i don't get it
jayceon is "the game" rapper, not just any black guy name

if u don't think the way the song is done is good and that it doesn't have a message then ok, but i think ur just trying to be contrarian for the sake of being contrarian, that's ok.

gkmc got the critical acclaim and actual people liking it just as much. kendrick is butt-buddy with dr dre that a lot of people love, and everyone loves an underdog.

if you go on shitty sites or facebook pages regarding hiphop (lol hiphopdx) you'll see black people going "KENDRICK THE KING!!!", those same people go "EMINEM THE KING!!!" too, even though eminem is way past his prime and riding on past fame. fucking asher roth has more material than eminem

i don't think eminem is that good, but he got his fame by being the white guy in a black guy business, kendrick got his by not being a gangster but rapping about the same stuff in a different way, not to mention a lot of his songs on gkmc have the 90s vibe, which is thanks to dr dre and because he uses 3+ syllable words, compared to like 2chains/rickross/whoever is really popular but raps about money cash hoes

Also for what it's worth, I have 250 plays on Black Boy Fly, it's not what you'd think about the title at all.

It's really a perfect song that most of /lit/ can relate.
Shame it's a bonus track.

Oh hey, I'm listening to this again right now.

It seems to get better after each listen, used to only listen to BDKMV/Swimming Pools/The Recipe/Black Boy Fly but honestly all the songs are really good too.

Sing About Me, I'm Dying Of Thirst is amazing for a 12min song.

I still prefer Yeezy since I tend to relate to him a lot better, on a lot of levels, rather than Kendrick.

The only time I use whom is when I write

"To whom it may concern", which is like once every few years when I need to write a letter or something, email, even.

Fair enough, but I've also mentioned that collecting books because they were gifts/sentimental value of any kind is validated, which means they're worth in that regard.

It's just that when you have 5k books and if you say they're all worth the same to you, that's bullshit.

jus' sayin'

book hoarders nigga thats that shit i dont like

Xenogears is the true /lit/ game.
Summadat Jung you feel me fam?

Other games have high aesthetic values, such as Chrono Cross, SaGa Frontier 2, mainly all Square 95-00 games are worth looking at.

Also RPGs are the only real genres that can embody a good story that spans towns, cities, universes, as much as MGS games are hailed as great, it's still like 10 same-ish rectangular hallways with different colors set at different places/countries.

That's the catch, most books don't cost that much to be worth more than the space they take up.

Which means they're not worth collecting.
Only hardbacks/limited prints are worth collecting, and those can be expensive as shit.
You either collect good rare shit, sentimental shit (although that's not really collectable, tbh), extremely cheap/stolen/gifted shit.
I don't collect books, games, cds, anything, but if someone gifts me a book I can't throw it away or sell it, or video games my parents bought for me back in the day, I don't sell that shit or move that shit unless absolutely, gunpoint needed.

The only argument I use when buyfags try to justify their shit is that I'm almost positive the space the shit they collect takes up costs way more than the shit itself in sq feet/meters, as actual space, real-estate wise.

If you don't even own your place you should seriously give the physical shit collecting a rest.

Not even kidding.

Do you make timestamps when you watch a movie too?
Or sticky notes when listening to some cool parts of songs?
Do you have a notepad when the drop hits on a dubstep song?

Isn't it like an obvious thing?

Since people who are into small screens, portable shit, internet, staring at a computer screen at 3:20 in the morning wondering where it all went wrong, are most prone to short attention spans due to the nature of the internet.

Dunno how the study was done, but of course when it's on a familiar device such as a kindle (familiar in the sense most normal fucking people touch more screens, mice, keyboards, portable devices on a monthly basis than they do actual paper books, newspapers, etc), the result will have some elements in common.

man half that shit people do out of habit or boredom, i cross my legs like a woman too every time and i even sit on them like a jap when in class sometimes since it helps me focus, what's the problem

Man, I love good-looking notebooks, but my handwriting is shit, and I'm just lowkey scared I'll desecrate it with my shitty 2nd grader handwriting.

I mostly get shitty kids notebooks that are like 0.5$ for 54pgs and use it half a semester.

I'm bad at organizing myself.

Didn't the regime hate him or something, I remember an english teacher telling me that he was anti-regime, and after he won the prize, they put him on television and after that they put some prostitute or something for longer than he had been on tv, to discredit him or something.

Anybody know anything about this?

>-Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
Yeah, this is pretty much true, you don't want to alienate your readers if they can't understand half the shit you write.
