Me too, they keep it nice here

Thanks for the linkagge!

i think lb is a good start

"Wireheads are beings who have changed their reward architecture in order to be happy all the time". Sound like any being you know?

amazing piece

Eye opening POV

Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg - Snoop UK live debut.

Crowd was bananas, show was over sold, security got rushed multiple times, police abandoned the area, chaos for hours, fights inside the venue everywhere, open weed and crack smoking, coke sniffing, displays of weaponry, dudes getting properly jacked up for their whole shit right in the crowd inside and outside...I got robbed at knifepoint myself...lost a few quid, kept all my blood lol...

Venue was Brixton Academy, about 90/91 I reckon, whatever year it was that 'The Mirror' put Snoops picture on the front page and called him an evil bastard in the headline lol....think it was to do with him being on bail for murder at the time...

Dre and Snoop opened with 'Deep Cover' in pretty much pitch black....crowd went fucking super nuts...no word of a lie, in the first minute and a half of that song about another half dozen serious fights broke out all over the place, people running through swinging shit like woah....fucking mad shit, dre and snoop only stayed on about 45 minutes as the whole shit was out of control so they pretty much fled...crowd went even fucking nuttier...

Took fucking hours to get out of Brixton, full on road block grid lock chaos madness...

But. That 45 minutes they were on stage was honestly one of the most electrifying things I have ever seen...Dre was already a seasoned performer and Snoop was still a kid and was completely fucking amped up and rocking this huge afro that made him look kind of crazy and he was completely into stoking the fuck out of the crowd which didn't help the situation lol....

I been to a lot of hip hop shows over the years but this was on some other fucking level of mad...

Notable mentions go to KRS One, Cypress Hill and Public Enemy - seen all of them multiple times and they are some of the best live performers around, their shows never disappoint and they know how to move the crowd...

man thanks so much for sharing, I only wish I could have experienced this. I no doubt would have been robbed but alas happy... xD

Dude, I shit a brick lol....yeah...I heard a song years later by Troy Scalpels, call 'It happened' and it's his story of a night out at hip hop club gone wrong and it's got this line;

'I wish I wasn't here, but the hop hop led me, the snare drum fed me, now I'm tripping, on upturned furniture'

...lol...everytime I hear it I think of that night...get the cold chill down the back... oooooh....

awesome read

wow makes me wanna grab a time machine

Damn, that gig sounds intense. Awesome story dude ??
Jealous you got too see All the 90’s golden era on stage..

I been lucky man, seen so many amazing shows, Redman, Keith Murry, Das Efx, The Fugees, Onyx, Public Enemy, KRS, Funkdoobiest, Cypress Hill, half of Wu Tang (lol...)etc etc....pissed I never saw Pac or BIG though....I am biased but the 90s hip hop scene is the golden age for me man...give anything to go back and do it all again....

Has anybody seen ALL of the Wu in one place? I saw them in 2003 and it was only RZA and GZA plus a load of ransoms (and that UK guy they said was part of WTC)

Lol...I had three fucking goes at the Wu and still not seen all of them!...still never seen Inspectah Deck...the most under-rated of team but actually a killer mc...

Yes!!! Really is isn't he! Always loved Meth but have to admit Inspectah Deck is the most natural lyricist of them all

Yo this threads my jam. Who's sparking the blunt!?

My most notable concert. Rock the bells NYC can't remember what year. maybe 2016

Nas headling. DJ Premier and Pete Rock had a live beat battle. Cypress Hill on beforehand fucking smashed it, Mos Def and Talib Kwali are Blakstar before that.. Wu - Tang stage, got to see all the members apart from ODB. Mobb Deep were on their stage too. Lauren Hill played and brought out Pras and Wyclef to do some Fugees tracks. Can't remember who else but there were more.

Blunts, Stunts and Hip Hop man lol...

Daaammmnnn.....would love to have seen a Rock The Bells...they do quite a few of those full on 'mega tours' in the States...The 'Up In Smoke' tour would have been fucking awesome to see... Nas is one I never caught and would love too, Mobb Deep too...that must have been an awesome experience man.

Ha, the Fugees! Man they rock a live show. I actually saw the Fugees before they were big, they were actually playing as support for Das Efx lol!!! And first support at that, at like 9pm, real early, think it was K-Solo and Redman as 2nd support before Das on that one.

Yeah...it was at Subterania in West London, was funny actually....place is all hip hopped out, all carhart hoodies, tims and oversized jeans and bad attitudes lol then the fucking Fugees rock on to the stage and broke out the instruments and you can literally hear the 'what the fucks' all over lol...but shit....they started with Temple and it banged the fuck out the place...

Was very cool being such a small venue, at one point Lauren Hill was literally 4ft from my face on stage when she did that tune with the chorus 'some forget harlem' (I forget the name, very cool song) and I could actually hear her singing straight out her mouth kind of thing, (If that makes sense!?.. But like I could hear it before it hit the mic sort of thing..) and damn...raw, raw talent and soul and well....stunning woman visually you know...fried my weeded brain at the time, I was just like dazed out for 5 minutes, like ahhhhh, damn....lol...Saw her again at a sold out Wembley arena 10 years later...couldn't barely even see her on stage from my pauper seats lol...watched the whole thing on the side monitors...not the same...fuck the fame lol...

Jealous mate

Man some of those lists are insane man.

Went to see Cypress Hill at Barrowlands Glasgow last year and it was immense! Two of my favourite tapes ever Cypress Hill - Cypress Hill and Black Sunday!

Also last year went to the Blastoff Tour Gig which was great fun although a bit commercial with the likes of Shaggy (who was shit haha)

Nelly, Salt N Pepa (They were soo good man! lol), Shaggy, Mya and Blu Cantrell.

Hosted by Fatman Scoop and included exclusive appearances from UK garage stars So Solid members Lisa Maffia and MC Romeo, scene pioneer MC DT and the British duos Oxide & Neutrino, DJ Luck & MC Neat and Sweet Female Attitude.

The best rap show I never made was Tribe Called Quest ?

Beastie Boys - Wembley Stadium 1999
Supported by the Jungle Bros

Was my first proper Hip-hop gig

However...

Glastonbury the same year (I think). Jurassic 5, The Roots, Everlast and Cypress Hill (pre-beef), Scratchperverts, DOOM, Slum Village, Black Twang (with Rodney P, Skinnyman and some of Mudfam), and I've a vague recollection of seeing either Cash Money or Prodigy but can't be certain.

One hell of a weekend for Hip-hop!!

Blak Twaaaang....the lost album Dettwork South East, fucking classic, copies did change hands back in the day

Fucking Sir Rodney P!! How can I forget... I am off the play 'The Future' LP like now...and the neighbours are about to learn about 'The Nice Up'...

Cypress Hill @ Nokia Theater NYC

Busta rhymes, nas, snoop dogg, jay-z, lil Wayne and skepta.

Busta was the best for hype, crowd was nuts.

Snoop was best for getting high, I was high as a motherfucker.

Nas was raw.

Jay Z at Hammersmith. Warm up act was Lupe Fiasco but Nas made an unannounced appearance as they’d just squashed the beef.

Even my ex was happy as Beyoncé also made an appearance.

Eminem @slane castle was fire! ?

DJ Premier - I've seen him in many cities across the world but the show he made in Paris in 2010 right after Guru's death was legendary. He arrived late but we didn't leave the venue before 4am after screaming "Fuck Solar" for hours. Primo is really a legend

Rock the Bells in Amsterdam, think it was 2009 or 10. What a line-up De La Soul, Pharcyde, Nas, EPMD. Incredible show!

This is very hard.... but Skepta in Dublin 1 year ago... man Shutdown the place. A close second is Joey Badass in Dublin 3 years ago at the Olympia Theatre.... never forget he told this small blonde girl that things were about to get heavy.. so move to the back... she didn't... she got crushed..had to be carried out. Good Times, good times.

De La Soul on the beach down in Newquay, good times!

Eminem stade de france was a madness still not managed to see him in the uk

Insane Clown Posse put on a crazy show. Tech n9nes first show in London was crazy but I'd say Flatbush Zombies at the Ritznin Manny. Ever felt that floor bounce like that

of everything ive read in this thread i think icp is the act id most like to have seen

gotta love how they spend it though

masks were a lot more fun back then

its not like they pick up a check either

it's really hard to imagine what satisfaction they can receive from more money

Tegmark is his mothers birth name which he uses as a pen name. Mr Schapiro is without doubt author of my 2 favorite books. His first book ' Our Mathmatical Universe' is the only book ive ever read twice. Sod global warming for the end of planet earth my money is on 'Death Bubbles'.

very inspiring, found this vid.

Great watch, thanks. I hadn't seen this one b4.

very cool, thanks

interesting, thank you

There seems to be some confusion here, please accept our responsibility and apology for this.

We generally do not take seller terms into account, instead we base resolution on the reputation of each party.

Thanks for clarifying,
Can I ask
why include terms and conditions on the sellers part then?
As my conditions clearly state I don't offer reship or refunds. My buyers are aware of this.

We don't know what the field is for but there are terms other than refunds and those would not conflict with escrow claims.

For instance you could say buyers must be from a same day delivery area to expect same day delivery. This would set an expectation and save a lot of misunderstanding for everyone.

This kind of expectation would not be in conflict with the reality that claims we process are based on reputation, not a sellers refund policy.

Thanks for the the reply, I just got a 3g reship after 7g went missing. Thankfully the order is till sitting there, so we'll see how good my reputation is. I was just going with the 'I won't be ordering off then any more'

I haven't had to use Escrow yet after many orders but I've always used special delivery post to avoid as many issues and conflicts as possible.

can you look at my hashtag order then please?

opened dispute, heard nothing and vendor keeps fobbing me off "its coming" "it's been resent"

bollocks has it

they can stall all they want, the dispute will settle automatically based on reputation unless you cancel it.

how do you dispute if they sent you something else? He advertised Cali and sent bunk UK haze thats not even good haze. How can I dispute that?

How to create a dispute ?

It actually doesn't. I am proof, thank you

They can choose to override it if there becomes alot of issues due to your terms.

Please educate yourself guys

I would love to be educated UK 420...

I have clearly in my T&C's that I would be contacted before a dispute or negative rating and in my first week I was trolled and marked a 1/10.... The messed up thing is this troll thought I was another user and broke my conditions. However admin for Little Biggy have let it stand... Really frustrating as a new vendor.

Yeah sorry dude, you will need to ride that review out based on how the LB system works. It can be really hard for a new vendor to get established on here and there does occasionally seem to be shenanigans regarding review bombing ongoing on the site for ages now. Oh and 420 is wrong escrow overrides all terms based on vendor and purchaser rep

Not saying what you have stated doesn't make sense uk420, however, escrow will always override your terms and they will decide the refund amount for the dispute based on the reputation of the parties involved....

I never understand what a "unit" of ai is? Individuals or a giant collective mastermind? What could even make individuality or uniqueness? It seems the one man one vote premise is way off in the most fundamental sense.

kinds seems like what the little biggy borgs do

in the video he says Facebook & Google are reliant on the loyalty of their clientele, which is exactly why i deleted my Facebook account, but people think they are getting something for nothing, sure you can give Facebook and google all your personal data which is obviously worth money, but hey you can look at someone you went to school with's dinner, good deal right?

Here in Ireland my brother got caught after smoking and he got 4 years off the road then two weeks after the 1st time being caught he was caught again and now he is off the road for 9 years..i know he was a fool for getting caught the second time but I have a mate that got caught drink driving and only got 2 and a half years and he could barely stand up..

Fuck, thats the kind of sentence that just makes regular people criminals.

My pal got busted twice within 1 week! The second time he got caught was because he was driving the same car which was then flagged as a drugs car after the first time.
I been doing a lil research. Apparently listerin mouthwash works for about 45 min. Also was advised to deny and not take any type of drugs test but to ask for a doctor to perform field sobriety test. Obviously you would get arrested but they can’t ban you.

I've heard about the mouthwash thing, but don't want to be the one to test the theory - also Listerine contains alcohol so you might fail a breathalyzer for no reason. What's more worrying is that I've heard rumours you can fail a test for up to a week after toking which is crazy and incredibly unfair.

Hopefully someone will be able to get hold of the test, and experiment with it to see what the limits are. I can understand why they don't want people driving when they're stoned out of their mind, but I don't think there's a herb on the planet that stones you for 2 - 3 days.

When medical legalization happens they will have to come up with a fairer test. Don't know what they do in America.

100% agree with that haha murine eye drops help big time when the eyes are red. I couldn't handle 4 years off the road.

murine are the best eye drops in the game

Thanks! Just ordered on amazon!ill Give it a try.

Also optrex clear eye- for red eyes

the laws are pathetic it angers me that something that actually helps people is against the law and alcohol that kills and causes nothing but damage to your liver is legal pathetic

How does he keep getting caught?

I wouldn’t drink or drive or smoke and drive better to be on the safe side not worth getting your license suspended or getting into a accident

I dont drive- so can smoke to my hearts content- but cannabis stays in your system for a long time- up to 2 months if youre a regular/ heavy smoker. One of reasons crack and heroin are so popular in prison- they leave your system after 3-4 days

Yes me unfortunately I hadn’t smoked that day either 12 month ban and a fine and I’m a lorry driver so had to give up my job I now use some keltic mist spray

Does the celtic mist work checked out that profile on facebook a while back and did a bit of research ...looks 100% fake

Check out a product called keltic mist,its made in ireland by a doctor and you spray it on tongue before the saliva test and it will read negative,guy called medincine man sells it,havnt tried it but think i will buy one just incase,it comes with a test so u can try it so hopfully it works 😎

Me too, in France, 6 month licence ban for à first offense.

Ive done some math and i think i can get it down to 25.

He's just jealous. But potentially correct. There's a great book called 'Our Final Century' by Martin Rees (a respected academic, not a conspiracist of any sort) that makes a very cogent argument for the same outcome. Along the same lines. It's all quite believable. But then again, anyone could have written the same sort of book hundreds of years ago when things looked darker still... and here we are. Smoking weed. Writing to strangers. On the internet. Big up humans! We'll be alright! They're just might not be so many of us one day...

The article says we need to get the ball rolling in 100 years as shits going to get real anywhere from 1000-10,000 years. I can really only worry about the world my kids and grand kids are going to Inherit. They are going to have to figure it out from there. Plus the current world is anxiety inducing enough for the average person and I can only do so much so I’ll leave it to the egg heads to agree on the next steps to mitigate disaster that far in the future. Who does Hawking think he is anyway, Nostradamus? Now where’s my indica?

100 years too many :/

They hunt and kill rogue sasquatch too.

thats classified

Awesome post, I think this is a good title for what's happening now around the world.

The whole thing seems so dystopian like when they show the news in a sci fi movie and the world is falling apart.

The minute they start calling it a world riot everybody else will join in

It doesn't seem like any of the protests are peaceful but are they all riots?

What about a decentralized riot
cause I want a Riot of My Own

I read a column once about Russell Brand, the one quote i can recall from it was;

"just make sure you don't start your revolution when X-Factor is on the telly Russell, or nobody will turn up"

Says it all, in my humble opinion.

Just my 2p

Cheers. BB

Prophetic bigga, do you think this latest one is any different?

No doc it was co-opted by political opportunists and sold out to corporations before it was old enough to shit by itself.

Having bought loads of Bitcoin back around 2012-2014 to buy all sorts on the Silk Road, and realising I'd be a millionaire many times over if I hadn't spent them on illicit substances, I decided, once I started on LB, to invest in Etherium instead.

I once exchanged 46 bitcoin for just under $500 of product..... Ouch.

Back when I started on here I was exchanging everything to ETH from the BTC, and I'm glad I did. Recently it's dropped a bit but I'm still looking at around 400% return on investment over 12 months. Nothing like what I would've had from BTC back in 2012, but slightly better ROI than BTC in 2020.

As with any crypto, it could go south at any point, but I'm holding out with my ETH for the long haul, probably until at least 2025.

As a small seller (and a tradesman classed as an essential worker)I'm lucky I don't need to rely on the income from here, so can keep it invested long term.

In my experience, best thing to do with any crypto investment is to buy it, then don't look at it until you have to. As a rule of thumb, it's only going to go up, but on a daily basis it can fluctuate so much it'll give you a heart attack if you look too often!

Who knows, hopefully my investment pays off. Only time will tell I guess.

Cheers BB

And what about LTC (Litecoin)? Id use any alternative crypto that has lower fees... cause BTC fees are a rip-off!

this site compares the fees, eth is pretty bad, it has lots of defi transactions running on it.

That site is a find, thank you

just say no to high eth fees, carda-no

Bitcoin Cash is the way forward!! minimal fees, instant transfers, how BTC was supposed to be...

people get as confused as hell with the btc vs bch mainly because that's the way they bch guys like it. shame because it works great otherwise.

Yah if the BTC fees remain at relatively high levels, I can see adoption of BCH picking up quicker than people will realise
