My life advice would be whatever it is, start now, I should've done this 20 years. Also think about how you're going to intersect with the institutional world as that's where the cash is, and I'm locked out of that for now.
I'm a therapist and I love it. Best, most rewarding work I've ever done. Downside is not quite enough clients rn. HMU if you want to explore therapy (not remotely a joke).
Anyone who's not seen this, you need to watch. I particularly like the total forced Marxist class links that are shoehorned in briefly then totally ignored.
I once started talking to a young guy at Capitol Soul who was an up and coming Northern DJ and I mentioned I liked rap and he looked at me as if I'd shared an enthusiasm for padeophilia.
I think it's best experienced "live" i.e. at a Northern night to get the vibe. The aesthetics of the music are fairly boring and conservative tbh, though there are plenty of tunes I love.
This Vybez is hard as well if you're looking for inspirational dancehall influenced flexing
Psalm 91 is kinda the ultimate protective psalm - it's used in Hoodoo and I imagine in Afro-Caribbean magic as well.
It's weird when you realise how many bangers he's done.
I can't say I have deep knowledge of Atlanta rap in the 2010s but he seems such an essential part of the story, and also part of Thug's rise and fall.
I kinda think the whole premise of the question is wrong tbh. "Techniques" to avoid this absolutely insidious, often-essential part of lives now, that there's no escaping from. A technique seems weak sauce against it tbh.
The people I met who were into them were all nerds, I met them a few years later via message boards. Interesting that they just escaped the Internet as well. The last gasp of lack of surveillance.
