@@KarpeNoktum I was a fan of Skeem but his reaction was so petty. He talks about how he would want to be in an ERB and then he stops during Scru's verse to say guest stars don't ever write their own lines. And he prides himself on "catching every reference" but he somehow misses the 8 Mile reference? Yeah, he didn't miss that he just didn't want to give credit for it. Knox is a much more class act.

Yeah, Skeems reaction was Petty AF. He thought those corny lines WORKED... His breakdowns are usually good, but he lost my respect when he claimed Scru didn't write ANY of his verses, and pretended he didn't know who Scru was. When Scru broke it down, he TOLD us which lines he wrote, and which were already written. I stopped watching his reaction around Bezos' second verse.

He owned 1/3 of the entire world’s gold supply and spent so much money on his pilgrimage that he crashed the price of gold for a decade. Historians believe his net worth would be around 400 billion US dollars today, double Jeff Bezos’ net worth. The total amount of money he had is incalculable. Richest man in history

The instrument Mansa is playing is called a Kora. It's a 21 stringed instrument with a long hardwood neck and a resonator body made up of the gourd of the calabash (Lagenaria siceraria). It's traditionally played by the Manlinke people of West Africa (Mali, Senegal, The Gambia, Ivory Coast, Guinea and Guinea-Bissau). The Kora is traditionally associated with Royalty, nobility and religious practices. Interestingly, musicians often use the Kora to accompany narratives, recitations and songs about famous people. In this segment of the rap, Mansa is playing his Kora to accompany the backstory (the 'blue origin') he's narrating about Bezos, so he's playing exactly the right instrument in exactly the right context.

Heavily appreciate the unbiased breakdown despite your beef with Scru. It can be really easy to give into the pre-conceived notions and grudges you have against a person, and to see you not only give the usual great breakdown you always deliver, but also complimenting Scru’s delivery and rapping ability is a nice relief And I agree that ERB has been on a whole new depth with the last few in terms of bars and references.

@bentowers3614 2 жыл бұрын

From what I can gather, when it comes to personal levels, it seeme Scru has a habit of not bring the most dedicated individual to work with when it comes to business partnerships and friendships. Supposedly, many felt he had buddied up with them specifically to ride on/gain clout and fame by using associations with them before ditching them once he got popular enough from said associations. Naturally, doing this too often can accidentally burn a lot of bridges if you aren't the most diplomatic when ties are severed. From what I could find, this wasn't a terribly big deal until he got into a similar situation with Crypt, who happened to be huge, and a bit of a fan favorite, among the online rapping community. There was some back and forth between the two as well, supposedly, in their music and interactions, that left a sour taste in the mouths of both camps. Scru also apparently had some hot takes concering the rap scene that supposedly rubbed some people the wrong way. This is all predominantly what I could find with a surface level cursory search about the topic, and in no way do I claim it is all 100% true. Take it with a grain of salt, but I believe it is a modest summary of the situation.

@@trium1554 it really is a preference. I watched them both reacting erb and I'm more into Knox's reactions since he's knowledgeable when breaking it down.

Knox looking real nice on the social commentary. You also caught a lot that basically everyone else missed, perfect reaction Btw the movie/musical was Little Shop of Horrors, where a giant alien man-eating plant is raised by a nerdy and softspoken florist named Seymour. The plant's name is Audrey 2, and it's most iconic line spoken (and sung) is "Feed me Seymour"

Here is something that everyone should know about Mansa Musa, he was not a man of wealth so much so a man who distributed wealth of different kinds, he helped spread knowledge and charity to multiple places during his whole journey to mekkah. every city he has been through had gained something because of him. He was a devout Muslim who aimed to please Allah.

Allah Mode - this also sounds like some sort of cheat code that you could use in the game for a "God Mode". Kinda nice way to end this, because it can be understood as "you can't touch me". Beside that, because Musa was giving the gold to the poor people, he might be treated as some sort of God too by those people.

As a delivery driver for Amazon I can say that most of the drivers that piss in bottles are just not that great at managing their days. However, I am from Ohio so that would go for similar states. Now for lets say New York city/LA/Miami or any other major city, they are a completely different situation that I personally have not experienced so I can not talk on that. But the real problem for the delivery drivers is the fact that on average we are delivering more packages/stops than FedEx/UPS but get paid much less. Additionally, we have no actual support so if someone gets injured they are screwed. And they happen to "lose" stuff all the time but then blame the drivers when they don't give us the packages to begin with.
