Friends of mine who know me well from this blogging hustle will probably be shocked as sh-t to see this post but I felt like I needed to speak on this album. First, some background:
I’ve actually known Rollie Pemberton aka Cadence Weapon, at least virtually, for a good few years from the early days of the hip hop blogging scene when he was doing his own blog (which may have been called Cadence Weapon too maybe [update: nope, was actually called Razorblade Runner and was still on my old blgoroll], writing hip-hop reviews for Pitchfork and just starting to do remixes. In fact, I might still have a CD of his early remixes he mailed to my old Brooklyn PO Box for the blog somewhere in my parents’ house. Will have to go look for it some time.
But while I’m a fan of his writing (even if I didn’t always agree with his reviews), I’m not so much of that writing when it’s shared via his music as a rapper. One of the great mysteries of modern music to me is why cats dig this dude so much? I’m sure many of you are aware that, as eclectic as I can be on this site (it’s been a long minute since you could credibly call The Kitchen a straight hip hop blog), I can be pretty dismissive of much so-called underground and alternative hip hop that gets online nerds moist. My dislike of Cadence Weapon’s music goes deeper than that though: partially I think it’s a function of just how much people seem to like him. I’ve heard him called the MC with best flow in Canada (!) and compared to sundry acclaimed MC’s as varied as Nas, Rakim, Guru and even MF Doom (!) which is beyond bewildering to me when my feelings on his music alternate between ‘Rollie’s a crushingly average MC’ and me thinking he’s borderline incompetent and questioning whether he actually knows how to rap. It just depends on the time of the day, mood I’m in or which of his songs I’m listening to at the time where I fall on the scale between those two extremes. Very rarely, if at all, have I felt anything more positive than that for his music.
So if you’re out there and read this blog and happen to be part of the CW fan club, drop a comment and help me understand what I’m missing here because, even though I’ve now had a few in depth and heated discussions with people who dig him on his appeal to them, I’ve yet to reach a point where I understand it, but I’m open to hearing more opinions on the matter. And for those of you not familiar with Cadence Weapon (that’d be most of you who don’t learn about your hip hop via decidedly non-hip hop media outlets), take a listen to his latest album, Hope in Dirt City too and drop a comment as to whether you agree with me, love the album and think I’m an idiot or fall somewhere in between.

Posted by the flat belly fix | October 18, 2018, 6:25 am它讓神經原在常規的緊張鍛煉中進行共振燃燒，由此帶來健身運動所無法達到的效果。Ion Magnum複雜的振動波是基于於二十多年對神經原燃燒信號的研究手工製作的。 設備製造者的臨床研究結果顯示，30分鐘的治療相當於在健身房10個小時的運動，可以燃燒高達5000卡路里的熱量。其他臨床研究顯示肌肉生成的速度以及脂肪（表面脂肪以及深部脂肪）减少的速度相應都比運動的效果更好。對於Ion Magnum沒有進行理療的部位，甚至會有抗衰老防氧化的效果。 有受試者治療一次之後同一個部位减掉了3-4英寸（不像其他减肥治療中宣稱的那樣，一次治療减掉了5英寸，但那是全身20多個部位加起來减掉的尺寸）。同時，它還可以减掉脖子和下巴的脂肪，讓你的雙下巴消失 . 每次治療需要25分鐘。治療前後的效果非常明顯，而且會持續1-2天。要想達到更好的效果，最好接受1-2個小時的治療。
