I have a youtube channel that I subscribe to, and the channel was discussing Mos-Defs comments about Drake (Which I will discuss at another time), but during the conversation he brought up that a friend of his brought up having more than one Top 10 or Top 5 Hip Hop list, but instead of having lists based on Tiers or specific lists that speak to specific aspects of the art form. So my first list is my normie rap list check it out below, in no particular order my favorite emcees normie list is:
Jay-Z
Nas
Biggie
Tupac
Scarface
Ice cube
MF Doom
Mos Def
Blackthought
Andre 3000
That is my defacto boring thoughtless list but when I actually really think about it i got different types of lists, so my next list will be rappers who I listen to the most whose albums mean a lot to me.
MF Doom
Danny Brown
UGK
OutKast
Common
Cannibal Ox
Ghostfacekillah
Kanye West
Mos Def
I have more or my rap tier lists like 1) favorite 80s OG rappers, 2) favorite underground rappers and favorite rappers from different time periods keep it locked to see more
Radio: A century informing, entertaining and educating.
The theme of the World Radio Day 2024 shines a broad floodlight on Radio’s remarkable past, relevant present and promise of a dynamic future.
Looking Forward to Radio’s Next Century
The opportunity provided by the 100-year-plus milestone of Radio begs to be trumpeted at full volume. The century is an occasion to proudly celebrate the medium’s extensive virtues and ongoing potency. It comes at an opportune time, as Radio – though statistically popular and enormously trusted by the public – faces increased challenges to audience and revenue numbers from digital platforms, pervasive social media, digital and generational divides, the headwinds of censorship and, for some media, stifling consolidation-induced debt as well as economic hardships exacerbated by a soft advertising market.
UNESCO invites the worldwide Radio industry in all its many forms - commercial, public, non-profit – to join in this global celebration of the medium at this special and pivotal juncture in its century-spanning journey.
The World Radio Day 2024 observance highlights:
The indelible history of Radio and its powerful impact upon news, drama, music, sports …
The ongoing utilitarian value of Radio as a relatively free and portable public safety net during emergencies and power outages brought on by natural and human-made disasters such as storms, earthquakes, floods, heat, wildfires, accidents and warfare.
The continuing democratic value of Radio to serve as a grassroots catalyst for connectedness within underserved groups including immigrant, religious, minority and poverty-stricken populations; and as an instantaneous bellwether of public opinion expressed through the auspices of free speech in the public space.
UNESCO recognizes and understands the tremendous variety of business models and technological architecture in Radio around the world as well as the independent nature of its companies and organizations, large and small, plus the idiosyncrasies of its on-air personalities. Thus, broadcasters are encouraged to bring their own culture, style and sensibilities to their individual celebrations leading up to and during the February 13 event.
World Radio Day is also an opportunity for radio stations to connect on-air with fellow broadcasters around the world. UNESCO invites radio stations to take the initiative for such broadcasts.
It is a remarkable achievement for a major mass communications medium to continue its relevancy past 100 years and still be a force for freedom of expression, joy and knowledge. As we proudly tell its story, let’s welcome Radio’s future in the next century.
Independent radio is so important in the cyberpunk age.
They need your money to keep doing amazing independent work in Seattle, home of grunge and tech. They are tapped into the culture worldwide, and are currently celebrating the 50th anniversary of hip hop, one year at a time.
How independent do you think Alastor's shadow actually is?
It's seems pretty independent in the show. It's still attached to him, and is very much a part of him, obviously, but we've also seen it move around a lot on its own, of its own free will (unless Alastor is mentally directing it where to go, which seems like a lot of work), but overall, it looks like it's doing its own thing most of the time, so long as its in Alastor's proximity.
In my personal fanon, Alastor's shadow is also quite independent.
For me, Alastor's shadow is more honest about Alastor's feeling than he is. It slips up and reveals his true emotions if anyone is fast enough to catch it.
I didn't expect for his shadow to be so sassy when I was writing it, but now that's all I can think about it being LOL. If it could talk, I have a feeling it'd give a lot of sass, not just to Alastor, but everyone. It also just comes off as very goofy to me. Its a very silly little shadow.
But I also think its VERY much connected to Alastor. It's still a facet of himself. It's still HIM. Just a looser, more independent part of himself with a touch more sentience than you'd expect XD

I'd like to introduce all of you fine people to the budding franchise known as Bird Call. Obviously, I did not create this; that honor goes to a, quite frankly, wonderful man by the name of Calvin Lester. This video gives you the basics on what you need to know. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes comedy, birds, or puppets. If you want to find out more, including the full musical that this advertises for, please check out the Bird Call website, the link for which is right here:
Also make sure to check out Bird Call's TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook pages, the links to which can be found on the website. Of course, what Lester really wants is a TV show, so make sure to help him get one.
