OTOH look what they did to the jays. at least black/gold is a bit timeless. that nightcore they got going on looks like it was designed on fiverr 12 years ago

resetting might be the wrong term but if you downloaded your ram it's not a bad idea to periodically uninstall and reinstall it

i rock with boxcutter pazzy because he's an interesting guy. lives that life. he has a lot more to talk about. a lot darker than em. i like that he can go conspiracy. he can speak from the heart. he can straight up body a verse. sometimes he's in a mood. and heavenly divine is lyrical mastery shoutout to jus allah who in his own right might be one of the best lyricists ever.

fear of a black hat? it's one of those 90s mockumentaries where they parody public enemy. it's a hilarious movie watch it if you can

how do you close a bag that's been ripped down the seam because I have no coordination

100! honestly JMT happened at exactly the right era in the early 2000s. that was the golden era of internet conspiracy before social media. on my screen i'd watch vids of zeitgeist and bilderberg and on my headphones i'd listen to JMT break it all down. that era was pure vibes.

that's a good detail, one of the hallmarks of JMT/AOTP is their tilt towards conspiracy and folklore. clearly stoupe understood the assignment. on that topic shout-out to stu bangas who produced legend of the 3rd degree for apathy.

almost always when i'm looking for peripherals i hit up a salvation army. my most recent haul was Logitech z2300 speakers for $12.

i also remember a time when a good gamer friend of mine passed away. his wife asked if we wanted his gear, we told her to donate it to a place that could use that sort of hardware, like a design college as he was into game design. she misunderstood and took all his stuff to goodwill lol.

fact. he belongs up there with mathematics and ali shaheed and Q and maybe even premier. every time i hear that babygrande intro i know some fire is coming.

poshmark has always been only bots for me. i had 33 items for sale and after every one i posted I got walloped by "people" liking and sharing my listings within the first 10 minutes then it would fall off like a cliff. i have never managed to sell an item on posh despite all that attention. all those items have since been sold on marketplace.

it's not the fly being down that's embarrassing it's random people staring to see if i'm going commando

fun story, L's brother was supposed to go with one of his homies to the Run DMC concert but had to drop out so he took L instead. L credits them directly with sparking his passion for rhyming.

and btw, 140th and Lenox in Harlem was renamed to Lamont Coleman Way . just felt like throwing that in.

those are certainly some takes. like i said, i have no idea what to say to you. what you think big L would become is conjecture, you're no more correct than i am, it's one of hiphop's great unanswered questions. but you're also not willing to accept anything i say, nothing any other of those big players say, so who will you listen to? idk, you say he was nothing, i point out he was part of a hugely infulential group, and your response is so what . can't win lol.. he's an all-time great and that ain't controversial nor is it revisionist history.

listen man you got face tats. opinions aside it's a powerful aesthetic so you need clothes to match or even subdue your tats. look into Japanese selvedge and raw denim. think you'd look great with selvedge jeans and a selvedge trucker jacket, plain tee or tank top. avoid streetwear unless you want to look like a fortnite character.

there are a lot of pure hiphop heads in here. you usually find them in the comments they ain't usually posting threads. hiphop history isn't discussed too much but this might be one of the better subs to get recommendations worth listening to. still, if you asked about a nuanced take, you'd get decent responses.

ask in r/japanesestreetwear . these are just trousers, likely just a specific type of twill and cut with an uncommon taper by western fashion trends.

the type of pants you're looking for are more commonly called commuter pants. someone mentioned Lulu ABC, another option (the ones I like) are Theory (Zaine) Neoteric. But you'll find these regularly, most brands have some variation of this and often with different materials and weaves. from the mall i liked the ones RW&Co have, they felt like a light twill. i didn't buy them though.

he just didn't matter in real life

yeah idk what to say to you. maybe you just see it differently which is fine but i've gone my entire life hearing rappers speak nothing but respect on his name. and for a guy who didn't matter he had way too many artists familiar with his game.

He was poised to be the next Jay-Z, the next Nas - fat joe

he scared me to death..i couldn't compete - nas

he was the main guy in DITC, an undisputed influence on the entire east coast rap game. so.
