Anytime. Get second opinions of course; /r/vinyl and /r/audiophile are good places to start. Lots of old threads with valuable information.

Also shout out to MoFi inner sleeves.

Here. It works pretty well. I had to bend mine a little so it wouldn't wobble.

These? Hopefully I can find them in store as Canada Post is about to go on strike..

They directly reference the Book of Five Rings -- Two Heavens is more or less an ode to it ("got five rings on my hand")

Buy one of these. It's pretty decent for the entry price. Put on your headphones to listen to the beat, record your vocals separately from the music, overlay vocals on top.

No need to be a dick man- No one commented on your song because the quality isn't there. Don't spit venom at the dude trying to give you advice.

It's a really tough question to answer for a non-American. I encourage you to keep your non-American heritage in mind when trying to understand why the word is off limits and why it's not actually creating more racism.

Depending on how you like to learn/understand things, here is a variety of resources for you:

CNN talk with Marc Lamont Hill, I couldn't find the video in full on its own, so you can feel free to ignore the bias of the youtube speaker. Interview is from :40 to 6:10

Takeway quote from the above video: "I might see Trinidad James on the street and call him ‘my nigga.’ You know why? Because he is my nigga. And the difference between Trinidad James and you, is that Trinidad James has to deal with the same oppressive situations. He was born into a world where anti-black racism prevails. He lives in a world where police might shoot him on the street no matter how much money he has. We share a collective condition known as ‘nigga.’ White people don’t.”

Q&A with Ta-Nahisi Coates, 4:58

Takeway quote from the above video: “I had a good friend who had a cabin in upstate New York, which he referred to as the ‘white trash cabin,’” Coates continued. “He was white. I would never refer to that cabin, tell him ‘I’m coming to your white trash cabin’ ― and I think you understand why.”

“The question one must ask is why so many white people have difficulty extending things that are basic laws of how human beings interact to black people,” he added. “And I think I know why.”

"When you're white in this country, you are taught that everything belongs to you"..."so here comes this word, that you feel like you invented, and now somebody is going to tell you how to use that word that you invented. You know, 'why can't I use it? Everyone else gets to use it? You know what that's racist that I can't use it!'"
