MC Money & Gangsta Gold - Glock Tight Smoked Out

today I slipped down the MEMPHIS RAP SIGILS iceberg

I once fired off 49 rounds from a glock 9mm, didn't hit the target once, handed the pistol with the last bullet to my brother and he was "I dunno I'm not into guns" but then he popped off and landed a shot straight to the dome, dead centre, between the eyes

^ me failing to hit a target with a glock 9 mil

that was in the USA, I tried to appeal to the range staff's better nature by saying "I'm from the UK, they don't let us have guns" but I didn't elicit sympathy and I wasn't allowed anywhere near the machine guns

my mate tells me I need to spend more time in Estonia, they have package deals where 50 quid at the firing range gets you 7 different firearms and some of the 'semi-automatics' may have a dodgy mechanism which has worn out so you can just spray lead

edit: on the other hand, one of the gay guys at work told me that Estonia is rubbish, their "dating apps" are shit, all the faces are pixellated out, he couldn't detect hot dudes, but they are really into saunas if that is what you are into

You can YouTube anything I’m going to tell you. The Glock (26) 9mm is my personal weapon. It’s known colloquially in the biz as tactical Tupperware (idk if they call it that in the UK but just means heavy rubberized reusable food storage) there are far better weapons for easier accuracy. Glocks are boxy but need little maintenance and you can drag them through mud/water and they’ll still perform.
Beyond the obvious: proper grip, stance, sighting, there is a technique called staging the trigger. In other words: putting the most pressure on the trigger without it discharging, then breathe out, and squeeze. It takes hundreds of rounds to get your bearings.
Be careful in the 2nd world gun clubs.
The bolt will explode right back into your face. 🤙

I was puzzled by the lack of "safety"

but I got over that

I loved the feel of pressing brass into the mag

and the snap when pulling back

edit: shame I couldn't hit shit though

check the ever expanding dub zone thread - they all ignored me when I posted this


Ndagga Rhythm Force - Dieuw Bakhul

one of the latest tunes from Mark Ernestus's repurposing of Sengalese Mbalax / Sabar drumming - he's fired half the band and reduced the "Rhythm Force" to his prophet 5, a couple of percussionists, vocals, and a mixing desk



edit: probably in my top 10 albums of 2025 btw

this weird kind of thing is doing it for me on a nonstop pissing down nyc saturday morning. if you're in the right mood you can't go wrong with slow organ drones. they slow you down. do something to time. calm the blood to a crawl. those drawn out resonant bass notes. it was a bit like that when i saw kali malone, there's a tension to it, waiting for the note to change

i love mbalax + really appreciate that mark ernestus finds it inspiring, but sadly, i'm somewhat underwhelmed
by his take on the style.

as i've said before, it remains strange to me that mbalax hasn't found an audience outside of west africa in the way that, say, amapiano or singeli or shangaan electro have. it's fast + banging + its wild vocals, psychedelic guitars, and so forth make it seem like something junglists, idm dorks, + footwork enthusiasts would rush to embrace, though i've never encountered a single non-senegalese person who's been into it :(

this idm/footwork/mbalax fusion album by senegalese legend ibaaku is a marvelous thing to smoke weed while watching rain to :



rap mbalax also has its moments :
