My mother was the first famous person I ever met.

As a doctor with her own practice on the West Side of Cleveland, she couldn’t so much as go out for ice cream a half mile from the house without someone coming up to give her an update on their shallow breathing spells, the new medication they were on for chest pain, or what they might be able to do for a spastic colon. If there were ten people in line at East Coast Custard, a slab of gray concrete with two sliding glass windows on the front, three of them formed a new line to talk to my mom.

I usually rode to East Coast Custard with my brother on our bikes and hauled my cookies n’ cream back home, the cold condensation hurting my left hand as I pressed the plastic cup against one side of the handlebars while using my dominant hand on the other side to steer. I looked over to see my brother Sean, skinny, backward baseball cap, peddling his neon green Schwinn while barely looking up, both hands occupied by the ice cream and spoon floating far behind his untouched handlebars. He looked like he was sitting on the couch at home as he raced effortlessly down the street while eating. He was often already pulling a basketball out of the garage by the time I arrived home. I was left to sit on the porch alone eating a half-melted mess that was now closer to a milkshake. I would beg my brother to go with me to the ice cream spot because if I had to go with my mom, a quick trip would turn into an hour of talking to people who wanted advice, to express gratitude, or (and this was the most common) to have a quick therapy session about their deepest fears and mortality. When they were through, they’d turn to me to tell me how lucky I was to have a mom like her. Eventually, East Coast Custard added a drive-thru so we could get our food quietly without my mom’s fans interrupting.

In 2009, I was sitting with a comic who everyone in the New York comedy scene knew was destined for Marvel movie fame. We were discussing video games and how the crowd looked from our semi-private booth at the back of The Slipper Room when I heard the familiar tone of a stranger interrupting us: “I swear I’m not a stalker” a woman said (an insane way to start a conversation), “…but I love you.” (weirdly, something a stalker might say!). He graciously accepted the compliment while I stewed about how I was interrupted right as I was about to inform my friend of my struggles with Demon’s Souls, a game he’d recommended that had stolen the last few weeks of my life.

In 2018, I was eating Dippin’ Dots and taking turns playing Skee-Ball at Six Flags with a famous battle rapper. Like me, he was also too scared to get on the giant rollercoaster that our partners had decided to brave together, so we hung out in the arcade. Yes, we were regressing. We were two sugar-high 30-somethings screaming at each other about proper Skee-Ball throwing form. We were also, however, in the middle of a serious talk about which of our friends were currently in open marriages and if any relationship amounted to a hill of beans in this crazy world. In the middle of this conversation, I heard someone say, “Excuse me, I don’t mean to bother you, but you’re a rapper, right?” We turned to see a man holding cotton candy in one hand, and his daughter’s hand in the other. His wife stood behind him and rolled her eyes. She realized that part of a family outing was about to be ruined. The guy talked to my friend for the better part of a half hour before letting us get back to screaming about what our tickets could buy and discussing when it was necessary to try couples therapy.

The courtesy of these preambles was never extended to my mom when I was a kid. There was no “sorry to interrupt. I swear I’m not following you! I have a quick question.” All my family ever heard was “Oh, Doctor Wilbur!” and she was theirs for the next few minutes.

I have plenty of memories of my mother at soccer games undistracted as she cheered my brother on, and plenty more of her helping me with my own mental and physical health complaints. These memories of impromptu meetings with her patients don’t bother me now, and growing up, my annoyance was nothing more than the average kid gripe about when moms see each other in the mall and you have to brace yourself for five minutes of boredom while they chat. The problem was the frequency. Everyone needed my mom’s attention all the time. To be fair, the conversations were nominally about life and death, but most could probably wait until the next appointment at her office without any serious consequences. I wanted to go shopping for school supplies without my mother being stopped by anyone. I wanted to have dinner at a restaurant without hearing “Oh, Doctor Wilbur!” before the bread could hit the table. I wanted to have a movie night when my mom was on call without her suddenly leaving the room for a twenty-minute conversation about someone’s aging parent having heart palpitations.

Read the rest here.

I am disappointed.

There were some things I was expecting to see; Like new RENDITIONS of ALL of the song.

RE-RECORDINGs, UNPLUGGED, REMIX, new VIBE for sex drive, new VIDEOS for songs that were not singles, official lyrics and VISUALIZERS and some UNRELEASED. Suffocate is from 2015 but fits the nu-metal genre he mentioned on Pistolero. It even goes well with Roulette. Lana del Rey song, she just posted one with Quavo, rapper from ATL who too had with Migos the whole Latino vibe going on. Their collab went well with Waste Love too.

A music video for El Diablo PT2 & an update on the lyrics of songs like Burning Memories. A PT2 to his comic book. A photography COFFEE TABLE BOOK from 2018 & 2019 when he looked like a whole Papi. A listening party at an actual 'hotel Diablo' lounge. Cleveland has plenty of beautiful Downtown Art Deco restaurants he is rumored he already have fully rented for other private and public occasions. If he wanted a haunted vibe, there are also plenty of abandoned SAFE Art Deco Buildings Downtown CLE he could have rented, he has direct contacts with the mayor afterall.

Even the merch is not original, could have added cigars and cigarette cases and a line of short sleeve shirts.

Maybe pre-recorded interviews or Q&As and skits could have been nice touch to add.

This was supposed to be big deal. This was his fave album.

I feel like as long as he is with MF, he cannot make the free unapologetic art he wants, he has to walk on land mines to keep the twin flame image alive.

The thing I like the most is the fact he called this part two a Floor 13 EDITION. This makes me hope there will be other editions in the future. Maybe there is the chance he can base full albums on songs out of HD.

I think calling it a part 2 was definitely misleading because I was expecting an entirely new album altogether. If anything he should have called it an extended version or re-release of HD with a bonus track. I also think he wasn't expecting the sort of indifferent reaction to the tracklist, because on his insta story he offered another song with no clear instruction on how to get it. More like come up with your own goal and make it happen, but that's not really clear considering everyone has different versions of what they're able and willing to do.

[triplexdoublex]

adin ross is one of those andrew tate worshipping boys lol he makes content mainly for middle schooler boys. he’s had some rappers on recently 21, Playboy Carti. I only know this bc I have a 13 y o brother 😭🤣

& I did watch the stream w colson. Nothing interesting tbh. They were very awkward when interacting with him & trippie.

Basically had a small talk convo about Cleveland. Talked about how him and trippie are like brothers

One funny bit was that when Colson first shows his black out tat to trippie, he told colson “I always knew you were black!” Colson also politely declined to explain the meaning behind the tat.

Adin asked “what’s the deal with diddy?” but colson just looked down at his feet. & Trippie shook his head & stayed silent. They moved on fast from that topic. Which is honestly good.

Colson did a freestyle that I thought was good but the of course the live comments were giving him shit. But to my understanding they basically shit on everyone even adin lol.

So in case anyone was thinking of listening to the stream, it’s basically them explaining who they are to these 2 “interviewers” and then Colson wins 20k in a game of ping pong.

Thanks so much for the recap!

Unveiling the Talent: Exploring the Phenomenon of White Rappers

In the vibrant tapestry of hip-hop, there exists a subset of artists whose backgrounds diverge from the conventional narrative of the genre. These artists, often referred to as white rappers," bring their own unique flavor to the table, challenging stereotypes and breaking down barriers with their lyrical prowess. Join me as we delve into the world of white rappers, exploring their rise to prominence and the impact they've had on the hip-hop landscape.

Beyond Stereotypes: Redefining the Image of White Rappers

Breaking the Mold

In a genre historically dominated by African-American artists, white rappers have faced their fair share of scrutiny and skepticism. Yet, despite the odds stacked against them, these artists have managed to carve out a niche for themselves, proving that talent knows no bounds. From the gritty streets of Detroit to the suburban enclaves of Los Angeles, white rappers have emerged from all corners of the globe, each bringing their own unique perspective to the table.

Challenging Preconceptions

One of the most significant contributions of white rappers to the hip-hop landscape has been their ability to challenge stereotypes and preconceptions about race and identity. Through their music, these artists have offered a fresh perspective on issues such as privilege, discrimination, and cultural appropriation, sparking important conversations within the hip-hop community and beyond.

The Pioneers: Trailblazers of White Rap

Eminem

No discussion of white rappers would be complete without mentioning the one and only Eminem. Hailing from the mean streets of Detroit, Eminem burst onto the scene in the late 90s with his groundbreaking album, "The Slim Shady LP." With his lightning-fast delivery and razor-sharp wit, Eminem quickly established himself as one of the most formidable lyricists in the game, earning critical acclaim and commercial success in equal measure.

Beastie Boys

Before Eminem, there were the Beastie Boys—the original white rap pioneers. Hailing from New York City, the Beastie Boys rose to prominence in the 1980s with their eclectic blend of punk rock and hip-hop. Tracks like "Fight for Your Right" and "Sabotage" not only topped the charts but also helped to break down racial barriers in the music industry, paving the way for future generations of white rappers.

The New Wave: Modern-Day White Rappers

Machine Gun Kelly

With his rebellious spirit and unapologetic attitude, Machine Gun Kelly has emerged as one of the most exciting voices in modern hip-hop. Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, Machine Gun Kelly burst onto the scene in the early 2010s with his electrifying mixtapes and high-energy performances. Tracks like "Wild Boy" and "Bad Things" showcase his versatility as an artist, blending rap, rock, and pop influences to create a sound that's uniquely his own.

Post Malone

While Post Malone may not fit the traditional image of a rapper, there's no denying his impact on the genre. With his melodic flow and genre-bending sound, Post Malone has captivated audiences around the world, earning accolades and awards for his chart-topping hits. From "White Iverson" to "Rockstar," Post Malone's music defies categorization, transcending boundaries and bringing people together in celebration of good vibes and great tunes.

Conclusion: Embracing Diversity in Hip-Hop

In a genre as diverse and dynamic as hip-hop, there's room for artists of all backgrounds and identities to thrive. While white rappers may have faced challenges and obstacles along the way, their contributions to the culture cannot be denied. From the pioneers who paved the way to the modern-day trailblazers who continue to push the boundaries of what's possible, white rappers have left an indelible mark on the hip-hop landscape, enriching the genre with their unique perspectives and experiences.

So the next time you find yourself nodding your head to the beat of a white rapper's track, take a moment to appreciate the artistry and talent that went into creating it. After all, in the world of hip-hop, diversity is not just a buzzword—it's a celebration of the rich tapestry of human experience, woven together by the universal language of music.

before i show u, i wanna give a background story on who she is and what happened to her just in case u or someone else doesn’t know.Jocelyn Flores was a 16 year old girl from The Bronx,NY that relocated to Cleveland,Ohio later on in life but had hispanic roots.This is what she looked like:

She had been battling severe depression,trauma,self-harm and just mental health in general.She killed herself on May 13/14th of the year 2017.Her suicide gained recognition after rapper XXXTentacion spoke about her death in his songs, Revenge and Jocelyn Flores.Before this happened,X had seen her posts on Twitter and thought that Jocelyn was beautiful,so he reached out to her and offered her to work for him as a model and then later asked to meet each other in Florida.By the public this was suspected to be a romantic link-up that was just covered up as a work matter.Jocelyn agreed and flew there without her family being aware and when she arrived she noticed that another girl was present, so she was left unimpressed.After some time,X had to leave to attend one of his cousins ceremony (wedding i believe) and came back to find out that one of his bags that contained $7,000 was raided.He obviously confronts both of the girls and the girls just confuse him even more by them blaiming each other.X after this asks both of the girls to leave and takes back the offer he gave Jocelyn.Jocelyn later sends him a text asking him if he’s sure that he wants to take back the offer in which X replied yes and offered to book her a flight back to Ohio. Then she was found dead in her hotel room as a result of her taking her own life.X felt guilty after this, and declared on his insta about what had happened to her and even released the songs which i mentioned earlier, i recommend u check them out.She had tried to commit 4 times before her 5th attempt was successful.Jocelyn would take pills,drink bleach and harm herself, sometimes even a mixture of all three. It was said by people that knew her that she showed no signs that she was depressed and suicidal, but in some posts that were posted just months before she committed u could see signs of self-harm:

OK NOWWWWW FOR HER BIRTH CHART, this is it. Her birth time has never been mentioned so her ascendant remains unknown but look at the cancer stellium omfg 😟😟 and YES the chart is real i’m not joking she was born on july 2nd 2000, if u don’t believe me go calculate her birth chart urself 😦 girl i GASPED and said omg out loud as soon as i saw this.

i know who she is because i remember the day she committed like it was yesterday everyone was talking about it

her chart is TERRIFYING i mean look at all those cancer placements it’s no wonder she was so sad poor baby
