Ima be real with you, and maybe it’s just the negro in me, but I wouldn’t be partying on stolen land next to an open air prison filled with 2 million people who have every reason to not like me…that’s a level of arrogance/obliviousness/callousness I can’t really grasp.
Noa was partying in the south of Israel in a peace music festival when Hams terrorists kidnapped her and dragged her from Israel into Gaza. Noa is held hostage by Hamas. She could be your daughter, sister, friend. #BringBackOurFamily

This is why AI sucks. It's made by people who literally do not understand the worlds their products are meant to service. People who want shortcuts above all. If you don't enjoy making music, or practicing, or playing an instrument, fucking quit. Don't make music.
“It’s not really enjoyable to make music now… it takes a lot of time, it takes a lot of practice, you have to get really good at an instrument or really good at a piece of production software. I think the majority of people don’t enjoy the majority of time they spend making

White people get to be oblivious and carefree in ways I literally will never comprehend because when you exist in a black or brown body every action you take is political. No part of my brain would be like great idea, I’m going to this music festival next door to Gaza.

One of these men influenced an entire generation while his flow and style was co-opted by the best selling rap artist of the last decade and the other is J Cole.
Question for the hip hop enthusiasts: which Carolina emcee is higher on YOUR goat list and why? Phonte or J Cole? No wrong answers here

Gonna be an asshole about this but if you’re a producer who samples and you’re sampling the most lazy and obvious shit, don’t come on the internet crying about artists stealing your beats. They didn’t steal your beat somebody else just had the same lazy idea

Oontz Oontz is an onomatopoeia for a kick and an open high hat pattern, it’s not even a value judgment, nor is it inherently pejorative. Y’all don’t need to be upset about everything.
“Oontz Oontz” is a micro-aggression, suggesting Black-rooted forms of dance music are so indistinct & lacking in complexity that they can be summed up by the sounds of an infant. This has largely been the discourse on Black dance music for the history of recorded sound. 💥.
