When rappers do this, I’m reminded of professional wrestlers who started blurring the line in their minds between their gimmick and reality, such as Macho Man Randy Savage and Bruiser Brody, who many thought by the end actually was buying his rivalries. But many wrestlers took the “fakeness” of their in-ring very lightly, striving to make it as “real” as possible. The Dynamite Kid and Bob Holly come to mind as too dudes who tried to make every move legitimately hurt as much as possible to make it seem “real”—working “stiff”, as they say—-only to wind up injuring themselves and their opponents. Holly was so rough that misbehaving WWE wrestlers were given matches with him as punishment, and Dynamite Kid is now in a wheelchair, but still bragging about stiff he worked.
Taking young, impressionable, excitable men desperate for fame, money, and women, and filling up their heads with fake toughness stories and how they needed to seem “badass” and “gangsta” to sell records seems like a really bad idea. But record company execs do it on the regular, then fill up those same kids with drugs and leave a gun lying a round, while also pushing gossip about another rapper “dissing” them.

Was his name “Fission Barrel forty-fo”
East Coast or West Coast?
Is his handle Kill Kosby?
Say it ain’t so, Steve, say it ain’t so!
I’m not seeing any calls for gun control (in general, or among young black males or black gang members). What’s with that?

Will he beat the rap?
Or ride it?
This Nipsey Hussle song says he had a $1 million life insurance policy.
Has the mayor heard any of this guy’s music?
He was killed by a “less talented rapper”? How is this talented?
He’s “worth a couple million.”? Dollars? Ooooh, Dr. Evil! I think the “White boy in Manhattan, pay my tax” guy was ripping him off. How can he have the cars’s he mentions and only be worth $2 million.
This is almost in iambic pentameter.
Don’t know anything about rap, but don’t rap songs have any sort of, I dunno, break or chorus or something deal with the monotony?
Just hours and hours of bragging about being a violent drug dealer with luxury cars and clothing. For 30 years and counting.
At least it has lost most of its popularity among middle class whites compared to the 1990s and early 00s. I did my part in HS and college, telling any friend who had it their taste was awful and they should try Zeppelin or Metallica or the White Stripes.
The combined narcissism and low IQ of most blacks ensure that they never ever tire of the blackety-black-blackness of their culture generally and rap specifically.
On the appeal to the non-gangster youth: I think the resurgence of country music in the suburbs is completely unreported. Here in my suburb the neighboring high schoolers are more likely to blare Keith Urban than anything really urban. Hear it at the ski resorts with the snow boarders too. I'm sure the music industry knows this.Replies: @UrbaneFrancoOntarian, @Anon
There is no chorus but I think there is a refrain. The line "I ain't nothing like you f**king rap niggas" is repeated 7 times. Methinks he doth protest too much.
He also brags that he is a shooter with a 32 round magazine in his MAC, so live by the sword, die by the sword, I guess.Replies: @Anon

I assume they’re using “sang” ironically here.
Anyhow, “aspiring rapper” is pretty much every ghetto murder story—on both the perp and victim sides. Usually there’s also a line like “was just turning his life around” (i.e., there’s nothing in his biography to indicate this wouldn’t be his end, but the reporter wants you to pretend otherwise anyway).
Occasionally, for variety, if there was an athletic scholarship anywhere in the vicinity, then it’s “aspiring basketball star”.
I’m not saying Nipsey deserved to die, but he was an avowed Crip, so I’m not sure why anyone is all that surprised or even upset. Am I missing something?
1/ I assume being a member of gang is more than pledging a frat, but only slightly less than "joining a family that will protect you...and you will help protect them" because your Dad is nowhere to be found and things get shittier quicker in those "hoods".
2/ Sometimes you outgrow your family and move on to bigger things.
3/ Sometimes, they are ties that bind. In this case, it doesn't appear to be gang related, but rather anger related. Dudes talked, dude got pissed, dude got gun, dude shot other dude(s). Low time preference, low IQ, quick to anger. No surprise...but...
4/ Upset is different. This guy was at least an entrepreneur and intelligent while having varied interests, as well as...and, get this...mixtapes that were so good he could get $100 each for them, was smart enough to limit production of them to stimulate demand ... and last one, Jay-Z bought 10 of his 100 tape "run". He was involved with a documentary (!) on a doctor in Honduras who was killed when he presented evidence in a court of law (!!) he could cure AIDS (!!!). I get the sadness despite me not being sad personally, other than the normal "no one should this early" sadness we all feel when true potential is not reached by any human being, rapper or not.Replies: @Not Raul
From Steve’s linked article:
No racial/immigration status breakdowns available.
What a pathetic exercise in overpraise – this guy had bought some real estate well situated to make money off the people in his neighborhood makes him the Crip version of Mr. Rogers. He is so inspiring that the ‘sacred ground’ where he was killed requires a significant police presence to make sure it’s not the scene of additional homicides, at least this week.
Documentary of Nipsey’s ghetto clothing shop in Crenshaw, in a shitty little corner mall. Very good introduction to the neighborhood, the sort of people living there, and Nipsey’s hangers on. This shop would have lost a ton of money. The staff would be stealing money and inventory, reselling inventory. Who would be paying cash for clothing in this neighborhood? Maybe the strategy was to have some physical proof of a clothing brand, and then sell it some adult supervision, like the Shark Tank black guy, who would shut it down, take the brand an IP and sell it to K-Mart (are they still in business?)
I think everying in this documentary has an IQ in the 70s, so if you wonder where they all are, it’s in neighborhoods like this.

Bruiser Broby was gave people what they wanted and that is why he successful. A good businessman but did not take outside the ring real rivalries seriously enough when he went to Puerto Rico. He was making money in a promoter’s back yard and surprise surprise he got stabbed to death by a minion of the very promoter whose mouth he had been taking the bread out of. He did not fully understand that life is cheap in that country. Local guy who was a witness got put in a wheelchair for his trouble.

Thank you all for driving up here to the Catskills and coming out tonight. We have a lot of entertainment for you here at iSteve’s resort.
Be sure to try the chicken. We got it from Chik-fil-A at the airport when they got shut down. We’ve been saving it all month for you.
Hey, let’s have a big round of applause for our host, Steve Sailer! Where is he? Oh, he’s in the closet writing something. He’ll hand you your coats on the way out. Be sure to tip him; he likes that.
Phyllis Killer is here to give hair style tips to the ladies, and Nipsey Hussle will give a shooting demonstration tonight that you’ll love. He comes to us all the way from LA, the land of the Launch Angles Dodgers. They used to be from Brooklyn you know. Traitors.
Oh Nipsey is dead? Hey they just told me they brought in Eric Holder! That should be entertaining! Yes, the former Black Attorney General of the Black Justice Department. You’ll love him. He’s a killer.
International Jew is here all summer. We finally found a drummer from the local high school to back up his one-liners. Control your language; the kid just had his bar mitzvah.
We found Tiny Duck, ladies and gentlemen! He’s here tonight. You can feed him whatever you leave on your plates. It’s okay. He’ll gladly take other people’s stuff if they’re white. You are white, aren’t you? Ohhhhh, you’re a tough audience!
Do go to the bar and try our Whiskey. He’ll be sitting there all night to tell you about interracial porn. Black on white is his favorite.
Oh that reminds me. Milton Curl is here tonight too. The rumor is he’s a big man in comedy. Very large.
Ron Unz might stop in to show us how stupid we all are. Be polite. He owns the place.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have so many stars here, we can’t even remember them all for you. The Amazing Jack D. is here! If you’ve never seen him, you will be Amazed! because he’s better than The Amazing Kreskin. Think of any topic at all, and he will recite chapter and verse on it. And, if you’ve had so much Manischewitz that you can’t find your keys, he can start your car remotely and tell you what’s wrong with it.
Buffalo Joe drove down all the way from, well, you know, Buffalo, to talk about real, down to Earth life. Or just Earth life for you Aliens. You are here leeegally, aren’t you? LOL, (wink). We love it. Bring your whole family over and they can form a conga line after dinner. As our president says, we neeed them for all those great jobs that are coming back here to our kitchen this summer.
Our Summer of Salts Series continues tonight too, with so many story tellers you’ll wish we had a MORE button. Including yours truly. Later on I’m gonna go around the room and do my Joe Biden impersonation for all the ladies… Could somebody turn up the lights? I’m looking for Kylie and 3g4me…

I rather be a coal miner than a rapper. It seems that a coal miner has a safer job.
Probably the Hillcrest Country Club vs. the Wilshire Country Club.
Aspiring rapper is an improvement. In the old days, black kids would invariably say that they were aspiring NBA stars. Even if they were 5′-3″. I’ve literally had a midget size black teenager tell this to me and I had nod along seriously and not burst into laughter. It wasn’t easy. If it was a Jewish kid, I would have assumed he was aware of his extreme short stature and was being ironic, but blacks usually lack all self-awareness or sense of ridiculousness so you have to assume that Shitavious is being serious.
The other alternative nowadays is when semi-illiterate ghetto kids say that they aspire to be doctors, lawyers, etc. even though they can barely form an English sentence. Again you are supposed to nod along seriously and not point out that the ability to read and write are a prerequisite. But by the time you get to (ghetto) Eric Holder’s age they can no longer pretend that they are going to med school.
Unless... the science fiction geeks can really get AI and self-doing-everything technology to work soon enough to save us.
Personally, I welcome our new artificially intelligent overlords -- if they're really coming.
On the other hand, that might backfire too...

Having said that, I do think the vast majority of blacks are slightly more self aware than that. So goal just = rapper

Without, however, bothering to inquire too much about what makes for “bad schools”…
https://vdare.com/articles/bad-schools-immigration-and-the-great-middle-class-massacre
Americans use the term "bad schools" to mean—"black students."
The fewer immigrant Hispanic students, the better, but no matter how close Hispanic IQ approaches black IQ, they are distinctly less undesirable as schoolmates because:
1. They misbehave much less and are much less violent, and
2. Their (broken) culture seems to be less Lorelei-ish to white kids than black street and popular culture.
If you're in Texas, yeah, stay away from Hispanic schools. But in most places they are not the metric you should be keeping your eye on.

Randy Savage was one of the participants and it was truly creepy how big the chip on his shoulder was. As I recall, he sat by himself drinking and was extremely sarcastic when anyone spoke with him.

The closest White music example I can think of (this blurring of gimmick and reality), was the Norwegian death metal band Mayhem. They vandalized and burned churches, and had a lead singer who killed himself, leaving behind a short suicide note that simply said “please excuse all the blood”. Oh, and to top it off their lead guitarist was stabbed to death by another band member.

Gangsta rap is exactly the same now as in the mid 1990s. Innovation in other music genres is also not very high, but at least still exists.
Just hours and hours of bragging about being a violent drug dealer with luxury cars and clothing. For 30 years and counting.
At least it has lost most of its popularity among middle class whites compared to the 1990s and early 00s. I did my part in HS and college, telling any friend who had it their taste was awful and they should try Zeppelin or Metallica or the White Stripes.
Now all they want to do is read.
Richard Moll, pictures above, is still alive and well and doing voice acting. His Night Court colleague Markie Post has aged pretty well too.

If lesbian-elect Mayor Lightfoot cannot reduce the City payroll, cannot reduce pension obligations, then I wonder what city assets could be sold. After all, the City took all that money for the parking meters and used it to fill a hole in City finances.

Lots of talented musicians literally could not sing but were vocalists anyway. Jimi Hendix couldn’t sing nor Mark Knopfler either. It is often said Frank Sinatra’s phrasing was the thing that set him apart.
Don't forget the daddy of non-singing, Bob Dylan. His phrasing's pretty good, though.
Nat King Cole played piano in his jazz trio (piano, guitar, bass (no drums)) and if he had never sung o note, he would still be one of the all time greats. He started singing a few songs for bar patron requests, and to give the band a break, and became one of the best selling singers in history. Collaboration with a unknown young arranger called Nelson Riddle on a single called Mona Lisa did no harm to the career of both men.

Louis Armstrong is one of the greatest singers in history, because he changed the way popular songs were sung and everyone who came after was influenced by him.
The story is that after Louis split his lip open playing the trumpet at extreme volume (no electronic amplifiers in them days and Louis played so loud that in the recording studio he had to stand five feet further from the microphone than the other musicians), he started adding vocals to the repertoire to give his lip a rest, but the vocals followed the rhythmic pattern and phrasing of his instrumental trumpet playing rather than the crooning style of the day.Replies: @Anonymous, @Sean

Although Gilberto was a slightly more gifted tenor. Check out “Para machucar meu coracao” on YouTube or Amazon music, with Stan Getz on the sax).

That led me to the podcast in question, and by chance an interview with Sam Outlaw also appeared on that podcast:

From 0:00:00 Bret Easton Ellis on Trump derangement syndrome in Hollywood post election.
From 0:42:00 Bret Easton Ellis tells a millennial that he likes country, and millennial goes nuts.
From 0:43:45 Bret Easton Ellis introduces Sam Outlaw.
From 0:45:45 Finally Sam Outlaw gets talking.
As you can hear in the podcast, Outlaw was brought up in an extremely conservative orthodox Christian sect, and the only music he heard before he was an adult was Christian rock. It doesn't seem to have harmed him because he comes off as remarkably well adjusted.

I suspect the reason rappers have such a high rate of attrition by perforation is for the same reason drug dealers kill each other off over territory. There is a limited amount of entertainment dollars available per rapper, and by killing off the competition, the murderer, as long as he isn’t caught, has a chance to advance his career. Although quite often it’s the friends of a rapper who do in the rival, because the guy who organized the killing doesn’t want to be caught.

It’s like if Mercury is running, Sinatra is strolling, Knopfler is walking with a limp, but any given rapper has used the Japanese space program to isolate himself in space so that not only is he standing still, he is not even moving with the rotation of the Earth.

Like that’s a new development.
I’sd say that adolescent male posturing is more like it.
It wasn’t Hendix’s singing that made him a star.
A lot of pop music singers cannot really sing. Bob Dylan?
Nat King Cole played piano in his jazz trio (piano, guitar, bass (no drums)) and if he had never sung o note, he would still be one of the all time greats. He started singing a few songs for bar patron requests, and to give the band a break, and became one of the best selling singers in history. Collaboration with a unknown young arranger called Nelson Riddle on a single called Mona Lisa did no harm to the career of both men.
Louis Armstrong is one of the greatest singers in history, because he changed the way popular songs were sung and everyone who came after was influenced by him.
The story is that after Louis split his lip open playing the trumpet at extreme volume (no electronic amplifiers in them days and Louis played so loud that in the recording studio he had to stand five feet further from the microphone than the other musicians), he started adding vocals to the repertoire to give his lip a rest, but the vocals followed the rhythmic pattern and phrasing of his instrumental trumpet playing rather than the crooning style of the day.
Nat King Cole was a great jazz pianist who became a very good pop singer of his era, but he was better (if less well known) as a pianist than a singer.
Les Paul was, from all accounts, until he shattered his arm in a drunken car crash, even better as a pianist than he was ever a guitarist (in the purely playing sense, not counting his audio engineering skills he used to achieve many special effects, some he did live that no one can repeat today). As a pure player he was a very good but not truly great jazz flatpicking guitarist, but no Johnny Smith, and Chet Atkins could do anything Les could do but in no way vice versa. The reason he gave up on piano? He heard Art Tatum and realized he could not be that good, so he concentrated on guitar, where true virtuosi were very rare before WWII and always less common than piano virtuosi.
Jimi Hendrix was a mediocre to passable singer, but better than Bob Dylan, who as a singer is, well, just not a singer. He was huge as a guitar player, he was the first to combine black electric R&B styles such as the Isley Brothers and Curtis Mayfield, the then emergent folk-rock energy of people like Dylan and the Byrds, and the obscure secret sauce-the sheer electric power of now recently late, the then obscure Dick Dale (who never had any national following at all outside guitar nerds until Pulp Fiction in the nineties).
Like Chuck Berry, and later Nile Rodgers, Hendrix was smart enough to realize that there were a lot of white people out there -more than blacks, at least in the US-and that to make real money a black musician who could leverage the skills of black music of some technical quality (gangsta rap may be shit, but there has always been some black music that took real skill and talent) with white forms and preferences would do okay. In what was to be a short career, Hendrix made an enormous amount of money (much posthumously) and was in the top 5 of influential electric guitar players of all time.
By the standards of modern hard rock and heavy metal guitarists, Hendrix's playing lacked precision-Eddie Van Halen, Yngwie Malmsteen, Allan Holdsworth, Steve Vai, and dozens of others would blow him away if he could magically be beamed back from 1969 and put into a staged "cutting contest". (You'd have to beam Holdsworth back too, he's also dead now.) But when he was active, only jazz and classical guitar players had any defined level of virtuosity. Among rock players of his day who else was that good? Only Page, Clapton, Beck, Bloomfield come to ready mind as even in the ballpark.Replies: @YetAnotherAnon, @WowJustWow

It’s funny that Steve writes,

I don’t think that’s true. The fully ruductionist, Ockhamesque, KISS, deeuphemized explanation is,
Americans use the term “bad schools” to mean—”black students.”
The fewer immigrant Hispanic students, the better, but no matter how close Hispanic IQ approaches black IQ, they are distinctly less undesirable as schoolmates because:
1. They misbehave much less and are much less violent, and
2. Their (broken) culture seems to be less Lorelei-ish to white kids than black street and popular culture.
If you’re in Texas, yeah, stay away from Hispanic schools. But in most places they are not the metric you should be keeping your eye on.
what was it that convinced you?

Jimi's lack of precision was part of his greatness. It's like Frank Sinatra's singing: the subtle variations in timing create an unmistakable personal imprint on the music and make it more engaging. Although he created the archetype for what it means to play hard rock lead guitar in general, nobody could really replicate the sheer lyricality of his best work.

It’s not virtuoso ability that makes Hendrix great – if it were “just” that, the late Roy Buchanan would be more well known. It’s as much the notes he leaves out as what he plays – the simple melodic stuff like Little Wing and May This Be Love. Virtuosity and creativity aren’t always correlated.
Novelty doesn’t hurt either. When the Yardbirds released “Shapes Of Things” and “Happenings Ten Years Time Ago” in 1966 I was impressed, not so much by the song as by the Beck/Page guitar piece at the end – I’d never heard anything like it. Hendrix and Clapton in Cream were fortunate ( although a lot of blues players before them had laid down the basics) to be pioneers in what (given the effects available and feedback use) was almost a new instrument.
Here’s Clapton circa 1967 explaining what he does, although I note the concept of “the woman tone” has been memory-holed since.

It is new in that it is being made explicit. It was always IMPLIED that programs like food stamps and grants for “urban development” were intended to disproportionately if not solely benefit blacks (about 1/2 of food stamp funds go to blacks) even though they were facially neutral but reparations would make it explicit. That’s a significant adverse development, an explicit payment of the Danegeld without any face saving pretense, another step down into the pit of Hell.
