now, coming from generation x and seeing the polo and money rolls and expensive cars and houses depreciating before my eyes… we thought these dudes had cracked the code, smashed through that glass ceiling, no limits, on to the millennials living life and running it up being exploited like if your attire didn’t cost as much as a used car you weren’t in on the pathology. now we have administrations giving away money like its candy because the country can’t afford its macro/micro economic responsibilities without devaluing the currency so we can fill in the blanks where we can’t domestically produce what we need. and if the government can get that to work for poor people such as myself… hallelujah… however, there must be some requiem for our music and miseducation. i’m not talking about that trash that y’all listen to because the powers that be have totally destroyed us and have you on the path to self-destruction as well. it’s always been a dice roll, ya know. the cool thing about rap to the average a&r corporate executive is that, with the right ghost writer, every one of your favorite rap/pop stars is totally replaceable. same thing with my little blog side hustle with teespring, they handle all of the factors of production, i just try to make their blanks look pretty and hope they pay me. back off of that sad tangent… it was the concerts (where most musical artists made most of their money.) it’s basically make business plans and insert ghetto kid here. if you’re not popular enough to tour and we are both unsatisfied with the pennies on a dollar of record sales that we offer you… detach ghetto plug here, the dividends are referred to as “points” and unless you are capable of producing your own music you have to split those “points” with someone who is and in a surprising number of situations these artists end up working for a little more than minimum wage and living in gentrified public housing buildings because i do believe that there are a small variety of project apartments for the upper working class to the dirty poor and certifiable. the establishment couldn’t stop until most of our favorite rappers were dead or in jail. crypto is going to make this even more interesting by complicating the function of the federal reserve bank policy setters and with idiot savant influencers like kanye “ye” west… or just idiots, who knows, signing deals with adidas to make 500$ now 200$ sneakers that God forbid he is responsible for offloading. i could just see him in a dark room surrounded with these unsaleable sneakers losing value every day bar him coming up with some way of keeping them relevant sobbing uncontrollably… you know what? your boy ain’t real stupid and you can get authentic brand new ye’s at amazon. i’m just going to post my favorite pair, i’m an amazon associate so you can decide whether or not your going to buy me a latte if you click. if you want to take advantage of a victim of hubris down on his luck, this is the time to do it. decent lounge sneaker, can’t see it being good for much else. same for the nike. your man has to be bleeding on this one. look people, this stuff, besides the page i linked you to, is no longer available on the official amazon adidas store. i don’t know what deal he made behind those anti-semitic remarks but if that doesn’t tweak your conscience and you consider yourself to be a fashionista on a budget they are liquidating everything with his name on it, all you have to do is search “adidas yeezy,” if you want the more expensive sku’s but like i said, they’re not in the official amazon adidas store, dude must have been in a bad way on his contract.
so the plot gains lucid clarity as nike has now manufactured a collection of their own “weird kicks” for less than 100$ under the guise of being a serviceable running shoe. you ever run in a pair of crocs? exactly. upon first observation (i’m trying not to just rant.) kanye’s line is more creatively designed and he basically cut himself off from his potential fan base with his huge chicago mouth. now include elon musk writing ghost checks for the trump administration with his own personal crypto known as doge coin and calling it an initiative and not a scam… and then mr. trump quietly inventing his own crypto presumably to cut out the middleman with his global oligarchy of high-powered funders and concoct a new scam. i mean… the world economy is scamming and unfortunately in a good number of those cases… warring, but let’s say education is a scam, to succeed you gotta be ready to roll those dice and say goodbye to loved ones. civil rights are more accurately referred to as a civil adjustment… tomorrow ain’t promised and if you wanna win you need to be willing to just “ride the storm.”
r.i.p. D’angelo and Angie… does it have to be love? i don’t want a woman’s soul calling out to me like that,
peace,
the ummi
