CLASSIC VIBES | 4 HOURS of NYC HIPHOP & RNB by DJ NEILBEATS

CLASSIC VIBES | 4 HOURS of NYC HIPHOP & RNB by DJ NEIL BEATS

The author recounts the “golden era” of early 1990s Hip-Hop in NYC, where young rappers from Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island honed their lyrical skills by studying thesauruses and dictionaries. These aspiring teens engaged in daily freestyle battles during school breaks, parks, or street corners, using words metaphorically as “bullets” for lyrical “assassination.” Winners were decided by crowd reactions—laughter, cheering, and clapping—in a fiercely competitive environment that fostered exceptional wordplay and skill. Despite societal stereotypes labeling them as “Less Significant Poor Good for Nothing Minorities,” these artists created music with deep lyrical truths that challenged social norms and political tensions.

Initially dismissed as “Gang Bangin, Sex Talking, Drug Selling, Evil, Devil, Illegal Style Music,” this early Hip-Hop gained critical acknowledgment comparable to Shakespeare and Plato. It shaped culture through dress, street, lyrical, and musical codes. Over 50 years, these “golden era” songs, even those by 17-year-olds, remain influential and widely listened to. Hip-Hop evolved from an expression of the repressed into a mainstream capitalist product, generating wealth for a few brands and families, and influencing modern music, business models, language, and culture.

In contrast, the author observes a decline in modern Hip-Hop’s intellectual rigor. Contemporary artists no longer carry thesauruses or read books, reflecting a drop in lyrical skill and knowledge. Contributing factors include the vast availability of online music reducing song length and word count, slower tempos across genres, and governments and educational institutions annually removing words from acceptable lexicons. These trends cause a “downward shift” in song quality, storytelling, and artist education. The author advocates for adding a thesaurus to databases to preserve vocabulary’s importance.

This extensive collection of excerpts delves into the philosophy of mind, exploring various theories and key thinkers who have shaped its discourse over the last 90 years. The text highlights the foundational challenges, such as understanding how subjective conscious experiences arise from physical processes, and discusses historical perspectives like Cartesian dualism, which posits a fundamental separation of mind and body. It then examines prominent naturalistic approaches, including logical behaviorism, which attempts to define mental states purely by observable behavior, and the identity theory of mind, asserting that mental states are directly reducible to brain states. Furthermore, the source extensively covers functionalism, a view suggesting mental states are defined by their functional roles, allowing for multiple physical realizations, and the Representational Theory of Mind, which models thinking as a computational process involving mental representations. The conversation goes on to critiques and alternative frameworks such as embodied cognition, which highlights the critical role of the body and environment in forming the mind, and anomalous monism. This argument argues that the psychological is irreducible despite its physical basis. Finally, it touches on the "hard problem" of consciousness and the continuous search for a naturalistic explanation.



Key Thinkers in the Philosophy of Mind (Audiobook Summary)

KRS-One's The Gospel of Hip Hop is presented as a philosophical and spiritual guide for Hip Hop Kulture, structured deliberately like a religious text to emphasize its profound significance. The core message centers on "Love" as the divine, saving force that birthed Hip Hop and continues to guide its adherents, offering salvation from self-destruction and a path to enlightenment. KRS-One, "The Teacha," urges "Hiphoppas" to recognize their inherent divinity and purpose, moving beyond material aspirations to preserve Hip Hop's true cultural and spiritual essence through self-reliance, unity, and a commitment to positive growth. The text asserts that Hip Hop's very existence is evidence of God's love and a new covenant for its people, calling them to embrace their "birthright" and fulfill a divine vision for the culture's future.

The Gospel of Hip Hop : A philosophical and spiritual guide for Hip Hop Kulture

Rap originates from African American oral traditions such as "signifying," "playing the Dozens," and "Toasts"—long narrative poems like "Shine and the Titanic." Hip-hop culture emerged from the South Bronx in the mid-1970s, pioneered by the "holy trinity" of DJs: Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa, and Grandmaster Flash. Early MCs like Coke La Rock, Kid Creole, and Melle Mel developed rhyming to the beat, creating "flow." The art form's commercial viability was established in 1979 with The Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight," the first rap single to top Billboard charts.

The evolution of rap is categorized into distinct periods:

Part One: 1978–1984 (Formative Years)
This era saw the art of MCing take shape. Afrika Bambaataa's "Planet Rock" (1982) revolutionized the sound with electronic keyboards and the Roland 808 drum machine. Lyrical content expanded beyond parties to politics, notably with Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five's "The Message" (1982), a raw depiction of urban hardship. Kurtis Blow is credited with developing the rap "hook."

Part Two: 1985–1992 (Golden Age)
Run-DMC merged rap with a rock aesthetic, while Russell Simmons' Def Jam Records and producer Rick Rubin pushed a raw sound into the mainstream. Lyrical sophistication grew with MCs like Rakim and Big Daddy Kane, who mastered techniques like internal rhyme. Themes broadened to include Black Nationalism, and women MCs like Queen Latifah and Roxanne Shanté emerged. This period saw the rise of "gangsta rap" with foundational acts like NWA, Ice-T, and Too $hort. Alternative voices included KRS-One as the "Teacher" and the eclectic Native Tongues collective (De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest).

Part Three: 1993–1999 (Dominant Genre)
Rap solidified its dominance, an era defined by the rise and tragic deaths of 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G. 2Pac blended a "T.H.U.G. L.I.F.E." image with rhymes on social issues, while Biggie was celebrated for his vivid storytelling and fusion of rap with R&B. The Wu-Tang Clan fashioned a new supergroup model with a distinct aesthetic. Regional styles expanded, with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony establishing a melodic Midwest flow and Goodie Mob defining the "Dirty South." Lyrical masters like Nas and Jay-Z showcased immense poetic skill.

Part Four: 2000–2010 (Digital Influence)
Southern rap's dominance continued, led by moguls Master P (No Limit) and Baby (Cash Money). The Crunk subgenre, led by Lil Jon, gained prominence, and artists like T.I., Young Jeezy, and Lil Wayne became transformative figures. The internet's impact was demonstrated by Soulja Boy Tell 'Em's viral success. Kanye West emerged as a tastemaker with inventive production and wordplay, while Lupe Fiasco prioritized complex lyrical storytelling. Conscious artists like Common and Immortal Technique thrived, and hip-hop gained institutional recognition from the Smithsonian and Harvard University, solidifying its status as a global cultural force. The analysis emphasizes rap lyrics as a form of poetry, charting its evolution in lyrical craft and thematic depth.

1. Alleged Negative Side Effects and Health Issues: mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are associated with numerous alleged negative side effects. Alleged Pfizer documents tallied over 42,000 serious adverse events in early rollout (Nov 2020-Feb 2021). These included myalgia (muscle pain), joint pain, heart damage (myocarditis/pericarditis), blood clots, neurological events (tremors, dementias, epilepsy), autoimmune disorders, and eye damage. Concerns also exist regarding DNA contamination in Pfizer vaccines, reportedly 36 to 627 times higher than FDA recommended amounts. VAERS reports nearly 39,000 worldwide deaths linked to COVID vaccines, with substantial underreporting (estimated less than 1% of events are reported). Chronic illness rates in children have risen from ~10% before 1970s to over 40-50% currently.

2. Contradictions of CDC Statements: Initial claims by Anthony Fauci and the CDC stated that mRNA COVID-19 vaccine shots would "stay in the arm". However, alleged Pfizer documents and Japanese FOIA studies in rats reportedly contradict this, showing modified mRNA and lipid nanoparticles broadly biodistribute within 48 hours to major organs, including women's ovaries, and cross the blood-brain barrier. The modified mRNA is designed not to degrade rapidly. Furthermore, despite an alleged "pregnancy and lactation report" prepared for the White House in April 2021 detailing severe harms, Dr. Michelle Walensky, then CDC Director, publicly stated, "there's no bad time to get your COVID mRNA injection before you get pregnant during your pregnancy or after your baby is born". The CDC's website continues to feature information promoting COVID-19 vaccination for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

3. Neglect of Reports on Reproductive Harm, Miscarriages, and Autism: Alleged Pfizer documents reveal a "360-degree obsessive focus on ruining human reproduction". This includes blocked ovaries, placental calcifications leading to early births, maternal hemorrhaging, damage to testes in uterero, and sperm degradation. In the Pfizer study, out of 36 pregnant vaccinated women with available records (234 were allegedly lost), over 80% reportedly lost their babies. The alleged "pregnancy and lactation report" to the White House meticulously documented menstrual damage to tens of thousands of women and deaths of at least three babies from nursing vaccinated mothers, implying "poisoned milk". Epidemiological data suggests a "million missing babies" in Europe, with 13-20% drops in live births in vaccinated nations. Regarding autism, rates have risen from "essentially zero" before 1970 to an estimated 3 million children in the U.S. currently. Dr. Sally Ozenoff's research suggests 88% of autism cases are due to "acute toxic exposure". It is alleged that the CDC has known since 1999 that vaccines cause autism and covered it up for 26 years. A "high-quality 2020 study" showing vaccinated children had 2.5 times higher chronic illness rates than unvaccinated children was "suspiciously withheld". Furthermore, government agencies are criticized for failing to submit legally mandated biannual vaccine safety reports to Congress since 1986, with zero reports submitted.

The U.S. online gambling market has exploded since the 2018 PASPA overturn, transforming gambling into a ubiquitous 24/7 mobile activity. The total sports betting handle grew from $6.6 billion in 2018 to over $121 billion by 2023, with projections for 2024 reaching nearly $150 billion. The industry has seen 18 consecutive quarters of year-over-year growth.
Key Players & Market Share: FanDuel (35%), DraftKings (32%), and BetMGM (11%) are the dominant online sports betting platforms. Other players include ESPN Bet and Caesars Sportsbook. Notable individuals involved in the industry discourse include Jordan Maynard, chair of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, Don Levy, director of the Siena College Research Institute, Aaron Chimbel, dean of St. Bonaventure University’s Jandoli School of Communication, and Marc Potenza, Yale psychiatry professor. Research was compiled by Neil Pontecorvo.
Demographics & Behavior: Online gambling primarily attracts younger, male, and technologically fluent individuals. Approximately 22% of all Americans, including nearly half of men aged 18-49, have an active online sports betting account. In a 2022 study, 48% of Millennials and 36% of Gen Z reported only wagering online. Young adults (18-35) are 1.51 times more likely to report problem gambling than middle-aged adults, and men are 3.4 times more likely than women. Between 6% and 10% of sports bettors meet the criteria for problem gambling. A 2024 Morgan Stanley survey noted 60% of 21-34 year olds place at least three bets weekly.
App Design & Marketing: Betting apps are described as "sophisticated psychological engines" designed to compel engagement. They exploit dopamine responses through features like variable-ratio reinforcement and the "near-miss" effect, and promote high-frequency, frictionless in-game betting. Ease of use is the top priority for 48% of bettors when choosing an app. Aggressive, celebrity-driven marketing campaigns, featuring figures like Charles Barkley (FanDuel), Kevin Hart (DraftKings), and Jamie Foxx (BetMGM), normalize gambling. A University of Bristol study found 75% of non-sponsored social media posts by leading operators lacked problem gambling support messages.
Societal Harms: The "frictionless" model is directly linked to elevated rates of problem gambling.
• Financial Ruin: Within four years of online sports betting legalization, personal bankruptcy filings increased by 28%, equating to an estimated 30,000 additional bankruptcies annually. Average credit scores dropped, and debt in collections rose by 8%. Nearly one in four sports bettors (24%) have missed a bill payment due to gambling.
• Intimate Partner Violence (IPV): An unexpected local home team loss in legal sports betting states was associated with a 10% increase in IPV reports.
• Suicidality: Individuals with a gambling disorder have a 15 times higher rate of death by suicide than the general population. Between 48-70% of Gamblers Anonymous members have contemplated suicide. The estimated annual social cost of gambling-related harm in the U.S. is $14 billion.
Regulatory Landscape: While 50% of Americans support online sports betting legality, 65% believe it will create compulsive gamblers. A majority (58%) advocate for federal regulation to protect customers, with 63% supporting the SAFE BET Act to restrict advertising, mandate deposit limits, and ban AI tracking of user behavior. Regulators, such as Jordan Maynard, describe the industry as a "highway without speed limits". There's a critical view that the "responsible gambling" approach overemphasizes individual responsibility, shifting blame from industry and government to the gambler.

Self-defense in New York aligns with Andrew Branca's five elements:
1. Innocence (Not the Initial Aggressor): The defender must not have provoked the conflict with intent to cause physical injury, been the initial aggressor, or engaged in mutual combat. An "initial aggressor" is the first to use or threaten imminent unlawful physical force, not necessarily who strikes first if responding to an imminent threat. Words alone do not constitute aggression. An initial aggressor can regain innocence by withdrawing and effectively communicating it, provided the other person persists with deadly force. People v. Guerra illustrates this complexity.
2. Imminence (Immediate Threat): The threat must be "actually occurring or immediately about to occur" ("right now"). Threats of future harm are not justified. A person need not wait to be struck if an attack is reasonably believed to be imminent.
3. Proportionality (Matching Force to Threat): Force must not be excessive. Non-deadly force is justified against "unlawful physical force". "Deadly physical force" is force "readily capable of causing death or other serious physical injury". Deadly force is justified only against "unlawful deadly physical force" or to prevent specific violent felonies: kidnapping, forcible rape, forcible criminal sexual act, or robbery. For premises defense, deadly force is authorized to prevent arson or burglary of a dwelling. Disparity of force (e.g., multiple attackers, size difference) can make an unarmed attack a deadly force threat.
4. Avoidance (Duty to Retreat): As a "Duty to Retreat" state, deadly force is prohibited if one "knows that with complete personal safety, to oneself and others he or she may avoid the necessity of so doing by retreating". This duty applies only to deadly force, not non-deadly force. The "Castle Doctrine" is a key exception: no duty to retreat if in one's own "dwelling" and not the initial aggressor. A "dwelling" is a building or part usually occupied at night, but does not extend to common areas, public spaces, businesses, or vehicles; exclusive possession and control are key. People v. Aiken narrowly defined "dwelling". Police officers are exempt from this duty. Legislative proposals (S1120, S1473) to eliminate the duty to retreat entirely have not yet passed.
5. Reasonableness (Hybrid Subjective-Objective Standard): This overarching principle requires a defender's perceptions and actions to be those of a "reasonable person in the defendant's situation". The landmark case People v. Goetz established a "hybrid subjective-objective standard". This involves a subjective prong (did the defendant actually believe force was necessary?) and an objective prong (would a "reasonable person" in the defendant's exact circumstances, including knowledge, past experiences, and physical attributes, have shared that belief?). Reasonable mistakes of fact are considered.
Even if justified, individuals can face initial arrest and criminal charges (e.g., assault, homicide) during investigation. Civil lawsuits from attackers or their families are also possible, although some legislative proposals aim to provide immunity and cover legal fees for justified actions. The use of illegally possessed weapons can undermine a self-defense claim and lead to separate charges. New York Penal Law § 35.27 prohibits using physical force to resist arrest, even if unauthorized, if the actor reasonably appears to be a police officer. Practical advice emphasizes seeking legal assistance, documenting the incident, understanding rights, and demonstrating formal self-defense training. The Simran Gordon case exemplifies the application of these laws for police officers, with the OSI finding the officer's use of deadly force justified due to reasonable belief of imminent deadly threat and impossibility of safe retreat.
