    I think you and i perhaps have different understandings of the word "aware". If u ask me if i am aware of taylor swift, then yes i am, but i dont know anything about her!

    In the same, generally Americans MIGHT be aware of the greater world and forces at play among them, but do they actually know what is going on? Do they know what is happening in kenya and why and how that that impacts the rest of the world?... I will venture and say, probably not.

    and hey, americans are not the only ones guilty of it, I will say the same of most Australians, that they are also quite sheltered and ignorant however not to the same degree as Americans though. I have never met anyone in my country who thought Africa was a country so there is that...

    It's not just about threads but even the manner of argument. Anyway, even outside the States, not everyone keeps up with current events and I don't expect it to be of interest to everyone. What counts is whether we've got a godly outlook

That's why some of us from outside look at some of these threads and shake our heads
    I don't think that Americans for the most part are unaware of what happens out there in the world. Just because we don't post a thread on it or discuss it, doesn't mean were not aware of it.

    Guess we shouldn't say that about just Americans then

    But there is not a peep on those happenings. But a guy gets shot by cops and BOOM!! the interwebs explode!


    In fact, if you wanna know, Egovanego and myself are in two different countries (he in Africa, me in Australia) and we regularly chat on these things happening around the world and much more on whatsapp. But look on facebook/twitter on many of the people's pages, the CHH artists pages and they show themselves to be, in your words, "self absorbed, apathetic" etc. not even a mention of these serious things happening globally, rather then are concerned about perceived, true or not, injustices all the while they are living in perhaps the richest country in the world!!

    Just an observation mate, thats all.


    It is after all an unpopular opinion thread
    You're good my friend. No hard feelings.

    "#SameTeam" was overrated. I'm all for the concept and I like the (official) remix, but the beat was wack.

    The verses were hot, I don't think the beat was all that hot.

    I feel like the following guys have tons of talent but I not a huge fan of their recent music:
    Social Club, Freestyle Fam, Flame, Trip Lee, Black Knight, Isreal Houghton, Kirk Franklin.

    Gawvi's production is technically amazing, but sonically, his sound is not diverse enough to warrant a whole album, let alone two. Anomaly and Rise are proof

    I wish Reach Records could have figured out a way to keep Sho Baraka on the label. Talented Xth is better to me than anything Reach has released lately.
    Ali's production on the Talented Xth deserves an award.

    Beats headphones are overpriced and overrated. Average performance with Elite pricing..

    Trap is not Dead but somedays I wish it was.

    Don't remake a song unless you are making it significant better...

    Live instrumentation sounds better, especially in concert. Why pay to see you live if you are rapping to a track when I can listen to the album.

    Is that an unpopular opinion?

    I've liked all the Young Noah songs I've heard. I guess they are his recent songs. I must be an anomaly. lol

    Parks is probably in my top 10 comedies, and this last season has been really strong so far... Not nearly as good as AD though.
