I don't know why any sane person would commit a 3G offense in the state of Texas anyway. Those types of crimes net almost NO profit and they're the most harshly treated by the court system.

If boyz would just stop and THINK for second and weigh the risk vs reward/consequence before they act you'd see much better results for everyone across the board.

Once again, I BEEN called this, along with some other people.

These club owners better read the room get they shyt together and quick.

Even though I hate seeing Black American businesses close in the city, I'm glad this happening,

The shift of focus to from joy and fun to clout and pretension has been one of the most corrosive aspects of modern Black American nightlife in Houston.

I been said one of the only shining lights emerging is the rise of live music and open mics- 1. Supporting local culture and artist(which are the entrepreneurs of culture) 2. Highly engaging 3. Centering the talent, decentering bought-clout.

The spots that are thriving are focusing on locals, dancing(think zydecos/trailrides) and Black professional/artistic crowds.

I hope the trend continues.

The criticism is along the same lines I had with the decline of Rap music. And you BEST believe there's a correlation between the two. Different taste in music among Black Americans seeking deeper connections with their culture and the cerebral arts are fueling new trends.

In other cities ngas quick to give the most broke, dumb, dusty yns all the respect, spotlight, and clout in the city just cuz they known for lettin off rounds. Not even knownin it's probably really a whole cornball, lame, no charisma havin 🥷🏿, who can't fight hiding behind that glick and shiesty mask.

Only for them same yns to openly disrespect and mock Y🅿️s and OGs when they get put in position, get platformed, go viral or w/e with they backdoor/roachin mentality.

But, notice, the Y🅿️s and OGs almost always have mutual respect for each other, especially in Houston.

That synergy is why in H-tine those are those are who get to shine here and not yns.

More entertainment from the dumbest type of criminals in Texas: armed robbers

Carjacking is especially stupid. We living in an age where ai Flock cameras exist. So, even without the play by play from the victim, as long as a general description of the vehicle and area he's is in is known the flock cameras would easily be able to identify it and track its movement block by block.

Again there's a reason why robbery clearance(solving the crime) rates are through the roof across the nation nowadays.

Not to mention this is a gun toting state and TX law is structured to actively encourage civilians to score a free kill on thieves.

What kinda dumb azz junky do you have to be to still think doing this kinda shyt is a come up?

Iono. It just seems like in the past decade or so with the rash of OTers(particularly from northern states) and foreigner men flocking to the city it brought a lame spirit of trickin and possessive(potentially violent) tendernizm.

Now a days lotta natives are conforming to the trickin and hyper possessiveness that we use to look down on.

Boyz out hea havin emotional outburst because they couldn't get a woman's number.🤦🏿‍♂️ Like lil dude, you need a therapist, not a girlfriend. And ain't nun wrong with therapy either btw.

We losing our playa made ways.

Youngins ain't in the mix of real playas anymore. The playas ain't schoolin the youngins on how to move anymore.

At the end of the day. Females gon female. You posed to be able to keep yo composure under pressure and be in position mentally, financially, and physically to pivot away from any situation that ain't favorable to you anymore with relative ease.

Anything legal regarding kids, property, leases, dissolving a marriage etc should be left to the courts. You don't get your hands dirty with that. The outcome is NEVER good.

That's why having good men, real playas in your corner is paramount. They the ones gon talk some sense into you and help you bounce back off a hard break up.

@ Bad Astronaut Brewing in Near Northside for Michael Prince birthday on Saturday

My homeboy and his gal pulled up.

If you really outside in the mix you know this is the type of music in the Black American space people are actually spending they money to hear nowadays in H-town. That section club culture is dying off.

People want to experience real authentic artistry and culture in person.

If you really serious about doing music, this is the direction you needa be looking. Fk the bs.

🗣️ It's a holiday in the city, mane! 🎶

I'm telling you these armed citizens know that TX laws are EXTREMELY lenient towards civilians against thieves and robbers and are starting to get REAL bold when it comes to aggressively pursing, confronting and shooting them. For instance if it's night time you're allowed to actually chase down thieves and shoot them to recover property

I keep telling y'all robbery and burglary are the dumbest crimes to commit in the state of Texas.

Trust, even going homeless 9/10 results in a better outcome than robbing. 💯

Lets discuss the reasons why 'houston drill' flopped after y'all swearing up and down this was the next big movement all because closet racist adam16 came down here and interviewed a guy who himself has since abandoned the movement already?😂

Y'all called anyone who said otherwise 'lame', 'old nigga', 'hater'.

We told y'all that shyt just don't fit the overall vibe of the city to make any kinda splash here. Anyone who's actually been outside where real people be at would've known this.

The problem is y'all drill fans are perpetual internet basement warriors, so you wouldn't know.

That shyt flopped not even a whole 6 months later. 😂

"Dat Screw Sound Ain't Neva Comin Back. Move On!".........Now look- one of the hottest rappers in the city is Quiet Money Dot, who literally built his entire sound off re-imagining the classic H tine sound that the entire city loves. 😂

Ian never letting y'all live this down! 😂

Dumb ahh jackers didn't stop and think the truck just might have a gps installed in it.

Now they done killed someone over a beat up ass pickup and are looking at a capital murder charge for which the sentencing is either life w/ no parole or death- nothing else!

The thing that gave H-town it's unique, timeless sound was its high level of musicality- live instrument interpolations, funky bass lines, bluesy melodies, jazzy chord progressions.

Producers like Beans and Cornbread, Mr. Lee, NO Joe, Mike Dean, Salih Williams, etc. didn't just get on a computer and program beats. They were real instrumental music composers.

Many of our most well-known rappers like Scarface, Pimp C, and Travis Scott grew up playing instruments.

Z-ro, Big Moe, Fat Pat, Mr 32 all display a deep understanding of rhythm, melody, harmony, breath control, pitch, tone, flow, cadence, and delivery beyond 'just' Rapping.

Real Talk, as someone familiar with both scenes- RN, the average local instrumental musician in the Black American leisure/nightlife space stays more booked and makes WAY more a night than the average local rapper!

Introduce these yougins who say they want to do music, but only mention rap, to the much broader world of music, having them learn how to read, write, transcribe, and play music- Something I guarantee you no one has ever bothered to do for them %99 of the time. Explain to them that Rap is simply ONE aspect of a much larger music ecosystem.

This is how we gon pull H town music back from the dark abyss of unoriginality, regional copycatism, cheap gimmicks, and shallow souless slop.

I like the direction Houston music is going! 💯

Can we get some real Black musicianship back in that H tine sound? 👀

I'd forgive the H-tine gods for not giving us 'It Is What It Is' part 2 if we got a Quiet Money Fastlane album. 🙏

🥷🏿s ain't only ones on 😈 time.

This TX- Even 🧑🏿‍🦱s keep that 🔫 on em. 🤓

🤯

"That's 90 days in the county and a $800 bond"

Bro had the shyt mapped out in his head already 😂

💯

Salue to him 🫡
