Lil Baby Looks at “The Bigger Picture” on New Protest Song: Stream

The post Lil Baby Looks at "The Bigger Picture" on New Protest Song: Stream appeared first on Consequence of Sound.

Lil Baby has released a new protest song called "The Bigger Picture". The powerful offering is in response to the senseless murder of unarmed Black man George Floyd, who died while in Minneapolis police custody.

Today's track begins with a news voiceover referencing Floyd and police brutality. The Atlanta rapper, who has been participating in local protests, then captures the spotlight with lines recounting the Black experience in America. "They killing us for no reason/ Been going on for too long to get even," raps Lil Baby, later adding, "Throw us in cages like dogs and hyenas… That shit be crazy, they supposed to protect us."

Despite the bleak plight of race relations in this country, the MC implores his listeners to stay strong and demand drastic change — even if it has to happen incrementally. "It's bigger than Black and White/ It's a problem with the whole way of life," Lil Baby raps on the chorus. "It can't change overnight/ But we gotta start some where/ Might as well go 'head, start here."

Stream "The Bigger Picture" in full below. According to a statement, all proceeds from the track will "support the movement."

A Brief History of the Codpiece the Personal Protection for Renaissance Equipment

Early in the eighteenth century, visitors to the Tower of London could gaze upon a painted wooden statue of Henry VIII, the English king who'd died some two hundred years before. Royally robed, sceptre in hand, the likeness befitted Henry's reputation for extravagance, right down to its lascivious secret mechanism: "If you press a spot on the floor with your feet," one observer wrote, "you will see something surprising with regard to this figure, but I will not say more." I will: it was the king's codpiece, sallying forth in full regalia. Henry VIII remains the poster boy for codpieces, those profane protuberances that drew eyes crotchward in the sixteenth century. A suit of the king's armor, boasting a bulbous codpiece weighing more than two and a half pounds, is still on display at the Tower; women used to stick pins in its sumptuous red-velvet lining to ward off barrenness. And who could blame them? Sure, Henry sired notoriously few healthy childr

Breaking News By Wire Services | March 19, 2020 at 10:44 a.m. By Mark Price | Charlotte Observer Add condoms to the list of things that might be harder to find as more Americans shelter in place amid the coronavirus outbreak. There may even be a "coronavirus baby boom," some experts say, proving not everyone is practicing social distancing. Hints of heightened interest in condoms first emerged last month in China, where the virus was first reported. Condomsales.com reported March 3 that stores were seeing "shortages in Singapore and Hong Kong." The e-commerce platform Pinduoduo noted quarantine measures in China fueled a jump in sales of condoms and hair clippers, according to abacusnews.com.
