I think it's hyper regional, and the success of "sometimes I rhyme slow" and "hip-hop junkies" has kinda misdirected anyone who wasn't there or hasn't delved more deeply into that history to their follow-up

does it? I remember 20-25 years ago it was thought of as an essential classic. I feel like half the album got some form of radio or club play… and the b-side “no bones in ice cream” is a perfect rap song

lol all those rich new yorkers on the city bus
you see it all the time

the public: "handle it by taxing rich pe--"
establishment politicians: "...means testing poor people? 🥺👉👈"

I did earlier this year and had this same take. way better than I gave it credit for the first time around

I think the degree to which people cared and bought into it was the less believable part!

was gonna say yeah I’m still not down with that plotline

hahaha I am literally Swedish Chef throwing shit in the air, pots and pans stacked akimbo, sink full of shit. I always clean and scrub down after. but it drives the wife crazy

heard about a 6 year old player who has an IG reel already and certain sports parents are testing my abolitionism

watching journalism do all this *gestures wildly* the last decade I feel like we kinda owe The Wire season 5 an apology

even with more or less the same curation this is the functionally/experientially the place I go for alarmist trump stuff and dry music stuff :-/

did you see “the bear omelette” which involved running the beaten eggs through a sifter? ppl swore it’s a revelation. but u know what I ain’t doing all that

The photos made me do it

Whole album sounds like it was recorded in a Mott Haven stairwell. Real GOAT shit.

🔥🔥🔥

and idk man as far as the evolution of music in New York City I guess either you see the continuity to shit or you just don’t get it. everything is in dialogue and even when it seems like separate communities within the city are doing their own thing, the vibration radiates.

RIP Eddie Palmieri. One of 3-4 guys whose music really opened my head up when I first arrived in New York.

I got to see him at summer stage as headliner of the Body & Soul party. Indelibly etched in my mind. His electric piano overheated and he still led the band. Indelible memory

gotta try Paladin. and the one on Glisan/28th I always forget the name of. and No Saint. great pizza town

this is so harsh.

just a terrible look for the city

slide bravely

yeah vegas is like most cities in that the boom years kind of ruined what was originally a cool place

well, at least within SF. I guess Total Dev could be from west berkeley. or san jose

there's no way shit like this isn't an elaborate grift/tax scam. right?

this exact dynamic nearly ruined the city of Berkeley and only through aggressive housing build (over kicks and screams of the retired prof class) has it come back from the brink

the total devastation thing is funny bc like... if you know the bay... some XIV-adjacent Mexican stoner rappers could *only* be from one place
