Using Keni Burke’s “Risin’ to the Top” as a backdrop, Redman provides an instructional guide on how to tightly pack weed inside of a cigar wrap or joint to enhance how high the smoker gets. Red also talks about the type of people that probably shouldn’t have access to rolling the blunt. The song was ranked #13 on Complex’s list of The Best Songs About Weed.^[1]

Risin’ to the Top (7" Version) · Keni Burke [03:43 | https://youtu.be/21kwgMDXIX0]

Released in 1982 from the Changes album, its chart position was 63. This song was sampled several times and is considered Burke’s signature song. It was also released on RCA Records. The song was a defining hit for Burke, his best selling song, and showcases his work outside of Five Stairsteps. It was produced by the same artist. Along with the track “Hang Tight,” the song was moderately successful, becoming a major hit for Burke, and it brought success to its parent album, being the album’s only hit single. “Risin’ To The Top” had a very electronic feel, with drums over guitar, strings and keyboards, and it became Burke’s best known track.^[2]

Eminem - Mockingbird (Official Music Video) [04:17 | Rap, In English, USA, Conscious Hip-Hop, Lullaby, Hip-Hop, Detroit Rap, Midwest Rap] https://youtu.be/S9bCLPwzSC0

Possibly the least offensive Eminem song ever, this Encore track is directed and dedicated to his daughters. Eminem acknowledges that growing up with his media image and Kim’s drug problem made for a difficult upbringing, not to mention their poverty-stricken beginnings. The lyrics are a personal, undisguised account of his early relationship with his wife and daughters. Critics praised the song for its lyrics. This song mixes an original rap dialogue about Eminem’s failed marriage, as he apologizes to his daughters with a straight melodic version of the traditional “Mockingbird” lullaby called “Hush, Little Baby”. The second verse is about the difficulties including Kim and Eminem’s divorce and the beginning of Eminem’s fame.^[1]

"Temporary” is the 15th track on Eminem’s album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), dedicated to his only biological daughter, Hailie.

In this heartfelt song featuring his long-time collaborator Skylar Grey, Eminem reflects on his fears of not being able to communicate his feelings to Hailie once he’s gone. Emphasizing the importance of family and staying strong through tough times, he assures Hailie that while pain and heartbreak are inevitable, they are “temporary.” The track includes personal anecdotes and recordings of conversations between him and the young Hailie, which add to the song’s authenticity and intimacy.

In an episode of her podcast, Hailie mentioned that this song particularly made her “audibly sob.” The song’s cover, teased as a single on Instagram, features a young Hailie on the background stage of the iconic The Eminem Show cover, with a note written on the side reading, “To my daddy, Love ya, from Hailie.”

A visual for the song was released on October 3rd, in which Hailie surprises Em with the news that he is going to be a grandfather.^[2]

Kayleigh Rose Amstutz (b. February 19, 1998), known professionally as Chappell Roan, is an American singer-songwriter currently signed to Amusement Records.

When she was 17 years old, Roan uploaded a song titled “Die Young” to YouTube, which would lead to her being discovered, and eventually signed by Atlantic Records.

Following the release of “Pink Pony Club” in April 2020, Roan would be dropped from Atlantic due to low commercial success at the time. She would continue to work alongside Dan Nigro on her debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess which would eventually release in 2023 under his label, Amusement Records, an imprint of Island Records.

Roan would rise to stardom in 2024, following her opening for Olivia Rodrigo’s “GUTS World Tour,” her NPR Tiny Desk Concert, and the release of her biggest single to date, “Good Luck, Babe!”^[1]

Chappell Roan’s rise to stardom has been 10 years in the making. Here’s how she became famous [Scottie Andrew | September 11, 2024 | https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/11/entertainment/chappell-roan-who-is-cec/index.html]

Chappell Roan is having the year of her life. Her songs are taking over TikTok, she’s touring the country to massive, record-breaking crowds and she’s been rising up the Billboard charts all summer long.

But Roan wasn’t pumped out of the pop-music machine as a fully formed star in 2024. Her ascent to stardom has been a steady climb, one thwarted by the pandemic and issues with her label, over 10 years. It just so happens that the last six months of her career have been stratospherically successful.

Ahead of Roan’s performance at the MTV Video Music Awards — once a star-making showcase for icons like Madonna, Britney Spears and Beyoncé — revisit Roan’s journey from Missouri teen musician to one of pop’s most exciting new faces in years.

She also leads the Billboard Artist 100 chart for the first time, ascending 3-1. The tally ranks the most popular artists of the week.

The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess earned 105,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Sept. 26 (up 64%) according to Luminate, marking its biggest week yet by units earned.* Traditional album sales comprise a career weekly-best 56,000 (up 328%). Vinyl sales were red-hot for the set, with 50,000 sold (up 548%), easily Roan’s best week on vinyl and the sixth-largest week for any vinyl album in 2024.

Midwest Princess’ total year-to-date sales now rise to 248,000 sold, making it the 10th-biggest selling album of 2024. The Tortured Poets Department has a runaway lead as the year’s top-seller, with 2.77 million. Her 2024 vinyl sales climb to 167,000 – the third-biggest selling vinyl title of the year thus far. Poets is also the top-selling vinyl album of 2024, with 1.03 million.

Awesome, I always enjoy their music videos!

Great collaboration with Atarashii Gakko!

Music in this video clip is a special arranged version, and also different from the original version included in the CD.

“What’s Up People?” is the opening track of the second season of the anime Death Note that later became the 10th track of Maximum the Hormone’s 2007 album Bu-ikikaesu.^[2]

You should see what happens when political tribalism takes place in the United States.

Strong emotions and financial strain with the working class at an all-time high, disdain towards other groups, and fights break out.

Assassination attempts and murder of activists and politicians due to disagreements.

I think it goes back to dividing the working class and keeping us entertained so we don’t pay attention to the status quo.

Ah, you are right.

That would really change my perspective and feelings about the song!

It has happened to me a few times, but such is life!

That would make me chuckle; I would still add it to my playlist, hahaha

restating the song’s message

Yeah, hahaha

Thanks for sharing this song with us!

Same!

You find an upbeat song that is really catchy, then you find out it is a really dark song when you see translated lyrics.

I still add it to my playlist though!

This song is an emblematic brazilian song, and brought world wide success to its creator, Sérgio Mendes. The song was recorded in 1966 as the name of the band suggest it. It is a cover of a 1963 song of the same name by Jorge Ben Jor, who was for a time a guitarist in Sergio Mendes band when touring in the US. The beginning anchor comes from an older song, Nanã Imborô by José Prates in 1958.

Despite the reputation of the song, the lyrics are a little bit cryptic.^[1]

José Prates - Nanã Imborô [04:35 | https://youtu.be/9-l_8BurV_4]

Sérgio Mendes, the pianist who gifted the world with the most famous version of the Brazilian classic “Mas Que Nada,” died on Thursday. Born in 1941, Mendes was a 20-year-old musician when he first arrived in the U.S. to perform at a historic Carnegie Hall concert that brought many bossa nova legends to New York in 1962. Two years after the show, Mendes moved to Los Angeles and never left the U.S. He also never abandoned Brazilian music, becoming one of the most significant ambassadors of bossa nova and samba around the world.^[2]

It seems that censorship, echo chambers, and tribalism are no bueno and that diverse ideas should be welcomed in discussions.

Lyrics^[1]

I am right (I am right)

I am correct (I am correct)

If you disagree with me I’ll get really upset

Playboy Manbaby’s “Don’t Let It Be” is the contradictory soundtrack to your contemporary life experience. Grimly sarcastic - yet youthfully nihilistic - this music crashes into reality with a semi-coherent deliberation that can only be generated by a group of frail but over-caffeinated and eternally-anxious young adults. Playboy Manbaby is the theme song to the sentiment “what the f** am I doing with my life?” With a kind of spazzy, post-pop-punk sheen, this album is indecisive in both message and genre but never lacking in absolute intensity.^[2]

Wrong question and framing.

Israel’s goal is not to get rid of Hamas or their leadership.

Their real goal has been to continue the genocide of the Palestinian people so as to take 100% control of the Palestinian land and to kickout the natives.

Some J-Pop, nice!

Music video; glad I watched it.

Gains are no joke.

Insane Clown Posse, often abbreviated as ICP, is an American hip hop duo. Formed in Detroit in 1989, ICP’s best-known lineup consists of rappers Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope. Insane Clown Posse performs a style of hardcore hip hop known as horrorcore and is known for its elaborate live performances. The duo has earned two platinum and five gold albums. According to Nielsen SoundScan, the entire catalog of the group had sold 6.5 million units in the United States and Canada as of April 2007. The group has established a dedicated following called Juggalos numbering in the “tens of thousands”. Originally known as JJ Boyz and Inner City Posse, the group introduced supernatural and horror-themed lyrics as a means of distinguishing itself stylistically. The duo founded the independent record label Psychopathic Records with Alex Abbiss as manager, and produced and starred in the feature films Big Money Hustlas and Big Money Rustlas.

Below made me chuckle, hahaha:

During episode 56 of Palcast, Shaggy 2 Dope was asked if the use of Auto-Tune in this track was meant as a criticism of modern rappers or if ICP were just trying out a new style. He responded:

“None of your business. It’s not a Q and A. Actually, it kind of is. I don’t fuckin’ know, man. […] I don’t hate on [Auto-tune…] If it’s over-used, it sounds like shit. It’s gotta be used very strategically, I think.”

Shaggy’s refusal to give a clear answer likely implies that he had little to do with the song compared to Violent J, who raps every verse.^[1]

TIL, thanks for sharing.

It seems to be just more celebrity drama, broken families, and relationships.

It reminds me of all the stuff that happened with Eminem and his family as well.

Don McLean Lyrics - “The Meanest Girl”

• You’re the meanest girl
• That I ever knew
• Did you know it
• Well you are
• You’re the meanest girl
• That I ever knew
• By far

• You’re an empty vessel, you’re a loaded gun
• You’re a Nazi general, you ain’t too much fun
• 'Cause you are really stupid
• And you’re ugly too
• Your face is full of worry lines
• From all the mean you do

• 'Cause you’re the meanest girl
• That I ever knew
• Did you know it
• Well you are
• Yeah you’re the meanest girl
• That I ever knew by far

• You’re a total stranger

• You’re wasting time on me

• You should spend some money

• And buy a personality

• 'Cause you’re always using people

• And you think they won’t catch on

• You should wear that COVID mask

• When the germ is gone

• 'Cause you’re the meanest girl
• That I ever knew
• Did you know it
• Well you are
• You’re the meanest girl
• That I ever knew by far

• You’re a hateful fireman
• Your situation’s dire
• Your Lucifer’s companion
• And you’re a funeral pyre
• You’re a [?] midnight
• You’re the living end
• You have been deleted
• Now I am pressing send

• 'Cause you’re the meanest girl
• That I ever knew
• Did you know it
• Well you are
• You’re the meanest girl
• That I ever knew by far

• You have no compassion
• No more happy bells
• It’s your hatred that defines you
• Your self pity smells
• You had a shining moment
• You had all the bests
• Now you’re an embarrassment
• You’re really just a pest

• 'Cause you’re the meanest girl
• That I ever knew
• Did you know it
• Well you are
• You’re the meanest girl
• That I ever knew by far
• You’re the meanest one I knew
• By far

Oh, awesome!

I put them between brackets, so that might be it.

What do you mean by tags?

Are you talking about tags on Mastodon?

I do know of Mastadon and the experiment with tags, but I did not know that they are implementing them already.

Thanks for explaining!
