I watched The Odyssey today on IMAX as the good lord intended.
Fucking fabulous film. Visually it was spectacular and the music is just 🤌 Ludwig Göransson is truly a generational talent. I look forward to seeing the cast and crew reuniting over awards season 😂
TOP THREE INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE ODYSSEY (Christopher Nolan)
1. HADES SCENE:
the actors were buried beneath the ground with snorkels breathe through, allowing them to slowly emerge from the earth on camera. Not CGI.
2. THE CYCLOPS:
it's a 20-foot-tall puppet, which was built by the same artist who created TARS, the fan-favorite robot from Interstellar.
Christopher Nolan once again said hold my cup.
3. THE SHIP
Christopher Nolan had a 115-foot ship built i for the film so the cast could actually sail it instead of pretending on a soundstage.
My biggest takeaway from this Hip Hop interview is something that I’ve always known, but it’s nice to be reminded of.
Jay-Z/Roc-A-Fella/Roc Nation have been immensely important and influential to hip-hop, music, and culture in general for the past 30 years.
The Roc family tree has extended far beyond the artists who are typically associated with the label.
They have helped shape the entire industry and have directly or indirectly influenced everyone.
From artists, producers, engineers, A&Rs, artists management, publishing, songwriters, executives, business, fashion, sports, etc.
Everyone has either signed to them directly, have been managed by them, or have sought their guidance to get their affairs in order.
And they’ve always been there to help. Even when there’s nothing for them to gain and they’re used as scapegoats for someone else’s bad decisions.

No comments from any of the usual Twitter activists who stand for victim advocacy. No thinkpieces about how money gets you out of things. No essays about abuse of power. Just a brief mention as it slooowly falls off the radar.
Rome Streetz speaks on the influence of Roc Marciano & Westside Gunn in hip hop today:
“Them dudes is like the leaders of the culture. Roc Marci damn near started this sht…Westside Gunn took that sht to a different level, he made that sht mainstream.
Conductor Williams…off of a Westside Gunn song, he got sht with Drake…Roc Marci was literally one of the first to just make his own sht, put it out and be like this is what it is, fck the industry sht.”

Kyambo 'Hip Hop' Joshua says that Drake sued him 'for letting' him sign a deal that ended up having too many entities sharing the profits, like J Prince, Cortez and Birdman.
Congratulations to Sony PlayStation on winning the award 🏆🏆🏆for the most hated company in the world. It’s honestly impressive how you managed to burn decades of goodwill and legacy with a single post, while proving that even in difficult times, greed always comes first. That’s truly an impressive achievement.
