100 percent watered the numbers. I agree there. But there’s probably only a handful of rappers right now that can have a successful international tour, and if you can manage that in today’s environment, you’d probably be in the mix with the cultural icons 30-40 years ago. In 1987 when MJ Bad was out there was 40-50 rap albums released, google AI says approximately 400–500k rap albums/mixtapes released to major streaming platforms last year lol i guess my point is, standing out and selling out tours competing against 10 million artists with a laptop and a mic seems just as hard as getting a record deal in 1985, and shouldn’t be compared but also shouldn’t be discounted. Classic Kobe vs Michael Jordan unc talk from Charla lol

@veezy5000 @HotNewHipHop Except 30 years ago people would walk into a music store and preview the album before they bought it. Today those previews count towards the sell. Streams have watered down the metric.

Charlamagne tha God reacts to Drake breaking Michael Jackson's Billboard record, saying a lot of Drake's music doesn't have the same "cultural impact" as Michael Jackson's:
"This is why I say numbers lie. 'Cause does Drake have the numbers? Yes. Does Drake have music that will stand the test of time? Yes. But, we know that a lot of the music that Drake makes does not have the cultural impact of an 'Off the Wall' or a 'Thriller.'"

@niccruzpatane I have a HW3 S, and had a HW4 MYP. The car is perfect but HW4 Camera Picture quality is so much better. FSD isn’t noticeabley worse to me, but the cameras bother me. I’d spend the extra few grand or wait for a deal on HW4.
English

I'm thinking of getting a Model S.
It's the only Tesla we all haven’t owned, and with it being sunsetted, what better time than now? I’d love to experience one.
There are still great deals on the used market. I'm okay with HW3 (it has to be included) since I’ll still have my M3P with AI4.
I'm currently brainstorming and looking for the best options.

I just bought a pair a few weeks ago, and it’s the best shoe out right now. It rides the line between classic and modern styling. Some brands add too many classic styling elements catering to older players , and the opposite of that is a golf shoe that’s basically a basketball shoe. I love the Jordan brand but the look is getting tired now. I think Payntr is next up.

A lot of @PayntrGolf models on feet today at the PGA Championship. Each week, more athletes seem to be putting them in play...
What are yall thoughts on the brand?

English

@ModernNotoriety @KITH What an odd choice for a brand ambassador. I don’t get it.

@MattWallaceTech On Auto it’s supposed to adjust the entire cabin to the desired temp. Why would air coming out from the back matter if the entire cabin was at the temp you want it to be? I’ve never had this issue, Maybe better tint or a sunshade would help ?

Tesla Deep Blue Metallic (Discontinued) vs Marine Blue

Sawyer Merritt@SawyerMerritt
Here are photos of the @Tesla's new Marine Blue color on the Model 3 Premium and Model Y Premium in the U.S. 𝕏 is making the color look a lot more dull in the video than it actually is due to compression or something. The photos give a better representation:
English

I think it’s fine. Seat color is an odd shade, but what do you want? It’s a car, it looks comfortable. I think we’re going to see a shift back to an old classic look and layout but with modern tech. This isn’t exciting by any means, but it doesn’t look like it needs anything either. Audi is solid and always understated, I think it works.

@TheDegenWeekly Did you swing by and see this in person? Definitely stop by Golden Gate Park and Ocean Beach next time.

I spent a week in Northern California. Here's my review:
1. San Francisco (2 Days)
This was my first time visiting SF as an adult. I'd been when I was 10 years old but that doesn't count (although Alcatraz was pretty sick). I had my expectations low, which is key to any first time experience, but can also be tricky. For example: the first time I saw Hot Tub Time Machine, I thought it was the funniest movie I'd ever seen. Had no expectations. Took my wife to see it after hyping it up, and she did not think it was the funniest movie she'd ever seen. I set her expectations too high.
I thought SF was cool. Could I live there? Eh. I'm not sure I could ever get used to those hills, but they are super unique to any other American city. Being right on the Bay is pretty badass. The people were friendly and the service was good. I prefer the SF vibe over the LA vibe. Less pretentious and “douchey” for lack of a better word. Also much cleaner than I expected. Someone told me they got a new mayor who's done a good job, or maybe there was a big push during SB. Either way, not the zombie apocalypse you might think from watching the news.
My first Waymo ride was fun. Kinda creepy how all the billboards in SF are about AI. Def think it will be the first city where robots outnumber humans when the time comes.
2. Yosemite (3 days)
My wife and I love the outdoors but we aren't necessarily outdoors people, if that makes sense. The only way you can get me to camp in the wilderness is with something they call "Glamping" and that's what we did. Highly recommend Under Canvas which just opened their Yosemite location. These tents were awesome, and the food was fucking fantastic.
We checked out El Capitan, Tunnel View, some Sequoia trees, hiked the Vista Trail and Hetch Hetchy. Not super touristy which was great. I've heard Yellowstone gets absurdly packed. Could have been the time of year as it was a little cold. This was our second National Park visit and I thought it was perfect for beginners like us.
3. Napa (3 days)
This place is gorgeous. I was blown away at how nice of a drive it was (3.5 hours) from Yosemite to Napa. You'd be in flat farmlands that felt like the middle of Kansas, then an hour later be surrounded by mountains and vineyards. Someone told us California is responsible for making 70% of the country's produce. I now believe that.
I'm not the biggest wine guy but I like wine. Drank it a lot more before I started getting bad acid reflux. I don't think you need more than 2 days in Napa if you're just a casual wine drinker. The experience overall was great though. Enjoyed the tastings and scenery at every stop. There's only so much red wine I can drink during the day before I need a nap. The town could use an emergency cocktail bar nearby serving Whiskey Cokes and cigarettes to keep you going. Oh and you didn't ask but my favorite winery was Alpha Omega. We bought a few bottles there because they don't sell anywhere else. Pretty cool.
Overall I'm left coming away with this impression: Northern California fucking rocks.
I can't believe I was not familiar with its game. The people are chill. The scenery is stunning. The weather is lovely. As an East Coast guy who's made multiple drives from NYC to Florida and back, I am beyond envious that the other side of the country is so much more beautiful. They don't have any rest stops though, which is tough for a guy like me that has to piss every 20 minutes. So for that I would like to say THANK YOU New Jersey!
I'm not the type to make a lot of life goals (not a good thing) but I think ending up in Northern California after your kids go to college and living out your remaining years there is absolutely the dream scenario.
I doubt most of you read this but if you did, please let me know if you have any recs for my next visit. Cheers.

The moving day from @PayntrGolf is one of my favorite 'modern classic' golf silhouettes right now....Very comfortable. Looks good with pants and shorts. Easy to clean.
The Gator "Coffee" colorway gets a restock at the top of May.

@abc7newsbayarea @elonmusk I know you’re smart enough to integrate a fire containment or suppression system on board.

A battery fire that engulfed a Tesla early Tuesday morning shut down northbound I-280 for hours in Daly City. The driver was able to get out of the vehicle and is doing OK.
“It was a ball of flame, it was a fireworks show basically with everything coming off of it," Captain Jeff Higgins with North County Fire Authority said. abc7news.com/18933554/
