Commercial promoting Beats by Dre with Kendrick and The Doctor himself. This is a prime example of both artists being perfectionists.

https://genius.com/Kendrick-lamar-its-alive-lyrics

...this track delves into the depths of Kendrick’s mind and explores identity, power, and the struggles he faced on his journey to success.

In the opening lines of the song, Kendrick references the famous quote from the movie “Frankenstein” where Doctor Frankenstein exclaims, “It’s alive!” This sets the tone for the rest of the song, hinting at Kendrick’s exploration of his own power and influence in the rap industry. The lyrics are accompanied by haunting vocals from Colin Clive, further emphasizing the theme of creation and artistic expression.

pretty sure when this mofo released classified information,there are innocent people who died because of his act.

I would suggest to do your own research and look into independent sources.

This are just smears and propaganda used against him, by the duopoly and legacy media, so as to make him look like the bogeyman.

Interesting question!

It seems to also show up in the first episode of American Horror Story: Freak Show [2].

After thinking a bit on it and reading about it, I would go with neither would go to jail.

It is better for a criminal to get away with murder than to have an innocent person go to jail for that crime.

It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer.

AKA Blackstone's ratio

There are some other possible solutions to the problem, however. You might throw both twins in prison but treat only the guilty one as if he were a convict. When the siblings were released, for example, the good twin would have all the rights of a normal citizen, while the evil twin would have lost the right to vote, be registered as a sex offender, etc. You might even compensate the good twin according to the relevant payout rules for wrongful convictions. (Those who were wrongly incarcerated for a federal crime can get up to $50,000 per year, or $100,000 if they were on death row.)

All of the above assumes that one twin is unambiguously guilty, and the other is unambiguously innocent. In real life, it’s hard to imagine such a clear-cut case. For example, a jury might be inclined to believe that the “good” twin acted as an accomplice, or perhaps an accessory, to the crime after the fact. This charge would apply if one sibling knew that the other had committed a crime—which seems likely under any circumstances—and that he intentionally provided assistance or comfort to his sibling rather than calling the police at the first opportunity. If the good twin were convicted of an accessory crime in federal court, he’d be subject to at most half the prison term appropriate to his evil brother. In some states, however, it’s legal to harbor a fugitive if that person happens to be your sibling.

One more way that a “good” twin might be convicted, even if he took no part in the actual committing of the crime: In some states, he might be found guilty of not stopping his brother. Although as a general rule, common-law tradition dictates that you can’t be held accountable for something you didn’t do, 10 states have so-called “duty to rescue” statutes. These require innocent bystanders to call the police or reasonably attempt to aid a victim in distress. (In four of these states, siblings of the offender are exempt from the law.) If one twin tried to stab someone, the other might be expected to grab his arm or drag both of them to the ground. The penalty for failing to rescue is usually a fine, though some jurisdictions allow for up to a year in prison.

I believe that within our Constitutional framework, the only thing to be done in this situation is to release the conjoined twins. Even if the jury sentenced the conjoined twins to death, the court would have to commute the sentence and release the twins. The guarantees of due process under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments prohibit punishing an innocent actor.

He asks the important question: “Which do we hold higher, the punishment of an innocent life or freeing a guilty one?”

"Wings” (stylized as “Wing$”) explores the consumerism that Macklemore feels plagues not only the youth but everyone in American Society: The idea that your worth as a person is intrinsically linked to the monetary worth of the items you own and the reliance on materialistic items to fit in.

This old Nike commercial is a perfect example of how Nike convinced people if they buy their expensive sneakers, they will be better basketball players. This commercial had been aired when Michael Jordan was in his prime and many people idolized him. Their marketing strategy succeeded and later created what is known today as “sneakerheads”.

“Ain’t No Love In Oklahoma” by Luke Combs explores themes of struggle, resilience, and the constant battle against personal demons. The song delves into the experience of facing challenges and hardships, particularly in the vast and lonely landscape of Oklahoma.

In the first verse, the narrator describes a relentless pursuit of confronting his inner struggles symbolized by chasing the metaphorical devil down a desolate highway. The imagery of a storm running through his veins and a shot-down tailspun airplane evokes a sense of chaos and turmoil within the protagonist.

Notable one is Richard Wolff, another is Chris Hedges, but his show got canceled again for talking against status quo, hopefully he goes independent!

Edit: added info below

The song "Wind" by Akeboshi speaks of living life to the fullest and not being discouraged by failure or criticism from others. The lyrics encourage the listener to cultivate a hunger for life and to channel their anger into their chosen paths, rather than letting frustration and fear dictate their choices. The singer also speaks of the importance of taking time to reflect and evaluate one's choices, and the consequences that come with such decisions. Ultimately, the song's message is that one should not overthink or allow fear to keep them from getting what they truly desire out of life, as regret could be the ultimate consequence.

“死ぬのがいいわ (Shinunoga E-wa)“ is an exquisitely interesting and unique song via a combination of Showa (old Japanese era) style lyrics /melody and the modern trap-style beat.

The song has been arguably the singer-songwriter’s most successful track on his personal record so far in 2022.
“Shinunoga E-wa” is a song about dying rather than being separated from their lover. His crisp and husky vocals, layered over an intoxicating melody, can put listeners in a trance-like state, making the song an instant hit.

In mid 2022, the song off Fujii Kaze’s album Help Ever Hurt Never caught the world by surprise. This two-year-old song first started to explode in Thailand in late July 2022 after many TikTok users featured it in their videos on the app. Its success continues to escalate globally over the months, enabling Fujii Kaze to attend the 73rd installment of the famous Japanese New Year’s Eve TV event, Kohaku Uta Gassen.

As this song has gone viral, Kaze released “Shinunoga E-wa” Live at Nippon Budokan version on his YouTube. On Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart, his debut album returned at No.95 on August 17, 2022, previously reaching No.1 on June 1, 2020.

“Dog Days Are Over” is a single off of Lungs, and is considered the band’s first big hit in both the US and the UK.

This harp-based track is about suddenly finding happiness, and disbelieving that it’s actually there.

According to one interview, the song title comes from an art piece by Ugo Rondinone.

The song was released as the album second single in 2008 with “You’ve Got The Love” as its B-Side. However, after the album’s success after its release in 2009, the band re-released the song as single in 2010. This time, the B-Side of single was a remix of “Dog Days Are Over”.

Here’s the 2008 original single cover of Dog Days Are Over:

Wow!

Thanks for sharing about the cover!

I just added it to 'post to lemmy later in the near future' folder, hahahaha

Another random but interesting? info:

This cover of the Ben E. King classic serves as the main theme of the RPG video game Final Fantasy XV.

In the announcement trailer, Florence described “Stand By Me” as “one of the greatest songs of all time”; explaining that it was impossible to ‘improve’ upon, so “you just have to do your own!”.

From the plot of FFXV, the song can be interpreted from the perspective of the protagonist and only playable character, Noctis Lucis Caelum. “Stand By Me” is Noctis’s way of expressing the feelings of gratitude in his heart that he can’t say straight out. source

The classic Final Fantasy prelude is integrated in the song’s intro and first verse.

I do not think that is a healthy way of looking at the world.

The working class are just pawns in these never ending wars we somehow keep finding ourselves in.

This is all [due] to the owner class pushing for more profits and more infighting within the working class.

The real war should be the class war!

Winning or taking a loss, duopoly still fcks the working class.

Sorry to say but fascism has been here for a while, let us continue to pay closer attention to what goes around in our communities!

I hope you one day come to a different conclusion than just keeping people in the duopoly.

Let us continue to talk to people we do not agree with or think like, we can all learn fro them and teach them!

Why are you trying to convince me to vote for Trump...

Or at least that is how I am seeing it...

I do understand that in the US we can vote for anyone and be proud, while also sitting out of the election, can be seen as a proud act as well!

I hope this view has helped you understand that many do not see Trump/Biden the same way you do!

We must contiue to question and be highly critical of those in power, especially those in gov't that have much money/influence!
