I had no idea you streamed man. You did my favorite rap in Adventure Time. The one about nuts 🔥 Not to ignore your prescient commentary here. The culture of hip hop being corrupted by capital interests is spot on. The same has happened, and will happen, to all countercultural artistic movements. That’s how we end up with cops jamming to RATM. It’s incredibly disheartening. I wish more people were willing to acknowledge that reality. What can be done to make that happen though seems like an impossible question.

Is it fair to say the metoo movement fizzled out? And ultimately failed? Neil Degrasse Tyson was cleared of wrongdoing without much explanation, the companies making money off of him conducted "investigations". Two of the SCOTUS justices have assaulted people. This behavior is everywhere.

Taylor Swift basically encourages wild speculation, But it's also a very purposeful inclusion in her public image

no Godspeed You! Black Emperor…

gotta try a jibarito

This reminds me alot of Why?..Good stuff

hearing you sing theyll need a crane over cranes in the sky saved me from the brink. They are one of my favorite bands too. the first time i heard qualifiers, when you dropped the weep day bars at the end i was fuckin floored, you became one of my favorite rappers on the spot. thank you for doing your thing

Can't wait to hear Mike cover a game between the New York Khaki Pants and the Chicago Aberdeen Angus Cows

Its full circle for me cause I like beam up attain the fucking god sword and im saying all this stuff and everybody just told me to fuck off and that i didnt know what i was talking about and that was a decade ago. But its been an exercise in ego death bc at least its happening now.

Shit fam I didnt know u were streaming.

As fire as ever.

This is the conversation i've been looking for. Thank you.

Dirt made a breakdown then had a breakdown

Hey OME, been on you and DFD since I was a teenager. I don’t think people give a fuck about the punk nature of hip-hop. The I-got-something-to-say rap isn’t needed because nobody got time to think about nuances. The mental work and attention span needed to have a nuanced conversation about society is in short supply. Consuming (Greed, Power, Status, Consumption) sells and is tangible, I’m not saying reject the world and be a monk, but I’m surprised we’re doing this well at getting along. We have a culture war. I see people who look like me picking our food for low pay and half of our politicians are running on a program of hatred towards Latinos. Zero room for nuance, cater to the lowest. Now we enter danger territory. Stay blessed and keep thinking Unc.

Love ya Eagle

Thank you for making me waste 3 minutes listening to you mumble without saying anything for the first three minutes, step yo game up fam.

The "media" doesn't care about what you want to talk about. They only care about creating the context around what you say and what yoy see.

As far as you thinking that hip-hop had a chance not to be about money, clothes, and who you rolled around with, again, I don’t know what you’re talking about because that’s all it’s ever been. The guys that you’re talking about like KRS-One are so few in number and I never heard them called hip-hop. Public Enemy and KRS-One were always referred to as rap.

I’m very curious about what you’re talking about, because I never heard anyone anywhere talk about Combs being some kind of criminal. Not once. I don’t know who you’re talking about that was supposedly trying to have that conversation.

Institutions = Rich Jewish ppl. There, I made a correction for you.

Great video. The Dunning Kruger effect: bias that causes people to overestimate their own knowledge or abilities.

The very question s-a’rd assualted women ask themselves all the time. New subsctiber here. 🙏

Quick note I dont think power changes people as much as those who seek it usually have underhanded motives and aren't straightforward during their persuit of power, good video, crazy whats going on

You're definitely not alone in these sentiments

Out kast first album the flows were just like Del and Hiero before they came into their own.

I been fucking with KZbin prime for like 3-4 years now. I love it.

The Boys is real

if he was my size without the hat you couldnt tell the diffrence🔥🔥

10:07 this is like gaylor level conspiratorial thinking

It's the Cassandra Complex. Warning anyone who will listen about an apparent danger, and never being taken seriously until the problem explodes, and everyone you tried to warn looks around like they had no idea. Nothing makes me feel worse than knowing that most folk prefer to be ignorant.

Dre Day was average, but the video was great

And Ice Cube never called himself a natural born killer. He said he’s iller than a natural born killer!

No Vaseline is the best dis track.

Not a rant, a lecture

When the first Burial album dropped, Dubstepforum was a buzz identifying every sample used without clearance. Thankfully, some respected heads stepped in to shut that shit down. Stop sample snitching!

There are too many communities being trampled by the morally dubious that would steal from or see their own trampled for a quick buck. But why is it that arguing for accountability on this becomes some sort of act of pretentious grandstanding in the public eye? I'm usually the first in my close circles to throw capitalism under the bus at any opportunity, but there's gotta be some level of tribal human nature that supports this behavior. Like building someone impossibly high at all costs and then watching them crash while cheering the entire time must scratch some deeply-flawed part of our caveman brains. How do we heal that kind of societal sickness?

I swear that song catfishes me everytime! One of my favourite ever intros followed by garbage! I thought I was the only one 😂

This is great. It's worth thinking about the fact PE and KRS were both institutionalized, and KRS is now at a point of trying to create his own institutions. That brings to the point of taking resources from labels to have conversations. So how far can 'conversation' go alone? What does it mean to be actually political? With that, it's worth thinking about the point that Kendrick and J Cole are not 'counter culture enough' -- what does it mean to be 'counter culture' in conversation versus, actually political and I would say LOOK AT NONAME

I always go to Brooklyn vegan to hear albums I'll forget about 30 seconds later

Tupac said he fucked Big‘s wife Jay Z said that he fucked Nas baby mama what’s different about that and what Pusha T and all of those guys are saying

It feels like the anti-establishment vibe of hip hop has shifted into nihilism or something. Maybe that's too strong of a word but idk how else to describe it - maybe "cutthroat hedonism".

Jay Z in first place from the BUSSINESS magazine...that's really the only thoughts i have lol

You’re so important, man. Thank you for this.

I LOVE that song but everything you just said was true. 🤣

I knew nothing about Open Mike Eagle when Dark Comedy was released but around 2016 I started listening to the Maron WTF podcast. After a few months I eventually reached an episode with this unassuming guy talking about comedy and being a musician. I googled the guy and the first hits were some episodes of a podcast called Secret Skin. I played a few episodes and then KZbin recommended me a song called My Auntie's Building which I checked out. That was enough to make me want to check out some of the guy's other stuff. I jumped onto Bandcamp and saw the Brick Body album for like 11 bucks, or the OME back catalogue for $24. I liked the music but I love a deal so I went for the catalogue. For several months that became my soundtrack to work to. I later realised that Bandcamp files didn't seperate the songs into folders correctly so when I played the collection back I would get track 1 on Film Festival followed by track 1 on Dark comedy etc. Been a fan ever since. Happy Anniversary.

What does it take to get people to listen? Evidence. Corroborating evidence sir

I helped awoman who escaped snuff films. Theres a farn in kingman az. They also keep pregnant girls and sell the babies. When Paul Bonaci admitted to taking Johnny Gosch he mentioned it also. Paul was a rrafficked child turned trafficker. The reason he wasnt charged and was made put to be crazy was bc he also told of celebrities and politicians. The videos out there but it keeps getting taken down or they make him out to be nuts. Hes not lying I know bc I helped that girl. Its Midnight Productions in Az. Its all connected. Diddy Kelly Pizza Gate ALL the rich white guys. Its all the same ring. Ive been telling people this for the last 4 years. No one listens

People only paid attention because Cassie got money out of it. In addition to the uproar of is she lying and is she not lying. It got even more steam when it was alleged diddy was sleeping with men as well. I think that's where the uproar stayed. People would have forgotten about Cassie If it wasn't for the male victims. Because so many people are so used to women being abused that they would have just brushed it off as a statistic.

man, you hit the nail on the head

Horse to water, etc.
