This video is half the reason I started liking Waka Flocka. Shit is so funny to me

Hahaha, I hadn’t noticed that

This is off of Blac Sabbath by Blacastan, which is the topic this week for our Weekly Book (Album) Club.

If only so I can see how they get him/her inside Air Force One, yes.

Honestly, him dying is very real concern to me. If Republicans keep the House and he passes away, I can certainly see somebody trying to do something to Kamala Harris, as the Speaker of the House is next in line after the Vice President.

That said, I’d vote for Joe Biden if he was fucking 110, if the other option was Donald Trump. Or any Republican honestly.

Not somewhere I had considered looking but we have one nearby, I’ll check it out

I was actually looking in to that last night. I’ll probably try it once but I do wonder if the time it would take would be worth the money saved.

This is a neat idea, I’ll give it a shot next time we have some!

Maybe one of these two? First is the video on a different channel, second is just the song without the video

One

Two

We are very much not local, but I see they have some stuff 20% out so we might check it out! Thank you!

I’ve experienced that at a friend’s house and I don’t prefer it over just using our existing wax burner, if we are going to do something flameless. They were very pleasant smelling though!

This is the route that we go too actually, I just hate having to wait for sales haha

Honestly, we normally burn them for ~6-7 hours at a time when we light them. We both work from home and I’ll usually light it up the first time I get up from the computer. It doesn’t happen with nicer candles, but some of the cheaper 1 wick ones we get from Walmart or Aldi will tunnel like that even with the long burns.

Not my GPU but my friend’s. He has nothing but good things to say about it. $600 USD which translates to ~£540, but obviously buying it over there the price might be different .

Megan is just sort of eh to me normally but I love the production on this. Wish more artists would do rock/metal elements on their beats. Whoever produced this killed it.

I really like Tierra, she is always doing something different. The Pop/R&B/Rap trio of EPs she dropped were super fun.

On topic, the music box sample on this really shouldn’t work, but I love it.

This is a busy day/week for me at work, so I’ll have to keep this short.

This album is very much a product of the time, so before I start I’ll mention some obvious stuff that doesn’t hold up super well. The beats can be repetitive and the rhymes/flows, my modern standards, are terrible. If a modern rapper came out sounding like this, nobody would buy that album.

Now that that is out of the way, I love this album. When I first got in to rap (outside of weird underground stuff), this is the sort of stuff I listened to. I was in my “modern rappers just rap about bitches and money, old rapers rapped about real stuff” phase. While I outgrew that phase, it is nice to hear some blatantly political rap. I checked and this was the fifth best selling rap album of 1988, beaten by “Straight Outta Compton”, “Eazy-Duz-It”, “He’s the DJ, I’m the Rapper” and “Life Is…Too $hort”. Not bad to be behind NWA, Eazy-E, Will Smith (and DJ Jazzy Jeff) and Too $hort. I also fucking love the scratching on some of these beats. That old school sound of a DJ scratching records always gets me hype.

Favorite track is Bring the Noise and Show 'Em Whatcha Got. Bring The Noise is a classic and I just really like what they did with the saxophone sample on Show 'Em Whatcha Got.

I’ll check them both out, thanks!

Much appreciated! That will be part of my weekend I guess
