J'ai jamais été aussi prêt pour les Rencontres Astronomiques du Printemps... Sauf que je n'y suis pas cette année 😭
Les télescopes sont installés, collimatés, le ciel est là. Mes premières photos sont déjà dans la boîte depuis la nuit dernière !
C'est parti pour une petite #StarParty en solitaire en centre Bretagne
Promis, les copain·e·s astrams des #RAP, on se retrouvera l'année prochaine ! #ClearSky !
We see the lies in ’em
Claimin’ it's antisemitic to be anti-Zionist
I’ve seen Jewish brothers and sisters out there and ridin' in
Solidarity and screamin' "Free Palestine" with them
Organizin', unlearnin’ and finally cuttin' ties with
A state that's gotta rely on an apartheid system
To uphold an occupyin' violent
History been repeating for the last seventy-five
The Nakba never ended, the colonizer lied
Ngl- it do be a relevant and relatable banger tho. But thats why we all hate it- its too good for Mackle More what next- a song about #freepalestine from fking Nickleback?
Whens Eminem gonna drop "Eyeballs blown out and loose like scattered Israeli couscous"? Like dafuq
Das "Basement26" in Frankfurt am Main ist für viele Jugendliche ein wichtiger Anlaufpunkt. Ein Weg für die Sozialarbeiter, mit ihnen in Kontakt zu treten, ist Rap. Über die Musik verarbeiten sie schwere Erlebnisse. Von Joscha Bartlitz.
As a Gen #Xennial (1975/8 to 1983/5), and from the #Philippines where my era was all about #hiphop / #rap, my taste has always been wideleg and bootcut + waist or low waist.
It's good seeing our era in fashion is making a comeback. I mean, we won't hear Gen Z and Gen Alpha whispering #oldie or #classic when we're outside. 🤣🤣😅😅😂😂😅😅
The judge in a sprawling Georgia racketeering trial centered on Grammy-winning rapper Young Thug ruled the artist’s lyrics can be admitted as evidence. Prosecutors say the songs contain admissions of directing gang activity, but the defense says lyrics don’t equate to real crimes. Read more from CNN about the case and why critics say the use of a rap lyrics as evidence is a racist double standard. https://flip.it/d0AcAH #RICO#Lyrics#Georgia#Rap

Po tym, jak ostatnio wkrecilo mi sie #ShakespearsSister, dzisiaj w trasie do Gdanska w aucie leciala playlista utworow skojarzonych tym duetem (jeden z niewielu przypadkow, kiedy jakis algorytm jest do czegos naprawde przydatny i dobrze dobiera podpowiedzi).
To byla rewelacyjna podroz do przeszlosci i najlepiej wspominanych przeze mnie utworow pop i rock z lat 80 i poczatku 90.
I tu pada moje pytanie, a moze zaczatek do dyskusji (boosty mile widziane, jesli ten temat uwazacie za ciekawy).
Jakie byly Wasze domowe, rodzinne inspiracje muzyczne? Przelozyly sie na to czego sluchacie teraz? Moi rodzice raczej za bardzo inspiracja dla mojego gustu nie byli xD O ile u mamy jeszcze uszlo (Wodecki, Santor, ostatecznie Rodowicz) to do muzycznych preferencji ojca nie bede sie przyznawal xD
U mnie to byl przekroj od starych kaset z kawalkami Modern Talking i Bananaramy sluchanych na walkmenie Sony, rockowe kipy gdy jeszcze MTV puszczalo muzyke, przez Liste Przebojow 30 Ton na TVP2, nagrywanie koncertu Jarre'a ze Spodka na magnetofonie, po liste Hop-Bec na RMF i w koncu utwory klubowe w Planecie FM - wiec chyba gust muzyczny mam bardzo szeroki (klasyczny rock, troche metalu, stary pop, rap, elektronika, muzyka klubowa, itp.), ale jednak zawsze najwieksze ciary czulem wtedy, gdy w tle bylo duzo elektroniki i syntezatorow.
Dette er kanskje litt av et nisjespørsmål, men jeg leter etter #norsk#rap med spesielt rask flyt, som et norskspråklig Tech N9ne, Twista, eller liknende. Jeg liker den norske rappen jeg har finnet, men fer det meste, det har mer en avslappet flyt, og noen ganger jeg vil ha musikk skrevet etter nitten kopper kaffe.
50 years ago today, DJ Kool Herc (aka Clive Campbell) put on a "back-to-school jam" in the rec room of an apartment block in the West Bronx. Entrance cost 25c for "ladies" and 50c for "fellas." Herc took the chance to show off a technique he'd developed where he switched between copies of the same record to extend drum breaks, talking over the music at the same time, and hip-hop was born. Here's a look at how that moment created a culture.
