I went to high school in LA half our school were people of color so we were blessed to be exposed to the first days of hip hop and rap. Not just Run DMC who were probably the biggest of the day but UTFO, Whodini, EPMD, The D. o. C., Slick Rick, Big Daddy Kayne, etc. they were the more mainstream. Of course there was NWA, 2 live crew and Too Short, that shit was hardcore. We were soft, we thought “You be illin’ “ was such a sick burn of a song. Listen to this Whodini song, it sounds so painfully slooooow compared to anything you hear today.

Anyone else notice a trend with the mass amounts of layoffs in tech? Why are all their resumes so jumpy? Not like 2-5 years jumpy, like few months at a time jumpy? But still can land a position with similar tech giants? IMO, lots of these people get hired by their rich friends, stay a few months before someone realized they aren’t qualified and were just a recommendation from a current employee. Then repeat that process over and over until your company is down 50%
