Stay Humble When Networking: A Lesson for Rappers

Image
  I wanted to drop some thoughts on keeping it humble when networking, especially with industry folks who might not seem tied to rap at first glance. I heard a story about a well-known Detroit rapper who tanked a huge opportunity by being flippant and rude to a major music exec because he didn’t recognize them. That’s a cautionary tale we can all learn from. When you’re grinding and meeting new people in the industry, you never know who’s who. That “random” person at an event might be a producer, label exec, or someone with serious connections outside of rap—like in pop, film, or even tech. Brushing them off or acting too big for the room can burn bridges you didn’t even know were there. Here’s why humility pays off and some tips to keep it real: Everyone’s a Potential Ally : Rap doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Collabs with other genres (pop, rock, electronic) or industries (film scores, gaming) can elevate your career. Stay open and respectful, even if someone’s vibe feels “outside”...

Maximizing Yield: A Guide to Growing Huge Cannabis Plants Introduction: Cannabis cultivation has evolved significantly, with growers continuously seeking ways to maximize yield and potency. Growing huge, high-yield cannabis plants requires careful planning, attention to detail, and a comprehensive understanding of the plant's biology.

Judge Fails to Uphold Justice as False Testimony Allowed to Persist

Image
  In a recent courtroom debacle, Judge Michael Waterman presided over a case where false testimony was not only permitted but seemingly condoned, raising serious concerns about the integrity of the judicial process and the pursuit of justice. The case in question involved allegations of inappropriate behavior and a tragic escalation resulting in someone's death, compounded by the dissemination of misinformation. According to reports from KMSP-TV, the incident unfolded when Miu claimed he was searching for a friend’s lost cell phone in a river, only to be confronted by tubers who suspected his actions to be improper. Witness Larrion Davis, whose testimony was pivotal, initially asserted to the police that Miu was taking pictures of little girls. However, upon further questioning during the trial, Davis admitted uncertainty regarding the accuracy of his statements, stating, “Oh, I don't know,” when pressed about the truthfulness of his claims. What is particularly alarming is Jud...

The British origin of fried chicken

Image
  origin of fried chicken is a fascinating tale that intertwines culinary traditions from various cultures. The basic cooking practice of frying chickens dates back to the Middle Ages in Europe, but it was the Scottish who brought their unique method of deep frying to the American South, thus playing a significant role in the evolution of fried chicken as we know it today. However, it's important to note that the Scottish didn't invent fried chicken in its entirety, as there was no seasoning involved in their version. The American South, with its melting pot of culinary influences, saw the marriage of Scottish cooking techniques and African culinary traditions. This fusion led to the development of the beloved dish we now recognize as Southern fried chicken. The African influence is particularly notable in the use of seasonings and spices that add depth and flavor to the dish. So, while the British (specifically the Scottish) played a pivotal role in the development of fried c...
