Same. I learned about this in 2024 as well. Sometimes a rap beef is good for the listeners. Informative

nostr:npub1hymqekqgkf8vhlgr2a0n6cmmre3v48l2g9dvv7mvtvg7790j35rqh3ntt0 was it you who posted the interview with 2pac when he was 17? I can’t seem to remember who did
I can't remember if I did but I know exactly what you're talking about lol. The theater kid one?
Yes. A bit effeminate
So different than his stage persona. As if a plant too. That would be sad
Yup. I can only name one Tupac song. Maybe I'm missing out but I never got the hype. He's clearly a performance. There is a half hour interview of him as a theater kid which is very telling. This clip is funny too lol
😂
I always preferred Biggie but Tupac was always really good too. I hope it’s not all a lie
At this point I treat all media like WWE. If you like it and enjoy the stories and culture around it, that's cool.
But don't drink the cool-aid. 80% of the time it isn't "real".
Agreed. Most hardcore rappers are just posing
Posing as what though? That's the saddest part. All the "big artists who get popular" are posing as narcissistic stereotypes, real pieces of shit. Why are labels paying to have these types of songs and artists be the core of hiphop culture? Oh wait...
The reason I know it's not 100% fake is because a few legitimate geniuses with incredible talent and musical ability slip through the cracks. People like Kanye. But as a general rule, the whole scene is cooked.
Agreed. Kanye and a few others. Or listen to underground. The ones that don’t top the charts and never went to Diddler parties
Yes 🎯
Sounds like he got friendzoned too many times 😂
Reminds me of my high school days
It’s all theater. It’s fitting.
Music is like acting in movies
The child actor -> artist -> cultural influencer pipeline is so big lmao
Now I know why Alex Jones hated Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber hate was taken too far lol people hated a little kid for being talented and popular at such a young age
Bieber was probably diddled. Sad truth. I don't think many actually hated the kid, they hated how he was treated by the media and what his superstardom represented.
100% diddled. Sad
Yeah, most likely. It's pretty sad. That shit is disgusting. I hope he manages to protect his kids from what he had to go through himself.
100% diddled https://video.nostr.build/f0128645a9fb9a224b95bf3c9f2f105e6f3a0518d495a9e64d9af5cbdce1c266.mp4
It's crazy. I can't believe what we put up with. The fact that our highest icons, politicians, and artists are all in a satanic sex cult where they trade blackmail and use sex parties to establish hierarchy is horrendous. And everyone is lightly aware but nobody actually acts or internalizes what that means for the world.
It's like "oh I know Bill Clinton was with Epstein a million times, but here he is at the innaguration chumming it up!" Hillary parties with John and Tony Podesta, I wonder what kind of art and "food" they're into? Lebron sure loves his Diddy parties... etc.
And I will say, there is an underlying theme in a lot of these stories. The story of Christ is in many ways the story of the destruction of these behaviors and beliefs. A lot of people still try to subvert that.
But I'll stop ranting because unfortunately it's a fine line between seeing things as they are and being labeled a schizo lol.
The night is darkest just before the dawn. And I promise you, the dawn is coming.
I agree with everything you said but I’m just not religious. I do respect those values.
I'm not "religious" either in the sense that I don't go to church or strictly follow a dogma, but it has become undeniable how important it is to society and how much these stories can affect how different groups behave.
Higher questions about reality aside, people act based on fundamental cultural beliefs, and Christian beliefs align more with the higher values I aspire to. Buddhist too. And there are other sets of beliefs which actively undermine those in our culture and society.
I agree but there are also beliefs/values from religion that are problematic. For example, the belief that prayer will fix our problems. This is reflected in the rates of people working in fields of science and research. It’s mostly atheists in those fields. When religion was king, the Catholic Church became the tyrant holding humanity back.
Look at science today. There is truth in what you're saying, but a ton of past advancements in science were made by people of faith. The Catholic Church is an institution, it isn't a set of values itself. It can be corrupted and we've seen that be the case, especially during that period and Roman Empire times.
Prayer will fix your problems, but it is a metaphysical idea. It's more comparable to meditation then to writing a letter to Santa. I reccomend meditating on it, or if you're in a big hurry, taking a psychedelic and reflecting on it.
That sounds like incentives to me. Incentives is what led to corruption of the Catholic church and the Roman Empire (e.g. the incentive to clip coins and to bribe peasants with forgiveness of sins).
Prayer never fixed my problems. It’s always been my own actions which are driven by incentives. The incentive to have a better life led to me to look for solutions to my problems. Eventually this led me to bitcoin.
I know I did at some point.
