baphomet is a symbol of the duality of man. aleister crowley/thelema are actually very interesting topics to read about. obviously fixating on the dark aspects of life is never good for anyone who is already known to be sick.. but in general, there's nothing wrong with studying the occult. the only people who are going to have that "you better watch out" attitude are people already completely blinded by their own dogmatic belief systems
Just for the record my belief is that Steez had some personal stuff he was dealing with and something set him over the edge, I was reading that some fans think that his death is fake (not buying that) and that Steez actually had an account on Twitter called RIP Capital Steez at some stage, so he might have been wanting to do this for sometime?

I was actually listening to the new Pro Era mixtape and checking out their website the night he died...and remember thinking that same thing, :naswtf: I was just listening to the dude last night.

Ackbar you don't need to be mentally unstable to be depressed broham, surely you know that?

Technically, depression is a mental instability, whether temporary or not.

I finally gave the new PRO ERA Mixtape Album a full listen from start to finsh and did so TWO times in a row while I was out & about driving around earlier and it's a damn good album!! Easily one of the years best. There was only 1 song that I didn't like which is #16 "Bun N Cheese" cuz the beat is WACK!! I don't like them kinda beats... sounds similar to that lame southern bullshit. But yeah, great fuckin album!! Statik Selektah has the best beats on it, but all the other beats except the one I mentioned are dope too. Listen to the verse that Capital STEEZ spits on #2 "Run or Fly" cuz it seems to shed a little insight on his suicide. And like someone else said, everyone on this album can spit! It's all about The Outdoorsmen and Pro Era. Fuck them Black Hippies cuz their music is mostly wack.

Is there anything that a major label could offer to get you to sign now?
Three million. Off the top.

If I gave you $3 million right now, you'd sign to my record label?
Hell yeah. Get my Mom out the hood. You feel me?

I'm an avowed Joey hater and have parlayed on the subject with many other Joey haters but I've never heard this angle before, it seems like a byproduct of Mero spending too much time at the Noisey office surrounded by people who write long blog posts about Metro Zu.

Much better than Mario Karta Lonely Snail. That song about Capital Steez made me shed a thug tear.
