Two paragraphs screencapped from the Wikipedia article for Onyx's second album, as follows: Lyrics All We Got Iz Us this name was chosen because it is much more grimy than Bacdafucup. It is widely considered to be a great follow up to their debut Bacdafucup with many fans actually citing it as Onyx's best album. Turning away from the more humorous approach of their debut, All We Got Iz Us had an overall darker and more serious tone, dealing with subjects such as suicide, heavy substance abuse and racism. For example, the intro/opening track features a split-personality monologue: Sticky Fingaz threatening himself at gunpoint, eventually committing suicide. Album cover For the cover of the album All We Got Iz Us, Sticky and Fredro just wanted to paint a cracked mad face. Probably, it was a bad idea, because it was the beginning, when the sales of Onyx albums started to "crack". The cover for All We Got Iz Us was a 6-inch metal plate, and the photographer just took a picture of this plate, and the mad face that you see on the back cover of the album Shut 'Em Down was a real lump of metal.

Wikipedia screencap of the opening paragraph of the album's article. The second and third word here emphasised by me... Aja (pronounced "Asia") is the sixth studio album by the American rock band Steely Dan, released on September 23, 1977, by ABC Records. For the album, band leaders Walter Becker and Donald Fagen pushed Steely Dan further into experimenting with different combinations of session players, enlisting the services of nearly 40 musicians, while pursuing longer, more sophisticated compositions and arrangements. Like all the band's previous albums, it was produced by Gary Katz.
Top paragraph of the linked Wikipedia article for The Byrds' Hickory Wind. Hickory Wind is a song written by country rock artist Gram Parsons and former International Submarine Band member Bob Buchanan. The song was written on a train ride the pair took from Florida to Los Angeles in early 1968, and first appeared on The Byrds' Sweetheart of the Rodeo album. Despite Buchanan's input, "Hickory Wind" is generally considered to be Parsons' signature song. Parsons' decision to play "Hickory Wind" instead of the planned Merle Haggard cover "Life in Prison" during The Byrds' performance at the Grand Ole Opry on March 15, 1968 "pissed off the country music establishment" and stunned Opry regulars to such an extent that the song is now considered essential to Parsons' legend.

Screenshot of the beginning paragraph of the Wikipedia article on the Don't Go to Sleep EP by Daz Dillinger and the then-deceased Tupac Shakur, which reads as follows: Don't Go 2 Sleep is a compilation EP by American rappers Makaveli and Daz Dillinger. It has eight tracks. There are two other (bootleg) versions of the EP, but the original has only eight tracks. It was released December 24, 2001, on D.P.G. Recordz. The tracks were recorded at Death Row Records between 1995–96 for Tupac's and Boot Camp Clik's project "One Nation". Later when Daz left Death Row, he stole an unknown amount of Tupac's unreleased masters, some of which can be heard on this EP. The only track left untouched by Daz is "They Don't Give a Fuck About Us", all other tracks were remixed and Daz also added himself onto tracks he originally didn't appear on, despite Dillinger marketing the EP as an original collaboration album.

Wikipedia intro paragraph, which says as follows: Shawn Thomas (born January 14, 1972), better known by his stage name C-Bo, is an American rapper from Sacramento, California. Known for his extensive legal troubles, he was the first notable rapper to be jailed due to his lyrical content in 1998. His 1995 song, "Deadly Game" (with X-Raided) earned this distinction, as its lyrics were a scathing critique of political officials, including governor Pete Wilson, and California's Prop. 184 three-strikes law. He ineffectively argued for appeal three times.

[@NEEMOAHTOAD, quote tweeting a post about material from a Backyardigans pilot being found:] You guys ever think about how 75% of films from the silent era have been lost to time and the only “lost media” the internet ever seems to recover are shit related to baby shows or like TV bumpers that were only lost cuz nobody gave a shit about them [Me, quote tweeting that on my account @YetChannel, 1 of 3:] People in online archival communities only look for slop..." type takes are such an only reading the headline understanding of the scene. Consensus-important stuff has a low chance of becoming available to hobbyists by process of attrition, because of what lives in the category. [2 of 3:] If something's gonna turn up by asking around enough, you need to have living people to ask, multiple hands that the wanted work passed through, and inexpensive replication. For something to slip through the cracks enough to be searched for is the other half of the Venn diagram. [3 of 3:] Anything that fails to hit that second circle is just a broadly wanted item, not specifically an internet community, however dedicated and online the people looking for it actually are. Weird that this is the grudge people have, when those hobby communities have *actual* drama.
Screencap of my Bluesky profile, as I see it. There's a button that says '1 label has been placed on this account'. Clicking it brings you to the pronouns box I find sorta handy to attach to my bio, though I wonder why a third party had to implement it. But that feature I brought on has an 'appeal' button—implying I could be subject to comparatively unflattering labels that I didn't choose for my account in future.

(Parenting is a theme on the album sometimed, but to be clear I'm talking about the writing process.)
Screencap of the linked Wikipedia article, the part of note being the following sentence: The film is one of a series of twelve "visual symphonies" set to classical music by Murphy [citing references 3-5], and was advertised as the first dance film to be synchronized with a sound score [reference 5 again].
Screencap of the following paragraph, from the linked article: In a 2018 interview with Vulture, Joel expressed disappointment that the album did not yield any hit singles beyond the title track. He further attributed his decision to stop releasing pop albums to the lack of airplay. "The thing was, I put a lot of work into River of Dreams and it was as if the business had left me behind because there are substantial songs on that album that never went anywhere. So I said, 'What's the point of putting myself through writing and recording if it doesn't mean what it's supposed to mean out there in the world?'"
