Hey guys, I'm still alive.
Long story short, I had a throat infection for over a week and struggled to talk so that
was lovely.
But today, we will be talking about Tha Carter V, an album that honestly surprised me with
how good it was.
Wayne made a hell of a comeback with this.
So in this video, I will be telling you what my personal favourite songs from this project
are and why.
So with that being said, there's my social media accounts, follow me there and when I
hit 10k on them I'll follow a bunch of you guys back, and let's get right into this
video.
8 - Uproar
Now this song is probably about to become ten times more popular than it already is
due to Wayne starting a challenge based around this song, but I can't really complain about
that because this track goes hard.
The very upbeat instrumental combined with Lil Wayne's memorable flows during the chorus
makes it very easy for this song to stick in your mind, and it's one of the catchiest
songs on this project.
Lyrically it's very much a punchline and rhyme focused song, and it makes for a fun
track.
I wouldn't be surprised if Wayne's Uproar challenge helps this albums sales increase
past its already impressive numbers.
7 - Dope N***az (feat.
Snoop Dogg)
This is a great song overall, but the thing that got me most hyped was when the sample
of Xxplosive by Dr Dre came through on the beat.
I legit jumped up in excitement when I heard that, because that was one of my favourite
instrumentals on Dre's 2001 album.
Hearing it sampled here was so unexpected.
Snoop Dogg's voice works perfectly over this sample during the hook as you can imagine,
and it gives the song a really relaxed feeling to it.
And I particularly enjoy Wayne's second verse on here, where he talks about how the
people he grew up around, and how even though he was similar to them, he was raised to go
down a different path with his talents.
Oh and if I didn't mention already, the beat samples Xxplosive and it's so goddamn
nice on here.
6 - Let It Fly (feat.
Travis Scott)
I'm already a massive fan of Travis Scott's music, so this song basically scored points
instantly by just having him on here, and his performance is pretty great on this track.
He comes with this fairly unique delivery during the chorus where it's still very
much Travis's style, but he delivers his vocals in a noticeably different inflection
to make them stand out.
He also has a cool verse on here too.
Then Lil Wayne.
My god Wayne killed it on here, with these segments of never ending wordplay, using the
words "mind" and "line" in as many different contexts as he can think of.
The line wordplay got a bit far fetched in my opinion towards the last 1 or 2 bars, it
just dragged on a bit too long, but it's still very impressive and it's always nice
to see Wayne is still so sharp after all this time.
5 - Dark Side of the Moon (feat.
Nicki Minaj)
I think the best word for this track is soothing, if you wanna just sit back and mellow out,
this is the perfect song from this album for you.
Lil Wayne opts for a more laidback melodic delivery on this one, and gives us a really
interesting verse where he uses the world going through an apocalypse as a metaphor
for himself hitting rock bottom, but even in these times where everything seems doomed
he still has his girl by his side.
Then Nicki Minaj comes through to contribute to this idea with some nice metaphors of her
own, and goddamn her singing was way more on point than I ever thought it would be.
She genuinely sounds great on here.
It's a really cute track overall, and I love the creativity behind a lot of the bars
on this one.
4 - Used 2
This is one of the most intriguing songs in terms of the instrumental to me, because it
implements a lot of these slight changes as it goes on.
It generally stays the same, but more and more drums are slowly added to or dropped
out of the beat, and it means the song always keeps your attention because you're constantly
keeping a look out for the next change, with it happening more so during the first verse
as everything is building up.
Speaking of the production, this track also marks the first time that Metro Boomin has
produced a Wayne song.
Wayne himself comes with gripping verses, with his voice getting more frantic and intense
as the beat starts to build up.
It's a really engaging song, and I love the energy behind
this one.
3 - Dedicate
This song was great for so many reasons, but one of my favourite things about it is how
much Wayne references the large influence he has had over modern day rap culture.
He had his face tatted before every single up and coming rapper started doing that, and
he lets you know about it on here.
In fact, the hook on this song is a sample of a 2 Chainz song where he praised Wayne
for how he pretty much changed the game, and it's hard to deny the impact he's had.
Weezy also comes through with some attention grabbing flows and rhyme schemes on this track,
just peep the second verse where he maintains the same multisyllabic rhyme scheme for the
entire verse.
And then he continued the same rhyme scheme through the entire 3rd verse.
It's great.
And just to cement the fact that he is a well respected rapper, Wayne ends the track with
a sample of a speech where Obama complimented him.
This was his main flex track on here for sure.
2 - Let It All Work Out
Without a doubt this song contains one of the emotional highlights of this album, the
third verse on this one, it had ya boi tearing up a little.
You see, when he was 12 years old, Lil Wayne shot himself in the chest with his mother's
gun, an incident that he claimed to be an accident in interviews up until now.
In this verse, he reveals that it was actually a suicide attempt.
Now Wayne has mentioned that he attempted suicide before on the song Mad, but he didn't
go into to much detail and didn't mention that it happened when he was only 12 years
old.
It's heartbreaking to hear about, but Wayne turns it into a positive moment, saying how
things will always work out.
Just like many people, Wayne hit the lowest point in his life, and he shows with this
track that he bounced back from it in a big way.
It's a very hopeful message.
Top that off with a great beat and a beautiful chorus sampled from a Sampha song, and it's
something that is heartbreaking but uplifting at the same time.
Amazing stuff.
1 - Mona Lisa (feat.
Kendrick Lamar)
Now I've loved pretty much all of the tracks featured in this video so far, but this song
is on a whole other level of great.
It combines well crafted storytelling, intense deliveries and non stop flows all over a somewhat
low key but powerful beat, and it is brilliant.
Lil Wayne has some really hard hitting punches here, and there's so much wordplay that
I doubt you'll catch it all on the first few listens.
In his verse, he tells the story of how he robs a man by getting this girl he knows to
get close to this man and find out all his information.
It's a straightforward narrative, but the way Wayne tells it is really compelling, and
he sounds so invested in telling this story that it's hard to not cling on to every
word.
Not to mention some of his lines here are hilarious.
As for Kendrick, he came through with a pretty awful verse honestly, I don't know what
he was doing- of course I'm joking he absolutely f****** killed it too.
He told a different story, but with the main focus still being on a woman.
He goes through a range of emotions, talking about how he fell for this girl, then revealing
that he hasn't been faithful to her, but he hypocritically flys off the handle at her
for sleeping with rappers behind his back.
The intensity ramps up to the point where Kendrick's character kills himself in the
end, finishing the song off in a tragic way.
There's a lot to analyse through all the verses, and both rappers have incredible vocal
performances that fit the story they tell on here.
It's near perfect and makes for my favourite track on the album without
a
second thought.

FRIEDA FOUNDING TITAN EXPLAINED! DARK TRUTH of TITANS | Attack on Titan Season 3 Rod Reiss Titan - Duration: 14:26.
What are the dark juicy secrets behind Frieda's Founding titan?
So what's up guys Foxen here!
The thick 120 meter Rod Titan just got nuked like the ending of a
Michael Bay film however there's still a ton of mysteries remaining not only about
the Reiss family but more importantly their founding Titan.
So let's go ahead and go beyond the anime with the deep in depth look at the Founding
Titan.
This includes going into the past Titan history.
To start this off what exactly is a Founding Titan?
This Titan is one of the nine special Titan shifters it is similar to the Titan scene
from Eren and Annie's Female Titan.
From this Rod thought of the Founding Titan as this god like being on Earth, however the
full potential of this almighty Titan is still very much a mystery.
Physically the official height given for the Founding Titan has been 13 meters.
This does make it slightly smaller than Eren's Titan, Annie's female Titan, Reiner's Armored
Titan and the Beast Titan.
If you noticed in past historical images the Founding Titan looked almost identical to
a mindless Titan.
Notably this was a first Wall King's Founding Titan.
On the other hand take a look at Frieda's Founding Titan.
During her battle against the Grisha Titan this thing didn't appear to have any special
Titan abilities or powers in that form for use in combat.
Rod did make a claim here that unfortunately Frieda lost due to being inexperienced.
What exactly this means is still open to interpretation.
Perhaps Frieda simply lacked any combat experience, although shouldn't that have been
a similar case for Grisha and his Titan?
Something tells me that Grisha wasn't hitting up the Titan gym at
nighttime.
There's also speculation about whether a fully trained Frieda could
have used her Coordinate Ability to command or somehow weaken Grisha's Titan.
Perhaps a Founding Titan is similar to a King from Chess.
The main role of this thing is commanding while its combat ability for itself is pretty
limited.
The bulk of the Founding Titan power could come from the titan army supporting it.
This could serve as a somewhat balanced for it's almighty power.
Going back to the Founding Titan appearance.
There is one thing you should notice about Frieda's Founding Titan which is her female
form as this Titan.
So far the only other Titan seen keep their female appearance has been Annie's Female
Titan.
A female human may be a requirement for the female Titan but that doesn't seem to be the
case for the Founding Titan.
Right now the Founding Titan seems to keep the body of the original human user.
You saw Uri Reiss become a male looking Founding Titan, at least as far as you
could see.
On the other hand Frieda took on this female appearance for her Titan.
I should also mention how Frieda's mindless
Titan in the anime did look female.
That could have been a factor too.
As for the history behind this almighty Titan and the Reiss family.
The Reiss family was formally known as the "Fritz" family.
This special family later changed her name into the Reiss family and used this proxy
king within the walls as protection.
Commander Pixis has given a claim that supposedly this royal bloodline has been unbroken for
over 2,000 years.
Just given some shaky things with the history the validity of this is questionable.
As for the Founding Titan user's our retirement in present-day the
current holder is Eren Jaeger.
Of course Eren got this from Grisha who stole it
from the Reiss family.
Unfortunately Frieda only had this for part of her
lifetime.
Before her came Uri Reiss from the royal bloodline family.
Then sometime before that the holder was Rod and
Uri's father.
If you go back far enough you get to the first king of the walls.
This guy was known as Karl Reiss. or Karl Fritz.
If you go back about 2,000 years down the royal family bloodline you actually get to
Ymir.
So let's talk about Ymir.
Who exactly was this person?
Ymir was supposedly the original Titan which included the Founding Titan abilities.
The powers were then split into nine pieces when she died.
Seems that Ymir's titan powers weren't exactly all spread out equally.
One of the nine resulting Titan shifters included the Founding Titan which included a special
Titan power known as the "Coordinate ability".
Next up what exactly makes the Founding Titan so special?
I seen so many of you making the claim that this god like Titan beats all other Titan
shifters no problem.
How true is this?
The first of the Founding Titan's many abilities includes the memory manipulation.
The first king used this ability to Mindwipe the millions of people within the walls making
them forget about the outside.
His hope was to make the population easier to control in order to build this Utopia.
Besides this king you saw Frieda use this on Young Historia in attack on Titan season
3.
This memory ability showed that familiar Titan Lightning effect here.
It almost seemed like Frieda required physical contact with Historia.
Although given that the Founding Titan did some line wiping within the walls to millions
of people it almost certainly doesn't have this as a requirement.
Perhaps the Founding Titan memory manipulation is not restricted by distance and then more
selective memory manipulation may require this physical contact.
Next ability which is perhaps the strongest the Founding Titans Coordinate ability.
This almighty power enables the Founding Titan of control and command mindless Titans.
You saw Eren uses coordinate ability by accident.
It was at his most desperate time in the finale of attack on Titan season two.
Here Eren demonstrated command over Titans mindless via orders given from his scream.
Whether this verbal command is a requirement is unknown.
Perhaps the range is also unlimited.
Think of it like some super Titan Wi-Fi.
Just to add to this there has been speculation about whether a fully trained royal bloodline
user could also command Titan shifters.
Notice how the other Titan shifters within the area did sense Eren's command when he
used its ability however they weren't forced to obey, so maybe Eren cannot but how about
other users?
The manga has mentioned how in the past all the families who held the Titan shifter powers
were kept check only due to the existence of the Founding Titan.
One of those ways could have been via commanding those families Titans.
Next ability up which is still shrouded in mystery Titan creation.
The original Founding Titan King made millions of Colossal Titans in order to make three
great Titan walls.
Just imagine making millions of Titans individually one Titan syringe at a time would have taken
ages and ages.
This is why the Founding Titans should have some ability to produce Titans at will although
how exactly this works or to what limitations has never been fully demonstrated yet.
Keep in mind that hundreds of years before even the walls were erupted the Founding Titans
should have been the one responsible for making millions of mindless Titans in order to serve
as their weapons of mass destruction between wars.
As for any possible limitations or restrictions to the Founding Titan's power so far the
special powers have only been shown to work on Eldians who are Subjects of Ymir.
Eldians being the main race within the walls.
On top of this a second key aspect is the user.
The Founding Titan powers are only usable by the royal bloodline.
For a bit of a side note the Founding Titan's memory abilities seems to have some issues
on its own.
You know about how Frieda wiped herself from Historia's memories.
However Manga Historia actually dreamt of Frieda in the past.
Historia then forgot all about this after waking up.
It may be the case that instead of erasing these memories the Founding Titan instead
blocks regular access to these memories.
In other words there's still somewhere in your head.
Keep in mind that this Historia dream scene got removed from the season three anime so
perhaps this aspect got retoned.
Something that still is in tact is Historia of regaining these memories once she touched
Eren's back inside that crystal cave.
Does this mean that Eren and Historia have never touched each other in the past three
years?
Not even a slight bump into each other?
You can bet that Mikasa was sure to keep Eren pure enough.
Sorry Eren!
The only Blonde for you is gonna be Armin, but being serious it's very likely the combination
of touching Eren in that specific spot on his back along with being in that special
crystal cave.
Right now you may be wondering something important.
How did Eren use this Titan control ability?
Could it be that Grisha was secretly from the royal bloodline?
Let me just mention that so far there has been no evidence for that although I did touch
on responsibility in the previous video.
Anyway despite not being from the royal bloodline Eren has used the coordinate ability only
once throughout the series manga included.
This happened in their most desperate standoff.
That's right I'm talking about that random-ass miracle.
You saw Eren control and commanding mindless Titans right before they were wiped out.
I seen a good chunk of complaints about this being a random shonen asspull but it turns
out there is an actual explanation.
You know right now that Eren at this point has two Titan powers one of them being the
Founding Titan.
Right here Eren temporarily got access to the Coordinate ability from it, thanks papa
Yeager!
So now your question should be how the hell did Eren who's not from the royal bloodline
used as exclusive Titan abilities from theirs?
Turns out there's one loophole from non royal blood users.
According to Eren's theory him getting in contact with the Titan born from a royal blood
member allowed him to temporarily tap into this almighty
power.
Without going into the juicy details this doesn't mean that the Smiling
Titan that Eren punched was originally from the royal family bloodline.
I did mention this originally being Eren's Titan theory.
Recently this actually got confirmed by the Beast Titan.
Any non royal bloodline founding Titan that comes in contact
with a royal blood Titan, this includes a Titan shifter, would be able to access the
full Titan power ability that is without the King's will restriction.
Next up you may be thinking the Founding Titan sounds super Amazing why didn't it use his
powers to wipe out all Titans?
What exactly this King's Will that's preventing the Founding Titan user from doing anything?
Now you're getting into the deepest titan world history for Attack on Titan.
A bit of a disclaimer here there's been multiple versions of
this Titan history given by questionable sources within the story each were their
own agenda.
This is why this Titan history may be partial truth mixed together with lies or propaganda.
That quote about history being written by the victors is super applicable here.
Anyway let's go back in time a few hundred years.
During this time the great Eldia Empire ruled the world.
Marly history propaganda tells you that Eldians were savages who conquered as much land as
possible using their almighty titan powers.
This included the mindless titan army from the Eldian Fritz
King.
Ruled by this king were the Eldian people which was a race of people who
could become Titans.
Supposedly the Eldian committed mass genocide and
spread their seed within the population.
This all led up to the world being ruled by the great Eldia Empire.
Within this Empire existed nine different Eldian families with their own Titan shifters
part of this included the fritzsche royal blood family that
held the founding titan power as he may be thinking these great giant Empire
throughout history don't last forever despite the Audion empires iron control
over the land arguments came from within these Titan holding families eventually
this developing the constant fighting among the families that control their
own Titans it hasn't been fully rebeaud Yente but history credits the fritz
family first stepping in and holding these tight and family disagreements
throughout the centuries during this time the royal bloodline family kept
passing down their founding titan every 13 years or so this continued up until
the time of the 145th king during the time that the LD and king carl took the
throne this massive great item more erupted between the various titan
holding families enemies against this LD an empire actually used his war
confusion to capture seven of the nine

Elles: Being Non binary and Latinx - Duration: 10:03.
Maybe they know... but I don't get the sense that they KNOW.
Either they know and they just don't talk about it, or they don't know because
I've never told them.
I don't think many of them really know or would know that this is who I am and
I don't really necessarily think that it's important for them to know because
most of them wouldn't really get it, you know?
My name is Doug I identify as a
nonbinary person but mostly as a queer person in general. I also identify as a
mixed-race Latinx person. I am also Venezuelan and that matters a lot to me
because of our whole, like, political and social context.
I'm Heath V. Salazar and
I'm trans non-binary and agender, and Latinx. Latinx is like the
gender-neutral term for Latino or Latina. And my parents are Colombian, from Bogota.
So I'm first gen Canadian.
My name is Annie Segarra and I identify as a
disabled Latinx person and identify as nonbinary.
I am the daughter of immigrants; my mother is from Peru and my father is from Ecuador.
My name is Ashley Wylde. I identify as queer and nonbinary. My
grandma is a first generation immigrant from Venezuela and my father is white so
I identify as mixed-race and as white and white-passing.
[Heath] I was born here in Canada and so like a lot of my connection to my culture has
been art in many ways. Everything has been like through music or like through
dance or food are like the main three
things that have connected me to it.
[Annie] Being surrounded by amazing food and amazing music, having parties together
all the time, reunions all the time. It's a family but it feels like a community of people.
[Heath] There's just this element of sharing with Latinx
people, I think like that's my favorite. The immediate love that we give to
one another. As soon as we meet we're just like "okay great." That emphasis on
family and togetherness and creating space for everyone to come together has
always made me feel like I have a safe place to land.
Latino people we just really feel things very intensely and like moving here to North America
I feel like people tend to be a little more detached.
I love that I have a culture
that I get to come back to when I'm living in the hyphen. Meaning like the hyphen that
connects Latin-American. While at our roots we have our Latin culture, living in this
country have to go out into the world and move through our spaces more
Americanized. We kind of teeter that line and live somewhere in the middle of both worlds.
[Ashley] There's definitely a disconnect in me between the way I should be
because I was assigned female at birth, based on my culture and based on my
family and then who I am, which is a queer and nonbinary and gender
non-conforming person. And the tension between those two things, my culture and
my identity, can be really painful and confusing at times.
All throughout Latin-America we just still have very weird gender roles and very weird expectations
tied to gender and especially being someone who was assigned male at birth
like all the expectations that come with being the man of the family, and like not
just a man of the family but the man of your society and the man of the nation,
you know? Of your fatherhood, so strange like all these things are
ascribed to you when you're just a little kid about who you're supposed to be for
some random-ass concept you don't really know or care about.
The man has the final say and like, the man of the house, and then like the mom like stays
home and like takes care of kids. Me being like born afab, being a girl,
they were like "must protect the virginity of the child." From the get go
it's just like heavy gendering. So my impression though of like growing up
within this like super gendered world was that my future, my purpose, was
to like take care of a man who got to have a job and got to have a life.
Every little move that we make we have to look to our gender to decide what
that move is. There's all these ways that I feel like gender is policed and
enforced and regulated that are so damaging. I know especially like so many women back
home that just live completely like oppressed and silenced and erased lives.
The approach to gender roles is very strict and very binary. That also comes
within the context of the language itself, where everything is gendered.
Every single noun and object has its own gender, everything that we say is either
masculine or feminine. It's hard sometimes to refer to myself or refer to
other nonbinary people in Spanish just because I don't know what to use. In
Spanish if there's like a group of people and they're women you'd say "ellas,"
but as soon as there's one man it's "ellos," because god forbid we refer to a
man as a lady. Even in using plural language, like in terms of like they/them,
those are gendered in Spanish. This notion that any masculine presence in a
space changes the grammar of the language, assigning importance to gender
in a way that communicates to girls and women that their experience is necessarily
changed by the presence of masculinity... And when I think about that
linguistically, and I think about the implications on a culture whose language
has that kind of hidden inequality with regards to binary genders, then I think
about myself as a nonbinary person... it makes me feel isolated from and separate
from my language, and my culture, and my family in a way that I wish I didn't
have to be separate from them.
It's a constant source of tension for me
this gendered nature of the Spanish language. There are so many ways to say
all these things in English but back home I just feel like things don't carry
the same connotations. When I talk to my friends I mostly use like femininely
coded words. Some people instead of ending words and "o" and "a" they end them
in "e" or sometimes in "x" but that creates like awkward pronunciations or
awkward spelling sometimes that a lot of people are also not familiar with.
And it's only like a tiny little minority of younger folks mostly online.
Things are heavily gendered, but also I'm like if a chair is gendered... and
you try to gender me... it both has heavy context and also I'm like it can also not.
Like I get to choose that. If the moon is
like a lady, then like I'm really not concerned about if you think I'm a lady.
It goes many ways.
When it comes to the case of Venezuela, because in the
past 20 years we've been so focused on so many other things, you know, with our
political and economic and social crises, that that has had a very detrimental
effect to the development of a vibrant LGBTQ community mostly because a lot of
us, like me, as soon as we started noticing all these trends we just left.
The rest of my family, my extended family I pretty much just shut them out
of my life once I became queer because both sides of my family are just very
conservative, which was an adherence to gender an adherence to societal
constructs and the status quo. And for me like for me being queer is challenging
all that, you know, and embodying that.
Finding people who are queer and Latinx has been such a big thing. I grew up very
heavily religious, Roman Catholic. Being queer is not necessarily like ideal. It
doesn't come from a place of hatred it, in my family, comes from like a
place of concern. Being queer in Colombia is like really dangerous let
alone like being trans. It's almost like as queer people we like have to forge
own lineage as well in like this totally different way, because so
many of us are separated from our families because of varying reasons. My
Latinx group has formed like this other family. We are people who like understand
each other in a context that a lot of my white friends would not understand.
I had to live up to expectations of what being queer was according to very white and
anglo-saxon terms. My life and my view of the world has just evolved so much in
the last eight years in ways that I cannot even put in my own language or
reconcile with my culture, you know? I want the members of my family to know
me, I want them to see me. I want them to be able to understand me, or at least to
try. I am not out to my extended family as nonbinary, but they don't... I've never
even talked to them about being gay. I don't think they want to talk about it, I
don't think they want to know about it. That's actually really hard to say. Wow.
I didn't think I really, I honestly didn't think that I would get like
physically upset about having to say that
That is just gonna be the goal for me, you know, wherever I go to find
people who let me reconcile being Venezuelan, Latinx, queer and nonbinary.

Inside The Parallel Universe Jaguar Strat | Parallel Universe | Fender - Duration: 5:27.
[MUSIC]
Hi folks, my name's Allen Abbassi.
I'm the Senior Product Development Manager for Fender electric guitars and basses.
I'd like to talk to you today about one of our Parallel Universe guitars,
the Jaguar Strat.
First of all, the Parallel Universe concept here is that
we wanted to offer something new and unique each month.
And to do that we decided we would combine different Fender elements, mix and
match guitars, make hybrids, modify all these good things.
And that's obviously what we did here on this Jaguar Strat which is a combination
of a Strat and a Jaguar.
There's a lot going on here, so let's get right into it.
[MUSIC]
Okay, so let's talk about the neck.
What we've done here on this guitar is take a Jaguar neck and
attach it to a Stat body.
So you can see the distinctive head stock shape here.
We did use the Jaguar shaped head stock.
The thing about this guitar is that it's 25 and a half inch scale,
just like a Strat is.
Jaguars normally 24 inch scale length, but we did not do that on this.
This is a true Strat scale length.
We also borrowed the American Professional neck profile, so this is a Deep C profile.
It gets a little bit thicker in your hand, as you go up towards the higher frets.
Also, it's a nine and a half inch radius with narrow, tall frets.
So that means that when you bend notes they won't fret out, and
it's a little bit easier to dig in and grab the note to bend it.
It's a rosewood fret board and it's all lacquer finish.
So lacquer is an upgraded kind of a premium finish that ages nicely and
it allows the wood to breathe a little bit better.
Also, we have locking tuners.
That improves tuning stability and
it's also a lot easier to change strings with locking tuners.
Okay, now I'm going to show you some dirty tones.
And I'm going to our pugilist distortion right into the mirror image delay.
[MUSIC]
Okay, let's talk about the pick guard assembly.
What's special about this, obviously,
is that it's three pickups, normally a Jaguar only has two pickups.
These are actually our Pure Vintage 65 Jaguar pickups.
So they sound aggressive and treble-y and bite-y and they're beautiful, but
there is three of them.
So there's a bridge pickup, and
then we chose to use two neck pickups in the middle and neck position.
So you get a triple pickup set up on this Jaguar pick guard assembly.
They're controlled with a five-way Strat style switch, so
you can get all the different pickup combinations that a Strat could get.
So that means in position one it's just the bridge.
In position two it's the bridge and middle.
In position three it's the middle.
In position four it's the middle and neck.
And in position five it's just the neck.
Okay, now let's talk about the controls that are going on here in the upper
control plate.
This upper control plate controls a special switch
that works only when the Strat switch is in position three,
dead center in the middle of that Strat switch.
And what it does is you can turn this special function on or
off using this switch, and then that special function has two settings.
The bottom setting of the special function is all three pickups on.
And the top part of the special switching is having the bridge and neck together,
just like the middle position of a Telecaster.
And remember,
this only works when you're on the middle position of the Strat switch.
Okay, now for the volume and tones.
There's some other special stuff going on here.
On a Jaguar there's a wheel here that normally does something different than it
does on this guitar.
On this guitar we have a dedicated bridge tone control, which is very interesting.
So when you're using the bridge pickup,
this wheel in this upper plate controls the tone just for the bridge.
And then down here finally on this other control plate we have a master volume and
a tone for the neck and middle pickups here.
Okay, so let's talk about the bridge and the tremolo assembly.
This is actually borrowed from our American Professional Jag and Jazzmaster.
What that means is we have mustang barrel saddles.
And they've been radiused so that the radius of the bridge matches the radius of
the fret board, which is nine and a half.
That makes the functionality of the bridge a little better.
And then we have a special assembly here that's a vintage tremolo assembly.
But it has a screw-in arm,
which allows you to set the tension by screwing it in less or more.
And it doesn't fall out like a vintage one would.
So that's an American Professional bridge and tremolo assembly.
Finally what we've got here is an older body with a beautiful candy apple red
finish, that's a classic Fender vintage color, with a tortoise shell guard.
And again it's finished with lacquer, so
that means that it breathes a little better, it ages real nice.
It's just an upgraded kind of a premium style finish.

Real Pain and 'Explosive' Brains | Fibromyalgia - Duration: 6:06.
[INTRO ♪]
Fibromyalgia is one of the most commonly misunderstood disorders out there—
which is saying something, considering that there are a lot of misunderstood disorders.
It's characterized by widespread pain throughout the body, making it a literal pain in the everything.
But it's also difficult to figure out what causes it.
And that's led some people to argue that fibromyalgia isn't even real.
Admittedly, it is a controversial diagnosis, and scientists are still hotly debating a ton about it, including what role psychological factors play in causing symptoms.
But let's debunk this myth up front: Fibromyalgia is not a delusion.
The disorder, known in chronic pain communities as fibro, was first formally defined in 1990.
It's a chronic condition that affects 2 to 8% of the population.
Besides the widespread pain, it also includes symptoms like increased sensitivity to pain, difficulty sleeping, numbness, and problems with things like concentration and memory.
Usually, it's treated by medications or cognitive behavioral therapy, which aims to prevent patients from focusing on or panicking about their pain.
But fibro has also been surrounded by controversy, and a lot of that is because psychologists have had a really difficult time figuring out how to diagnose and classify it.
With such widespread symptoms, you'd think that it would be easy to take some physical measurements and diagnose someone with fibro on the spot.
But it's trickier than that, because some of those symptoms can also be caused by other simultaneous conditions like arthritis.
And as for what actually causes fibromyalgia…
Well, here's where things get especially messy, because there are a whole lot of factors that might trigger or contribute to all of these generalized, body-wide symptoms.
The most famous ones are psychological or environmental.
For example, those who've had significant physical injuries or experienced psychological trauma, especially in childhood, are more prone to developing fibromyalgia.
To be clear, though, that definitely does not mean that everyone with fibro has experienced trauma in their lives.
It's just one risk factor.
Another major one is genetics.
Fibro runs in families, and several studies have shown relationships between its development and dysfunctional genes controlling certain neurotransmitters—
specifically, serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine.
So, getting a diagnosis isn't always easy, and neither is figuring out what causes the disorder.
And all of that has led psychologists to disagree about what fibromyalgia should even be considered.
Actually, that's a pretty big understatement.
Over the years, there has been a ton of controversy over this.
Some scientists have believed that, since fibro is often linked to psychological factors, it should be categorized as a somatic symptom disorder.
This is a mental condition where psychological issues manifest as physical symptoms.
But other researchers have argued that it would be better classified as something else, since it can also be triggered by biology or the environment.
Today, though, many scientists say that instead we should look at fibro in the context of biological, psychological, and social factors combined.
Maybe unsurprisingly, this is what's known as the biopsychosocial approach.
It suggests that traumatic physical or psychological events, likely in combination with a genetic predisposition, may lead to that extreme response to pain and those other symptoms.
Of course, the specifics vary case to case, but all three branches are known to interact and play a role in producing fibromyalgia.
The exact mechanics of how this plays out in the body, though, are so far unknown.
And unfortunately—and especially because of the psychological factors involved in fibro—that's led to a common misunderstanding that patients are suffering a delusion that they're in pain, rather than being in actual pain.
This misunderstanding is actually so widespreadmthat it can be difficult for those with fibro to access available treatments, because they're just not being taken seriously.
But, like, you can't just shrug fibromyalgia off.
Even if psychologists argue about how to classify it, current research is clear that there's nothing delusional about it.
In one 2018 study, for example, researchers studying the mechanics of fibro patients' sensitivity to pain showed that their brains were acting sort of explosively in response to pain stimuli.
In the study, scientists used EEGs to test ten females with fibro, taking readings of their brain waves.
The readings showed signs of so-called electrical instability—brain waves behaving more erratically than expected in response to stimuli.
This made the researchers consider if what they were measuring may be similar to what's seen in something called explosively synchronizing networks.
Explosive synchronization, or ES, is a phenomenon that's usually studied in fields like physics, like with power grids, rather than medicine.
When it happens, a tiny stimulus causes a dramatic, synchronized reaction across a network.
In brains … that's, well, explosive.
To a fibro sufferer, a poke in the side that would feel like nothing to your average person becomes way more intense, becoming painful much more easily.
To see if this is actually what was happening, the researchers created computer models of a brain with fibromyalgia to see how it would respond to mild stimuli.
And like they suspected, the models reacted to pain in the same, explosive manner that patients reported.
This really tells us that fibro isn't just a case of people believing they're experiencing more pain, or something to ignore.
Instead, it suggests that there's a physical overreaction to pain stimuli in their brains.
It may still be fuzzy what causes that, but this was a big step in the right direction, even if the study was only with ten people.
And with more research, we could someday use this model to create new treatments for fibro.
There's still a long way to go, but there's lots of hope.
And in the meantime, one thing is for sure: despite all the misconceptions, fibromyalgia is nothing to ignore.

Hunting $50 in Pennies - 2 Box Hunt! - Duration: 9:26.
I've been asked for it so we're gonna do it fifty dollars in pennies
hey everyone
its Rob with Rob Finds Treasure and I've had several people ask me to do a multi
box penny hunt and I've had requests for $50 $100 $500 even a thousand and I'll
tell you I don't know if I could ever do a thousand that would be weeks of
filming and I'd have to eliminate some of my other hands to do that but it's
not out of the question so I thought since I've had some other more
reasonable requests like 50 bucks or 100 we've tried $50 this time so last week I
picked up two penny boxes for my bank I'm picking up two more tomorrow
oh by the time you watch this video I've already picked them up but I'm picking
up a couple more this week and I went ahead and opened up these to see if we
had any Enders on top I don't see any on this box and to tell you the truth I
didn't see any on this box so we've only checked one side we even checked both
sides but we'll check both sides as we hunt them I think we'll start with this
box and I'll move on to the second box now because it's gonna be a lot I would
assume a lot of fines and a lot of editing a lot of cuts I'm gonna try to
do less talking kind of rapid-fire finds and unless I find something that's
really worth talking about we'll keep this video as quick as possible in case
we get into a couple of fifteen or twenty wheat penny boxes a piece high
enough talking we got a lot of hunting to do so let's start roll three of the
box first wheat penny 1949 D same rule got some tape with a 50 on it but let's
just be a number it's copper I'll pull the tape off see what it is 1979 rule 14
gonna have our second wheat cent here 58 dead
fifteen and there we'd sent it's definitely a fifty four think it's a 54
D it is 54 D roll number 16 hitting a little pocket that's three rolls in a
row at the wheat penny and this one is 46 roll 17 I can see it peeking up looks
like an older Canadian not as well as I thought but older 77 roll 27 gonna have
our fifth wheat penny of the box I saw the date 56 D rolled over 30 gonna have
our six wheat sent and it looks pretty good
a 52d not bad whatsoever we'll take Wheaties like that especially
if they're in the 20s but it's not but it's still OED rule 39 wheat any number
seven think it's a 46 it is 46 D first box is down only 7 we Penny's oldest was
246 s that's it that's the other fine snow 59 I let's
crack into this box see how the second half of this hunt goes box to rule
number six we're gonna have our first wheat cent you can see it hopefully it's
older than 46
it's a 46 that's all I'll say about that box to roll 17 didn't have another wheat
penny and was facing me 1950 on the button and it's in pretty good shape
we'll take it rule number 22 we're gonna have another wheat penny for the box too
and this one is a 1942 oldest of the two boxes Bowl 27 I'm gonna have a Canadian
here 1982 well 36 are finally gonna have our
fourth wheat penny of the second box it's just a regular 44 philadelphia but
feels good getting another wheat penny for sure
rule number 40 we're gonna have our fifth wheat penny of the Box 12 of the
two boxes what year is it a 49 s rule 45 six wheat penny of the Box 13th of the
two boxes and looks like another 42 d so that's the oldest we've gotten out of
these two boxes not a lot of great finds but still really fun especially we could
find more we're all 46 guys and we had an odd edge I just laid him down because
I wanted to hunt if properly it's too big for a diamond it's copper looking
we got an old Netherland keine oh that's beautiful
1952 one cent I definitely don't have this coin and I love love love the
design we do a little research on this and I'll be right back
all right guys did a little research on it 1952 was the first year that they
made this coin only a million minted and an extra-fine
it's an eight dollar coin and that's on eBay I haven't checked any ratings on
anything else but it's a bronze coin mine's in pretty good shape
I flip it around that's pretty good shape right there pretty good detail I
would say it's extra fine so only a million of these minted it's beautiful I
absolutely love it I think it's a gorgeous coin great details look at
those details pretty clear fields no dings really and for a 66 year old coin
I'll take it especially with only a million minted like I said not extremely
valuable eight to ten bucks probably but first one I found I won't be selling it
it's gonna stay in the collection I like that one
that's worth several Wheaties in my opinion 50th through all the Box 100 of
the hunt we're gonna have our 14th wheat penny so
7 per box a57 so nothing old and unless there's
another one in here to make it 15 which I don't think so I'll get you guys
around up in a second only 14 wheat pennies in two boxes is about
average hunt per box so kind of light alright guys two boxes of pennies
hundred hundred rolls a lot of copper that's two boxes worth though so I
bought five and a half pounds we got 22 2009 s about average 11 per box three
thorns and I'll pull this one aside for now - or Canadians got 450 knives in
that box we had done on the last - 69 SS total got five good 60s and early 70s
cones and I'm gonna pull out anyway got a crazy worn down 1967 like I just
catched the edge of the seven I really love this red toned 77 I'm gonna keep it
we got 14 wheat pennies and nothing to talk about
- 42 to 44 346 s and to 49 s a 50 of 52 of 54 to 57 to 58 nothing old nothing
that good to find of the two boxes in my opinion is this 1 million minted only
demonetised these are no longer coin worth money but still a 1952 1 cent and
at least extra fine with details probably 8 to 10 dollar coin I'll take
it all day I didn't have one it's going in the collection
hopefully enjoyed the two box hunt the problem with two boxes if you get one or
two bad boxes it's kind of a boring hunt but hopefully wasn't too boring for you
guys I'll do more of these if you liked the video we're probably gonna hit some
big boxes sometimes it'll be a lot of fun just like we're probably gonna hit
some boring boxes sometimes it won't be as much fun
hopefully I'll give the video a thumbs up and as always everyone happy hunting
and thanks for watching

Real Madrid news: Julen Lopetegui struggles to explain shock Champions League loss - Duration: 2:49.
After comfortably brushing aside Roma 3-0 in their opening Group G game, Real Madrid were below par against CSKA and succumbed to a strike by Nikola Vlasic after just two minutes
The defeat signalled the first time that Los Blancos hadn't scored in three consecutive games since Fabio Capello was in charge back in January 2007
Karim Benzema, Casemiro and Mariano all hit the woodwork, but the La Liga giants struggled without the mercurial Gareth Bale who was out injured
And Lopetegui, rather than read too much into the performance, merely suggested the result was a freak one
When asked for his thoughts after the match, he said: "In the Champions League 10 days ago, we played a magnificent game against Roma
"Neither were we great then, nor are we bad now. "Football has these moments, it is not easy, but we must accept it and tomorrow move on and think about Alaves and La Liga
" Lopetegui also rallied behind the under-fire Benzema, continuing: "We have full confidence in Karim
"Goals often come in bursts, he started season fantastically. "At the moment, he and the team are not doing well in front of goal, but we are convinced that he and they will be scoring again soon
" When pressed about what was missing from his side, Lopetegui added: "We lacked to score one of the many chances we created
"We lacked that bit of luck, with four posts and so many chances. Real Madrid vs CSKA Moscow LIVE STREAM: How to watch Champions League Real Madrid losing to CSKA Moscow in highlights huge Ronaldo mistake "If you do not score it is difficult to win
" Real dropped into second place in Group B courtesy of the result. Lopetegui's men now turn their attentions back to La Liga where they travel to face Alaves on Saturday (5
30pm BST).

Inside The Parallel Universe Jaguar Strat | Parallel Universe | Fender - Duration: 5:27.
[MUSIC]
Hi folks, my name's Allen Abbassi.
I'm the Senior Product Development Manager for Fender electric guitars and basses.
I'd like to talk to you today about one of our Parallel Universe guitars,
the Jaguar Strat.
First of all, the Parallel Universe concept here is that
we wanted to offer something new and unique each month.
And to do that we decided we would combine different Fender elements, mix and
match guitars, make hybrids, modify all these good things.
And that's obviously what we did here on this Jaguar Strat which is a combination
of a Strat and a Jaguar.
There's a lot going on here, so let's get right into it.
[MUSIC]
Okay, so let's talk about the neck.
What we've done here on this guitar is take a Jaguar neck and
attach it to a Stat body.
So you can see the distinctive head stock shape here.
We did use the Jaguar shaped head stock.
The thing about this guitar is that it's 25 and a half inch scale,
just like a Strat is.
Jaguars normally 24 inch scale length, but we did not do that on this.
This is a true Strat scale length.
We also borrowed the American Professional neck profile, so this is a Deep C profile.
It gets a little bit thicker in your hand, as you go up towards the higher frets.
Also, it's a nine and a half inch radius with narrow, tall frets.
So that means that when you bend notes they won't fret out, and
it's a little bit easier to dig in and grab the note to bend it.
It's a rosewood fret board and it's all lacquer finish.
So lacquer is an upgraded kind of a premium finish that ages nicely and
it allows the wood to breathe a little bit better.
Also, we have locking tuners.
That improves tuning stability and
it's also a lot easier to change strings with locking tuners.
Okay, now I'm going to show you some dirty tones.
And I'm going to our pugilist distortion right into the mirror image delay.
[MUSIC]
Okay, let's talk about the pick guard assembly.
What's special about this, obviously,
is that it's three pickups, normally a Jaguar only has two pickups.
These are actually our Pure Vintage 65 Jaguar pickups.
So they sound aggressive and treble-y and bite-y and they're beautiful, but
there is three of them.
So there's a bridge pickup, and
then we chose to use two neck pickups in the middle and neck position.
So you get a triple pickup set up on this Jaguar pick guard assembly.
They're controlled with a five-way Strat style switch, so
you can get all the different pickup combinations that a Strat could get.
So that means in position one it's just the bridge.
In position two it's the bridge and middle.
In position three it's the middle.
In position four it's the middle and neck.
And in position five it's just the neck.
Okay, now let's talk about the controls that are going on here in the upper
control plate.
This upper control plate controls a special switch
that works only when the Strat switch is in position three,
dead center in the middle of that Strat switch.
And what it does is you can turn this special function on or
off using this switch, and then that special function has two settings.
The bottom setting of the special function is all three pickups on.
And the top part of the special switching is having the bridge and neck together,
just like the middle position of a Telecaster.
And remember,
this only works when you're on the middle position of the Strat switch.
Okay, now for the volume and tones.
There's some other special stuff going on here.
On a Jaguar there's a wheel here that normally does something different than it
does on this guitar.
On this guitar we have a dedicated bridge tone control, which is very interesting.
So when you're using the bridge pickup,
this wheel in this upper plate controls the tone just for the bridge.
And then down here finally on this other control plate we have a master volume and
a tone for the neck and middle pickups here.
Okay, so let's talk about the bridge and the tremolo assembly.
This is actually borrowed from our American Professional Jag and Jazzmaster.
What that means is we have mustang barrel saddles.
And they've been radiused so that the radius of the bridge matches the radius of
the fret board, which is nine and a half.
That makes the functionality of the bridge a little better.
And then we have a special assembly here that's a vintage tremolo assembly.
But it has a screw-in arm,
which allows you to set the tension by screwing it in less or more.
And it doesn't fall out like a vintage one would.
So that's an American Professional bridge and tremolo assembly.
Finally what we've got here is an older body with a beautiful candy apple red
finish, that's a classic Fender vintage color, with a tortoise shell guard.
And again it's finished with lacquer, so
that means that it breathes a little better, it ages real nice.
It's just an upgraded kind of a premium style finish.

BEST Lil Wayne Songs On "Tha Carter V" - Duration: 10:14.
Hey guys, I'm still alive.
Long story short, I had a throat infection for over a week and struggled to talk so that
was lovely.
But today, we will be talking about Tha Carter V, an album that honestly surprised me with
how good it was.
Wayne made a hell of a comeback with this.
So in this video, I will be telling you what my personal favourite songs from this project
are and why.
So with that being said, there's my social media accounts, follow me there and when I
hit 10k on them I'll follow a bunch of you guys back, and let's get right into this
video.
8 - Uproar
Now this song is probably about to become ten times more popular than it already is
due to Wayne starting a challenge based around this song, but I can't really complain about
that because this track goes hard.
The very upbeat instrumental combined with Lil Wayne's memorable flows during the chorus
makes it very easy for this song to stick in your mind, and it's one of the catchiest
songs on this project.
Lyrically it's very much a punchline and rhyme focused song, and it makes for a fun
track.
I wouldn't be surprised if Wayne's Uproar challenge helps this albums sales increase
past its already impressive numbers.
7 - Dope N***az (feat.
Snoop Dogg)
This is a great song overall, but the thing that got me most hyped was when the sample
of Xxplosive by Dr Dre came through on the beat.
I legit jumped up in excitement when I heard that, because that was one of my favourite
instrumentals on Dre's 2001 album.
Hearing it sampled here was so unexpected.
Snoop Dogg's voice works perfectly over this sample during the hook as you can imagine,
and it gives the song a really relaxed feeling to it.
And I particularly enjoy Wayne's second verse on here, where he talks about how the
people he grew up around, and how even though he was similar to them, he was raised to go
down a different path with his talents.
Oh and if I didn't mention already, the beat samples Xxplosive and it's so goddamn
nice on here.
6 - Let It Fly (feat.
Travis Scott)
I'm already a massive fan of Travis Scott's music, so this song basically scored points
instantly by just having him on here, and his performance is pretty great on this track.
He comes with this fairly unique delivery during the chorus where it's still very
much Travis's style, but he delivers his vocals in a noticeably different inflection
to make them stand out.
He also has a cool verse on here too.
Then Lil Wayne.
My god Wayne killed it on here, with these segments of never ending wordplay, using the
words "mind" and "line" in as many different contexts as he can think of.
The line wordplay got a bit far fetched in my opinion towards the last 1 or 2 bars, it
just dragged on a bit too long, but it's still very impressive and it's always nice
to see Wayne is still so sharp after all this time.
5 - Dark Side of the Moon (feat.
Nicki Minaj)
I think the best word for this track is soothing, if you wanna just sit back and mellow out,
this is the perfect song from this album for you.
Lil Wayne opts for a more laidback melodic delivery on this one, and gives us a really
interesting verse where he uses the world going through an apocalypse as a metaphor
for himself hitting rock bottom, but even in these times where everything seems doomed
he still has his girl by his side.
Then Nicki Minaj comes through to contribute to this idea with some nice metaphors of her
own, and goddamn her singing was way more on point than I ever thought it would be.
She genuinely sounds great on here.
It's a really cute track overall, and I love the creativity behind a lot of the bars
on this one.
4 - Used 2
This is one of the most intriguing songs in terms of the instrumental to me, because it
implements a lot of these slight changes as it goes on.
It generally stays the same, but more and more drums are slowly added to or dropped
out of the beat, and it means the song always keeps your attention because you're constantly
keeping a look out for the next change, with it happening more so during the first verse
as everything is building up.
Speaking of the production, this track also marks the first time that Metro Boomin has
produced a Wayne song.
Wayne himself comes with gripping verses, with his voice getting more frantic and intense
as the beat starts to build up.
It's a really engaging song, and I love the energy behind
this one.
3 - Dedicate
This song was great for so many reasons, but one of my favourite things about it is how
much Wayne references the large influence he has had over modern day rap culture.
He had his face tatted before every single up and coming rapper started doing that, and
he lets you know about it on here.
In fact, the hook on this song is a sample of a 2 Chainz song where he praised Wayne
for how he pretty much changed the game, and it's hard to deny the impact he's had.
Weezy also comes through with some attention grabbing flows and rhyme schemes on this track,
just peep the second verse where he maintains the same multisyllabic rhyme scheme for the
entire verse.
And then he continued the same rhyme scheme through the entire 3rd verse.
It's great.
And just to cement the fact that he is a well respected rapper, Wayne ends the track with
a sample of a speech where Obama complimented him.
This was his main flex track on here for sure.
2 - Let It All Work Out
Without a doubt this song contains one of the emotional highlights of this album, the
third verse on this one, it had ya boi tearing up a little.
You see, when he was 12 years old, Lil Wayne shot himself in the chest with his mother's
gun, an incident that he claimed to be an accident in interviews up until now.
In this verse, he reveals that it was actually a suicide attempt.
Now Wayne has mentioned that he attempted suicide before on the song Mad, but he didn't
go into to much detail and didn't mention that it happened when he was only 12 years
old.
It's heartbreaking to hear about, but Wayne turns it into a positive moment, saying how
things will always work out.
Just like many people, Wayne hit the lowest point in his life, and he shows with this
track that he bounced back from it in a big way.
It's a very hopeful message.
Top that off with a great beat and a beautiful chorus sampled from a Sampha song, and it's
something that is heartbreaking but uplifting at the same time.
Amazing stuff.
1 - Mona Lisa (feat.
Kendrick Lamar)
Now I've loved pretty much all of the tracks featured in this video so far, but this song
is on a whole other level of great.
It combines well crafted storytelling, intense deliveries and non stop flows all over a somewhat
low key but powerful beat, and it is brilliant.
Lil Wayne has some really hard hitting punches here, and there's so much wordplay that
I doubt you'll catch it all on the first few listens.
In his verse, he tells the story of how he robs a man by getting this girl he knows to
get close to this man and find out all his information.
It's a straightforward narrative, but the way Wayne tells it is really compelling, and
he sounds so invested in telling this story that it's hard to not cling on to every
word.
Not to mention some of his lines here are hilarious.
As for Kendrick, he came through with a pretty awful verse honestly, I don't know what
he was doing- of course I'm joking he absolutely f****** killed it too.
He told a different story, but with the main focus still being on a woman.
He goes through a range of emotions, talking about how he fell for this girl, then revealing
that he hasn't been faithful to her, but he hypocritically flys off the handle at her
for sleeping with rappers behind his back.
The intensity ramps up to the point where Kendrick's character kills himself in the
end, finishing the song off in a tragic way.
There's a lot to analyse through all the verses, and both rappers have incredible vocal
performances that fit the story they tell on here.
It's near perfect and makes for my favourite track on the album without
a
second thought.

BEST Lil Wayne Songs On "Tha Carter V" - Duration: 10:14.
Hey guys, I'm still alive.
Long story short, I had a throat infection for over a week and struggled to talk so that
was lovely.
But today, we will be talking about Tha Carter V, an album that honestly surprised me with
how good it was.
Wayne made a hell of a comeback with this.
So in this video, I will be telling you what my personal favourite songs from this project
are and why.
So with that being said, there's my social media accounts, follow me there and when I
hit 10k on them I'll follow a bunch of you guys back, and let's get right into this
video.
8 - Uproar
Now this song is probably about to become ten times more popular than it already is
due to Wayne starting a challenge based around this song, but I can't really complain about
that because this track goes hard.
The very upbeat instrumental combined with Lil Wayne's memorable flows during the chorus
makes it very easy for this song to stick in your mind, and it's one of the catchiest
songs on this project.
Lyrically it's very much a punchline and rhyme focused song, and it makes for a fun
track.
I wouldn't be surprised if Wayne's Uproar challenge helps this albums sales increase
past its already impressive numbers.
7 - Dope N***az (feat.
Snoop Dogg)
This is a great song overall, but the thing that got me most hyped was when the sample
of Xxplosive by Dr Dre came through on the beat.
I legit jumped up in excitement when I heard that, because that was one of my favourite
instrumentals on Dre's 2001 album.
Hearing it sampled here was so unexpected.
Snoop Dogg's voice works perfectly over this sample during the hook as you can imagine,
and it gives the song a really relaxed feeling to it.
And I particularly enjoy Wayne's second verse on here, where he talks about how the
people he grew up around, and how even though he was similar to them, he was raised to go
down a different path with his talents.
Oh and if I didn't mention already, the beat samples Xxplosive and it's so goddamn
nice on here.
6 - Let It Fly (feat.
Travis Scott)
I'm already a massive fan of Travis Scott's music, so this song basically scored points
instantly by just having him on here, and his performance is pretty great on this track.
He comes with this fairly unique delivery during the chorus where it's still very
much Travis's style, but he delivers his vocals in a noticeably different inflection
to make them stand out.
He also has a cool verse on here too.
Then Lil Wayne.
My god Wayne killed it on here, with these segments of never ending wordplay, using the
words "mind" and "line" in as many different contexts as he can think of.
The line wordplay got a bit far fetched in my opinion towards the last 1 or 2 bars, it
just dragged on a bit too long, but it's still very impressive and it's always nice
to see Wayne is still so sharp after all this time.
5 - Dark Side of the Moon (feat.
Nicki Minaj)
I think the best word for this track is soothing, if you wanna just sit back and mellow out,
this is the perfect song from this album for you.
Lil Wayne opts for a more laidback melodic delivery on this one, and gives us a really
interesting verse where he uses the world going through an apocalypse as a metaphor
for himself hitting rock bottom, but even in these times where everything seems doomed
he still has his girl by his side.
Then Nicki Minaj comes through to contribute to this idea with some nice metaphors of her
own, and goddamn her singing was way more on point than I ever thought it would be.
She genuinely sounds great on here.
It's a really cute track overall, and I love the creativity behind a lot of the bars
on this one.
4 - Used 2
This is one of the most intriguing songs in terms of the instrumental to me, because it
implements a lot of these slight changes as it goes on.
It generally stays the same, but more and more drums are slowly added to or dropped
out of the beat, and it means the song always keeps your attention because you're constantly
keeping a look out for the next change, with it happening more so during the first verse
as everything is building up.
Speaking of the production, this track also marks the first time that Metro Boomin has
produced a Wayne song.
Wayne himself comes with gripping verses, with his voice getting more frantic and intense
as the beat starts to build up.
It's a really engaging song, and I love the energy behind
this one.
3 - Dedicate
This song was great for so many reasons, but one of my favourite things about it is how
much Wayne references the large influence he has had over modern day rap culture.
He had his face tatted before every single up and coming rapper started doing that, and
he lets you know about it on here.
In fact, the hook on this song is a sample of a 2 Chainz song where he praised Wayne
for how he pretty much changed the game, and it's hard to deny the impact he's had.
Weezy also comes through with some attention grabbing flows and rhyme schemes on this track,
just peep the second verse where he maintains the same multisyllabic rhyme scheme for the
entire verse.
And then he continued the same rhyme scheme through the entire 3rd verse.
It's great.
And just to cement the fact that he is a well respected rapper, Wayne ends the track with
a sample of a speech where Obama complimented him.
This was his main flex track on here for sure.
2 - Let It All Work Out
Without a doubt this song contains one of the emotional highlights of this album, the
third verse on this one, it had ya boi tearing up a little.
You see, when he was 12 years old, Lil Wayne shot himself in the chest with his mother's
gun, an incident that he claimed to be an accident in interviews up until now.
In this verse, he reveals that it was actually a suicide attempt.
Now Wayne has mentioned that he attempted suicide before on the song Mad, but he didn't
go into to much detail and didn't mention that it happened when he was only 12 years
old.
It's heartbreaking to hear about, but Wayne turns it into a positive moment, saying how
things will always work out.
Just like many people, Wayne hit the lowest point in his life, and he shows with this
track that he bounced back from it in a big way.
It's a very hopeful message.
Top that off with a great beat and a beautiful chorus sampled from a Sampha song, and it's

TJ MAXX CLOTHING & DECOR HAUL! - Duration: 6:56.
hey guys welcome back to my Channel today I'm super excited because I'm
gonna be doing a t.j.maxx haul for you guys I cannot wait because I love
t.j.maxx it's very hit-or-miss I feel like when I go in there sometimes
I can find a ton of stuff and actually like really hurts my wallet or I can't
find anything at all I walk out at the store empty-handed I get nervous because
I think people are gonna think I'm stealing something but I didn't I just
truly didn't find anything but my last shopping trip I found way too much so I
thought I would share it with you guys and I loved it all
so let's get on into it so the background is still in progress Kyle I
need your help taking these photos of the piano oh my gosh and kind of got
this piano for me for my anniversary it was our two year anniversary date not
for two year anniversary he got a piano for me I'm so excited so I thought that
was so sweet I wanted to put it in my background and I just I love I love
what's going on here it just needs some work so anyways let's go down into it so
let's start with clothes first I guess Oh talk about what I'm wearing
right now I got this shirt from TJ Maxx it's actually a free people shirt I was
like oh my gosh I love Free People it was originally a hundred and eight
dollars and I got it for 40 so it was still a little bit more expensive than I
wanted to spend I really actually didn't want to spend $40 on this shirt but you
know what I love it because it covers my booty and I love that for the fall if
you want to just pair it with some leggings and put some like long boots
with it or short booties I think it looks so cute I love the color and I
love how it buttons down the front and it has little roll up sleeves it's kind
of like a big man shirt slash boyfriend shirt which is so cute but it's girly
and it's kind of like flowy and pretty for false so that's why I picked this up
and then the next thing I got was this olive green kind of moto cropped jacket
I think this is so cute it's by the brand shine star never heard of them but
it is normally $32 we got it for $24.99 so a little bit of a steal and I think
this is just so cute and I love like that black kind of metallic silver
detailing it's super cute so the next thing I got from TJ Maxx
this beautiful camel colored t-shirt I think this is just a perfect layering
piece again to put under any jackets for the fall I love this color especially
with my hair lately I've been loving that kind of camel color brown and it
just has a little pocket and it's super soft nothing special I think this was
like eight bucks so I was like sure why not and then the next thing I got it's
probably my favorite out of the whole haul is this green like a military
jacket I think this is so cute it has the gold detailing on the buttons and it
cinches in around your waist so you can make it kind of girly and cute and it
just looks very flattering on sometimes it can get these jackets and they can
look just kind of like foxy and I really love this one because it like makes you
look like you have a little bit of a waist it opens in the back which is so
cute and you can roll up the sleeves to which I really really love so I think
everyone needs one of these jackets for the Fall this was kind of expensive too
it was $40 and I wasn't super impressed with the price but I was like I don't
have one in my closet so I might as well invest in one I like so I thought this
was super cute all right so I have two more clothing items this jacket was so
popular last winter and they're making a comeback
I forget who started these originally it was kind of like the expensive version
of these jackets but now they've made them a lot cheaper so this one was only
$24.99 I love how cozy this is it's like a bunch of cotton balls it's so warm and
cozy it's perfect for the Fall I feel like when I wore my jacket last winter
it was a little bit too cold if you just wear this like if you wear layers
underneath it it's fine but my other jacket oh this one's awesome because it
actually has line II okay so my other jacket doesn't have lining and it's very
similar to this one it looks pretty much the same but when it was cold out you
could kind of feel the breeze and like the cold air because it would go
straight through they put lining on this one which is
super smart so I just love the color I needed a new cotton ball jacket so I
picked it up and then the last thing I got was this basic pullover sweatshirt I
think this is so adorable it kind of has that like scrunch down neck and you
just put this over leggings because it's really long I was in my closet and I was
like I really need more long pieces because I'm super tall for one nothing
covers my butt so I love I love how long this shirt is I can just throw it on
with leggings you don't even have to think about it that's my kind of shirt
I'm now on to like the decor area I got this coffee mug which is it really decor
it's more of just like a cup but it's so cute it's super simple and it just says
pause lately I've been noticing that I have had the hardest time slowing down
my brain like probably you guys are thinking right now like she talks really
fast but I had the hardest time slowing down my brain and just like sitting
there and listening or like soaking in the moment and normally I'm very good at
being in the moment but lately my brains just been everywhere so when Kyle comes
home at night and he's like trying to tell me about something I feel like I
just need to pause so I picked this up and I was like hey that is actually
perfect for what's going on in my life right now they also had one that said
pray which is super cute so I really loved that and then I was like okay I
can't leave t.j.maxx without getting a little bit of fall to course so I picked
up these two little pumpkins I think they're so cute this one says give
thanks on it and then this one's just a basic orange pumpkin this one was $4.99
and then this big one was $12.99 so I'm just gonna set that underneath where I
have like the TV stand and I think that will be super cute and then the last two
things that I got from TJ Maxx are some more decor so I got this little plant
which i think is so cute I love that like wooden vase it's in and then it's
just green little I don't even know what this plane is called does anyone know
what this is called leave it in the comments I'm so bad with plants but I
really like how they look I just don't know anything about him so that's why I
get fake ones but this one was $10 and I'm using it it's just a little piece in
my background and then the last thing I got was this little sign that says home
I liked how these didn't really match but kind of coordinated so they'll sit
back there on my piano just think they're so cute I love being
home especially during the weekends like we're not home during the weekends a lot
and when we are I'm just like I'm so glad to be home
Kyle feels the same way so I just thought this sign was so cute so I think
this is all I got I hope you guys enjoyed this video thank you so much for
watching and I'll see you next time bye I just wanna hold

Man Utd news: Dion Dublin slates three players after Champions League draw vs Valencia - Duration: 2:26.
Manchester United's indifferent form continued after their goalless draw against the La Liga outfit at Old Trafford
Jose Mourinho's men huffed and puffed, but lacked a cutting edge, with Marcus Rashford coming closest after striking the crossbar with a free-kick with 10 minutes remaining of normal time
Mourinho has come under intense pressure and his side were in desperate need of a positive response after their 3-1 reverse away to West Ham in the Premier League last week
The Portuguese tactician had questioned the commitment of some of his players in the run-up to their game against Los Che
And Dublin didn't hold back in lambasting Pogba, Fellaini and Matic in his post-match assessment
"I've never seen so many Man Utd players, who I'd normally hang my hat on, give the ball away so much," Dublin said
"Paul [Pogba] has been a little lacklustre, Nemanja [Matic] the same, Maroaune [Fellaini] has been a bit messy and scruffy
"It just doesn't feel like I'm watching Man Utd." Dublin went on to reveal how shocked he was with the general performance from his former club
He added: "I wasn't expecting a performance like that. "It was 70 minutes of the Man Utd we have seen all season so far
"I looked at the players at the final whistle and they look out of sorts. "There's no togetherness and there's no anger – I want to see a bit of anger
" United have collected four points from their opening two group games. Next up for Mourinho is the visit of Newcastle on Saturday (5
30pm).

Drill Press Digital Readout - Duration: 2:36.
This is a digital readout for my small drill press which I built a little while ago.
I didn't do a build video on it because it was a lot of soldering and coding and programming.
Doesn't make for good videos, but I wanted to do a rundown on how it goes together
We'll start with the encoder. I made a mount where it goes on the drill press,
this attaches to the pinion nut and it's just a socket
that I changed the square end of. To one that fits the shaft of the encoder. This is a $35,
1024 step encoder. It reads, you know whether or not it's going one direction or the other.
That attaches to an Arduino Mini which takes that information and translates it into a measurement.
The power supply is either a nine volt or you can run it off of a wall wart. I've got a
heavy magnet so I can stick it where I can see it while I'm cutting and
there are two positions for it.
There is a setting with the red LED for imperial and a green LED for metric and
you put the bit in, you lower it toward the bit touches the workpiece, you zero it out
and then you raise it back up and begin cutting and it'll tell you within two
thou. How deep your cut is.
Pretty simple.
The way that I calculated what the Arduino needs to know is
I raise the table up
to the chuck. With it on a three-two-one block
Zeroed it out. Then measure it down to two
down to one and
down to the table and with those numbers I could get what the translation between
the
encoder would be towards real-world numbers.
So now that I have a larger newer drill press.
I'm just going to swap this
socket out for one that fits the new nut and then take those same readings again
and
change the numbers in the Arduino through this slot
So that's the simple homemade
accurate
reasonably inexpensive drill press digital readout
