These names are we talking about feudal lords up in here. when y'all talk about futbol all I can picture is a couple of European aristocrats with their pinkys up in the air sitting in around a round table surrounded by bland food and maps with future slave sites marked out.

loool, is that the perception of the sport by the less enthused in the US? FWIW, Football has historically always been a sport for the lower class (like basketball, I guess?). In the UK especially (Rugby players are typically posh as anything, which may surprise you). Many Brazilian players came up in favelas too, never mind your typical African star. Personally, I grew up playing in alleyways and attempting Beckham FKs with my boy aiming at our street sign.

Metaphorical music over Modal Soul?

Both classics, but MM is the ATLiens to Modal Soul's Aquemini for me.

Lady Brown, Beat Laments the World, Uyama-sama making that sax cry on Letter from Yokosuka, then switching it up with the heavy drums, scratches & shakuhachi in assistance on Next View. Shing02 delivers on F.I.L.O., and Final View (the atonal sax spazzing out during the vocal kinda takes you on a trip to a dope jazz cafe) just gives me feelings of nostalgia for no reason.

Love that album.

Actually, I've seen some people shit on it for being snobby and others shit on it for being a 3rd world poverty sport or whatever (usually NFL stains). Yeah, it's definitely not an aristocrat thing. Them man's play polo and golf and shit like that.

Chelsea this season is what happens when a top team actually addresses their needs with world class quality. Excellent business this summer.

Not sure if y'all are aware but it has come down to a pretty close vote between Mariah and one of her fans in the first round of the POPGAF tourney of all-time faves. I need some of you to tip the scales in the favor of common sense and hip-pop legend and PM Soulscribe your vote for Queen Mariah. Thanks in advance. :)

Mariah all day

Metaphorical music over Modal Soul?

Kumomi
Lady Brown
Latitude
Blessing It
Letter from Yokosuka

I don't particularly think Metaphorical Music is much better than Modal Soul, but I think it's a bit more consistent.

see it's tough for me (and i did notice Modal was on there kinda late) because

Feather
Reflection Eternal (one of my favorites)
World's End Rhapsody
Horizon

on Metaphorical i'd add to Esh's list

Beat laments the World
Summer Gypsy

can't go wrong with either, and i'm too hung over ot choose. you're my dude if you put either on your list.

Laurel Halo is better than Grimes.
Yeah, Laurel Halo is dope, more interesting than Grimes.

Gonna listen to Nujabes later. Need to calm it down a bit. Tired of the shit at work man. I pick up trash from the tables and a server comes saying I could get in trouble for throwing away her receipt (the signed copy). I politely apologize, I mean she should get the check and pre-bus her table anyway. She goes and tells a few servers, talking shit, w/e I can get over it. Then she tells the GM who she's close to. I get a few looks from him, and when I'm rolling silverware he passively says finish the basket and that I'm being sent home. Not serious trouble, but are you fucking kidding me? This lady has fucking 40 years on me (she's probably 60 for real) and she's going around talking shit about a person who never gets complaints from coworkers? Wow dude. I'm tired of this shit. Was about to flip out on her. Fuck outta here. I never snitch on the servers for leaving ungodly amounts of shit on their tables.

Venting a bit.
 
Soccer is alright, but it's too much back and forth honestly. I feel like I'm wasting so much energy if I play forward. Like my energy isn't rewarded on the same efficiency as say on the basketball court where even at five five I feel as though I can impose will.

Have you played fifa tho? I think it might be the most fun sports game because of how methodical the passing game can get

Can we talk about this gif?

Something about busta's energy in this is just so platonic, brehs. I feel like he just went on a day long treat yourself day with Mariah. They went and got mani-pedis, cucumber face masks, a nice massage, and then they ate a dinner of mixed field greens and quinoa together while discussing recent events in chic parts of NY before filming this video.
 
Talib and Raekwon must have recorded this after a good nights sleep. Good breakfast. They went on a morning jog together and discussed the song. Then went back to talibs condo and played some super Nintendo. Had tofu for lunch and then hit the studio.

Whatever they did it worked, this is fire.

That OT thread is amazing.

So, I assume everybody is just going with the trolling to keep the thread going? No actual person would write shit like "Kendrick might be an exception, but a large majority produce shit like what I mentioned. That's why I like indie and pop. Quality is much better."

Fuck her, restaurant I worked at had a type like that. Had been working at this pancake house for near on 30 years, and let everyone know that by wearing her classic style uniform (some shit-garish floral vest as opposed to the solid aprons rest of the servers wore). Acted like king shit, would be short with everyone else and tattle on every little thing to the managers.

She was a normal, inoffensive enough person during breaks, so maybe I shouldntve been a little happy when she was fired after the managers found she'd been giving her regulars free fruit and drinks to get better tips for about 10 years

Think about it this way, if your GM is any good he sent you home because he knew your coworker wasn't going to shut up about it and focus on her job as long as you were there.

If your GM sucks and was siding with her, well fuck, it's just a temporary job anyway. As Irish said, motivation to get on your grind and find something else as you were mentioning earlier.
