This is very cool, Brother Ali is one of the best rappers active in my opinion so to say I was on the same podcast as him is awesome

Posting on this app (and social media in general) often feels like trying to get someone’s attention by whispering but you’re in a crowded stadium full of people screaming at the top of their lungs. Just thankful for the few people around me who hear my whispering and acknowledge it

Just over a year ago Winnipeg lost one of our brightest rising musical stars, Caid Jones (Cayden Carfrae). I was fortunate enough to interview Caid for Stylus Magazine back in 2021. Read the full piece here: ckuw.ca/stylus/2021/...

Lol ok. Or one of the greatest wordsmiths of our generation calling out what he feels are the injustices committed by a peer in a creative and frankly revolutionary manner on the greatest stage the world has to offer

Only way Kendrick’s show coulda been better is if he brought out YG to do “Fuck Donald Trump” But this, this is excellent

When you're an artist and you have access to something as mainstream as the halftime show, you had better use it to be subversive and radical and fuck me if Kendrick didn't do it all and more.

He made a whole lotta old ass white people mad just by being there and that’s revolutionary enough

Now in 2025 it should be clear: There’s no one else coming. No one else is going to stop Trump. No one else is stepping up. We are all there is. We are all that there will be. We are, as they say, the ones we’re waiting for. It's time to get to work. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/today-righ...
