I told a story with my track selections, a clever person woulda picked up on that

Nine songs about selling drugs and shooting people and one song about black people being unfairly targeted by police. A classic!

you're welcome for me reviving your thread, Brass =p



:upsidedow








and a diff kind of gangsta track (watch the vid for context)

I got to meet that little ass clown DMX on miami beach one day. The guy was a complete idiot and cried like a baby as he was stuffed into the back of a police car.

cry like a bitch Cuzz

dunno why he was crying obv, was prob drunk/high and tired of going to jail for the millionth time. a friend of mine used to run a website called IsDMXinJail.com. all you had to do was click the url to find out. it was updated often

he was/is still one of my fav artists, his music was like an intimate diary he chose to share with us. think of 'Slipping'; no one here has ever felt that way? if not, you are far too well-adjusted to be hanging out here :upsidedow

a man with a lot of inner demons, but he shared them so beautifully. loved his more vibesy tracks as well, just making the point that he was extraordinary at conveying his issues without giving in to them

resting in peace I hope

cheers to an extraordinary man

on a cheerier note...

what I love about the video (and lyrics) for Close Your Eyes and Count to Fuck is how well it illustrates that the system is the problem

sure there are bad cops, but there are also decent ones. but both are trained within the same system that instills attitudes about racialized bodies, creates (or reinforces) biases, and sadly how often to escalate rather than diffuse interactions with Black, Brown and Native people

look at the cop towards the end of the track, sitting on the stairs looking so despondent, like why am I even doing this? cuz that's how they're trained. it's so fucked up. and he knows it

same with the court systems in NA; severity of penalty (or even conviction) often really depends on how one looks and ignores the differences in backgrounds between the racialized poor and white middle class peeps

also gov policies. think of the impact on generational wealth when returning Black WW2 soldiers were denied low to no interest housing loans given to white soldiers and their fams

think of Native kids torn from their homes, communities and cultures to be starved, beaten, sexually abused and killed in residential 'schools'. think about the psychological and economic impact on those who survived

this shit isn't ancient history, it's a partial explanation for the issues racialized communities face to this day

governance, policing, prison and court systems need to be burned the fuck down or fundamentally restructured, and constructive alternatives to prison for non-violent crimes created

in sum: it's not about victimhood, it's about recent history, and a set of sick systems that ultimately harm us all

hope you get what I mean, even if you don't agree

sure OHL would have a field day with this but sure he's here in spirit :upsidedow

there u go Cuzzin

what Cuzz?

question: can all y'all actually see all the tracks in this thread? for me 8 of them are:

https://i.imgur.com/ylBbpql.png

including one Brass had posted just hours earlier yesterday

frustrating cuz I actually want to see/listen to what y'all post

sometimes it's just a formatting error, I can do 'inspect element' and find the URL which will work on yt, but sometimes even then, nada, just takes me to some yt homepage-like thing

wasn't sure if it was a regional blocking thing for some tracks, so tried a US-based IP and still the same result

is it just me? like wtf, seriously

wondering if anyone else encounters the same? it's happened before, not just in this thread

frustrating as fuck

I can listen to most of them right here on the thread. The few that I can't listen to on GFY, I have to open YouTube.

I get this message:

Video unavailable
This video contains content from LatinAutor - UMPG, who has blocked it from display on this website or application
Watch on YouTube

yeah,no matter what I do (page source,inspect element, clicking the yt button on the error embed, I even logged into a friend's google account to see if that made a difference but nope. same fucking thing. unavailable

sucks cuz the fun of these threads is other peeps stuff. I'll just pretend you're all posting T.I. and Gambino (staying in to work and this is my vibe tonight) :upsidedow

Best intro for a Rap Album



Sometimes I really miss New Orleans, but no wifey for me there.

jesse turn off ad blocker... they added something i can't figure out what blocks embeds.

gracias Brass for your input (you as well Falcon) but I don't even use an adblocker

perplexing, was wondering if it was just me this happens to, and like I wrote above most of the time I can get the yt URL from page source if I get the error message

most tracks are viewable, a few I need to do page source, but with a small handful it's like they don't even exist on yt

so fucking weird

c'est la vie and thanks again, now back to the music
