Sports is like dopamine, its just crazy.
Yaya Toure said on a recent podcast that he wakes up everyday, feeling useless, he probably does not know what to do with his life, he said his kids ask him why he's not happy.
Bro misses the game, he misses the routine, he misses the dressing rooms, he misses 70,000 screaming his name, he misses the adrenaline rush when he hits a 50-yard pass, its just crazy.
Imagine playing football everyday from like 5 years old till 35 years old, you retire and all of a sudden, you don't know what to do with your life, because you've done nothing else all your life. You suddenly become a stranger on earth.
This is why many of them do their coaching badges before they retire, they go right back into it like they never left, others become pundits, commentators, youth coaches, sports ambassador, they just cannot fucking leave the game, its an addiction.
This is what made them who they are, this is what makes them feel important, they miss the love shown by millions of people around the world, so I understand Serena.
Give credit to those who leave it and never look back. Yeah, give credit, because it's hard.
they stay all the time lmao😂 they just don’t publicize it like women do. if you cheat on a man and nobody else knows and he cheated first, if you beg the right way 8/10 he’ll stay. but IF somebody else told him, or there’s an audience, he’ll leave because his ego can’t stomach what his heart can.
Both very talented lyricists
Kendrick is incomparable as far as conceptual depth and conceptual avant garde structures go, which is what you were describing
but who is the better rapper lyrically; the answer is J Cole , and the why … he is stronger in respect to punchlines , clarity, technical schemes/wordplay …
if we are just talking mastery of lyricism and rapping at their core elements, Cole is better at multi-syllabic rhyme density & extended metaphors presented with intricate schemes & patterns served at conversational level transparency.
Where kdot frequents a need to bend his voice, Cole makes use of flawless , unyielding pockets. I always like going back to Johnny P’s caddy to explain this cause it’s so simple for most to understand “ On the night I was born, the rain was pourin', God was cryin , Lightnin struck, power outages, sparks was flyin'. Thats use of internal assonance and a perfect scheme without sacrificing narrative clarity.
Where Kendrick relies on theatrical vocal shifts , jcole relies more on cadence and textbook penmanship,technical precision & the ability to construct multilayered bars that not only land but do so with such clarity … he is technical yet clear , complex and methodically in his input and construction but without losing you in the delivery.
and well story telling is a toss up depending on what preference and what you consider a good story.
When your plans are backed by resources and money no amount of announcements will change the outcome. However when they are backed by hope and favours, announcing them makes the outcome feel fragile.
If I have R3M to buy a car, what can possibly change the outcome if I announce?
Ok this is going to be long , a story of great advertising and perhaps an amazing product in these streets . So I was standing in the parking bout to go into the mall, & mind you it’s slightly drizzling , this man pops up out of nowhere starts talking fasting and advertising his product,
he throws some dirt all over the Range Rover door, am talking mud and grime, whole door looking crazy, he sprays like 3 pumps of this product and wipes quick before I can say noooo you are gona scratch the paint, whole door looks amazing, brand new!! I light up,
I guess he saw he had me so he decided to take it further & put mud all over the Range Rover’s wind screen , the man climbing on the hood to get the windscreen properly dirty, in my head am like WTF, this is a 2025 car barely 6months old and it costs both our lives 😮💨😭 ? Why would you do that? Then after the Range’s windscreen was down right filthy, bro man sprays his product, maybe 4 or 5 pumps across & wipes the whole windscreen and it looks amazing, crystal clear & he says it even makes the windscreen water proof , most of the rain will just roll right off . I am so gobsmacked .
He looks at me and says it also does Tyres too, am like no way… am so stunned I hardly hear him when he says your Range Rover is still new this will protect the rims from scratches and clean all the brake dust, on the rims , remove all dirt and make it harder for mud or anything to stick , homie sprays the 2 right Tyres , like 2 pumps of product on each and gets them looking amazing in under 2minutes am like damn, I all but clapped for this man ,
Anyway as I am about to walk away he says I have a special for you cause I love your Range Rover, give me 450 and get 2 cans that will last you 6months and a free cloth. Am like oh , that’s not my Range Rover but you know what … , then my phone rings and I wake up .. think I was about to tell him he did really good or something
That’s because Zimbabweans are the ones making them now. We all now they can’t cook and once restuarants hire them the food standards drop drastically😒🤢🤮
….for months on end because they didn’t want to be possibly noticed by someone they know at the HIV clinic where they collect the Arv’s? 2025 & someone’s HIV advances to AIDS because of stigma 😞we truly are moving backwards where this is concerned
I literally have someone close to me who defaulted in 2025 all because of the shame of being seen collecting their medication. This person literally chose to neglect the only thing that they very well know they NEEED,….
