I used to hang around a lot more cishet dudes and any opportunity we had we’d boot up the Type beats and just have fun and try to make each other laugh for hours. Nowadays the people I run with aren’t as into rap and are maybe a little shy about jumping into freestyling. I’ll admit it takes A TON of practice to actually be good, but I’m not asking for them to be good I’m asking for levity and laughter. I really wish I still had someone to share this with. It can definitely be a solo activity, but there’s nothing like the belly laughs I’d have when someone matches or tops the lunacy of the last 16.
If you love rap music and are around some bros who don’t mind being a little silly or cringe, throw on a type beats. It’s mad addictive, once you have one solid good one you’ll be chasing that high for a while.
When these kids first came straight outta Long Island in 1989, there was no such thing as ‘backpacker hip-hop’ or even really an ‘Underground’
Something this eccentric and funny (FBOW, hip-hop skits started here) didn’t even have an audience. It had to be built.
Posdnuos, Trugoy (RIP) and DJ Maseo created a whole new world with producer Prince Paul that we are still exploring today.

Working from home 5 days a week can get tiring and repetitive. I‘ll meet up with a homie once a week at a coffee shop or library and just work together and chat. I call them my work from homies. The day flies by and I often am more productive than I would’ve otherwise been. Plus it’s a great way to catch up with friends who you haven’t seen in a while, I find that most people love to sit together and parallel play. It’s my favorite part of my work week and I hope to make it a habit rather than a highlight in my week.
