@DragonflyJonez@OIThirty10 Doing it in New York… if KAT pulls this off and has a good series (not even great) anytime someone slanders his name Knicks fans will appear like the Walruses from finding Nemo verbally assaulting them
@DragonflyJonez It just felt like Nas got it worse because Oochie Wally is torture… it sounded dated the day it came out.
Sunshine at least had the excuse of being before electronic music really found it’s culturally footing, Sunshine sampled Kraftwerk
@DragonflyJonez and @JenkinsAndJonez this sports and geography trivia mashup has the family sports group chat in a headlock: https://t.co/XD2HcVMpH1
You use a global map and tap the answer (sports trivia where answer is city)… speed and proximity to location determine points.
@DragonflyJonez From a time you could rap about raising daughters alongside Lauryn Hill on a flatbed truck drenched in purple and neon lights and you could play it at parties/clubs or driving on 95 with the boys
@DragonflyJonez@K_Skibs13 The worst part is, the “new media” proved to be just as vitriolic… but I can feel the change coming, ratings for shows like First Things First tell me people want good vibes again
@DragonflyJonez@K_Skibs13 Agreed, but the step back for me is I’d rather have them be boring than deal with a$$holes like Boomer, SAS, etc. twist answers and magnify social media poison. If empathy was present, kids could be themselves. Media lashed out at a reporter for being kind to a coach after a game
In my mom’s defense… her teenage years were “shimmy shimmy coco bop” which is another century/planet from Positive K’s “I gotta man” which a 6th grader did for the talent show. She never had a chance
I got so much “rap is crap” in the early 90’s, but this was also when 7/8 year old me dropped Michael Jackson for Nirvana, Pearl Jam, etc which they also didn’t get/like
God bless Flav for dropping “fuck him and John Wayne” which I made SURE my dad heard to tease him
Pops was passively anti rap. Like ehh rap just isn’t my thing. Ma dukes was very proactively anti rap. Like would change the radio channel in the car in the middle of a rap song. Would be in the middle of a rap song I was vibing to and she’d be like where the fuck is Anita Baker
Yup. Also, remember when roasts were among friends? Now it’s just a collection of buzzy comics and celebs. The George Floyd joke only happened because he didn’t have any material reflective of actually knowing Kevin. They suck now
The funny is rarely even there to begin with whenever we have these discussions tho. It’s usually folks fighting for the right to say the same tired, unoriginal jokes. This is all over some dude saying George Floyd is in hell. Wow man supreme comedic genius on display right there
