    It's inspiring to see Alc stick to what is meaningful to him and not worry about the misunderstanding's of others as we all get older. I know a lot of annoying people that live more traditional lives who don't understand hiphop or are resentful that they didn't follow their dreams, probably ask questions like "what instrument do you play" thinking that as a music producer he needs to compose every sound lol. Bless you Alc, legend

      the halifax explosion is such an insane story, being from dartmouth and hearing about it all your life u kinda shrug it off, at least i did. but before the atom bomb it was the largest man made explosion in history, where i grew up we had a peice of the cannon from the mont blanc across the street, where im pretty sure it flew all the way from the harbour

The company denies it but what happened is that McDonalds literally bought the whole supplier company like down to the fields that the Tims coffee was being farmed. So Tims says it didnt sell the recipe and thats true, but the beans in the McDonalds are the OG Tim's and after that change happened tims coffee went to hell.

    Yeah sound checks are inportant. Was running the main stage of the Paradiso when a rapper thought food uptake was more important than a 5 minute line check. Begged her to reconsider. Multiple times. No avail. They never had a problem so why bother, right? Result: at her time slot the bassrig bugged out. Took them 20 minutes to isolate the problem. Had to cut her performance short. Hope they learned. Ah, a wise man learnes from his mistakes, but an even wiser man learns from the mistakes of others.
