[Busta Rhymes] Good morning, honey
Ah! Awww! Ahhh! Ahhhhh!
Ahhhhhhhhhh!
[Nikki D] What's wrong?
[Busta Rhymes] Help, help, help, help!
[Nikki D] Honey, what's wrong?
[Busta Rhymes] You looked chopped
It's shop time, in line, hurry on the quickness
Couch gorillas, you all need fitness
Word up, word up, kick out the dead presidents
All nightmares and Elm Street residents
Come on down, there's nothin wrong with that
But when Booga Bears do it - it's wack
In fact, I was in the shop the other day
Girls, hear me out, okay?
Reading Essence magazines
The latest fashions, adults and teens
Walkman kicks with the Jam that's Def
I see a female with a mask as I glance to the left
Slide to get my nails done
A manicure for sure - huh, can ya dig it, hon?
Suddenly the girl's mask came down
Grill piece looks ill, skips town
Pieces of skin were here, there, everywhere
A horror flick and scare
Why do so much when it shouldn't be done?
There's someone for everyone
No, you had to go overboard
Lipstick, but lips got cold sores
Next time you need a fix-up, don't mix up the chop shop
Honey, you need the beauty shop
Your face looks chopped
(You need the beauty shop)
Your face looks chopped
(You need the beauty shop)
Your face looks chopped
(You need the beauty shop)
(The beauty shop
You need the beauty shop)
Now fish lip with lipstick don't match
Caked up make-up makes up the monster mash
Splash bubble bath, don't laugh
Not the natural look, but the truth rises to the top
Chop into the beauty shop flock, don't drop
Look in deep skin, then stop
If you see no wins, don't spend your ends
On those millions of hundreds, or even tens
Of pairs of pieces of horse hairs, tear upon
Ashes of trashes of where they shared food
Don't be rude, let self rule
Who'll be cool in the midst of confused
With this on the mind at the end of the mop
Clean it up please, at the beauty shop
Your face looks chopped
(You need the beauty shop)
Your face looks chopped

Build up a structure, imagine a fixture
Skip a paragraph, then develop a picture
Oo-wee, che-check out the brand new mixture
Artificial everything, sorry, Mister
How could you do your generical set-up?
And look faked up walkin the street lookin chopped up
Material's a thing you choose to get to strike a pose
Get cosmetic ears and get a cosmetic nose
No Siree, because you look wack, buddy
If looks were makin paper, you would be broke and ugly
Berries are suckin, yo, I wish you good luck
Walkin up the street and still your face looks fucked
Ain't no misbehavin, get outta here
You look like a ghost, alakazam, disappear
Go on, keep thinkin you're the cream of the crop
But what you need to be is cremated by the beauty shop
(The shop, the shop, the shop, the shop)
Your face looks chopped

The song 'Shop' by T.S.D. featuring Nikki D and Busta Rhymes is a social commentary on the obsession with cosmetic enhancements and the imperative to look young and 'perfect'. The song condemns the plastic surgery and other enhancements that people undergo to keep up with the societal beauty standards. The song starts with Busta Rhymes who seems to be in pain and urges Nikki D to help him. However, it turns out he is simply in anguish due to women around him who have subjected themselves to self-mutilation in the name of beauty. The lyrics highlight the dangers of cosmetic treatments and how they can leave a person looking 'chopped' or disfigured. The song conveys the message that people should not feel pressured to conform to societal standards of beauty and should embrace their natural self.
In the song, the artists use various examples to illustrate the consequences of excessive grooming for cosmetic purposes. They criticize the superficiality of cosmetic enhancements and stress the importance of self-acceptance. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes the phrase "you need the beauty shop", which is essentially a way of saying that people don't need to subject themselves to painful treatments to be beautiful.

Hey Matt,
I have a question that has been bothering me recently. I have many friends that want to play with me and given what they play I think the'd have a lot of fun managing the systems of the Tomcat, looking down the sights of the hind or just firing away as a huey door gunner.
Has Eagle Dynamics ever considered delivering a "passenger" version of a dlc at a reduced price for people that simply want to join their friends and have no desire to command an aircraft?
If you have I'd be very interested in your thoughts and if you have not I'd be more than happy for you to at least consider this option.
Thanks for all you do at ED and keep the wonderful work going!

Outstanding! I'm so excited for this module. Some of my forum comments in the past, when this module was just a distant dream:
Posted May 26, 2015
If ED ever makes a PFM/ASM of the AH-64D, I'll have to dig a slit trench in my office and buy a two year supply of beefaroni.. only to find next time I take a break that my wife has moved out and my dog is bonding with the neighbors.
Posted July 7, 2015
AH-64.. I'd gnaw on my monitor and whine like a mutt.
Posted February 20, 2018
Me if DCS:AH-64 ever happens: "I don't remember what day I lost my job, my house, my cars, or my wife. I don't even know if today is shower day. I can tell you the launch date of DCS: AH-64 Apache though. Ahh what a glorious day! Hey, does someone on your news crew have a sandwich or something? Yeah ok, I'll take off my VR goggles for a sandwich."
Posted January 24, 2018
..I think my vote would go to the AH-64 instead of the KA-52. The notion does put a fear in me though. I will, very likely, lose my job and my marriage if ED puts out an Apache module.

@Russell Johnson Normally I agree that you should be careful with preordering anything. However, ED has proven to me more than enough times that they deliver excellent modules.
Sure, the releases may have issues in the beginning (like all software), but they always become amazing over time. I'm never worried that they'll stop patching a module before it's done to the same high level as the others.
The F-16s release is a dead horse that has been beaten enough. If you look at the Mosquito or Hind, they were in a much better state at initial release. And regardless, the F-16 module is becoming better and more complete all the time, so the release issues are nothing but a bad memory now.
I think they've done more than enough to redeem themselves. At least they've done so in my eyes.
I expect the AH-64 to have issues in the beginning, and there will certainly be some features that are yet to be implemented. But overall, I am not worried about the quality. Especially down the line once it has been thoroughly tested by all of us and patched.

Ok, this system makes the ABRIS look like Nintendo. Can't wait for the next video's and dive in deep!
Your instruction is still second to none, Wags. Thank you.

I would love to have my Girlfriend come along for a "ride" but currently it just is not worth the price and trying to teach her a whole aircraft even such as the FC3 Modules seems too daunting a task for her.
SinePilot
Good idea. I think they should make the module free for the passenger, but simply make the cockpit non-functional, view controls only. Take people for a free ride along just to see the view. Good way to sell modules. Also, modules take up barely any HD space, it's the maps that take up all the space, so passenger won't need a big download as long as they've already got the same map.

Stop thanking Nick Grey, he's messing with you all

@Zoe Summers he’s a troll not an employee
Juhuja
@Dion Smith I don't think it would be that confusing. It simply has to be clearly labled that one is just a part of the other dlc. Also I believe you underestimate the potential this has. Almost everyone that plays DCS will have a friend that would enjoy being part of the stuff we do. And for a reasonable price they may get hooked. And then you sell a lot of these "passenger"-dlcs. Thats a win-win in my book.

Finally had some time to watch this. Very impressed, and intimidated, by the detail, and the layers to the various systems, even if they're not all fully implemented. Study sim' for sure...

I’ve just spent the morning studying for chemistry finals, and then thought, “Let me relax and watch a new Wags video.” It turns out the Apache is both more stressful and complicated than chemistry.
