Just read up on the whole issue as well. It seems like the whole thing is a mess. ACH clearly has a reason to be upset, but the circumstances with him apparently approving it until it came out definitely muddies the situation. It feels like there's more here, like this is the catalyst to other things that have been bothering him. I also think the intentions of WWE definitely make a difference of whether this should have been made public. If either the samboism was intentional or this is the final straw in a string of racial injustices he's experienced, then WWE fully deserves to be put on blast. But if it's an isolated incident that is more a case of WWE corporate not realizing how insensitive it is to represent a black guy with smiling red lips(according to Myles, the initial idea was a sort of parody of the Rolling Stones logo), then maybe it would be better to take this as a moment of education behind closed doors. Of course, that ignores WWE's history of racially insensitive content, so they probably deserve to be called out in general. And I think this definitely hints at more problems he's already been dealing with behind the curtain.

What's the story with ACH? Has he been tweeting some shit?

I'm pretty sure that's one detail they completely gloss over.

AMostly been on my Wu-Tang kick still. I won't bother anyone with the 36 Chambers shit because anyone who cares has probably heard that album ad nauseum. And while I don't think any group album since has surpassed it, I've been digging into some stuff that at least hits. And The Saga Continues hits. It's all produced by mathematics instead of RZA(the dude who created the W symbol), and there are some good jams on here. Feels closer to a proper Wu album than anything after The W. Was turned on to it after this track played in the credits of an episode of An American Saga: Also spent my work day on Tuesday listening to Wu Tang Forever, which I think is a mostly good album. I feel had they made it a single LP instead of the double album, they could have cut out a lot of the filler and had a tighter, more satisfying album. Some tracks just don't really grab me, and the beats a lot of times feel meandering. But the tracks that are great are excellent, and could easily stand up to the rest of the library. One of my favorites just so happens to be the first single, including one of the best verses from Inspectah Deck: Obviously, I've been jamming a lot of their solo albums(particularly Liquid Swords and Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...), but to break up the pattern a bit, I listened to some clipping. Such a unique hip-hop act. Different beats that the closest thing I can think to compare them to is Death Grips, and Daveed Diggs has a crazy flow. For those that don't know, Diggs plays Thomas Jefferson in Hamilton. Also, their video concepts are insane:

TV Taping in my town in December. Already have tickets. I'm pretty hyped. I thought I'd have to wait until the next time they come around to Chicago some time next year.

I'll have to give those A listen. Only real reason I know of Jaco is because of Trio of Doom. Dude definitely knows his way around a bass.

I relate to this so hard. Did you first hear this from Luke Cage?

As an addendum, I just finished another run of Crack the Skye, and I think I still have underrated it. It's quickly growing on me.

School has been ridiculous, so I haven't had the chance to play anything. Tis sad. I might try to actually beat Sans in Undertake again this weekend, but I don't think I'll have time.

Meant to post in the last one, but I had listened to something I had planned to mention, and couldn't remember what it was. My Mastodon kick persisted longer. Was listening to Blood Mountain and Crack the Skye. I severely underrated those albums, particularly Crack the Skye. Just a constantly evolving Mastodon getting musically better with each album. That said, I think I still prefer Blood Mountain. But who knows? Maybe this means I can give The Hunter another run and actually come out liking it? Probably my favorite track from the two albums: Been jamming some El-P also. I never ended up giving Cancer 4 Cure a proper listen because I'd always hear the first track and get a bit uninterested. It was a fine song, just felt like too basic of a "techno" beat to make me feel the rest of the album would be the typical production genius we get from El-P. I did really like "The Full Retard," though, and having now listened to the whole thing...hot damn, that's a really good album. The couple features are handled really well, some thought-provoking lyrics as usual, and the beats are just so damn hot. The song that's stuck with me the most is definitely Drones Over Bklyn: Also listened to a specific track from an old British thrash band called Sabbat. I'm not very big into their stuff as a whole, and I've only heard and owned one album. But that one song is a perpetual classic for me. I first heard it as a Cradle of Filth cover, and it was always one of the few CoF songs I actually liked. It wasn't until I bought the album it was on that I realized it was a cover, and I had to seek the original out. Nothing like some extreme metal talking about The Salem Witch Trials. The hook is infectious, and I absolutely love the sample at the beginning: I've also been going on a big Wu Tang kick since I've been watching An America Saga, but I could post so much from that, so I'll probably save some of the for next week.

I want that purely for the DAW.

I am not in the know. Share the dirty deets.

Excuse me. Lio Rush album introducing the All Mighty Bobby Lashley was pure gold, and I'll hear nothing else.

I haven't yet watched the new episode, but based on what happens, I'm so excited about the exposition the show is about to dive into. The tournament arc is one of my favorite parts of the manga. Not because it's a tournament and those are always hype for Shonen, but rather it's the first time we get more of a taste of what the story can do when it's a bit more action-oriented. And what's wonderful about it for me is how well it blends the scientific elements with true combat. It's not the last time we get it, but it is the first time it becomes a primary focus.

I will say that ending makes me consider just skipping out on SmackDown and sticking to RAW, NXT and Dynamite. The rest of the show was pretty good. Loved parts of it. But I have zero interest in the WWE Title scene.

I was jamming some of The Alchemist's old albums the other day while on the bus and walking between classes. I never heard much of his stuff before like 2010, so it was pretty dope to see how talented he was back then. Some really awesome beats under some good raps from some surprising features. A lot of Prodigy on these tracks which is always a plus. Speaking of Nas, here's one of my favorites off 1st Infantry: Also been jamming this a couple times for the first time in yeeeeeears: Also listened to the entirety of Eric B. & Rakim's Follow The Leader. Such a classic album.

I really dig the new OP. MUCH better than the one they just had. I couldn't get into that one at all.

Ohhhh, ok. So it's kind of similar to NaNoWriMo. I meant to ask what exactly Inktober is. My drawing is shite, so I won't participate, but I'll be happy to see what you produce. Great start so far!

Is that the one that's free on the eShop?

That's funny, because Hemispheres is my favorite, and AFTK is probably a close third at worst. Xanadu is actually one of the first non-radio songs I heard from Rush, so that one is a classic that always gets me. It was also the first epic song I listened to on acid, and that was a beautiful journey.

Had to drive to a town about an hour away, and spent the ride listening to these gems. The full album, of course. Think I listened to that one almost two times the whole way through before I swapped to Moving Pictures. Being the first Rush album I own e and probably their most popular, I had forgotten how damn good that album is, from start to finish. Really love the sound of "Witch Hunt": Also been reliving some of my high school thrash days with Rumpelstiltskin Grinder: Just good, heavy thrash bordering on death metal. They also have a theme called "Criminal Thrash" where most of the lyrical topics are based around a fictional crime organization.

Ohhhhhh shit! My boy! Even though my mancrush subsided on him a while ago, John Morrison was one of my new favs when I got back into wrestling in 2010. Didn't catch much of his Impact stuff, but I liked what he did as Johnny Mundo in Lucha Underground.

To this day, I'm still surprised they haven't utilized 3.0(Ever-Rising, just in case) more frequently, even in a jobbing capacity. A solid team with some decent charisma. Still need to watch the first half hour(assuming that's where the Lee/Dijakovic match happened), but overall this was another strong show. Riddle/Dain was tight.
