Daaamn that's intense. :) Never heard of either of these, thanks for linkin'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb55ep-DrSo this ones also good
I love this stuff, but personally the lyrics weigh heavier than the vocal intensity, like most recently: https://youtu.be/xuQ70CPSKTo
Maybe you'd like these btw, another favorite:

@AudioMachina22 @Cyberdevil Nice. It was kinda entertaining to watch. The lyrics were pretty good too. 6/10 The beat could've been a bit more catchier. I'm into really heavy stuff
Mmm I know I've heard some grizzly stuff before but nothing comes to mind now... what do you think about stuff like: https://youtu.be/Xl9dP1Eot30
Also Snak The Ripper below? Not heavy enough? He goes hella hard in everything but it's definitely a bit more melodic too.
Oh thoughts on Hed PE? If you haven't heard of them: https://youtu.be/Z_ZkUROJ86Y
@AudioMachina22 @Cyberdevil @Cyberdevil Yeah it was pretty good :)
Nice. :) All? One particular?
@AudioMachina22 @Cyberdevil @Cyberdevil https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xv6ciIPeErE&feature=youtu.be
Nice. :) Doesn't have to the heaviest in regard to the beat then, more so the message? The faster the heavier? R.A. The Rugged Man's dope too, was about to link to this one collab he had with Vinnie Paz I think but couldn't remember the name of it... I'll get back to ya with that if it comes to mind...
@AudioMachina22 @Cyberdevil @Cyberdevil I'm not so much into lyrics. I need to improve on that
Ah well it's not like you have to be! I think I'm just a lyricist first and foremost, at this point at least, so that's what I've grown to appreciate the most. Sometimes great to just vibe with the music regardless.
@AudioMachina22 Just seemed like the lyrics hit harder in Knuckle Sandwich than the rest of it, so seemed like maybe you were into lyrics after all, but maybe just different impressions there then! Either way all good.
@AudioMachina22 @Cyberdevil @Cyberdevil I've heard some rap lyrics that I've liked. I guess it was the rhyme that caught my attention.
Mmm never the message though? Personal experiences or emotions that resonate with you?
@AudioMachina22 @Cyberdevil @Cyberdevil No not so much message. Never seems to awake interest in me.
Hmm
@AudioMachina22 @Cyberdevil @Cyberdevil Didn't mean to be offensive or anything btw
Hey no worries, though I do feel you're missing out on a lot there. :) It's such an important part of the genre, so many artists telling their story and swapping experiences/inspiration that way.
@AudioMachina22 @Cyberdevil @Cyberdevil Wanna play online texas hold em with me some time?
Some time sure! Near future though my hands are just way too full with personal projects; other stuff.
@AudioMachina22 @Cyberdevil @Cyberdevil Leave some free time then :)
That might really be a good idea. XD I don't how everything always seems to pile up so easily though, maybe I say yes to a bit too many things...
@AudioMachina22 @Cyberdevil @Cyberdevil I wanna get busy-busy too. Hope this feel-ill shit goes away soon. It prevents my desires, so I never get started on anything. It just sucks away all life from me. Been like this for 6 years now... :<
Mmm maybe it might actually get better if you force yourself to start with something though? Distract from the feel-ill shit a bit. I do have occasional lows, probably can't really put myself into your shoes with how it'd be to go through whatever you're going through or years at a time, but at least with temporary lows it feels all the more accomplishing when you keep going regardless of how you feel, and get through it, and fully appreciate managing to keep going regardless.
I feel like a large part of life is learning to handle the ups and downs, to get through the downs as fast as possible, and stay on the ups as long as possible, and with enough practice maybe eventually you can basically just jump over those lows, and never truly get as down as you were before. The imbalance like a learning curve of mental fortitude...
Anyway I can't put myself in your situation of course, just know that when I'm not getting anywhere is the time I do feel worst, and the longer you've been there the more effort it takes to really gain momentum again. But even the shortest exercise session reminds you that it's not so difficult to make a difference after all. Just need to take tat first step.
(Hope this comes across more inspiring than aggravating though...)
@AudioMachina22 @Cyberdevil @Cyberdevil It's not quite that simple. It's impossible.
BTW, if you're feeling lucky, how about some poker? https://www.888poker.se/ I can't quite play yet since I've been rolling on videoslots. Don't have the money to invest in that yet... but maybe next week or in 2 or so. You can think of it as risky, but in the end, you win big. That's how I think.
Paid poker hmm! Don't think I want to get into that right now though, might be fun but I'm currently trying to save up so I can invest in something more long-term... plus personally I'd honestly rather be writing; making stuff. :) Have to work a day job to sustain myself but most spare time goes to passion projects.
Though, if you have the time and energy to play a game, why wouldn't it be possible to use that same time on something you'd really enjoy? If you can't find a bigger sense of reward/dopamine than a game maybe you just haven't really found something you really like yet; that truly feels fulfilling...?
But of course, you need luck on your side. Life has it's ups and downs like you said... you can't always win. So if you're gonna try, be careul.
For sure there's a certain level of luck involved, but I like the saying: hard work surpasses talent. Hard work surpasses luck to! And excellence is a habit! ;) I'm not much for gambling if I don't have a surplus I'm willing to give away.
@AudioMachina22 Do appreciate the suggestion though, thanks. Don't mean to come across bitter, I've thought a lot about researching e-sport a bit and maybe making a living that way, that alluring dream of fast money, and then you can spend your time however you want to... but it's just not really my thing. When I drift off into those thoughts I realize I should just be doing what I'm doing instead. No shortcuts. That's not the way I want to live.
@AudioMachina22 Really takes some effort to suppress the lure, pardon somewhat aggressive response on that. ;) But yeah, I'm staying away from that shizzle.
@Cyberdevil It can be exciting. Some people play only because of that... in my case I play because of that and the potential profit I could make. You need to set a limit though how much you're willing to give out, so you don't spend more money than would be wise.
Yeah the excitement's one of the reasons I'm staying away. :) Know at least a few people with a real gambling addiction, it's no fun... if you can find the right balance or really manage to make an earning off of it though of course it can be great too! All good things in moderation... unless you really have a knack for it and make million.s :P

@AudioMachina22 @Cyberdevil @Cyberdevil Ah. Never heard about pescatarians before... hah.
Cyberdevil
Hehe yeah, there really are words for everything if you look around. :) Used to say I'm vegetarian but I eat fish, but then you can't really be a vegetarian if you eat fish so... best keep it legit!
