The abrupt cut to Chris Tucker was hilarious. You know they were scrambling in the booth to hit that cut button

Damn, those look dope. Reminds me of the old Kicker subs that everyone used to have in their trunks. That's the first time I've ever seen them on a stand up speaker also. Kinna crazy.
Yeah, they look great but I’m not too sure if they’re durable like round speakers. I might pick them up if they hit half price.

Yea, $100+ is bonkers. Fishers usually low shelf quality. The odd look is the only thing goin for it. Squares usually hit harder than rounds but have less clarity. Kinna why Kicker went with squares for trunk subs. The mids on them don't look that good either, only about the same size as the tweeter. Definitely not worth the $100+. You can find some Pioneers on Craigslist at that price. Craigslist always has speakers on deck.

Wow. I feel bad for the kid. He had to be scared when she didn't come back up. Sitting alone in that boat for hours wondering what happened to his mom until another boater finally found him. That sucks man.

Myke Towers expresses his thoughts and outlines what he feels is his responsibility as an artist with a platform on his track by channeling one of the most influential Black leaders in history. "MICHAEL X"'s powerful visual opens with Malcolm X's speech adressing police brutality in Los Angeles on May 20, 1962. Dressed in a black-and-white suit, Towers evokes X (at one point standing in front of a podium like X does in his famous 1962 Los Angeles speech), letting go of his usual lifestyle lyrics and trap/reggaeton beat. Instead, he adopts a more serious tone over a traditional hip-hop sound that takes him back to his roots.
"I wrote this song to really get so much I had inside me, out. I needed to say what you hear. I needed the world to hear my point of view as an Afro-Latino," he said.
And so he does, using lyrics to reference slavery, immigration, 9/11, politics—from police brutality to Puerto Rico's controversial Governor Wanda Vázquez Garced—Black pop culture, including Wakanda, home of Black comic book hero Black Panther, and Kobe Bryant. In one verse, Towers also references Latin pop culture, using witty lyricism to reference fellow Puerto Rican rapper Rene Pérez Joglar, a.k.a Residente.
Beyond sharing his perspective, Towers uses "MICHAEL X" to uplift Black people and share his pride. "I like seeing how the beautiful faces of my Black people cheer up," he raps in a verse.
The powerful song began as just thoughts but quickly became something more. "At first, my intention was really penning down some thoughts and sentiments but then the lyrics just began flowing and before I knew it, it was a full song," he said. "I knew I had to record it. It was an intense and emotional moment you know?"
The rapper feels Floyd's death, who he mentions in the song, is a catalyst for change. "While unfortunate, the death George Floyd woke the world up. It is shaking its core," he said. "I feel in life everything is timed out and aligns how it is meant to be aligned, and us being in quarantine has really made us open our eyes."
Towers feels strongly about being a part of a generation that enacts change.
"The death of George Floyd has impacted the world very deeply," he said. "No man, woman or child should have to worry about being treated unjustly just because of the color of their skin. As a younger generation, it is our responsibility to TAKE part and BE part of the change."
