Drill music often contains details of actual violent crimes, which are often captured on CCTV and dash cams leading to conviction and imprisonment of drill rappers.
In the UK, drill music posted on YouTube is often self censored, as the police will request videos be removed that are considered to be inflaming gang tensions.
I’d also like to point out, in the setting of some Assassin’s Creed games, the entire plot is driven on avoiding catastrophies, hence the protagonist(s) have to tap into memories of ancestors to guide them activate hidden, pre-existing mechanisms on Earth build to save humanity and the First Civilization from extinction.

@ewallace26 One part of being a Moderator is to provide feedback to new users to help them improve their ability to construct effective, acceptable annotations. As you can see elsewhere on this song and album, many of those new users prefer downvoting to learning. But that comes with the territory.

@MeltingPlastic This is a bit too easy, and falls into generic platitude, telling me literally what the lines says. There is no new insight, and you restate the line directly at the end.
What is significant or meaningful about the simile that makes up this line (the “like”)? If we think formally about this as a simile, how does the source (“a camera feed”), which is what we know, modify the target (“capture catastrophes”), which we don’t know? This is the purpose of similes (and metaphors as well), to use pieces of language we understand to open new insights and possibilities into pieces of language that we don’t. For example, why is “capture” used to modify “castrophes”? Besides the usage of the C sound to build alliteration, how does “capture” relate to photography, how or what does it say about the collection of images that photography represents, and just because something is captured, is it understood? Answering these questions and better unpacking Lupe’s implied commentary on our relationship to catastrophes–we’d rather watch voyueristically with little to no understanding of them or any attempt on our part to ask how and why these may be happening.
