50 Cent

"Ghetto Qu'ran"

Nas

"Get Down"

Early 50 Cent records truly showcased how fucking fierce he was when there was no plan b and nothing was guaranteed yet. You can hear how hungry he was and what he poured into it.

It's quite shocking how underrated and relatively unknown this song is considering how strong of a track and how interesting and influential the background anc content of the song was to his entire career.

It's pretty crazy how much his life could have gone in a completely different direction and how close it was to never happening.

I thought it was interesting that he brought up the Nas record as he was right on in the way that both tracks share in the unique way the offered unuque insight into the world behind the music in NYC and Queens specifically.

As well both record show these two at the top of their game over around the same point in time over amazing beats which showcased how influential the soulful samples were to the vibe and quality of the highest quality of hip-hop music that was coming out in the 2000's which was also synonymous with the keystone Jay, Kanye, Rick Ross, Dipset records of that era - which for my money is a sound that embodies the Golden Era of Hip-Hop as much as the 90's if not surpassed it.

지금이 나의 삶의 반의 반쯤

어떠냐 묻는 말에 난 늘 하는 같은 대답뿐

다를 것 없어 i'm good

마치 너무 당연하단 듯 변함없는 나의 꿈

���전같이 아주 뜨거운 숨을 쉬지만

그 땐 이기려는 마음뿐이었지

어렸던 나의 눈엔 너무 비싸 보인

행복은 그 여자 손목에서 빛나던 Christian Dior

다 입고 있는 옷에 따라 성격이 변해

그게 이 도시의 첫 느낌

그 때쯤 내가 목표로 삼은 건

먹고 사는 짓 다음 단계의 모든 것

밤이 되면 난 다른 내일을 꿈꾸고

어제 같은 오늘을 봐 아침에 눈 뜨며

그대로인 듯 조금씩 움직여

성공의 바로 밑 어디쯤 현재 나의 주소

다 괜찮아 보여 이 길에 서있어 whatever 니가 있는 곳에 그대로 있어도 돼

잠시 어두워져도 불안해 하지마 wherever 날 믿어도 돼 그대로 있어도 돼

성공과 실패의 한 뼘 사이가 현재 나의 주소

그 둘의 첫 글자, 성실이 내 돈의 출처

3억짜리 집, 크레딧 카드는 purple swag

외제차는 없어도 두 발엔 항상 lebron x

뛸 준비가 됐지 errday

일한만큼 놀고 놀만큼 벌 땐

자존심을 안 팔아도 언제나 흑자인

나의 포지션 지켜낼게 끝까이

해가 뜨고 나서야 난 잠에 들어

대신 내 꿈 속은 하나도 안 어두워

기회란 놈도 잠이 없지 내 방을 노크해

기다려봐 좀만 더 자고 널 잡아볼게

앞자리수가 '3'이 됐지만 난 forever 'young'

가끔 이런 삶도 내게는 과분해 보여

멍 때리고 돈 뺏기던 공백기는 끝난 지 오래

이젠 매일이 내겐 comeback season

다 괜찮아 보여 이 길에 서있어 whatever 니가 있는 곳에 그대로 있어도 돼

잠시 어두워져도 불안해 하지마 wherever 날 믿어도 돼 그대로 있어도 돼

새로운 아침이 지나 기분 좋은 밤이야

고생들 했어 다들 잔 비워

한 여름의 낮 같던 나의 맘

식어버린 게 아냐 쉬고 있는 거야 마음 놔

stay cool, 어느 곳에 있든

stay cool, 어느 곳에 있든

stay cool, 어느 곳에 있든

잘하고 있는 거야 이대로만 해 내일도

많은 길을 돌아왔고

첨으로 다시 돌아갈 수도 없지만

끝이 어딘지 몰라도 난 괜찮다고 느껴

언제나 just sit back relax & take notes

sit back relax & take notes

sit back relax & take notes

sit back, sit back

다 괜찮아 보여 이 길에 서있어 whatever 니가 있는 곳에 그대로 있어도 돼

잠시 어두워져도 불안해 하지마 wherever 날 믿어도 돼 그대로 있어도 돼

I love the fact that the Silvermane Guards are essentially just a very devoted "We Love Gepard Landau" fanclub, and I desperately need for all of them to get into ship wars about it behind their Captain's back. The soldiers are all split into several factions:

Some of them ship him with Sampo 🛡💣 (enemies to lovers/hateship enjoyers; this does not necessarily mean they like Sampo- in fact it's more like most of them want to sic their Captain on him skzjsmdm)

Some of them ship him with Bronya 👑🛡 (knight and princess trope enjoyers and also a sorta-kinda "that is our mom and dad" type of deal; this faction gets riled up and ridiculously hypes Gepard up to Bronya every time she comes down to the frontlines mskdkxmd)

Some of them ship him with the trailblazer 🛡💫 (the smallest and newest faction, but steadily gaining!)

Some of them ship him with Pela ❄🛡 (workplace romance enjoyers; Gepard once charged out into the Fragmentum alone to save Pela from an expedition gone horribly wrong, and when this faction saw Gepard carrying Pela back princess style they threw a whole party)

Some of them ship him with Dunn 🛡🗡 (also workplace romance; Dunn is very flattered by this because yeah wrong Landau, but wow, the troops really think he's good enough to woo the Captain, what an honor)

And some of them ship themselves with the Captain 🛡❤ (yumejoshi enjoyers; this faction throws a massive group effort every Valentine's Day and are also all very supportive of each other)

The final faction is an odd one, because they're defined not by who they ship their beloved Captain Gepard with, but rather by who they don't ship him with. Their name is generally shortened to the A.B.S. Group- Anybody BUT Sampo 🚫💣 DKSZJJSMSOZ

the thing abt early timkon (yj-era) is that they never disliked each other. they liked each other so much! it's "i like this guy i think he's overall competent and a good asset to my team and he's nice to be around most of the time. BUT ALSO sometimes he opens his mouth and i just wanna stuff my boot in it", which to me is overall a MUCH funnier dynamic than just rivals or whatever.

like. they're 15 and all they know how to do is bicker like an old married couple. kon tries to do something nice for tim and tim's pissed because he thinks kon is calling him incompetent. tim opens his mouth and kon's like oh my god shut up im gonna put you through a WALL. a third party insults either of them and theyre both like what the FUCK did you say about my bestie i'm gonna kick your ass!!!!!!

it's their "get out of my school" era. the "picking on you to get your attention" era. the "stealing your food just to piss you off teehee >:3c whatre you gonna do about it?" era. and yet they'll also doze off on each other's shoulders on the sofa. they contain multitudes. (every multitude is a stupid teenager, screaming endlessly into the void.)

What has happened to the Republican Party? Why have they abandoned all their principles and beliefs and become so extreme? 

In recent years, the Republican Party has undergone a significant transformation, veering away from its traditional principles and embracing a more extreme ideology. This shift has left many questioning the party's direction and has drawn criticism from both sides of the political aisle.

The Abandonment of Traditional Republican Values

Historically, the Republican Party has been known for its commitment to fiscal responsibility, limited government, and a strong emphasis on individual liberties. However, in recent times, the party has seemingly abandoned these core tenets in favor of a more divisive and polarizing agenda.

Fiscal Responsibility

Once a hallmark of the Republican Party, fiscal responsibility has taken a backseat to other priorities. The party's stance on deficit reduction and responsible spending has become increasingly inconsistent, with many Republicans supporting policies that contribute to growing national debt.

Limited Government

The principle of limited government, which advocates for restraining the size and scope of the federal government, has been overshadowed by an expansionist approach to executive power and centralized authority.

Individual Liberties

The party's traditional commitment to individual liberties, such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to privacy, has been called into question by some of the party's more extreme positions on issues like immigration and civil liberties.

The Rise of Extremism

The Republican Party's shift towards extremism can be attributed to several factors, including the growing influence of fringe groups, the polarization of political discourse, and the party's embrace of populist rhetoric.

Influence of Fringe Groups

Fringe groups with extreme ideologies have gained a stronger foothold within the Republican Party, shaping its policies and rhetoric. This influence has contributed to the party's move away from its traditional values and towards more extreme positions.

Polarization of Political Discourse

The increasingly polarized nature of political discourse in the United States has played a role in the Republican Party's shift toward extremism. As the divide between the two major parties has widened, the Republican Party has become more ideologically entrenched and less willing to compromise.

Embrace of Populist Rhetoric

The party's adoption of populist rhetoric, which often focuses on creating divisions and appealing to emotions rather than facts, has further fueled the trend toward extremism.

Conclusion

The Republican Party's transformation has left many questioning its future direction and its ability to appeal to a broad range of voters. As the party continues to grapple with internal divisions and external pressures, it remains to be seen whether it will return to its traditional values or continue down the path of extremism.
