It doesn't take any real effort to "launch" a cryptocurrency, all you need is the software (which is free and open-source), a web site, and a funny name/image. All those currencies are functionally identical clones of bitcoin, just with different networks of users.

You show all the signs of a stereotypical GBS/D&D poster when talking about rap in one post, even down to the "Reagan" link, here's the best D&D track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-v-rIWUAQuI Also, Kendrick has loads of socially concious songs you just happened to pick one line from one song and dismiss him completely.

Gozinbulx posted:Just listened to some Kendrick Lamar for the first time. Seems the same old lame party poo poo thats been passing for rap for the last couple of years, including such thought provoking social commentary such as "I wish my dick was as big as the eifel tower" He doesn't have many party songs. "The Recipe" is one, I guess. KL is known for being anti-alcohol, one of his most famous songs, "Swimming Pool (Drank)" being about alcoholism, and not smoking weed often. Rap songs, just like novels, use unreliable narrators at times. I'm guessing you skipped around a few songs and listened a but without actually really hearing or trying to interpret the lyrics and made a judgement based on that. It's analogous to, say, skimming through Lolita and immediately dismissing it as a puerile sexual fantasy, or seeing the title of "Dulce et decorum est" and immediately pigeonholing it as jingoistic drivel, or some poo poo. That specific "Eiffel tower" lyric, by the way, is a comment on constructs of masculinity which young boys adopt. Here's a brief clip where Kenrick talks about it

I always read that song as at least somewhat taking the piss out of bragging rappers. Gozinbulx, you should seriously give the album another go. Its fantastic but it took me two full listen before it clicked. The title track is loving epic and it sounded like mad garbage the first time I heard it.

If you listen to the skit at the end of Vibe, it is Lamar's friends egging him on to freestyle in the back of the car (same white Toyota from other songs). The whole point is that it is the foolish wishes of young kids who just want the trappings of what they perceive as the rapper / masculine lifestyle. Also as a fun fact, he did the entirely of Backseat Freestyle in 2 takes. The entire album is a non-linear narrative which makes it confusing at times but incredibly well constructed as a complete work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctB5drtuerQ

On the subject of rap, Jedi Mind Tricks have an upbeat spin on the Vietnam war: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGZsGX3B_BY Edit:better video McConnell and Rand Paul have recently influenced energy costs, screwing the Pacific Northwest to the benefit of their constituents: quote:The deal crafted by Senator Mitch McConnell, the minority leader, and Senator Rand Paul, a libertarian, required the federal agency that owns hydroelectric dams in the Pacific Northwest, the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), to pay $700 million for uranium fuel that could have been purchased on the open market for just $450 million.

Spending a couple pages discussing a huge part of American music culture is surely a cardinal sin in the face of how much good we could have done for the Ukraine in that period of posting.

 Obama to raise minimum wage for government contract workers quote:President Obama will announce in the State of the Union address Tuesday that he will use his executive power to increase the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour for workers on new government contracts, fulfilling a top demand by liberal lawmakers and groups, according to a White House document. Hopefully this will increase the quality of life for many Americans. It ought to make things better for the folks that only work 32 or 25 hours a week. I'm glad I voted for Obama.
