Something other than some rope and piling heavy books on the stand would be helpful. It would be nice to have more options for securing the thing in a breeze if you’re not on a lawn where stakes are helpful. The whole thing is easy to set up and take down, the instructions are clear and the picture is bright and accurate. This whole kit is highly portable (just under 24 pounds) and designed to be set up and stowed quickly. It’s not really rated for extended outdoor use, however, so you don’t want to leave this out over several days. The screen is made of mildew-resistant, multi-layer PVC that is easily cleaned with soap and water. The back of the screen has a thick black covering that prevents light leaks from behind the screen from spoiling the show. While a lot will depend on how much light your projector is putting out (it’s rated for all projectors, from standard to ultra-short throw), the bright white screen offers a 180-degree viewing angle, uniform brightness and vibrant and accurate colors. The tension from the snaps on the screen did a good job of holding the material tight. If I looked closely from a few feet away, I could see slight folds in the screen fabric, but once I turned the projector on, those melted away. The screen itself is a solid 100-inch (diagonal) rectangle of fabric made from the company’s CineWhite UHD-B material, with about a 2-inch black border all around the 16:9 screen that frames the image. Elite Screens says it’s rated only up to breezes of 7 miles per hour, so you’ll definitely want to stake this thing down if you can. We weren’t able to use the stakes since we were on a concrete roof, but we put some boxes of books on the frame legs, and it was steady as a rock after that. Thankfully, the screen comes with stakes, support rope and rings to help secure it. But the wind didn’t agree, and the screen caught the breeze like a sail. I set it up on a friend’s balcony in Washington, D.C., with a gorgeous sunset. These were sold out on the Elite Screens site at the time of writing this review.Īfter that assembly, you’ll want to secure it. You can get leg extensions ($39) that will add 26 inches to the screen height if you’re entertaining a large group. Screen Material Award Winning CineWhite 1. Once assembled, the frame is just over 92 inches wide and 78 inches high, with the distance from the bottom of the frame to the ground measuring about 28 inches. I was able to set it up in under 10 minutes, and with practice, I’ll bet I could get it under five. You then snap the screen - which takes a bit of stretching and grunting - onto the foldable frame. The frame is made up of three main components that snap together quickly and easily, although those instructions helped make sure I had them all in the proper positions. There’s a fast-folding, light aluminum frame that, with a cursory glance at the instructions, was easily assembled.

Not sure if that is what I am suffering here. If it is anything like my Quantum, the build n’t fine, I just needed the B1 working, and the ROM and RAM were causing problems. So here is another board I purchased couple of years ago and could never get working. It redefined rap as just being a beat driven hook with some words in between and an entire generation has surrendered to chasing the format instead of chasing the art form. It set up ambiguous rules and systems for success that don’t take into consideration the quality and skill of the rappers craft. Modern Radio and the commercial realm of music has injured rap. We express ourselves creatively and attain a sense of liberation and self-esteem via this sacred mode of creation and communication. We achieve a mastery of language and poetics that competes on the highest levels of discourse across the entirety of human history. But that’s not the point, the point is that what pursuing the craft gives us in terms of the intangibles is something that record sales or fame could never represent. The vast majority of rappers will never sell 100 records in their lifetimes let alone millions. Rappers who pursue the art form with this level of intention may not become rich and famous off selling their raps to a wide audience but that has never been an accepted metric to begin with in terms of quality or level of skill. But I know a lot of MC’s where rap is the first love and the first thing they think about when they wake up and the last thing they think about when they go to sleep. If rap is a side hustle for you or just a come up then by all means may the force be with you. The phrase “I’m not a rapper” gets thrown around as if it’s a badge of honor. Sales, live performances, realness etc but the one thing that is the most important is the raps themselves at least in the eyes of other serious rappers. Respect from other MC’s comes in many formats. It’s takes years of work and trial and error to master some of its finer points. Some of the most pivotal moments in rap have been ghostwritten verses. It is nothing to go crazy over or be offended about unless you are someone who postures him or herself on the importance of authenticity and tries to portray that quality to your fans or the public at large. Ghostwriting, or borrowing lines, or taking suggestions from the room has always been in rap and will always be in rap. To rappers from a rapper…simply write your own rhymes as much as you can if you are able. Here’s the message in full, ghastly pic included: … At the end of the day, for better or worse, rap is alive even if some of its greatest moments are written by ghosts.” Lupe goes on to muse about the present state of rap and hip-hop as a whole: “ Meek Mill struck a nerve accusing Drake of having a ghostwriter and the entire rap world reacted on all sides of the fence because rap is alive. “It is nothing to go crazy over or be offended about unless you are someone who postures him or herself on the importance of authenticity and tries to portray that quality to your fans or the public at large.”Įven though it’s addressed to rappers, there’s something here for everyone. “ Ghostwriting, or borrowing lines, or taking suggestions from the room has always been in rap and will always be in rap,” he writes. One: What’s the deal with ghostwriting, anyway? Was it common knowledge Drake had someone? What about people like Kanye? Well, fortunately, Lupe Fiasco is here to reteach Hip-Hop Ghostwriting 101 with a lesson plan titled “The Haunting.” In two lengthy Instagram posts, he pens an open letter (with a cool picture of a Charlie Brown ghost) to rappers everywhere, hoping to clear up any confusion or misdirected frustration. When Meek Mill called out Drake on Twitter for not writing his own raps, jaws hit the floor, supporters and detractors rallied, and … questions arose.

In Taylor’s case, all of this finds itself expressed through his band’s charismatic folk-inflected heartland rock – with plenty of Americana and roots influences shining along the way – and deeply relatable lyrics of small town living, existential crisis having, wandering and wondering, pondering and blustering. While it was by no means inspired directly by the pandemic, Hiss Golden Messenger certainly captures the spirit of these isolated times of solitude and space, where so many have reconnected with themselves and found new ways to soldier onward. Quietly Blowing It represents a re-centering of sorts. And I got the time required in order to do that… I got way more time than I needed, actually!” Maybe I had the presence of mind when I was writing Quietly Blowing It to know that this was the time to go as deep as I needed to in order to make a record like this. “It’s not exactly a record about the state of the world - or my world - in 2020, but more a retrospective of the past five years of my life, painted in sort of impressionistic hues. “I went looking for peace,” Taylor shared upon the album’s release earlier this summer. Swallow the sun, practice resurrection Take the blame, learn the lesson Say you’re sorry, love ain’t a weapon Pay your debts, don’t love in vain Bells on the river, flags of many colors All this asking, what do you love? Ain’t the truth just dying to cut you? But when it’s right, it’s worth the pain Gimme just a little Gimme, Gimme We don’t understand it Nobody understands it Until it falls like rain Same old, day old Radical changes Buddy, don’t you know me? – “ The Great Mystifier,” Hiss Golden Messenger It’s a strikingly cohesive forty-minute escape, and while its eleven songs may fluctuate in style and scope, the journey Taylor and his bandmates flesh out from “Way Back in the Way Back” to “Sanctuary” is one of redemption, actualization, and ultimately, understanding. Reminiscent of Iron & Wine’s Beast Epic and Gregory Alan Isakov’s Evening Machines – and even The Killers’ most recent LP, Pressure Machine – Quietly Blowing It manages to feel vast and sweeping, small and focused all at once: Both from a lyrical perspective, as from a musical one. Hiss Golden Messenger © Chris Frisina Through all that muck, Hiss Golden Messenger emerges triumphantly with a record of daily living within and amongst these greater faulty, flawed and failing constructs. them mentality, an endless war on foreign soil, and so on. His songs speak to moments of self-discovery and searching of finding inner strength through moments of personal doubt, and more – all within the context of life in 20: A fragile, worn and weary American psyche embittered by years of divisive rhetoric, an us vs. Taylor approaches the latest Hiss Golden Messenger LP with understated grace and remarkable passion.

Quietly Blowing It – Hiss Golden Messenger You can call me the wheel All I wanna do is roll it From Tucson to Tulsa This long-distance love, babe- What a lonely thing to call it Don’t be afraid We’ll be fine in the morning Food on the table A body that’s able We’ll be fine in the morning Up with the mountains Down with the system That keeps us in chains Hearing our whispering Baby blue sky Building a prison Way back in the way back – “ Way Back in the Way Back,” Hiss Golden Messenger Built off inner turbulence, external turmoil, and our shared search for balance amid loss, fracture, and change, Quietly Blowing It is an intimate and nuanced soundtrack to getting by. It’s an introspective, resilient record of renewal and perseverance of both individual and societal upheaval of making our way through each day with our own burdens, carrying not only the ghosts of the past, but also the weight of the world on our shoulders.

If you’ve had your fill of the fast-backed Ford, then why not consider the Opel? It’s the superior, classier ‘Capri’ in many ways and a lot more exclusive. Parent company General Motors loved the car even more and, by the mid 1970s, had re-badged it in the UK as a Vauxhall. Us Brits rather took to the car almost as well, despite its high pricing, thanks to the import duties which were in force back then. Launched just after the Ford, the sporty Opel stayed in production the same length of time too, and was hugely popular in its native Germany. We’re not sure if the word Manta is actually German for ‘Capri’ but in automotive terms it certainly was during the 1970s and 80s. Manta B stuff is far more widespread although a lot of it will be GT/E – depends if you’re a stickler for originality.Īlan Anderson reveals why he’s so hooked on opel’s manta – the classier, more sophisticated capri Where you will come unstuck is trim and detailing, especially for Manta A. Parts supply is good (Lotus used the front suspension for its Esprit) and there’s a fair amount of interchange-ability possible. The rest of the running gear is strong so just check the usual.Parts supply isn’t too bad as the engine also served in the later Vauxhall Carltons and the Frontera of the 1990s. The unusual cam-in-head engine is quite robust although can sound tappety at high miles (it’s not a particularly smooth unit).The B is better served, not least because the majority of panels (apart from the front snout) were also shared with the Cavalier. Replacement panels aren’t easy to come by for the Manta A, so you need to do some searching.The front valance is another vulnerable area. Cosmetically the tops of the front wings are a favourite, as are the rear wheel arches, boot lid etc.That said most now will be riddled with body rot in all the usual places and this includes inner wings, chassis legs, floors and so on.
