Yoruba singers have been wild since time immemorial. There's a gift for you if you can interpret the embedded connotation of this song. 😀

There was mass failure of WAEC and JAMB in Lagos and Ogun in the year this song was released. All the young ladies who passed that year are from Ekiti. Go and argue with Wasiu.

Hello from Day 31 of El Chapo's trial.

More testimony coming this morning from Victor Vazquez, a DEA agent who captured Chapo in 2014.

The story of that capture is covered episode 6 of our podcast. Listen: open.spotify.com/episode/738NnU…

We saw this footage during Vazquez's testimony yesterday.

It shows Mexican marines and DEA agents on Black Hawk helicopters flying over Sinaloa toward a ranch owned by El Mayo, who was the target of an unsuccessful capture operation 11 days before they got Chapo.

Vazquez also narrated this footage. It shows Mexican marines and DEA agents raiding El Mayo's ranch on the outskirts of Culiacán on Feb. 13, 2014.

Mayo was gone by the time they arrived. They arrested two of his associates, which Vazquez said led to a large weapons seizure.

The West Coast’s late 80s breakthrough coincided with the rise of major rap video shows like Yo! MTV Raps and Rap City. So a lotta people really got exposed to hip-hop just as acts like N.W.A. were reshaping the game.

Even outside of music video shows, Too Short was a dude you heard a lot of where I was growing up. You would hear cars riding by bumping Short Dog all the time—he would maintain strong ties to the South for decades. Hustled his way up in the Bay—landing on a major in the late 80s

But one dude that seems to not got his due is King Tee. He was always mentioned back then; younger generations may not be aware how significant he was. One of the first West Coast rappers I remember seeing on TV and hearing friends bump.

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...

@theroots

I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)

@jessebdylan

Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

(There's an alternate "diner" version I can't find anywhere online)

yknow what. here's a thread I wanted to call "songs that get Europeans turnt" but now call "songs that will, given an appropriately large number of Europeans in the room, get a significant number of them screaming the lyrics". grab some beer, sangria or mineral water and let's go

1. no title needed
- hello and welcome to songs that get europeans turnt!
- an introduction is unnecessary because the room will be screaming as soon as this video plays
- if you call it numa numa, i'll know that you're an american
- ALO
- SALUT

2. ra ra rasputin
- you all know who it is
- my BOY RASPUTIN
- he protecc
- he attac
- but most importantly
- he bring the groves bacc
- guaranteed to hype up your party
- does YOUR song feature an incredible beat, wild bopping singers and lyrics about rasputin? no? then be quiet
