Keep it copacetic6/14/2023 These are some serious words to live by right here, so let me put you on game to a couple of my favorites: 5) Never give credit. I’d be remiss not to mention Biggie’s Ten Crack Commandments. Shockingly easy, but I guess I can’t really argue with him. Travis Scott’s like-minded three-step SDP regiment : to truly enjoy life, you need to smoke some, drink some, and pop one. Pusha T, Ye, and A$AP Rocky’s MPA attitude : the only things you need are money, pussy, and alcohol. The type of takes that list the things that one needs to be doing are dime a dozen, but I will take this opportunity to provide a few of such shit takes that are present in the music world: Really, anything from those rise -and- grind Instagram pages that worship Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and (curiously) Idris Elba deserves to be placed here, but this is the most deliriously stupid. You need only five hobbies : One to make money, one to keep you in shape, one to stay creative, one to build knowledge, and one to grow your mindset. While we’re at it, keep your Topster with shit like King Crimson, Rubber Soul, Blond, and Late Registration to yourself, too. You don’t have to maintain your listening-head sensibilities at every turn you should just enjoy the things that you enjoy. If you think it’s good, then it’s good to you, and that ’s that about that. Yeah, it doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it’s still pretty damn good.įuck out of here! If you like something, just say you like it you don’t have to qualify shit. Speak your truth, yeah, but make sure your truth has a bit of oomph! behind it. Sometimes, people really just say shit for the sake of saying shit. Whereas hot takes should never be spoken aloud, shit takes need to be voiced, simply because they need to be shut down swiftly and firmly. What’s worse, is that we also have the shit take : the less-than-half-baked little brother of the hot take. Once your “hot take” has been thoroughly cooked in your brain oven, let it rest until the juices are fully locked in, then hit me with it and we’ll see where it goes. Sometimes, inner musings are supposed to remain just that: thoughts plunking around your thick skull. A true hot take would be so well-considered and fully formed that it wouldn’t seem “hot” it would just be truth. I love being a contrarian, but this take simply makes no sense. I love wearing my various pairs of clogs, but am I going to replace my shoes with them? Hell no. Īt its core, a hot take (as internet heads use it) is a stupid opinion. They’re comfy, they can be dressed up or dressed down, and you can wear them in any weather. It’s a pain in the ass! And at what cost? With clogs, you can do damn near anything. Some situations call for a boot, some situations call for a sneaker, some call for a dress shoe. With shoes, you need to pick and choose for comfort and utility. You are only saying that because clogs and mules are in right now. That’s right-I’m clogs only from here on out! In fact, I’m never wearing shoes with heels on them ever again.
