The project, called Warmest Winter, comes from a recent partnership between the rapper and Detroit nonprofit the Empowerment Plan. The initiative aims to bring
the coats to Chicago by asking donors to help support the manufacturing
of the coats. Each coat costs $100 to “sponsor.” The incredible progress they’ve already made will warm your heart.
LOL at all the people comparing this to ‘80s / ‘90s anime openings. My dad, who grew up Orthodox Jewish, flipped his shit when he heard the battle theme for Final Fantasy VI because it resembled Hasidic music. What is even going on, Japan?
Well this is kind of a revelation. This missing half of the equation.
Prog Rock + Hasidic tunes = 90s JRPG battle music.
OK but this post led me down a rabbit hole and I learned Hasidic music is really popular in Japan so I doubt any similarities to game / anime music is a coincidence. Holy shit u guys.
