Yahzick - NOGL (Lyric Video)

[@diversezebra6754]

WotC triggered an Attack of Opportunity.....that was brutal....

[@Angellus4325]

"I mean, how much goddamn money do you need?!" should be a rallying cry for a LOT of entities, honestly; not just Hasbro/WOTC.

[@loverlei79]

There's an evil of "ownership" slowly creeping in all the arts. First it was "you can't use Napster" then it was "you can't copy coloring book pages to better paper" then it was "you can't buy prints of original artwork ie mona lisa", then "you can't sing other people's songs" The arts are eating themselves. I got in an argument with a musician over playing Christian music from a cd in church. It's out of hand. At some point from small newbs to huge corporations, they have to learn to just let go. Art is living and you can't monetized and restrict its every move.

​@@loverlei79 Funny... I listened to Yahzick's rap and then, with it fresh in mind, I started on the comments. Yours was the first _long_ comment/reply and, as I silently read it, my mind couldn't help but try to break it up into stanzas and give it some kind of rap beat... funny.

[@DarkSniper2005]

Got that right Rich men walking around with 208b billion with a B. This means they could hand each and every person on earth 1 Billion Dollars and still have 200 Billion Dollars of not more in the time it would take to get everyone their money.

[@DarkSniper2005]

Never guys i was just informed of my stupidity 8 billion dollars gives us all 1 dollar not 1 billion

[@alarsonious2071]

Genius. Thank you for being such a badass bard, and a leader of the party. When you are DMing and dropping rocks on our heads...which we actually like...cause, we should've searched for traps...

[@stevenhiggins1000]

Every line weighted with Fandom, emotional fire WotC best recognize what they did. Send shivers down their spines yahzick. 💚

[@billsky1660]

That was excellent if it's possible I would say that that was even more brutal than the one you did on the music industry. Lead on bard. We allways got your six

[@The_Totes_Adorbs]

I wish I could listen to this song.... but just the opening lines were so fire it burned my house to the ground.

[@river7874]

This was absolute fire. You cast Meteor Swarm and they Rolled a Nat 1 on their Dex saves. This is right up there with Evil Eye as my favorite track. These foolish Corpos ignored the warning, and now they'll be dead before the morning.

[@toehei33]

as an Ex-MTG player this resonates sooooo well with the community's feeling. I used to Love EDH getting together with the homies playing EDH till 3:00am. and now we all went our separate ways after Covid. Thank you for the Representation for us Yahzick.

[@MythosMaster1]

Yahz on fire like a preacher on the pulpit Showing everybody the true evil of this culprit Spittin' hot bars and showin' his teeth Not afraid to show what he feels underneath I guess they forgettin' Whose pockets their hittin It ain't ours, it's theirs Who they think they kiddin? Keep up the fight, Yahz! We're all behind you!

[@nevechristopher]

Could you replace my phone please? The fire 🔥 you just spit melted it

[@discordye4825]

"Don't throw rocks at the murderhobos." That's just a good idea in life.

[@adamworley196]

That's a tattoo now.

[@1LivelyRogue]

“Don’t throw rocks at the murder hobos” is good, solid life advice.

[@Btkamp]

Wull…mind blowing brother, mind blowing dude! You’re amazing

[@Fanboytone]

Heck yes! And got Anthouse Beats again. Yes sir! Love this.

[@jaredandkyleigh]

Love it.

[@Ubotit_Unaymit]

Thanks Yahzick! ✌🏼

[@Malkamok]

Straight up spitting facts and fire

[@7dungeons]

This is pure GOLD, love it like all your work. But this hits hard, and doesn't pull any punches. They need to roll Death Saving throws, cause this was a killing blow.

[@piprdakota]

This was so good!

[@serian32086]

Amazing

[@Zaltev97]

Truth all the way down.

[@aecirohawke2796]

Yes! Amazing, Yahzick!

[@deathybrs]

Sick flow on this one, Yahz!

[@TheGiggleMasterP]

Man this track is fire. Hope you blow up someday! Your flow is sick

[@ZSchrink]

Excellent song, sadly so true

[@AchanCham_]

This was very well done. Good job.

[@songarrhea]

Lyrically, you fuckin KILL IT, brother! Yeah Dude!

[@gamhuin]

Excellent work as always. :)

[@xTatsumix]

hypeeeeeeeeeee new songggggg

[@christineherrmann205]

This is awesome. 🤣

[@hydrainfernos9081]

this goes hard, love the video. i noticed a thing recently. a lot of the Welcome to the Party album frm yahzick is just gone from youtiube and spotify. was there a dmca thing?

[@craftgineer]

Would love to see one for the new 2024 edition

[@stevechudomelka7301]

100% O.N.*!!!

[@wendull811]

Love the song. I'm new to dnd what are you talking about? What made you so mad at them?

[@jonathanwessner3456]

Wizards/TSR had what they called an "Open Game License" that said you could play D&D all you wanted, even film it. Then they saw how popular things like Critical Role were , and how much money THEY make playing D&D, and decided "Hey, wait a minute, WE should be getting some of that!" (CR makes millions a year for the creators) So, they rewrote the OGL and basically added wording that said "you can film or play on stream, BUT if you make more money than we like, you have to pay us a license fee of 25% for anything over 750k, and, if you make over 50k, we need to know about that" They are also trying to crack down on third party stuff like how Mann Shorts does various editions of D&D. They want them to play "only officially licensed versions". So, they want to tell you how to play a game that requires YOUR imagination

[@wendull811]

@Jonathan Wessner yeah that sounds pretty shifty. I get what they are trying to do, but I think they are going the wrong way about it. If they want to make money from stuff like that, then maybe they should make their own channel like a critical role and use some marketing money to make it work.

[@Sandsquid21]

@@wendull811 That idea would require those WotC mooks to actually have imagination. If you've read any of their stuff in the last few years, it seems contrived and unoriginal as well as seemingly bastardizing previous editions content to appeal to a more 'diverse' audience. That's why they wanted to claim ownership (or more aptly, steal) the creations of 3rd party creators for their own purposes, without having to compensate them, no less.

[@ewabrzakaa6395]

@@wendull811 version they backed out off was also "we can take away your license to sell content on "ideological basis"" (no specifications what kind, so, basically gave themselves free range to do whatever) and that anything done under this license they would be allowed to just take and sell without compensating creator. And there was some weird talk about "to stop people from making NFTs" sounding like they wanted to control DnD art people make. They have been forced to back down from the worst of it already, and newest agreement doesn't have such open clauses for "we can do whatever", but it's still company that was trying to sell MTG *random* card packs for like 1000$ a pack (and this game has terrible power creep so if people want advantage in game they are pressured to buy new stuff) but even before this the books for DnD have strongly noticeable power creep; so people using newer published books always had the substantial advantage if playing together with people who were playing using older material... which is not situation that anyone wants in COOPERATIVE game. And they tried to make DnDBeyond the only VTT allowed to run DnD games because they were upset by the large chunks of the digital tabletops being taken over by either one-time-purchase Foundry or basic-functions-free Roll20. Because sweet subscription money. Add to it that the books they are proposing offer almost no DM support. While rule of "DM may ignore or change rule" is part of the system foundation, there are many rules that are just lacking, sometimes acknowledged with "lol, just think of something yourself" attitude; without even suggested course of action.

[@nogl.png_]

O shit it's a song about me😏

[@smartdonald]

This song is fire! What does NOGL mean?

[@ewabrzakaa6395]

to be fair, they did something like that thrice now, I feel like it's bit late to be placing the warning "If you ever do something like this again we'll just leave" like, how many second chances one company deserves?

[@diversezebra6754]

Most people are unaware of the previous times.

[@Grimlore82]

Fuck yeah!

[@loverlei79]

Hasbro rolled a nat 1

[@zenmonk420]

It's criminal this doesn't have hundreds of thousands let alone millions of views. Here's hoping Hasbro's newest wave of scumbaggery gives this a 2nd life.

[@thecrookedcleric5112]

This is disgusting and I love it

[@AnarKirby]

"Guess the billionaires are tryin' to get some fuel for their rockets" more like better hulls for their subs.

[@Bgh583]

Oof the AI really did this one dirty

[@David_Lo_Pan]

I missed your raps

[@punxdoinstuff]
