Wow that’s a pretty good prize for a party! I love a good LAN party, I used to set up and play Warcraft in my parents’ basement with my brothers during the holidays. So much fun being in the same room while playing those deep focus games, for some reason.

I put in for an RSVP to this at the last minute but I didn’t get in I guess. I will have to make it out to the next one.

Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss track “Not Like Us” debuts at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The number one song in America.

@marleyfacedboy yeah that was sick man! I guess you’ve been digging into DMB a lot more lately? I haven’t gone down that rabbit hole since college, but I’ve always enjoyed what I’ve heard from them.

They always get made fun of for being the fratty jam band but when it slaps it slaps

I’ve really been digging the 1974 Bob Marley & The Wailers album Natty Dread. This album contains the studio recording of “No Woman No Cry” and “Lively Up Yourself”, but otherwise it’s one of his lesser known albums.

It has one of my favorite songs on it, though: “Rebel Music (3 O’Clock Roadblock)”

I just published an essay about the meaning of “Rebel Music” on the main blog.

And another one that I’ve been digging into lately: “Talkin’ Blues”

This song also ended up being the name of a 1991 compilation album of 70s recordings.

The song releasing part of the beef appears to be over (possibly?), and Kendrick Lamar has been declared the winner. But now there is some stuff going on in the aftermath. Some of it is amusing, some of it is kind of scary.

For the amusing part, here is something I found on Reddit. People were accusing Kendrick of farming lines from “Not Like Us” from Tweets. Corn on Twitter points out that this is pretty ironic:

Drake Security Guard Shot

In more concerning news, Drake’s security guard was shot outside of his home in Toronto. It’s not clear whether or not this is related to the beef. Here is the news, from Stereogum (my favorite independent music blog):

EbonyPrince2k24 Tweets

There is also a Twitter account called EbonyPrince2k24 that claims to be a Hotel employee who found some items that Drake left behind in the hotel one night in the lost and found… his Tweets are pretty cryptic and I won’t try to make sense of them… see it for yourself here.

Overall there seems to be a lot stemming from this beef and I don’t believe it’s fully over yet… I don’t know if this EbonyPrince person has anything real or if they are just looking to stir up controversy … I’m just watching and sharing my findings for anyone who is curious about the Kendrick vs Drake beef

“Mean” by Mister Morning was released today. This one has a minimalist, lofi style, following the lead guitar riff with various layers dropping in throughout the song. Mister Morning is one artist that I discovered on the forum where I can honestly say that I have enjoyed all of the music so far.

I will be adding this one to Extra Chill’s New Music Radar next week. Thanks for the heads up about the new track!

Hey dude thanks for joining! I just had the chance to listen to this and it’s good stuff! I’ll add it to our playlist, I will be getting an update together this week. Hope you’ll keep coming back and sharing each single here as they come out!

Are they part of an album, or just individual singles?
