No, The Roots were definitely non-rap fans favorite rap group. Hip hop doesn’t need your gatekeeping, just do you and do better.

His second act stuff is better than Nocturnal.

Croce may not have any reason to fear prosecution, but that doesn’t mean Croce doesn’t fear prosecution.

Pointing out that widespread fear of liability is exactly what’s happening. Bar owners and employees tend to be paranoid about their liability when bad things happen that started in their bar, whether or not they are actually legally liable. The Sky Bar owner’s comments were in service of protecting his financial…

Most shows will just come to the keeper of the house show house through other bands trying to get a show for out of town bands. Or out of town bands getting in touch with the keeper. It’s good to have an actual reason to put on a show instead of just throwing a party.

This reads like someone who hasn’t been around in years. Not getting paid, unfortunately, is something that a lot of excellent bands do on a regular basis. Frequently, these shows are set up by bands trying to get out of town bands shows, but they can’t find or don’t want to play a venue. Donations are sometimes…

ugh, sorry i wrote that part. no, i don’t think he’s legally liable, but people get concerned that they’ll be held legally responsible for these things if it started in their bar. Editing for clarity.

Not saying he is legally liable, but talking to door men, bartenders I know this is a concern

I don’t think they do, but that is something that bar owners worry about. He definitely is worried about his pockets being lighter.

“I’ve got no skin in this game. I am only telling you what I observed,” Croce said.
Ha, no. The business Kane brought in and was set to bring into his bar and the legal liability say otherwise.

My guess is that the food blew out the door while it was sitting and waiting for delivery and no one noticed until they were asked to look for it.

You’re overthinking this. Craig James is alleged to have killed five hookers while at SMU is the context of Craig James killed five hookers at SMU. These are very serious allegations that many people take seriously.

Haha. It’s funny cuz it’s utterly ridiculous.

You just said how dominant she is. She has no competition. There are no other factors. She is leagues better than everyone else in her division. Thus she is the very definition of dominant. What is so hard to understand about this exactly?

That’s the very definition of dominant! The competition CAN’T test her and that’s why the op’s question is legitimate and arguably the answer is yes.

Here’s the thing, dominant means compared to the competition. So, she’s leagues ahead of all of her competition. She’s currently the most dominant athlete and I’ve seen nothing like it since Iron Mike.

I think the best way to go about it is to focus on the humanity of the characters. And the characterizations themselves and what Wallace is really trying to say to you through that. The fate of the Enfield Tennis Academy is not that important. (The Academy is just another character in the book). But there are myriad…

The tennis academy doesn’t matter and you’re not supposed to care about it. There is a laugh on every page. There is profundity laced into the entire narrative. There are brilliant essays buried in this text. And there is virtuoso writing in every sentence.

You’re a clown, a parody of an arrogant, pseudo intellectual.

Lots of people have read it. It’s actually very accessible. I believe you are compensating for insecurity over not reading it. You don’t like it, it’s fine, but don’t belittle the book just because you didn’t feel like finishing it.
