I remember hating Kobe, because he broke my heart mad times as a Nuggets fan, and he was the best player I've ever seen live (a Rockets game, they won of course) but I grew to respect his game and his approach to it. He was the last of a dying breed of strong willed, take no bullshit type of players from the great 80s and 90s. Kobe was special not only as a player but as a person, I knew he was the guy when he appeared on shows like Moesha for example.

Rest in peace Kobe, Gigi and the rest of those that tragically passed on that day. How did you remember him as a player?

Polygamous Relationships

I cannot for the life of me figure out why so many people are getting into these poly relationships. Then again after remembering that I studied eastern religions, I understand why they practiced polygamy and it had to do with extending the bloodrite or bloodline. Now that the western community has gotten ahold of the subject matter, it has nothing to do with religion and I've only heard of a small portion giving birth. So that just lives pleasure sex as an option, please tell me I'm wrong. Everytime I see the phrase ENM or Poly, I remember TBA saying 'Get in where you fit in' 😆 🤣 😂. It looks like the people who got picked over are creating a colony or village of their own.

Should we be worried?

If you didn't see the news, 4 or 5 days ago a truck loaded with monkeys that were experimented on was in an accident in PA. Some woman (stupid, stupid woman!) got out of her car and was "helping". She is now on a one-month quarantine for several different diseases including COVID. According to her Facebook post, she has COVID but most places are just reporting she has pink eye. You can read the story below.


Do you think we need to be worried? I feel like the media is "underplaying this" because it would be bad for politics. They are trying to sweep everything under the rug because primaries are coming up. People aren't going to forget these last two years though. And if this ends up being serious and they did little about it... People will lose it.

Since They're Doing All These Remasters...

...this is the game that needs to make a comeback! Login to view embedded media View: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sxkc4MVB7O4

Anybody who played FFNY can attest that this is one of the GOAT fighting games.

The gameplay? A1!
The visuals? A1!
The roster? A1!
And the soundtrack? A1!

There were rumors of a sequel a few years back, but nothing ever materialized. Somebody, somewhere needs to bring back this classic!

The Intelligencia of New Black Media: TBA's Predictions

The Black Authority was having a field day last weekend with Jeaux46. It isn't looking good for the blue crew as they continue to keep grasping for straws. This alert came right after the MoT this morning, and my news feed keeps playing channels I've blocked, does anyone know how to resolve this?

Chinese Scientist Claims That Egypt Is Their Homeland

The same type of Chinese scientists who make lettuce out of plastic are now trying to rewrite history.
The Chinese are trying to push the theory that since the Hyksos brought Egyptian technology and culture into the land that we now call China, then that gives the Chinese a (false) claim to an Egyptian lineage.
This is in contrast to the Out Of Africa model, which asserts that all of the world's populations emanate from African people.

The Professor Doesn't Miss: The Incompetent Operative Class #MorningAddress

This morning is woke up to the second iteration of dissecting Kamau Bell and his field character assassination of Bill Cosby. Its during this iteration that I realized that most of us in this space are on some sort of network, others call it code/vibe/wavelength or what have you. Given that, just yesterday evening in the store is was thinking, everything I have the term 'conversation' is either one-way or just straight slander in modern observation. His take down of Bari Weiss on the 24th though left me speechless in a 'Clarke vs Lefkowitz 96' kind of way. Odd part is that her awful interview on JRE popped up in my feed next, and that was comical.
● Moment of Truth videos go very well with coffee Cheers!

Ex-Wives

My ex-wife told me she still loves me 13yrs after or divorce. Of I don't feel the same way. We married for over 20yrs but I spent so much much of my time away from home due to working overseas. I even had a lady-friend for 10 years a traveling companion who I loved more than my wife. I broke that off when I left that job, but my ex-wife found out and cheated on me.
For me that was unforgivable, our kid finished HS and I left, I realize my foul ways because I know I was not only cheating with my girlfriend but with others as well, but I wanted to stay with my family until all my kids got through HS & I did. Now she comes telling me we should try again, but it's to late for me I'm remarried to a woman I love endlessly.
I took a good woman, and made a mess not proud but I want ppl to learn, I'm lucky I found someone who I explained my past and didn't hold it against me, I wish her the same.

Is old music killing new music?

Is Old Music Killing New Music?​

Old songs now represent 70 percent of the U.S. music market. Even worse: The new-music market is actually shrinking.
By Ted Gioia

About the author: Ted Gioia writes the music and popular-culture newsletter The Honest Broker on Substack. He is also the author of 11 books, including, most recently, Music: A Subversive History.

Old songs now represent 70 percent of the U.S. music market, according to the latest numbers from MRC Data, a music-analytics firm. Those who make a living from new music—especially that endangered species known as the working musician—should look at these figures with fear and trembling. But the news gets worse: The new-music market is actually shrinking. All the growth in the market is coming from old songs.

The 200 most popular new tracks now regularly account for less than 5 percent of total streams. That rate was twice as high just three years ago. The mix of songs actually purchased by consumers is even more tilted toward older music. The current list of most-downloaded tracks on iTunes is filled with the names of bands from the previous century, such as Creedence Clearwater Revival and The Police.

I encountered this phenomenon myself recently at a retail store, where the youngster at the cash register was singing along with Sting on “Message in a Bottle” (a hit from 1979) as it blasted on the radio. A few days earlier, I had a similar experience at a local diner, where the entire staff was under 30 but every song was more than 40 years old. I asked my server: “Why are you playing this old music?” She looked at me in surprise before answering: “Oh, I like these songs.”

Never before in history have new tracks attained hit status while generating so little cultural impact. In fact, the audience seems to be embracing the hits of decades past instead. Success was always short-lived in the music business, but now even new songs that become bona fide hits can pass unnoticed by much of the population.

Only songs released in the past 18 months get classified as “new” in the MRC database, so people could conceivably be listening to a lot of two-year-old songs, rather than 60-year-old ones. But I doubt these old playlists consist of songs from the year before last. Even if they did, that fact would still represent a repudiation of the pop-culture industry, which is almost entirely focused on what’s happening right now.

Every week I hear from hundreds of publicists, record labels, band managers, and other professionals who want to hype the newest new thing. Their livelihoods depend on it. The entire business model of the music industry is built on promoting new songs. As a music writer, I’m expected to do the same, as are radio stations, retailers, DJs, nightclub owners, editors, playlist curators, and everyone else with skin in the game. Yet all the evidence indicates that few listeners are paying attention.

Consider the recent reaction when the Grammy Awards were postponed. Perhaps I should say the lack of reaction, because the cultural response was little more than a yawn. I follow thousands of music professionals on social media, and I didn’t encounter a single expression of annoyance or regret that the biggest annual event in new music had been put on hold. That’s ominou

Can you imagine how angry fans would be if the Super Bowl or NBA Finals were delayed? People would riot in the streets. But the Grammy Awards go missing in action, and hardly anyone notice

The declining TV audience for the Grammy show underscores this shift. In 2021, viewership for the ceremony collapsed 53 percent from the previous year—from 18.7 million to 8.8 million. It was the least-watched Grammy broadcast of all time. Even the core audience for new music couldn’t be bothered—about 98 percent of people ages 18 to 49 had something better to do than watch the biggest music celebration of the yea

A decade ago, 40 million people watched the Grammy Awards. That’s a meaningful audience, but now the devoted fans of this event are starting to resemble a tiny subculture. More people pay attention to streams of video games on Twitch (which now gets 30 million daily visitors) or the latest reality-TV show. In fact, musicians would probably do better getting placement in Fortnite than signing a record deal in 2022. At least they would have access to a growing demographiphic.

Some would like to believe that this trend is just a short-term blip, perhaps caused by the pandemic. When clubs open up again, and DJs start spinning new records at parties, the world will return to normal, or so we’re told. The hottest songs will again be the newest songs. I’m not so optimistic.

Read: Why aren’t there more women working in audio?

A series of unfortunate events are conspiring to marginalize new music. The pandemic is one of these ugly facts, but hardly the only contributor to the growing crisis.

Consider these other trends:

The leading area of investment in the music business is old songs. Investment firms are getting into bidding wars to buy publishing catalogs from aging rock and pop stars.
The song catalogs in most demand are by musicians who are in their 70s or 80s (Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen) or already dead (David Bowie, James Brown).
Even major record labels are participating in the rush to old music: Universal Music, Sony Music, Warner Music, and others are buying up publishing catalogs and investing huge sums in old tunes. In a previous time, that money would have been used to launch new artists.
The best-selling physical format in music is the vinyl LP, which is more than 70 years old. I’ve seen no signs that the record labels are investing in a newer, better alternative—because, here too, old is viewed as superior to new.
In fact, record labels—once a source of innovation in consumer products—don’t spend any money on research and development to revitalize their business, although every other industry looks to innovation for growth and consumer excitement.
Record stores are caught up in the same time warp. In an earlier era, they aggressively marketed new music, but now they make more money from vinyl reissues and used LPs.
Radio stations are contributing to the stagnation, putting fewer new songs into their rotation, or—judging by the offerings on my satellite-radio lineup—completely ignoring new music in favor of old hits.
When a new song overcomes these obstacles and actually becomes a hit, the risk of copyright lawsuits is greater than ever before. The risks have increased enormously since the “Blurred Lines” jury decision of 2015, and the result is that additional cash gets transferred from today’s musicians to old (or deceased) artists.
Adding to the nightmare, dead musicians are now coming back to life in virtual form—via holograms and “deepfake” music—making it all the harder for young, living artists to compete in the marketplace.

The heritage of what would become macOS had originated at NeXT, a company founded by Steve Jobs following his departure from Apple in 1985. There, the Unix-like NeXTSTEP operating system was developed, before being launched in 1989. The kernel of NeXTSTEP is based upon the Mach kernel, which was originally developed at Carnegie Mellon University, with additional kernel layers and low-level user space code derived from parts of BSD.[14] Its graphical user interface was built on top of an object-oriented GUI toolkit using the Objective-C programming language.

Here's an underrated guy that few talk about

King Tee, problem a top ten west coast rapper and definitely a 🐐 caliber MC. Brought us another underrated group of MCs the Liks and was the main influence of Notorious B.I.G. A strong discography and a leader of the alternative movement to the dominant gangster rap scene.

Tension between the NATO mafia and Russia

Over the last week lamestream media has been attempting to shovel off 46s approval ratings off the front page and find something else. Anyone who understands how modern American Policy works understands that a President with sinking approval ratings must got to war or start a campaign. The newest campaign is this dog whistle of the Ukraine (a non NATO state) and Russia. NATO and its allies have lost favor with most of the world only to began infighting with each other. The earliest signs were Brexit and most recently between the UK and Ireland. Racially speaking, its is rumored as of late that Ukrainians also have a special type of Anti-Black racism with its Azov and Svoboda groups recruiting military officer cadets and enlisted alike.

☆HOWEVER, that's not the magic bullet, as the white population in America loses influence, they find themselves grasping for white people to import. A factor contributing to the relatively high death in the Ukraine is a high mortality rate among working-age males from preventable causes such as alcohol poisoning and smoking. In 2008, the country's population was one of the fastest declining in the world at -5% growth.

We Subjugate Ourselves Globally. ECOWAS Sanctions Mali.

Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAbaAi7VJU0&t=28


To sum this video up:
  • Malians kicked out French Troops
  • France was mad
  • ECOWAS put sanctions on Mali
So Malians are rejecting France and a West African Bloc of Nations (ECOWAS) decides to put sanctions on them.

Confused Thinking GIF by MOODMAN


You know how you know it's a bad move for Africa? Because America agrees with the sanctions:


This is that nonsense that keeps us subjugated globally. Black people working with White Supremacists to keep us all oppressed. Europe could not keep this system going without our own help.

This is the same thing at a micro scale. Coons help keep us subjugated at a micro and macro level.

This news is disgusting.

A white supremacist website got hacked, airing all its dirty laundry

Study your enemies they way they study you, learn everything you can about them so you know how to defeat them.
White supremacy is all these people have to make them feel important, by default they are earth's mediocre, we have been the standard since the dawn of time.
Never fear these kkkowards... Ever.

Opinion: The Black Boogeyman Lie

This is a good read, most of what's pointed out is mostly known among FBA, it's no secret this country, our country have people in it that don't like us. I could care less about their reasons for not liking us, I just can't go along with the stereotypes they attach to us. Will this ever change?

Look what I stumbled on...These pink MF's got money and need to pay this ever so rising debt. Last night I think I heard the slow rumblings of covert planning of 4 man cells that "don't" know about the others nor did I have the feeling of "God Bless AmeriKKKa"!!!

You know what? Last time I check there wasn't 1 ewish hook nosed soul killed in any type of camp. So why does this MF crooked government want to play games like they can't pay FBA's what owned to them? Maybe if the open ended targets (news stations) really start taking L after L.

My problem with the ewish ppl was with my 2nd grade teacher...Who kept me to be last going out for recess. This hook nosed skank told me that my dark hue reminded her of her morning shit. You think that changed me for the better or no?

This country IS going to fall like Rome but harder and much Bloodier.
