-related author knowledge.

Sure, it's understandable, though if he really IS there or no... ah well, no matter how justified his response might've been I still don't feel it. Happy MGK stood up to him. Yelawolf agrees. Word up!

And we'll be 80-90 looking back at this beef like... well, whatever wise way we might look at it in another 50-60 years. Fond memories of a time before the great purge, AI takeover and obligatory PC chip implant laws that ultimately brought fourth the seventh world war.

And all that Jazz: agreed.

Merry Christmas btw!

Harpymon now has huge tits, and the new final boss is literally a giant naked woman with wings, so more power to you i guess.

Sorry missed the 't on the i can't guarantee back there.

Yellawolf is 10 years older than MGK and that makes it creepier.

A seventh world war, man i am surprised we made it through the other ones!

And happy new year!

Ooh nice! :O I never really been that deep into the Digimon world. Aesthetics sound improved, but at the same time enforces my notion that: Pokemon's better. I'll prolly stick with that.

Ah.

Ah man. XD Yelawolf feels like a pretty real dude though dude.

We might've been holed up in one of Mars bunkers during the fifth one. Not sure. Short term memory grows better with age but long term...

Happy New Year to you too! May it be all you wish it to be and way better also!

One man's torture is another's pleasure i guess. when it comes to the games pokemon has always been better, but i will fight people to defend the first 4 digimon anime, everything after the sixth one is trash, including the later movies.

Dude.

Bunkers in Mars that's neat.

No idea why we are talking about memory now but anyway.

Working memory does get impaired with age, but it doesn't happens to everyone nor is it an inevitable part of getting old, you can test this for yourself with the Digit Span test forward and backwards is a good for screening, specially the backward one, you can give it a try here: https://www.cambridgebrainsciences.com/science/tasks/digit-span#getstarted

As for long term memory, it either remains the same or worsens, but to improve with age, i don't know about that, what i do know is that it can remain healthy, similar to working memory or short term, you can screen for that one by trying to remember a long address, or just asking about 4 big historic events, a good test for that is the ACE-R: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addenbrooke%27s_Cognitive_Examination

Thanks man! i wish for your next year to be a great one too.

Ah the animes, haven't watched either of those, can't crack down on either. Trading cards though, that's where it was at!!!

Dude?

Yupp.

Well it was in regard to Mars and the flaky memories I may have of the fifth war when the time comes but: interesting. Have you done any of these yourself? How's your memory?

I remember reading something about memory being closely correlated to eyesight as well, which makes sense, considering visualization is a big part of the memorization techniques all the masters of the art seem to recommend. I have this, probably naive, hope that once I get my eyesight all better my memory will improve with it. You never know though! I shall research further and share my findings in blog form if such time comes.

Thank you!

That's were the wildin happens tho! oh right, you want the wildin... i feel like my childhood gets soiled when they put boobs on everything, and is not like Digimon never had them, far from it some digimon are all about being sexy, but the fan service is just shameless now, they even made BelleStarmon canon for fucks sake!

Dude!

Yeah they were part of a longer test protocol.

My memory is in good condition.

Some times people think that they have bad memory when what is failing is their attentional processes, and not necessary because they have an attention deficiency, it could be due to anxiety, being distracted by something else (a conversation, phone), or just having a careless attitude.

You could check for auditory memory just to make sure, both screenings i mentioned before can be applied without the need of visual stimuli, as a matter of fact the Digit Span test is based on the phonological buffer, which was postulated on a study on working memory which test were based on sound rather than visuals: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baddeley%27s_model_of_working_memory

Weren't boobs always on everything back then? My imagination was wild back in the day. Times done changed. But yeah, times done changed...

Dude...

Hmm or just trying to take in too much/being tired/not learning to properly commit things to memory by somehow going through them at the end of the day/during sleep/whenever? I feel like the more you consume the easier it is to forget, and probably for that reason. Certain moments get etched in memory forever, and they usually happen to be drawn-out moments, experiences, maybe there's a difference in what kind of memories your mind's more intent on preserving too, different from person to person...

Thanks, feels like I'd best prioritize some New Year stuff right now but: bookmarking these. I shall properly ascern the benefits on my brain on a less stressed and hopeful day.

I mean we had Angewomon and Ladydevimon catfighting each other, but that was it, now they just appear when you least expect it.

Dude.

Yeah that also affects attention.

Context and emotional meaning does make things easier to remember.

I mean you are young and functional so i wont really say you would need a neuropsychological screening, everyone has their ups and downs, but if you are really worried about it, you can always take one just for peace of mind.

Digimon is starting to sound way more interesting than Pokemon at this point though, we just had Jynx...

Dude~

Well no worries but it would be interesting to see how I compare. :) I'd like to get better at memorizing things, at least. Visualization techniques might be the next step.

We've been trading memories for a while though now huh.

I bet you will love this video that Plague of Gripes didn't upload to Newgrounds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNqtfFXq00k

DuDe

Sure, you could also use mnemonics, or other tricks, but developing better habits is more helpful, you know taking notes of things, writing memos, repetition is the trick to a lot of life.

Feeling like an old man? thinking about the time that has passed by? it has been a minute yeah.
