it hurts me when people label minor depression and rough comedowns from substances and alcohol as Mental Illness and highlight Mental Health. lotta these same people will easily turn their backs to someone having an actual episode. “weirdo” “crackhead” “problematic”

mental illness is often treated with backlash and the ill being ostrasized. ive had to endure some of life’s most painful moments and psychotic hurtful words screamed at me by someone i love dearly for 16+ years. abandoned by almost all her family+friends

teams and teams scrambling studying the stadium numbers, production recipes, and cancel-defying metrics while failing to realize that even today, its still all about the music. The Music!!!

More concern and pressure for Kanye than those in the Epstein files.

alot of people dont really care for art or its progression or its authenticity. they listen to music because its better than silence. they only listen to central cee and sabrina carpenter bc they childishly still believe new music equates to better music

Mark Zuckerberg just described the death of human connection on the internet and no one flinched. One sentence. Fifteen years of erosion in twelve words. Mark Zuckerberg: “Social media started out as people primarily interacting with their friends. And now… at least half of the content is basically people interacting with creators.” You used to open your phone to see what your friends were doing. Now you open it to watch strangers. You did not choose this. The algorithm chose it for you. It tested your friends against optimized strangers. Your friends lost. Every time. A stranger with better lighting, better timing, and a better hook held your attention three seconds longer than someone who loves you. So the algorithm buried your best friend’s wedding photos under a cooking video from someone in Dubai you have never met. And you watched the cooking video. That was the first replacement. Friends for strangers. You barely noticed. The second one is already underway. If the algorithm already proved strangers outperform your real relationships, and AI can now build a stranger more engaging than any human alive, the math finishes itself. The AI does not have a bad week. It does not post something careless and lose the algorithm’s favor. It does not burn out. Every word calibrated. Every frame tuned. Every pause placed at the exact interval that keeps your thumb from moving. A human creator competing against that is carving stone tablets in a world that just built the printing press. The economics are not even close. A person needs rent, sleep, and motivation. The machine needs electricity. When the cost of generating perfect content hits zero, the feed fills with faces that do not exist. Voices that feel familiar. Opinions that mirror yours just enough to feel like trust. Personalities built from scratch to feel like someone you have known for years. You will not know when the switch happens. That is the point. The feed does not care whether the thing holding your attention has a pulse. It cares whether you stay. And a machine that knows your patterns better than you know yourself will always keep you longer than a person ever could. This is not a warning. Half of it already happened. You lost your friends to strangers and did not notice. You will lose the strangers to machines and call them friends. Somewhere in a different app, in a different tab, in a room you are sitting in right now, someone who actually knows you is living a moment you will never see. Not because they stopped sharing it. Because you stopped being where it was.

i understand that youve been casting judgement on 160,000 people going to a kanye west show but uplifting bossmandlow and nba youngboy i seee…

unintentional bar

these soul samples make me tear up foreal..i love this shit more than life man

If you're intelligent, it's next to impossible to be happy. This place is designed for dumb, naive, morons.

You'd need to be paid $10,000 a week to have the same spending power as a kid working at McDonalds in July of 1971 The math says it's that bad now

i must admit, desperate streamers turning to masochism is really hilarious man

Lord, why does such ignorance exist in our world?

if you use ai to generate "music" you are a loser

streamers crashing out because they arent being given 50k a month in exchange for offering 0 value to society. get. a. fucking. job. u. bum. BUMS!

that new jill scott is magnificent

call him what you want, but 90% of celebrities are too chicken shit to live their lives this way many will see wasted potential. i see a human exercising his freedom giving 0 fucks

popular opinion

wild to think we’ve fast forwarded all the way here where mass surveillance is just accepted as the norm. its so bad that its actually strange not to record/stream/track everything/everyone 24/7 a police state was not forced on us, we freely accepted and adopted it

this has only emerged in recent times. all previous generations of rap/hiphop uplifted and collaborated with legends and elders
