Lost in the (Billy) Woods: Ray Garraty’s Year in Hip Hop
Some years, you want to check more new music. Other years, you don’t. 2022 was one of the latter. As always, music journalists race to name the Next Big Thing, but when you go check it and it turns out Not a Big Thing at all. And the next big thing, you just walk past it.
In the rush to discover something else, people don’t properly follow an artist they discovered a month ago. Yet, often, the artists they gave up mature, get better or even reinvent themselves. Nobody pays enough attention to those artists. We have fewer and fewer listeners and more and more streaming platform passengers. Thus, this year it seemed that nobody properly listened to Louie Ray, Bandgang Lonnie Bands, Chief Keef, even though they created their best music right NOW. For most listeners, they belong to past years.
That is why I was dreading the 2022 end of the year lists. I was sure that we’d get two types of lists. The first would be hype lists, full of Hot New Artists nobody will remember after January 1. The other would be those created by and for a highbrow, white, middle-class public who wants its rap to be “smart.” Thus, we get thousands of lists full of billy woods and the like, which is only good to show your college professor how brainy your music tastes are.
Anyway, 2022 had plenty of good hip hop music. Probably the best music this year was the one we didn’t get to listen to. Boyz Ent, a label holding Rio Da Yung Og catalogue, had some managerial trouble, and despite the promises from the CEO we got only two new songs by Rio (not counting his EPs with Boog and Wayne616). Which is a shame. On to the next one!

Ignorance of the year
Bizarre — He Got a Gun
ShredGang Mone’s verse on “3 Kids”
Bizarre, of D12 fame, was long ago discarded as a washed up Eminem sidekick by ‘serious’ rap fans. But he steadily releases new music, of the weirdest and goofiest type. Imagine the worst B-movie, and Bizarre will surpass it with over-the-top amount of ignorance.
Mone on his verse claims he robs rappers, and ironically, his partner Lonnie Bands got his chain took this year. One has to wonder if it was Mone’s job.

I saw this post about how Engie was probably born into generational wealth and I can't stop thinking about it.

gen z culture is memeing about mental issues you know you have while refusing to see a therapist because therapy cost money but memes are free

Don't actually spoil anything for me, because I do intend to play it at some point... but how is Veilguard? Like I kept hearing your old choices don't matter, is that putting a damper on the whole thing? Does it feel fine without that? Like don't tell me anything about the story, I just want to know if people feel like they're getting their money's worth out of it.

First cameo I bought for myself...
and it's fucking PRINCESS TRUNKS BABYYYY.
Thank you Scott, you're amazing, I love your work, and I will die a happy man.
(And as soon as I am no longer broke, I will give you a fucking tip because atjskydkfkydjy I asked for so little, and you gave EVERYTHING. 🥺😭🙏💕 I got a triple whammy of 1-the line I asked you to say to Dragon Ball Super Broly. 2-nostalgia for when you guys were making DBZ abridged and I'd get so hyped for the new episode. 3-my new favorite Trunks, flustered awkward accidental flirting Trunks. Thank you, and may you find a random $20 bill on the ground every week for the rest of your life. 💗)
#dbza#dbz abridged#Princess Trunks#Broly#DBZ#DBS#cameo#dragon ball z#dragon ball super#KAISERNEKO#Scott Frerichs#It's probably a good thing I'm not made of money because I would have everyone do all the ships and silliness and that's just too much powe#Lmao#Ya boi had a shit night's sleep and was gonna try for some more shut-eye but then I saw this was complete AND I'M NOT SLEEPING ANYTIME SOON#I REGRET NOTHING

see ok I don’t think it’s bad who stole the furniture because he didn’t go to f5 and zoom in on himself a billion times
#also a stamp of innocence from foolish is a stamp from me in bbh’s case tbfh#if it is bad I will be extremely surprised. it really does go against all his characters goals rn plus it was so sloppy#if bad had done it there wouldn’t be a damn chair anywhere on the island. he would have been thorough as all get out. his points of#‘ok I didn’t do it but if I did-‘ when he runs into a chair are so fair because yeah! this is so true!!#if he was gonna be petty and throw a shitstorm furniture stealing tantrum to go against forever or whatever he would have gone 100% all in#he would have gone so far in it would have been fucking crazy of him to find some of the furniture he’d be stealing#anyways I don’t got real money on anyone rn I’m leaning towards pac and richas tho#maybe willyrex? I doubt it though he’s going around planting mines totally different MO rn#mcyt#qsmp#bbh#z speaks

TF2 is free-to-play, but f2p players can't use voice commands or the chat, meaning they can't call for Medic. During a round of MvM a while back, I saw a Scout calling a Medic for an f2p player! It was just a weirdly sweet moment. Little things like that are my favorite part of playing TF2, haha.

#team fortress 2#pyro#scout#medic#z art#somewhere roughly in rottenburg sure#you can change a setting to auto-notify you if anyone near you needs healing if you're playing medic#but you do have to turn that on so it's not the same#restricting chat options for f2ps was part of an attempt to combat bots#so now instead the f2ps are hamstrung while the bots will spend the money to be able to spam voicechat#nice work valve

Everyone sending you their Alfred hate, my take is I like Alfred maybe 70% of the time as a character in the DC world where literally everyone is a weird as hell, mild-moderately offensive stereotype. If he existed irl though I would hate his guts just like I would hate pretty much every single member of the extended Batfamily. Maybe some of the pets get a pass, Batcow is on thin ice
I do seem to be the hub for alfred hate this week I should really tone it down this level of negativity isn't really good - but yeah I get where your coming from I think like I said just for me personally it's bc I dont see alfred as a character as much as he's a easy don't think about it explainer for writers to not have to worry about the little things like Alfreds been dead since 2018 and I know alot of people joke that they keep forgetting about that bc you know he's still showing up in comics and dc will bring him back eventually but I also put it to you it's bc he had so little character presents like it doesn't feel like anything has changed since he died
#ask#anon#like irl you would not see me in a 10 mile radius of jason todd if he existed#but as a character i think hes really interesting and i (usually) enjoy reading his stories#but yeah speaking of jason#that one scene in task force z where he pushes bane off a roof as “revenge for alfred”#babe that old man didn’t like you#stop trying to please a dead man#he gave all his money to dick you lost let it go#but yeah#really need to get off the alfred hate#i was meant to post that clone jason art early#but i fucked it up so bad#this has not been my week lads#(alfreds revenge on me fr)

i think we should care more about how the parents of gen alpha are giving them technology addiction to the point they throw tantrums when its taken away than how annoying skibidi toilet is
#gen alpha#millenials#gen z#gen z culture#millennial#boomers#my guy they are CHILDREN#BABIES#LEAVE THEM ALONE???#DO YOU NOT REMEMBER#THE TRENDS WE LIKED WHEN WE WERE KIDS#AND HOW 'CRINGE' IT WAS#in fact it wasnt even cringe.#its just kids being kids.#and these kids do not have spectacular parents#if the parents benefit and make money off of posting the child's tantrum online#instead of raising their kid right#in fact how about you make a better effort to keep these children safe and happy#than making fun of them online because its the newest cringe culture trend??

I FINALLY MOVED OUT TO A NEW PLACE!!!
i'm absolutely exhausted and i still need to unpack so many things and i still need to buy a proper desk and restock my groceries & supplies and a do a whole lot of other things BUT i'm hoping to get settled in soon so i can get back to the creative endeavors™️✨
love yall, stay safe, take care, and good vibes 🫶🏻
#rin rambles#i dont want to bog this with negativity but i do want to share stuff so imma do it in a way that makes me look forward and not backwards#honestly this wasn't the place that i actually wanted and got excited for several months ago#i had to make adjustments because unfortunately the landlord was a huge red flag and i decided i didn't want to sign#and sure enough she never returned my security deposit of 1.5months until this day despite saying she would every day for like a whole mont#and though it is hard and devastating i don't want to potentially sabotage my own future so i've decided to not take any legal action#i just hope. that that money can be of use to her in some way. get her out of a tough spot perhaps#it was a struggle to get to this point of actually feeling fine letting go without breaking down but!!! it's fine. i'm fine#and karma will find a way if it was truly done out of purely malicious intention!#i'm closing that book and stowing it away lovingly into a shelf because if anything it was. a powerful lesson.#as much as it sucks. never. ever. trust a person when it comes to business or transactions. no matter how 'put together' they seem#always have everything on paper and never EVER pay something until they demonstrate that they can be trusted#anyway#the people helping me move today were super friendly and nice and it made my day!!#and so far i love love love the privacy so much. a bathroom all to myself? a kitchen countertop?? for myself??? that's so crazy#i had to battle thru cobwebs and (fored to) cured my arachnophobia by force /j#and there was a power trip unfortunately but overall everything seems nice! i would have liked having the room on a higher floor but ah wel#ough my back........... _(;3」 z)_
