Unpopular opinion and a bit of an UNO reverse on "I can't even hear the bass!!!" but I think aside from Bonzo's thundering drums, it's the bass that carries the song. It is what I felt when I first listened to the song, and it is what I still feel while typing this post. Bass is so incredibly hypnotizing. I can listen to it for hours.

Çok iyiydi, en iyisiydi diyenler dopamin kölesi olmuş fikrimce. Her 30 saniyede bir skor yapılan basketbol gibi sporlar size daha zevkli gelecektir.

Hiçbir futbolseverin ilk yarıyı izleyip de ne maçtı be diyeceğini düşünmüyorum. Adeta bitsin de gidelim diyen bir Fransa'nın acaba ikinci yarı 4-0'dan çevirebilir miyiz diye kendine challenge koyduğu bir maç oldu. Sevinen taraf İngiltere. İsteselerdi kazanacaklarını bildiğimiz taraf Fransa. Bir takım kendini ortaya koymuyorsa isterse 100 gol atılsın o maçın bir değeri yoktur.

Bugünkü Fransa-Fas maçının hakemlerinin Arjantinli olmasını sorun eden mi dersin, dünkü maçta Mısır'ın her faul beklentisini doğru bulan mı dersin, Arjantin'in attığı gollere sevinen Arjantin Futbol Federasyonu başkanının sevinç anını FIFA başkanları Messi'nin kazanmasına seviniyor diye paylaşan mı dersin...

Sıkıldım artık. Bu iş bu kadar derin değil. İnsanlık gelişmiyorsa komplo teorileri yüzünden gelişmiyor.

I am an international student who wants to study undergrad at ANU. My friend from Sydney (who'll also start at ANU next year) and I made a financial plan, and even if I get 25% scholarship and work in a part-time job, I'll need roughly $250/w for housing.

Do you know where I can look for external scholarships? I'm willing to do anything. Thank you in advance.

I just finished listening to Illmatic for the first time in my life and liked the album... but I feel like it didn't live up to the insane amount of hype it was surrounded by

It was just too hardcore for my taste. I can see how Nas can be considered the greatest MC because even without following the lyrics, you can tell by ear how intertwined the rhymes are. That's amazing. But in a purely "enjoyment" based opinion, I would only listen to two or three of the songs for the rest of my life if my mind doesn't change (my picks would be N.Y. State of Mind, One Love, and Represent)

On the other side, I just realized that I can listen to any song from Ready to Die for a whole day, and I wouldn't even be bored. It's just more pleasing. Beats are better, and Biggie's laid-back, effortless flow is just great. It feels like Nas tried too hard to make it this good. He nailed it, but at what cost?

One part of the reason could be that English is not my first language, and that naturally makes it harder to appreciate rapping in English. I tried my best while following the Illmatic, but I think Ready to Die is still the best hip-hop album ever. No disrespect to Nasty Nas
