I think you are making his point. As you grow older, you will revert back to the musics you grew up with. You won't be interested in contemporary musics anymore. So those music that was recorded before you were born are part of what you grew up with.

It's happening to me. These days I find myself loving and playing a lot of old Congolese musics which my pops was always binging on when we were kids. I have lots of fally ipupa though cos he can create something very similar to the 90s Congo musics. I'm not talking makosa o.

I've gone back to playing igbo gospel musics from likes of

Bro Okwey
Agape love
Voice of the cross
Patty Obasi
Etc etc
I heard their songs a lot as a kid, now it gives nostalgia..and refresh my memories back then.

My hip hop play lists are from 90s and early 2000s. I don't even watch sound city, MTV or whatever anymore.

Contemporary musics are everywhere you go, so you don't have to play it yourself to listen to them. This is how I get to know them. I don't have none of them on my Playlist except Davidos old musics when he was still hungry.
Not necessarily. I'm not a slave to era else I would not be jamming songs that came out before I was born. There's one or two songs from this era I can also tolerate but I'm just telling you the quality of music has progressively gotten worse across all genres.

I'm always laughing at Gen Z pretending like we Millennials are old grandpas. Like listen all this internet we started this shit. What do you know about Napster and Limewire? You're playing COD, We played MGS and Golden Eye. Na we go tell you as everything start cos we were both outside and inside

Me I listen to everything and it's not an age thing. I'm saying the music is just bad bar a few

Nigga I was on some Anita Baker, Aretha Franklin and Patti Labelle for my evening study. Damn those women sing nicer than "please and thank you“

I also ran through the top HipHop albums of 1994-1998 and the quality of lyricism was mindblowingly good.

I think the streaming and Tik-Tok era has done irreversible damage to musical artistry. You don’t have to be able to build a base anymore to get paid. Just make music that goes viral on shorts
Lol. I cannot listen to the garbage put out today and I will not apologize for it.

A lot of those women were really good too the era you listed. The ones that came after them Sade, Mary J, Whitney, Janet Jackson etc.

These people had real talent. Even the ones that didn't write their lyrics were at least exceptionally good at singing while the frauds like Milli Vanilli were quickly exposed.

It's almost like more technology has made us lazy and worse stupid.

@A40 remember I told you the Nuggets lack of depth will be a big factor? They have been 3/3 since J. Murray went down. They are 24th in bench scoring this season which is troubling.

They lost to a Cavs team without Spyder and C. LeVert. C. Braun is still the only player on the bench they can offer anything.
I think Michael Malone does not trust his bench enough which begs the question why didn't you get guys in the offseason. You have to give your bench a longer leash, if you don't do it now then when? you allowed Jeff Green and Bruce Brown (unavoidable loss I get it) walk

Guys like Watson, Strawther, Nnaji. Give them more time to play and make mistakes.

Any lack of depth they face is self inflicted. They don't have backup for Jokic (2023 DeAndre Jordan doesn't count) and Cleveland with Mobley and Allen did a really good job on Jokic. I've not seen a team slow him down that well in quite sometime

it simple means you are growing older

we all reach a point where we lock out 90% of contemporary music and focus on the music we listed to from age 12 to 30+ or so. anything after that is weird , not real music , 'whatever kids listen to these days '
But I listen to music that came out before I was born too. I have Commodores, Temptations, Earth Wind and Fire, Stevie Wonder, James Brown and Isley Brothers amongst many on my playlist.

The music today is garbage honestly. Bar a few. I actually feel bad for the kids growing up,

Wemby is foreign and exotic and once a narrative is started it is easier to lazily push it than reassess things.

At this early stage Chet is the better and more impactful player but let’s see how things progress. With Wemby’s potential, if things click for him later in the season things might get interesting.
It's deeper than that. Your situation also matters. Wemby's situation is not a particularly good one compared to Chet. This Spurs team is not set up to compensate Wemby's weaknesses. So I'm left wondering are the Spurs deliberately throwing these games or has Pop lost it.

Why the hell is a Jeremy Sochan a middling power forward playing PG.

Honestly they do not look like a team trying to win games. Almost like they are tanking for another lottery pick

Yep. This and on Very good efficiency too.. I still think wemby has the higher ceiling and GOAT potentials but Chet should be running away with the ROTY award
Till he becomes a ball handler or someone that can run an offense at an elite level I don't know he will ever be GOAT category. I always found that take a bit comical and an evidence that we're probably over hyping this kid.

Definitely has a higher ceiling than Chet but we're setting him up for failure if we put GOAT expectations on him. Zion should be a cautionary tale

That consistency is probably due to the age difference. They both have HOF potential though.
Which is why I was wondering why the entire media was so quick to crown Wemby Rookie of the Year, well unless Chet does not count as a rookie. I'm looking at this San Antonio Spurs team and they will lose minimum of 50-55 games this year.

Defensively disjointed and have a bunch of sankwa players that think they can play.

The Spurs will do well to weed out those that can and can't fit in with Wemby else his game will be stifled as well

Yeah Preme wasn’t involved in day to day operations but his money was involved and he rolled in those circles to some extent. As they say, every gangster wants to be a rapper and every rapper wants to be a gangster. He was part of the culture.

One of the reasons I have respect for 50 is that he is one of the few to have beef with almost all the bogeymen of hip hop and still walk away smiling.
When you're like 50 that has knocked on heaven's door you're less inclined to fear anybody

This is actually the hardest indictment of puffy as a producer and human being. Artistes literally do not grow with him. So much wasted potential. Look at Craig mack as another example. And Mase who blew up and walked away from it all.
It's a very bad trait. Not empowering those coming behind you. Though everyone has different work ethic but to have so many people signed under you and literally nobody blew up to stand on their own and have their own underlings says a lot.

It was pretty sad hearing Mase not too long ago cry about his Masters. I'm like this is nuts. How are you talking about Black Excellence everywhere and you still holding on to people's tool of freedom

The first time I read the news I knew it was all about the Benjamins ! The lady even though was way younger than Diddy when they were getting along doing all the shiii was an adult . She consented and some instances made herself available as an accessory / accomplice in the crimes she wants Diddy tried for .

She just want to use the knowledge she has about his activities to make money for herself and her household . She saw herself as a walking hard disk with so many incriminating evidences of Diddy's "other businesses " and she monetized herself
Everyone knows it was a shakedown. Cassie on her own merit which talent she get? Her relationship with Diddy is the sole reason she's relevant today but as Diddy way sef no pure he has to pay the tax of him ways.

At least this raba go make she comfortable for the foreseeable future.

Lesson to us men to have penis discipline so that small girls will not bring you to your knees. Woman will always be woman, if she say she no do again for whatever reason you help her pack. Forcing her to stay or pursuing her new man is not a flex but rather an indictment on you as a man

meanwhile the other day i was talking about how cassie must have had some bombass pzzy to lock down puffy for 10 years

i find the story hard to believe sha. these things are a pattern and i dont recall hearing/reading anything about puffy and sexual violence or grooming

if bill clinton and monica had not been outed then - today she might also be accusing him of rape and abuse.
Lol. Fvckin with Diddy turned Shyne to a Rabbi and Loon to an Alfa. That tells you everything you need to know about him.

Let's not even talk about the Usher incident and rumors of grooming. Diddy dey move mad, you should hear what 50 has to say about him. Go and watch Diddy on Drink Champs flirting with Fabolous 😂😂 and see how uncomfortable Loso was and that's a grown rich man at least 11-12 years my senior

I also find it curious that he's suddenly released everybody's Masters. Mase, Biggie's estate, Lox, 112.

R@pe is very hard to prove between partners sha, I'm more inclined to believe the violence, assaults and other stuff

Anyway na civil case so he will probably have to pay a hefty settlement and that will be that

The bolded is very true.

I have been a victim to that several time. A childhood friend once hit me with this. In this case, he said his kid was at the point of dead in the hospital. He needs financial assistance. I requested for his account and sent him money instantly. He called back the next day to appreciate me. I thanked God and thought that was it. After like 5days, he called again, requesting for money to buy food stuffs. I jejely told him that he have to look else where for assistance as well. His elder bro is in abroad. He has rich cousins who he can reach out to as well. He continued with the disturbance for long but I never responded again. This particular guy continued to breed like pig. His wife gave birth this year again...now he has about 5 or 6kids. He is always hitting me up on whatsapp and I have ignored all.
I have special disdain for people like this. I am actually the polar opposite. When I have I'd rather help a struggling man by himself than the one that has taken it upon himself to breed like a pig. We wey dey hold body 4 months a year and no dey born up and down na him no sabi fok abi?

I can empathize with someone with presence of mind not to bring an innocent kid into life of hardship but you wey dey born steady? I feel I'm enabling you. Cos in your spirit of pocket watching you would say in your head or tell me "shebi you never born wetin you dey use money do" or the kids get older and they start looking for they will dump them on and who will train them

Kids, a wife? Those are recurring bills and a struggling man has to travel light. Honestly I rather help a childless man than one with a wife and multiple kids
