Hayat hep böyle gitmeyecek. Düşeceğim, kalkacağım, iyileşmez dediğim yaralar, alışamam dediğim acılarla tanışacağım. Belki kendimi bulacak ve bulduğumun yüz misli kaybedeceğim. Belki aşık olacak belki tüm sevgimi aynadaki yansımama vereceğim. Güleceğim, ağlayacağım, belki çok canım yanacak, belki kazanacak ve çok defa kaybedeceğim. Hayat bu. İstediğini vermiyor her zaman insanın. Son günlerde aklım karışıyor lakin kendimi bulmaya bir adım daha yaklaşıyorum sanki. Çabalarımın içinde kayboluyorum, saatleri takip edemiyor bundan da keyif alıyorum. Günler mi geçmiş haftalar mı yoksa aylar mı? Ne önemi var. Şimdi var etmem gereken bir gelecek var karşımda. Olmayacakmış, başaramayacakmışım. Kimin umrunda? Denemezsem de olmayacak. Kendime sürekli bunu hatırlatıyorum. Belki korkuyorum lakin son günlerde daha çok korkularımın üstüne gitmeyi seçiyorum. Bıkmışım artık korkularımın her birinden. Ben bir ömür böyle yaşamak istemiyorum. Anlıyor musun? Belki bir dönemeç belki bir süreliğine gelen bir ilham gibi düşünebilirsin bunu. Adına ne dediğimiz inan hiç mühim değil. İşte şimdi yalnızca şu an. Öyle yani, sadece öyle. Hayat devam ediyor. On yedim yaklaşıyor. Korkuyorum aslında. Küçükken en çok on yedimi merak ederdim ve şimdi iyi geçiremeyeceğim diye ödüm kopuyor bir yandan. Lakim mühim değil. Dedim ya artık üstüne gidiyorum korkularımın. Dolu dolu yaşamak istiyorum hayatımı. Yani. Kalmasın istiyorum pişmanlığım. Dönüp baktığımda elimden gelenin en iyisini yapmışım demeliyim. Mutlu olmalıyım. Gülmeliyim. Kabullenmeliyim. Üzülmenin de kaybetmenin de doğal olduğunu hatırlatmalıyım kendime. Lakin yine de çok çabalamalıyım kaybetmemek için. Çünkü öyle işte. İçimden öyle geliyor. Şimdi düşünüyorum da, gelecek hayal ettiğim gibi olabilir sanki diyorum. Bir belirsizlikle beraber. Olsun, hep böyleyim zaten ben. Şimdi, yalnızca şu an.

Look, I was gonna go easy on you and not to hurt your feelings

But I'm only going to get this one chance (six minutes, six minutes)

Something's wrong, I can feel it (six minutes, six minutes, Slim Shady, you're on)

Just a feeling I've got, like something's about to happen, but I don't know what

If that means what I think it means, we're in trouble, big trouble

And if he is as bananas as you say, I'm not taking any chances

You are just what the doctor ordered

I'm beginning to feel like a Rap God, Rap God

All my people from the front to the back nod, back nod

Now who thinks their arms are long enough to slap box, slap box?

They said I rap like a robot, so call me Rapbot

But for me to rap like a computer must be in my genes

I got a laptop in my back pocket

My pen'll go off when I half-cock it

Got a fat knot from that rap profit

Made a livin' and a killin' off it

Ever since Bill Clinton was still in office

With Monica Lewinsky feelin' on his nutsack

I'm an MC still as honest

But as rude and indecent as all hell syllables, killaholic (kill 'em all with)

This flippity dippity-hippity hip-hop

You don't really wanna get into a pissing match with this rappidy brat

Packin' a MAC in the back of the Ac', backpack rap crap, yap-yap, yackity-yack

And at the exact same time, I attempt these lyrical acrobat stunts while I'm practicin' that

I'll still be able to break a motherfuckin' table

Over the back of a couple of faggots and crack it in half

Only realized it was ironic I was signed to Aftermath after the fact

How could I not blow? All I do is drop F-bombs, feel my wrath of attack

Rappers are having a rough time period, here's a Maxipad

It's actually disastrously bad

For the wack, while I'm masterfully constructing this masterpièce

'Cause I'm beginning to feel like a Rap God, Rap God

All my people from the front to the back nod, back nod

Now who thinks their arms are long enough to slap box, slap box?

Let me show you maintaining this shit ain't that hard, that hard

Everybody want the key and the secret to rap immortality like I have got

Well, to be truthful the blueprint's simply rage and youthful exuberance

Everybody loves to root for a nuisance

Hit the Earth like an asteroid, did nothin' but shoot for the moon since (pew)

Mc's get taken to school with this music

'Cause I use it as a vehicle to bus the rhyme

Now I lead a new school full of students

Me? I'm a product of Rakim

Lakim Shabazz, 2Pac, N.W.A, Cube, hey Doc, Ren, Yella, Eazy, thank you, they got Slim

Inspired enough to one day grow up, blow up and be in a position

To meet Run-D.M.C and induct them into the motherfuckin' Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame

Even though I walk in the church and burst in a ball of flames

Only hall of fame I'll be inducted in is the alcohol of fame on the wall of (shame)

You fags think it's all a game 'til I walk a flock of flames

Off a plank and tell me what in the fuck are you thinkin'?

Little gay lookin' boy

So gay I can barely say it with a straight face lookin' boy

You witnessin' a mass-occur

Like you're watchin' a church gathering take place lookin' boy

"Oy vey, that boy's gay", that's all they say, lookin' boy

You get a thumbs up, pat on the back

And a "Way-to-go" from your label every day, lookin' boy

Hey, lookin' boy, what you say, lookin' boy?

I get a "Hell yeah" from Dre, lookin' boy

I'ma work for everything I have

Never asked nobody for shit, get outta my face, lookin' boy

Basically boy, you're never gonna be capable

Of keepin' up with the same pace, lookin' boy

'Cause I'm beginning to feel like a Rap God, Rap God

All my people from the front to the back nod, back nod

The way I'm racin' around the track, call me NASCAR, NASCAR

Dale Earnhardt of the trailer park, the White Trash God

Kneel before General Zod, this planet's Krypton, no Asgard, Asgard

So you be Thor and I'll be Odin, you rodent, I'm omnipotent

Let off then I'm reloadin' immediately with these bombs I'm totin'

And I should not be woken

I'm the walkin' dead, but I'm just a talkin' head, a zombie floatin'

But I got your mom deep-throatin'

I'm out my ramen noodle, we have nothin' in common, poodle

I'm a Doberman, pinch yourself in the arm and pay homage, pupil

It's me, my honesty's brutal

But it's honestly futile if I don't utilize what I do though

For good at least once in a while

So I wanna make sure somewhere in this chicken scratch I scribble and doodle

Enough rhymes to maybe to try to help get some people through tough times

But I gotta keep a few punchlines just in case 'cause even you unsigned

Rappers are hungry lookin' at me like it's lunchtime

I know there was a time where once I

Was king of the underground, but I still rap like I'm on my Pharoahe Monch grind

So I crunch rhymes, but sometimes when you combine

Appeal with the skin color of mine

You get too big, and here they come tryin' to

Censor you like that one line I said on "I'm Back" from the Mathers LP One

When I tried to say, "I'll take seven kids from Columbine

Put 'em all in a line, add an AK-47, a revolver and a nine"

See if I get away with it now that I ain't as big as I was, but I'm

Morphin' into an immortal comin' through the portal

You're stuck in a time warp from 2004 though

And I don't know what the fuck that you rhyme for

You're pointless as Rapunzel with fuckin' cornrows

You write normal? Fuck being normal

And I just bought a new ray-gun from the future

Just to come and shoot ya like when Fabolous made Ray J mad

'Cause Fab said he looked like a fag at Mayweather's pad

Singin' to a man while he played piano

Man, oh man, that was a 24/7 special on the cable channel

So Ray J went straight to the radio station the very next day

"Hey, Fab, I'ma kill you"

Lyrics coming at you at supersonic speed, (JJ Fad)

Uh, sama lama duma lama, you assumin' I'm a human

What I gotta do to get it through to you, I'm superhuman?

Innovative and I'm made of rubber

So that anything you say is ricochetin' off of me and it'll glue to you

I'm devastating, more than ever demonstrating

How to give a motherfuckin' audience a feelin' like it's levitating

Never fading, and I know that the haters are forever waiting

For the day that they can say I fell off, they'll be celebrating

'Cause I know the way to get 'em motivated

I make elevating music, you make elevator music

Oh, he's too mainstream

Well, that's what they do when they get jealous, they confuse it

It's not hip-hop, it's pop, 'cause I found a hella way to fuse it

With rock, shock rap with Doc

Throw on Lose Yourself and make 'em lose it

I don't know how to make songs like that

I don't know what words to use

Let me know when it occurs to you

While I'm rippin' any one of these verses diverse as you

It's curtains, I'm inadvertently hurtin' you

How many verses I gotta murder to

Prove that if you were half as nice, your songs you can sacrifice virgins too? Uh

School flunkie, pill junkie

But look at the accolades the skills brung me

Full of myself, but still hungry

I bully myself 'cause I make me do what I put my mind to

And I'm a million leagues above you, ill when I speak in tongues

But it's still tongue in cheek, fuck you

I'm drunk so Satan take the fucking wheel, I'm asleep in the front seat

Bumping Heavy D and the Boys, still chunky but funky

But in my head, there's something I can feel tugging and struggling

Angels fight with devils and here's what they want from me

They're askin' me to eliminate some of the women-hate

But if you take into consideration the bitter hatred I have

Then you may be a little patient and more sympathetic to the situation

And understand the discrimination

But fuck it, life's handing you lemons, make lemonade then

But if I can't batter the women, how the fuck am I supposed to bake them a cake then?

Don't mistake him for (Satan)

It's a fatal mistake if you think I need to be overseas

And take a vacation to trip a broad

And make her fall on her face and

Don't be a retard, be a king? Think not

Why be a king when you can be a God?

(I sent this to India)

where is this from😭

[osjetimojubol]

naći ćemo sreću u drugom gradu

lakim drogama i alkoholu

novim zagrljajima i usanama

sve je isto kao i jučer

isti ljudi, piju, isti tip kafe

isti ljudi, gledaju, gledaju me sa mržnjom

isti prijatelji su negdje daleko

iste ljude čekamo

naći ću način

naći ću sreću bilo gdje

osim kod tebe

hvala Bogu.

[colorisbyshe]

👀 so did you isten to any good and new music in april

i was gonna hold off and wait until jessie ware's album released tonight to make this post but i THINK im gonna want to do a mini live-blog of that album and this post is already massive enough as is sooo

April Faves!

Newly Released:

"High Life" by Bloc Party. Fun vibes. Very relaxed and I think is quite great for the warmer weather and driving with the windows down. Great riffs in this song.

"Dead Wood" by Enter Shikari. Enter Shikari is a weird band for me because I was SUUUPER into their original demos that you could download off like... mypace? And then I forgot they existed. Until this album? So that's CRAZY that they're still here it's been 15 years since I cared about them. Anyways, this song is like... kinda theatrical and WEIRD but not in a theatrical way. It has a bunch of string instruments and a sense of foreboding, I like it. One of the more "for beginners" track on a fairly experimental album. Need to listen to the album more cause I'm unsure if this is my favorite. "Bloodshot" is a great combo of more high speed electronic influences crashing their more hardcore influences. Dubstep energy without the dubstep.

"Be the One" by Bree Runway and Khalid. Radio friendly song of the summer. Vocal chemistry off the charts. Just sweet and soothing.

"GLBTM (Studio Outtakes)" by Daft Punk. Made me cry. I miss Daft Punk so fucking much. Beautiful instrumental.

"冷たい風 (30 Universe Ver)" by Penicillin. Jrock, if you couldn't tell by the Japanese title. It's okay if you don't like listening to non-English music but plEASE listen to the guitar shredding at ~2:27.

"Angel" by Shygirl and Fatima Al Qadiri. ETHEREAL AND HAUNTING.

"Coup" by Frost Children. Earlier, I made a post about how my music taste is getting worse... this album and this song inspired that post. The Medic Droid meets 100 Gecs. Just stupid electronic music it's EMBARRASSING. "Angel's Thoughts" is also an electro banger.

Choosing a song off the new Buck-Tick album is hard. It's all a banger to me but I suppose I really love Namonaki Watashi and the contrast between the way the instrumental feeling like it's sparkling and the strong emphasis of his vocals. Scarecrow is also great, just has a nice intensity throughout the whole thing.

"Midnight Dreams" by Ellie Goulding. Putting out a disco-inspired dance album in the same month as Jessie Ware was BRAVE but I think this album is pretty refreshing. It's just extremely proficient at being... a dance album Ellie Goulding would make, y'unno?

"I'll Remember for Me, I'll Remember for You" by Yaeji. An odd choice from this album, since it's more an interlude than a full song. But I just love that it's this moment of calm on an experimental, erratic and yet there's a creeping sense of... wariness over it all.

"D N D" by Apink. The only Kpop on the list so far?? Grown women showing off vocals while feeling like cotton candy.

"Vinglevingle" by Heize. More kpop except it has more a 2010s eurodance vibe but like... matured.

Came out 3/30 but that is April to me. "Zodiac Killa" by Jean Deaux. This is the type of song to play during a montage of a woman driving across the country, running over men, stopping to ransack jewelry stores, before reuniting with her lover, another woman on horseback.

Honorary Mentions:

"Say it to Me" by Otto Knows. It's a dance track. You know how it is.

"She Don't Mind" by Karencici. I could see Tinashe doing this song except it's largely in mandarin, so like... if Tinashe could sing in mandarin. Talking about Tinashe, it's not her best track, but "Who's Taking You Home" with Kyle is solid enough and also from this month.

"Isumad (Lakim Remix)" by Cookiee Kawaii. I liked this entire album but I choose this one just for having a run time over 3 minutes, a rarity for her! Funky remix. Another take on a nostalgia sound but modernized perfectly.

De De Mouse put out multiple releases, they're good. Check out De De Mouse in generic if you want like... annime OPs/EDs ramped up by funk and other more experimental influences.

Technically came out 3/31 but WHATEVER. "Vampire" by Kvi Baba, the Trigun Stampede OP guy.

Not Released in April:

"Writhe" by Daine. 100 gecs but more emo.

"Over You" by Daddy DJ. Sorry... Daddy DJ really is just like... comfort music at this point. Peak 2000s dance music.

"Mercurial" by Silica Gel, a korean rock band. Love the vocal effect for this song. Just love the resonating nature.

"Wings of Time" by Tame Impala, the song they did for Dungeons and Dragons. Throwback roooooock sound. Blare it with the windows down while driving past a beach at sunset. Trust me it's a vibe.

Revisited a looot of Utada this month. "Michi" remains a bop that stuck with me this month. Just good, mature jpop. Not alone not alone not alone!

Rest in Peace Ryuichi Sakamato. There's many songs to really attribute to such an influential figure but sometimes all you need is a straightforward song like Rain.

"Broken Mirror" by Boom Boom Satelittes is some Jrock tha tFUCKS

[trashbending]

ok i much like barbara am upset that i learned what the jubi slide is thru jacob BUT i am happy that kids these days are listening to crystal waters by way of lakim (!!)

...A šta ljubav može ona to i sme.

U prvim godinama mog profesionalnog rada imala sam običaj da temu koju učenicima dam za pismeni zadatak i sama pišem, zajedno sa njima. Tako sam davala sebi priliku da proverim valjanost svojih predloga za đačka literarna razmišljanja. Istina, u početku su i moji odgovori na postavljenu temu bili „dramatični“, jer sam život tada doživljavala kao klasičnu dramu sa svim etapama kompozicije, od zapleta preko kulminacije do raspleta. Katarza na kraju je bila neminovna. Ne znam zašto mladost boji strastvenim bojama svako novo iskustvo?! Kasnije sam odustala od takvog načina „proveravanja“ teme, jer više nisam umela da, pišući, „zbacim“ sa sebe breme životnog iskustva, godina i ugla iz kojeg sam posmatrala stvari.

Danas moji prvaci (učenici prvog razreda srednje škole) rade pismeni zadatak inspirisan tragedijom „Romeo i Julija“, koju sam desetak časova obrađivala s njima. Posle, uobičajenog, negodovanja („kako glupa tema“ i sl.!) počinju da pišu, proveravajući posle svake rečenice : da li je ovo dovoljno? Pokušavam da im objasnim, već uobičajenom frazom o kvalitetu i kvantitetu, koristeći i Čehovljeve reči o tajnama pisanja (rečima treba da bude tesno, a mislima široko!), mada ni sama nisam uspela da ih primenim u svom pisanju, jer je kod mene i rečima i mislima – široko!

Pokušavam da se setim šta sam ja, „davna“, u njihovim godinama pisala o tragičnoj ljubavi Romea i Julije. Znam samo da sam posle čitanja ove drame stavljala znak jednakosti između velike, prave ljubavi i tragičnog kraja. Ako je velika, onda mora da je tragična! Srećni kraj sam doživljavala kao odnos bez talasanja, s morem kompromisa, sa svojim izborima i sa drugima, neautentičan, anemičan. Ima, mislim, Balašević, pesmu (sve prave ljubavi su tužne!), a i Prever (život razdvaja one koji se mnogo vole...). Monah Lavrentije me je definitivno „uverio“ stihovima : nagle sreće se naglo i završe...Naravno, kasnije u životu sam shvatila da život nije uvek drama sa uzvišenim osećanjima i fatalnim krajem, već često i vodvilj sa „pevanjem i pucanjem“ (u prazno!). Nekada je jedina „tragičnost“ u tome što onaj kome pridajemo Romeove osobine, liči na njega samo u našoj glavi. I, da ne budem samo gorka: ima velikih i lepih ljubavi i sa srećnim krajem – u knjigama i romantičnim filmovima.

Imala sam druga u gimnaziji, koji je znao napamet stihove koje izgovara zaljubljeni Romeo ispod Julijinog balkona, one noći kada se zaljubio u nju, na prvi pogled: „...Nazovi me dragim i biću ponovo kršten...Na lakim krilima ljubavi sam zid preleteo, jer kamene međe ne mogu nikad zadržati ljubav... a što ljubav može ona to i sme...“ Ne treba ni da kažem da je svaka od nas, devojaka, rado za tu priliku „glumila“ Juliju („...Romeo, zašto si Romeo?...ruža bi davala slatki miris, ma kako je mi zvali...“). Boban, taj moj drug, je te stihove izgovarao i kada se udvarao i „uspevalo“ je svaki put! One devojke koje nisu poznavale Šekspira, mislile su da su ti stihovi njima posvećeni, a one koje su ih znale bile su očarane njegovim poznavanjem književnosti. A, da ne govorim o tome da je uz našu percepciju ljubavi, u tim godinama, bolje „išle“ oluje, nemirni talasi, bol, nego mirne luke, more bez talasa... Ljubav smo smatrale, ne osećanjem, nego gotovo egzistencijom, smislom postojanja.Bila sam impresionirana Šekspirovim stihovima (i sada sam!) da se „ljubav rađa, živi i umire u očima“.Mislili smo da se u sve može sumnjati, osim u tu, bezuslovnu ljubav, koja se samo jednom događa (...sumnjaj da li zvezda sja, da li se sunce u krug kreće, da li istina slagati neće, ali ne da volim te ja...)

Čitam zadatke svojih učenika i shvatam, da se vremena menjaju, ali da svaka mladost nosi svoju lepotu u osećaju, u onom nežnom treperenju pred „silom“ koja ih iznenada obuzme, u ostajanju bez daha u trenutku, koji je večan i koji se zauvek pamti. Veliku i idealnu ljubavi Romea i Julije u sukobu sa malim, običnim svetom koji ne razume istinske zanose, prepoznaju i oni u svom vremenu, ali u drugim oblicima. Jedna moja učenica je napisala : ...uzvišen je i divljenja vredan čin Romea i Julije da umru za svoju ljubav, ali, mislim, da bi bilo hrabrije i lepše da su se borili i živeli za nju! Bila sam ganuta, jer nekada davno, u njenim godinama, ja sam u pismenom zadatku napisala sličnu rečenicu. Postoje, ipak, putevi ljubavi i lepote kojima će, posle nas, neki drugi, zaneseni i zaljubljeni, ići.

Dragi moj, moj otrove,

Otrovana sam tobom još od trenutka kada si me prvi put poljubio i na usne mi ubrizgao otrov ljubavi... Od tada moje srce ❤️ kuca samo za tebe i zbog tebe... Sada kad je završeno naše poglavlje u knjizi koja bi se mogla nazvati svakako samo ne ljubavnom, shvatam da se nikad nisam opekla u ljubavi, kao što je to bilo s tobom. Toliko pitanja se vrzma po mojoj glavi... Gdje sam pogriješila? Da li sam pogriješila? Gdje si ti zakazao? Zašto si tako postupio? A onda shvatam da ti ne dugujem više ništa, ni odgovor ni objašnjenje ni ljubav... Dugujem ti samo zahvalnost što si me ostavio kada sam te najviše trebala... Hvala ti što si mi na vrijeme pokazao da nisi za mene, da ne možes biti pored mene i da me ne možeš voljeti onako kako ja tebe volim... Teško si me osvojio, ali si tako lakim potezima slomio moje srce da ga više niko ne može sastaviti nikad...Hvala ti što si mi otvorio oči, da shvatim da mogu biti voljena, poštovana i sretna. Hvala ti što si nas doveo do ruba sa kojeg se ne želimo strmoglaviti ni ti ni ja... Sretan mi budi u životu i ništa ne prihvataj manje od toga...

U potpisu neko tvoj...
