Why I Listen to Spanish Music

-


What happened to R&B? There used to be songs like Pretty Brown Eyes by Mint Condition:

https://youtu.be/4OuXVn4Aad8


Pretty brown eyesYou know I see youIt's a disguise the way you treat me
You keep holding onTo your thoughts of rejectionIf you're with me you're secured
You keep telling meThat your time is always takenBut I keep seeing you out alone
Listen to loveYour heart is pounding with desireWaiting to be unleashed


Now there’s songs like Pu$$y fairy by Jhene Aiko
https://youtu.be/wy2ujCUtCHU


Cause I got you sprung off in the spring timeFuck all your free timeYou don't need no me timeThat's you and me timeWe be gettin' so loudThat dick make my soul smileThat dick make me so damn proudNow lay your head down on the pillowTurn the lights down real lowI want you to say my nameClose your eyes and let your feels goNow you're gettin' real closeBaby, I am on the way


My problem isn’t so much with the content, but how explicit everything is. When I was growing up, we had songs like TLC Red Light Special, where you had to be of certain experience to know what they were talking about. There was creativity behind it. They didn’t just come out and say it.  If you don’t believe me, go to the Apple Music R&B now and listen to the songs. With the exception of a couple of songs, they’re all like that, and IMO they barely qualify as R&B (that’s a convo for another post).


Now, compare the above songs to Curame by Prince Royce

Woman, I want your loveNot having you is a problemAnd your kisses are my solution How do you do it when you don't have meHow you calm your soulTell me if you feel that this doesn't workTell me now Tell me if there is another who overheats youLet me find you at the same time If you let me I will be back to fall in loveIf that's the caseBaby, I just want to love you It's obvious that you are my addictionHeal me, heal me womanIf everything is a matter of you giving me your love.


Spanish songs have the lyrics I miss in old R&B. Now, I just have to leave Spanish....

An Honest Look at DEI

-

This isn’t about whether or not DEI is needed (that’s a whole different post for a whole different day) rather this post is about whether or not DEI in this iteration actually helps minorities in the gaming space. The whole SBI/Gamergate 2 drama made me realize something, and apparently, I've been circling around this realization for quite some time , but I didn't fully realize it until the whole SBI/Gamergate 2 drama kicked off. Since its inception, DEI and SJW's have made it worse for minorities in the creative business. I grew up in the late 90's early 2000's and there was a plethora, and abundance of minority characters everywhere, and no one cared. Every fighting game had women and minorities fighting on equal ground with everyone else. So what if Mario and Zelda rescued the princess? Marle from Chrono Trigger didn't need to be rescued, neither did Ayla. The Androids in DBZ? the women in Naruto? Celes and Tifa in the Final Fantasy games. I could go on and ...

The Osmosis Effect

-

  In boxing, the osmosis effect is when a less experienced or less skilled boxer gets better by training with or competing against a more experienced or more skilled boxer. The better the opposing boxer, the faster the less experienced boxer levels up.  I’ve known about this concept forever, but it can be applied to anything. Writing, fishing, photography; and the most important aspect of the osmosis effect is the more experience person doesn’t even have to instruct the less experienced one. Just being around someone better, seeing how they operate, is enough. Proverbs 27:17: As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another

Zuckerberg Rebrand

Back in 2017, there were rumors Zuckerberg was making a presidential run. Some say there were rumors while others claim he was only 'testing the waters.' I think he was testing the waters, but either way, those rumors went away as fast as they appeared. Lately, clips of Zuckerberg training in combat sports started popping up , and with him being a billionaire who owns Facebook it’s safe to assume he's aware of how popular red pill content and people like Andrew Tate have become. I believe he's "training" in combat sports in an attempt to come across as more relatable with young men and the right wing...or I could be wrong and he's just doing this because he enjoys it. If he's training because he likes it, then more power to him and more people should follow his example.
