Beauty/Fame Indicators🌟
* I’ll try to touchdown on everything as much as I can
* BASED OFF MY INTERPRETATION
* I get my info from professional astrologers and other places
—————————————————————————————————————————
Fame Degrees ✨💫
❤️5 Degrees in birth chart:
Your fame could be short term, could be famous since a young age, or fame from your beauty (bc 5 in numerology represents beauty).
Ex: Ariana Grande has her Cancer Sun at 5 degrees. Cancer represents the home, emotions, and more. The sun represents self expression, self awareness, etc. Ariana grande has been an actress since she was a child.
💛17 Degrees in birth chart:
The 17th degree represents long term fame. You could be famous for your influence over people, music, etc. depending on sign and its aspects.
Ex: Whether you like him or not, he is a great example of this. Chris Brown has his Taurus moon at 17 degrees. Taurus represents the throat and the moon represents the emotions. He is known for being a great singer and is very talented.
💚28 Degrees in birth chart:
This is known as a household name degree and you could still be remembered even if you fall off. In numerology, the 28th degree represents wealth also. Rihanna has this in her birth chart and she is a billionaire. Amerie the singer had a huge hit in 2005 called this “1 Thing”. Even though she fell off, people still remember her and play that song till this day, she’s wealthy, and she has the 28th degree in her chart. But today, we will be talking about Mrs. Nicki Minaj.
Ex: Nicki has her Libra Pluto and Capricorn mars at 28 degrees. Pluto represents change, transformation, and more. Libra rules partnerships but it also rules the color PINK and Barbie is associated with PINK. Capricorn represents hard work and great work ethic. Mars represents action, confidence, etc.
Nicki Minaj is known for her Barbie image and she was able to successfully transform that image over the years. Also, people made fun of Nicki for how she dressed in 2011/2012 with the crazy wigs and outfits but that image made her a millionaire(28th degree). Nicki Minaj started rapping on her block in 2000 like she was doing freestyles and everything. In 2003, Nicki Minaj debuted with a rap group called the “hood stars” and she started releasing her solo projects around 2008-2009. Nicki got rejected several times and people shut the door in her face but she kept going. It took Nicki Minaj more than 5 years just to make it in the music industry and I respect that she kept going no matter what.
💗29 Degrees in birth chart:
This represents long term fame but it is KARMIC. This type of fame is fame that teaches you a lesson and helps you to elevate. Don’t get the 29th degree is a karmic degree. In numerology(2+9=11), it represents influence over others because the number 11 is an influential number.
Ex: Naomi Campbell has her Gemini Venus and Neptune Scorpio at 29 degrees. Naomi’s Venus at 29 degrees gives her long term fame for her beauty. Scorpio represents sex appeal, being temperament, etc. Neptune represents glamour and hypnotic beauty. Naomi Campbell is known for being one of the most beautiful women in the world and one of the top models in the world. Naomi has also been known to be mean and temperamental to others like her assistant and more.
📱11 Degrees in birth chart:
This degree represents being influential and it’s a common degree found in a lot of social media influences birth chart. This degree in your birth chart can help you gain a following.
Ex: Madison Beer is a great example of this. Madison has her mars Scorpio at 11 degrees in her 6H. Besides her music, I don’t know too much about her but she is a very pretty girl. Scorpio can represent sex appeal, being magnetic, and seductive. Mars can represent desirability, lust, and confidence. Due to her Scorpio mars at 11 degrees being in her 6H, I will assume that she posts like everyday or used to post everyday. She could show case her everyday life a lot and she could be seen as someone who is as beautiful as a sirene on social media. It seems like her seduction can lure people in and cause people to be obsessed with her. Oh yea I just remembered! Every girl at one point was obsessed with her pretty she was and they wanted to be her. I would say her beauty and allure plays a huge part in her career and social media following. I could also conclude it is what causes people to be attached/obsessed with her.
* I might do a beauty indicator post on Madison because she’s very beautiful

Kendrick-Drake Beef Playlist
(Disclaimer: All accusations between the two artists are alleged. As of 5/9/24, there has been no formal investigation regarding allegations of sexual trafficking, abuse to minors, illegitimate children, or domestic violence. Viewer discretion is advised.) Out of the loop? Here's the track list of disses in order:
1) Control (Big Sean ft. Kendrick Lamar & Jay Electronica)
Infamous enough that former President Barack Obama was asked who would win a rap battle between Kendrick and Drake. He chose Kendrick Lamar.
Bout who's the best MC? Kendrick, Jigga and Nas I'm usually homeboys with the same n---a I'm rhymin' wit But this is hip hop and them n---as should know what time it is And that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big KRIT, Wale Pusha T, Meek Millz, A$AP Rocky, Drake
2) First Person Shooter (Drake ft. J Cole)
First response from Drake after Control dropped, this time featuring J Cole who completed the ultimate trifecta of today's popular rap artists.
Love when they argue the hardest MC Is it K Dot, is it Aubrey or me? We the big three like we started the league But right now, I feel like Muhammad Ali
3) Like That (Future, Metro Boomin, Kendrick Lamar)
Second response after FPS. Kendrick refuses to share the crown with Drake and J Cole and challenges them for the top spot.
Think I won't drop the location? I still got PTSD Motherfuck the big three, n---a, it's just big me N---a, bum, what? I'm really like that And your best work is a light pack N---a, Prince outlive Mike Jack N---a, bum, 'fore all your dogs gettin' buried That's a K with all these nines, he gon' see Pet Sematary
4) 7 Minute Drill (J Cole)
J Cole decides to beef with Kendrick after being called out in Like That. He quickly disowned 7 Minute Drill and days later apologized to Kendrick Lamar during a live show. Allegedly, after hearing that the beef between Kendrick and Drake was serious, J Cole bowed out of the beef because he thought it was a friendly competition.
He still doin' shows But fell off like the Simpsons Your first shit was classic Your last shit was tragic If he wasn't dissin' Then we wouldn't be discussin' him
5) Push Ups (Drake)
While J Cole ducks for cover, Drake moves forward with the beef, though it's also a collective diss to Rick Ross, and Metro Boomin. This is also where he drops Kendrick's fiancee's name, Whitney and makes fun of his height. You won't ever take no chain off of us How the fuck you big steppin' with a size-seven men's on? This the bark with the bite, n---a, what's up? I know my picture on the wall when y'all cook up Extortion baby, whole career, you been shook up 'Cause Top told you, "Drop and give me fifty," like some push-ups, huh
6) Taylor Made Freestyle (Drake ft. Tupac AI and Snoop Dogg AI)
Second shot at Kendrick, this was released on IG. Drake uses AI for this track, using Snoop Dogg and 2Pac to taunt Kendrick. 2Pac's estate demanded that the track be taken down as it was an unauthorized use of 2Pac's voice. Drake eventually took the track down, but the damage was already done.
Dot, I know you're in that NY apartment, you strugglin' right now, I know it In the notepad doing lyrical gymnastics, my boy You better have a motherfuckin' quintuple entendre on that shit Some shit I don't even understand, like That shit better be crazy, we waitin' on you
7) Euphoria (Kendrick Lamar)
Kendrick officially warns Drake that he has dirt on him. Euphoria is also a hit show about troubled girls, which Drake is a producer of. This is also the infamous track where KDot demands Drake lose his N-word privileges.
I make music that electrify 'em, you make music that pacify 'em I can double down on that line, but spare you this time, that's random acts of kindness Know you a master manipulator and habitual liar too But don't tell no lie about me and I won't tell truths 'bout you
8) 6:16 in LA (Kendrick Lamar)
While waiting for Drake's response, Kendrick shocks the hip hop world with a second shot a couple days after Euphoria, exactly on 6:16am (PST). This track is meant to spook Drake. Kendrick gloats of how he got his hands on a mole in Drake's entourage and they're feeding him scandalous information about Drake.
But let me tell you some game 'cause I can see you, my lil' homie You playin' dirty with propaganda, it blow up on ya You're playin' nerdy with Zack Bia and Twitter bots But your reality can't hide behind wifi Your lil' memes is losin' steam, they figured you out The forced opinions is not convincin', y'all need a new route It's time that you look around on who's around you Before you figure that you're not alone, ask what Mike would do
9) Family Matters (Drake)
A few hours after 6:16, Drake finally responds to the beef. He ups the ante by taking shots at Kendrick's family and drops that Kendrick beats his wife. Drake also threatens other artists who may be siding against him. This is also the most he's said the N-word in his song, taunting Kendrick for revoking his N-word privileges in Euphoria.
When you put your hands on your girl, is it self-defense 'cause she bigger than you? Your back is up against the curb, you diggin' for dirt, should be diggin' for proof Why did you move to New York? Is it 'cause you livin' that bachelor life? Proposed in 2015, but don't wanna make her your actual wife I'm guessin' this wedding ain't happenin', right?
EDIT: This post on reddit believes that Family Matters was the whole reason for the Euphoria drop. This is pure speculation, however, so decide for yourself the validity of these receipts!
10) Meet the Grahams (Kendrick Lamar)
Not even 45 MINUTES after Drake drops Family Matters, Kendrick responds, robbing Drake of his temporary triumph. He straight up lays waste to Drake's entire family, offering to be Adonis' mentor because Drake's a deadbeat dad, calling out Drake's parents for raising him terribly, and revealing that Drake has another illegitimate child, this time a daughter he's been hiding for eleven years. He also warns the female listeners that if they like Drake, they're exposing themselves to a predator.
Dear Aubrey I know you probably thinkin' I wanted to crash your party But truthfully, I don't have a hatin' bone in my body This supposed to be a good exhibition within the game But you fucked up the moment you called out my family's name Why you had to stoop so low to discredit some decent people? Guess integrity is lost when the metaphors doesn't reach you
11) Not Like Us (Kendrick)
24 hours after Meet the Grahams, Kendrick drops a new diss track, this time actively calling for Drake's life, saying he has fake street cred, called the people in his entourage pedophiles, and releasing the track just before everybody hits the club on a Saturday night just to rub salt in the wound. He calls out Drake on behalf of 2Pac and promises he has at least five more diss tracks waiting, knowing that Drake hasn't had the chance to respond yet. He also mentions Family Matters, which meant he wrote his responding diss in less than 24 hours.
Let me break it down for you, this the real n---a challenge You called Future when you didn't see the club Lil Baby helped you get your lingo up 21 gave you false street cred Thug made you feel like you a slime in your head Quavo said you can be from Northside 2 Chainz say you good, but he lied You run to Atlanta when you need a few dollars No, you not a colleague, you a fuckin' colonizer
12) The Heart Part 6 (Drake)
Also 24 hours after Kendrick's last diss track, Drake finally drops a response. He addresses some of the allegations, including purposefully feeding info from the mole to Kendrick about a daughter that doesn't exist. He takes a few more shots at Kendrick's relationships, implying that his partner Whitney hasn't denied the accusations of domestic violence. He also clowns on Kendrick's sexual abuse as a child and blames that on his witch hunt to prove Drake was a pedophile. He ends the diss saying that he was tired of the whole beef and he didn't want to fight with an alleged woman beater. As of 5/9/24, THP6 has more dislikes than likes on Youtube.
My mom came over today, and I was like, "Mother, I— Mother, I—, mother—," ahh, wait a second Wait a second, that's that one record where you say you got molested Aw, fuck me, I just made the whole connection This about to get so depressing This is trauma for your own confessions
_____
This is the BARE BONES summary of the long, bitter history between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. This doesn't even cover it all. This is just about the disses. I recommend looking up the history between them for more context in other places.
It's 5/9/24 and 3:00pm (PST) as of this post. Updates will be posted accordingly.

LOVE, PATIENCE & ADMIRATION.
SUMMARY. some of the significant moments of aeri and kaleina’s journey through produce 101
AUTHORS NOTE. here it isssss @urmykrushhh i’m so sorry this took forever 😭 BUT!! i really enjoyed working on this. i kinda filled in some blanks, like their audition performance, kaleina & kiyeon’s relationship, etc, but hopefully i got this somewhat accurate of the girls’ journey. btw i got a lot of inspo for this fic from the greatest by billie eilish, literally had that song on repeat
hearing the news of being sent to produce 101 brought on two different reactions from aeri and kyungja. for aeri, it only erupted her nerves even more, the threat of having to compete against on hundred other girls for a debut worried her. kyungja, on the other hand, took this as another opportunity; a solid chance to make her dreams come true in case she couldn’t debut under bighit.
having the title of “bighit trainees” alone already gave them a higher up. shocked stares and whispers filled the room upon the girls’ entrance from compliments like, “they’re so pretty” to questions such as, “since when did bighit even have female trainees?” to comments about how kyungja looked a bit familiar.
aeri and kyungja could feel a mixture of awe and tension when they walked into the room, however their smiling faces never faltered, making a good impression. cheetah let out a sudden sound of surprise while looking through the girls’ profiles, kyungja specifically. she did a double take, whispering to bae yoonjung sitting next to her before turning her attention to kyungja. “kyungja, your sister is an idol, correct?”
kyungja sheepishly smiled, “yes. my older sister is girls generations’ kiyeon.”
as soon as she said that, they entire room filled with gasps and surprised looks. so that’s why she looked so familiar.
“are you going to perform a girls generation song?” jang keunsuk asked.
“no, no,” kyungja laughed, comically waving her hands in protest. that was a discussion before entering the show, what song they would perform. aeri suggested run devil run or mr. mr. but the younger girl detested the idea. of course she liked those songs and she knew that promoted herself as juyeon’s younger sister would garner lots of attention, but she didn’t want to do that. she didn’t want to use her sister’s popularity to get herself ahead. she was gonna get there on her own.
finally, aeri and kyungja were able to perform. deciding to be confident and make a strong impression, the girls performed i am the best by 2ne1, which received praise from the judges and contestants. jeA complimented aeri on her vocals but told her that her dancing needed improvement. kyungja received praise for her rapping and dance ability and was asked to freestyle, which only put her in higher graces with the judges.
“i’ll announce the rankings now,” jang keunsuk exclaimed, holding the microphone close and looking down at his papers, “trainee jang kyungja, A.”
kyungja smiled and sighed in relief as all of the other trainees clapped for her. nobody really excepted anything less.
“trainee yamamoto aeri,” keunsuk continued, leaving a long pause before announcing her ranking, “B.”
though she was slightly disappointed she received a lower rank than kyungja, she still smiled and nodded, clapping for herself along with the other trainees.
“thank you.” the girls both bowed and walked off stage. as the two walked up to their seats, finally, they held hands and smiled at each other in encouragement; a silent saying of “we got this.” they were already off to a good start and while the only place you can go after being at the top is down, it seemed unlikely at the moment.
kyungja almost doesn’t believe it when a staff member hands her her cell phone. her eyes blink rapidly and she looks at the female staff skeptically, “really?” she asks while being urged to take the phone. she slowly takes it, in fear that the staff will change her mind and instantly take it back. when she’s told to make a phone call to someone important, she immediately thinks of one person; kiyeon.
“hello?”
“oh thank god you answered,” kyungja dramatically sighs in relief, basically throwing her entire body against the wall. she really didn’t think her sister would, being already a debuted idol and kyungja being so busy training, it’s been a while since they’ve had the chance to really talk.
kiyeon lightens up hearing her baby sister’s voice, “kyungja-yah! are you okay? how are you? aren’t you still doing the show?” she floods kyungja with multiple questions, but it takes a moment for kyungja to find an answer. she didn’t realize it until now, but she really needed to hear her voice.
kyungja lets her body slide down to the floor and holding her knees to her chest. “don’t worry, i’m not eliminated yet,” she jokes, though the threat of possibly being eliminated never leaves her mind. “they gave us our phones to call someone, so i decided to call you. sorry if you’re busy.”
kiyeon hums, “you know i’m never too busy when you need me. what’s on your mind?”
the younger sibling sighs, feeling the weight of kiyeon’s words. what is on her mind? besides constantly practicing and working hard to not be eliminated, kyungja had very little time to process her feelings.
“i’m tired,” she knows that for sure. probably not just physically, but mentally too. kyungja has been doing this for a long time, six years to be exact. she loves this, she really does, but goddamn does she need a nap and a couple hours to herself.
“that’s okay,” kiyeon tells her. “you’ll get tired a lot doing this job. but don’t let yourself be tired for nothing.” kyungja tilts her head in confusion, raising her eyebrows.
“if you really want this kyungja, use that tiredness to find the strength to push through. don’t let it go to waste.”
“but also, don’t overwork yourself and get sick, you need to be healthy too.” kiyeon quickly adds, but kyungja smiles and laughs, “got it. thanks unnie.” her words replay in kyungja’s mind and she finds herself feeling a little better, more determined if anything.
“you got this, kaleina.”
“aeri is the center?” jeA asked.
as the concept evaluation round of performances were just a few days away, led to aeri and the rest of her team practicing yum-yum. cheetah and jeA, who were monitoring the performance, were quiet for a moment as the girls completed the routine. tension filled the room with the girls out of breath and nervous, worried about what they will say.
“what happened? aeri, you messed up once and suddenly your face looked scared for the rest of the performance. you looked like you didn’t know what you were doing.” cheetah scolds. her tone isn’t harsh, but aeri can practically hear the intimidation in her voice. in respond, she could only nod and let out a soft apology.
“don’t apologize. just fix it, okay?”
after what seemed like forever, kyungja and aeri meet up in an empty practice room. since performing the signal song, they’ve been on separate teams. it’s been a while since they’ve had the free time to talk.
“you okay?” kyungja asks, taking a seat on the floor next to aeri, who’s leaning against the wall. aeri, who only hums, watches her sit. the two sit in a comfortable silence for a moment.
“i think i’m in trouble,” aeri laughs, though serious. “i’m worried about this performance.” she actually worried about a lot of things right now; the fear of being eliminated, the public audience slowly beginning to turn on her, but this upcoming performance weighs heavily.
“let me see.” kyungja declares, and aeri looks at a bit taken aback. “you have the music, right? let me see you do it.” she gestures for aeri to get up. the older girl hesitates for a second before grabbing the music player. kyungja was one of the best dancers she’s ever met. if anyone could help her, it would be her.
as aeri plays the music and begins to dance, kyungja looks at her intensely. it’s a look that makes aeri believe she’d be a good judge if she wasn’t a trainee. as the song reaches the chorus, kyungja suddenly stops her.
“relax. you’re so tense, it’s why you’re off beat. it’s causing you to move too fast. you might be thinking too much, which i completely understand, but it’s not helping you.” aeri nods, intensely taking in everything she’s saying. she understands, but how is she supposed to relax? they’re not exactly in a calm situation right now. it almost makes her feel worse.
kyungja seemingly senses aeri’s worries. “here, close your eyes.” again, aeri looks at her confused.
“close your eyes, turn around, and do the choreography. it might be easier if you make yourself believe you’re alone.” she can read the skepticism written all of aeri’s face, but her stance doesn’t change, staring at her until she decides to do it.
“okay,” aeri draws out, slowly turning around and closing her eyes. she doesn’t really understand how this method is supposed to work, but kyungja’s the only dance expert in the room right now so she’ll go with it.
the music begins, and aeri takes a deep breath. she starts to dance, and oddly enough, her body feels calmer. she’s not looking at anyone and therefore, doesn’t feel the stress of being judge, even while knowing that kyungja is right behind her. she goes through the entire routine, not completely perfect, but better than the first time. as the song closes out and aeri completes the final move, kyungja smiles and softly claps for her. “see? that was better, right? how was it?”
aeri turns back to face her and smiles and nods, slightly out of breath. “yeah, i think that was better. now i just have to do that with my eyes open.”
“come on, just practice a few more times like that and you’ll be okay. you got this aeri.” kyungja encourages, and while it doesn’t make aeri’s worries completely go away, it leaves some hope in her mind.
kyungja sent a warming smile towards aeri, attempting to lift up the older girl’s spirits. aeri reciprocated, but as the names of other trainees began to be called and less spots became available, her worries only grew.
kang mina in 18th place, zhou jieqiong in 19th place, jeon soyeon in 20th place, jung eunwoo in 21st place. aeri’s eyes were squeezed shut and her fingers tightly crossed. she had to be next, please let her be next. she knows the public hasn’t been in favor of her recently, but if she just had one more shot, she’d do better. all she needs is one more chance to prove that she deserves a spot and─
lee soohyun in 22nd place.
the tenseness in her body slowly eased. her fingers uncrossed and her eyes slowly open as the realization hit her. she didn’t make it. her mind starts to spin, going over everything she did wrong or could’ve done better; how she could’ve done better.
will she have another chance after this?
sure, there were still plans for bighit to debut a new girl group, but in this industry? everything is uncertain. aeri’s eyes began to well into tears, but she quickly blinked them away at the sight of kyungja, who had a look of pity on her face. all of their encouragement of making the group together was suddenly down the drain.
“it’s okay.” aeri mouthed to kyungja, hoping to make the younger girl feel better. she shouldn’t be sad, kyungja still has a chance.
although regrettable, she can’t change the past. she did what she did and this is what happened.
days later kyungja would find herself in the same position, surrounded in the mist of the remaining girls, all anxiously waiting for their fate. it was the final. after months of rigorous practicing, tough competition, and stressful eliminations, things were coming to an end.
names began to be called, painfully slowly might i add. from lim nayoung in 10th place to jeon somi and kim sejeong in 1st and 2nd. only 11th place remained. kyungja stared at the tv screen displayed in front of the girls, jumping in surprise seeing her face appear along with three other girls.
kyungja couldn’t even find the words to speak when asked how she felt. a million thoughts ran through her head, she could barely think straight. 14th place was announced, then 13th; neither of which were her.
no pressure, right?
now, it was between her and yeonjung. a top tier vocalist versus a top tier dancer. it was anyone’s game at this point, either one of them. kyungja didn’t know how much longer she could be patient. her hands were shaking and she could only stare at the floor. when she heard the words, “starship, yoo yeonjug,” she let out the huge breath she had been holding since the beginning.
one spot. kyungja was one spot away from making the lineup of i.o.i. just one. she walked over and hugged yeonjung, who had bursted into tears, reassuring and congratulating her. no matter how disappointed in herself she was, these were still her friends and colleagues. she was happy for yeonjung. though, she could help turning away from everyone else to wipe her tears after letting go of her.
‘don’t let it be for nothing.’ kyungja heard kiyeon’s words in her head. she won’t quit. there was still hope for her at bighit. she’s gonna go back and continue to work hard for her dreams. she won’t let her struggles be for nothing.

Meeting Him Again
Character: Jesse x Fem! Reader
Summary: Your ex, (or so you thought) has been released from prison. How will you react when you meet him again?
Warning: none
Note: Hi! This is my first fic here. I’m not a native speaker so my English is kinda shit. Anyway, I never find any Jesse fic. This man need some love. Naoto play this character too well. I love him.
___________________________________
You were young and dumb. Your 19 year old self was too happy to date a man of your dream. He is older than you, by 3 years but he is very attractive.
He is short, but that doesn’t matter. Both of you almost the same when it came to height. He got a very beautiful smile, a bit arrogant, reckless and know how to fight. You was over the moon when he asked you out.
The night was young when you both decided to ended your date with a kiss. An innocent peck turns into heated make out session and both of you ended up on your bed the next day, naked with only plain blanket covered your body.
The next thing you know is you are his.
Jesse was the man that you always wanted. Even though your relationship with him is toxic, you ignored all of the obvious red flag. One of it when you watched him beat a guy half death just because he looks at you the wrong way.
You thought that it was normal, having a very possessive and caring boyfriend.
His friends are cool, the small hip hop group called Mighty Warrior. Ice, the boxer who are a good rapper used to be your close friend and always there whenever you hang out with them at their hideout. Bernie always show you how to make a fire beat whenever he was doing their new song.
9, not much but that guy is cool and fun to be with. Aside from his questionable hair cut, you found his presence comforting. He thought you how to do freestyle rap and sometimes you guys always tried to make your own song. Doesn’t matter how shit you are when it comes to rapping and singing.
That was until he got caught by the police.
You was there, the day the police came to your apartment to arrested him. Both of you just cuddling on the sofa and your bell rings. You thought that it was the delivery guy until you saw their uniforms.
Jesse didn’t tried to deny the allegations and then he was brought to Rasen. It took you two months to realized how toxic and abnormal your relationship’s are. If it wasn’t for your friends, you would have gone crazy and still in denial.
It’s been years since that day and honestly, you are recovering and stronger than before. You picked up new hobbies and signed up for a music class with your friend. You already graduated from University.
Years of studying your ass off finally paid off. You graduated with perfect CGPA and the best thing is you are free from student loan and debts. You didn’t get to University with scholarship. You worked as a bartender at Club Heaven that belongs to the White Rascals. Your boss is the greatest man alive.
“Don’t forget tonight. We need to celebrate.” Your friends said before waving.
“ I know, I know. Funk Jungle right?” You confirmed for the last time before walking away.
Time flies, it’s been six years.
You entered the taxi before giving the driver your address. You put on your headphones and play a song. You decided to take a nap before arriving at your house.
You changed your apartment three years ago and your new one is 20 kilometres away from your campus. It is far but you usually ride your bike to the Uni but today you felt lazy. You sent your bike to the repair shop since you need to change the oil.
___________________________________
Night come, you decided to wear a short skirt and plain white top and green oversized jacket. You pick your Doc Martin boots before heading out from your apartment.
Your friends already waiting downstairs with their boyfriends. One of them owns a limousine so they decided to pick everyone up before going to the club. You don’t know much about the new club but they say that the rappers are good.
They got myriads of good songs and dance battle at the end of every song.
By the time you arrives at the club, numerous sports car and people outside. The music is so loud that you can hear it from outside. After get your id check by the bouncer, all of you finally get inside.
The neon lights blinded you for a second before you catch the glimpse of the rapper at the stage. The people their jumping, dancing and some drink a lot. You can’t lie, this club is way better than the one that you work at.
Well, they didn’t have any dress code so that’s why they are the best. Oh don’t get you start on the ambiance of the club.
The lights, the music.
Real heaven.
“I’m going to drink. Just dance.” You said before they get to drag you away.
While walking, you get to see a woman drinking with numerous guy by her side. All of the men pass out one by one. That scene made you smile.
“Mind a new drink partner?” The woman didn’t say anything. She signals the bartender to grab another glass.
As the guy pour you the liquor, both you and the woman clink the glass before chug it. Your brows furrowed. That was strong.
You didn’t realize how many glasses that you have drink. Your head felt light but you kept drinking. The next thing that you know, your friends drag you away from the bar and all of you dance together.
“See something that you like?” Jesse turned his head to the guy.
Ice handed him the drink that he just poured. Jesse took it before chugging it down. His eyes still looking at you.
“I heard she move away. Can you believe it?” Ice hummed at the man’s word.
“Do you still like him bro?” Jesse smirked.
“We never broke up.” He reminded him.
Ice snorted at his reply. He know damn well what his friend would do to you.
“You should visit her. After all, she’s your girl bro.” He patted the man’s shoulder before went and sit with Sarah and the others.
Jesse smirked at the idea. By the time he walk out from the Sun King, he thought you would be there, waiting and welcoming him back after been away.
How dare you move away.
How dare you ran from him.
___________________________________
Your laughter can be heard all over the house. Thank god you went to the club with friends and not alone. You drank too much alcohol and your friends need to drop you at your house early.
After drinking a whole 1.5 litre of water and two aspirins, you finally in your right mind. At least you can walk and converse like a normal person.
“Remember to call me tomorrow (y/n). We need to shop for the clothes.” Rika, your friend reminds you.
“ I know. Now go away your boyfriend is waiting.” You finally kick her out.
You take of your boots before putting it aside. You took of your jacket and throw it on the floor. By the time you flick the lamp switch, your screams filled the living room.
“ I miss you bunny.”
You grab the nearest thing that you can get your hands to. Jesse gave you his killer smirk before getting closer to you.
“ Don’t! Don’t move!” You warned him, while still holding the flower vase that you grabbed earlier.
Jesse holding his hands up, playfully trying to get near you. He knows that you would never throw that vase to him.
You are speechless. How? How the hell did he knows your house?
How can he be here? He should be in prison.
“You should be in Rasen.” You muttered.
He shrugged his shoulders and before you get to do anything, he already standing in front of you, taking the vase and put it away.
“ I’ve been released yesterday. And I thought that my girlfriend should be in front of the gate, welcoming me.” He grabbed your cheeks with his right hand.
“I am not your girlfriend!” You snarled at him.
Suddenly the grip became strong. Your jaw tighten and your hands tried to push him away but didn’t succeed.
“Don’t get ahead of yourself yet bunny.” He said.
He pushed your body to the couch before caging you. His hand play with the loose strands of your hair before sniffing it.
“This is better than I imagined.” He muttered.
He planted kisses around your neck before going to your face. The kiss ended on your lips.
“Pack your bag, I’ll come and get you tomorrow. You better behave or I’m going to be very, very mad.”
His breath fanning your neck. He kissed your forehead before walking to the door.
“ Don’t run bunny. I’ll hunt you down.” He reminded you before closing the door.
After he left, tears streaming down from your eyes. Fucking!
Six years, for six years you tried to change and when you finally be the better version of yourself, he came back.
You wasted six years preparing for this day to come but at the end, you still cant win against him.
You kept making the same mistake. Oh how you wish for today to be different.

Madeline Hatter Headcanons:
Her full name is Madeline Xylophone Hatter.
She uses all pronouns, including pronouns of old and pronouns yet to be.
Like Cedar, she doesn’t have a mother. The Mad Hatter simply pulled a newborn baby out of his hat one day and became a dad.
It is near-impossible to make her angry, but nobody would dare test her. When she does get angry, steam pours out of her ears, her head pops off of her shoulders, flips in mid air, and lands back on her shoulders. This freaks a lot of people out.
She, her dad, and the March Hare would have tea every day in Wonderland.
She likes to host Unbirthday parties at the tea shoppe. Naturally, every day had an Unbirthday party of some kind.
She’s good at freestyle rap, but she refuses to stay on beat.
She likes to think about what certain objects taste like.
She’s a very good leader, evident from being Royal Student Council Co-President. She may not get her point across (or even have a point for that matter), but she is a walking ball of charisma and could very well start a revolution if she wanted to.
She is afraid of beige.
Maddie can canonically see the future. She has seen the futures of her, all her friends, and Ever After. However, these futures are constantly changing and she can’t tell which future will happen and which won’t. She doesn’t mind much what her future holds because she’s happy with her life and how it is right now.
She and Raven met when Maddie fell down a dry well. She then popped up behind Raven and scared her into falling down the well. They like to laugh about it now.
Maddie taught Raven how to dye her hair. It was the first, last, and only time she was allowed to touch Raven’s hair.
She very much knows she’s in a story and that people are watching her and her friends’ every move. If she would, she would like to have tea with you, and maybe celebrate your Unbirthday sometime.
Milton Grimm is one of the only people in the world she dislikes, because he prevents everyone from being their best and happiest selves.
She has small verbal and physical tics, but nobody is bothered or even notices them. She mostly giggles, flaps her arms, and yells out nonsense words like “frabjous” and “runcible”.
She once put a hat on her hat because “the hat was cold”. She then put a hat on top of that hat, and then a hat on top of that hat, and so on and so forth. This lasted about three weeks.
She inspects mysterious things by putting her face in it.
Her favorite number is 10/6.
She sometimes forgets people’s names, even after meeting them several times.
After taking refuge in Ever After, Maddie experienced a huge culture shock. Social norms aren’t something she can comprehend. Before meeting Raven, she mostly spent her time with her dad, Kitty, and Lizzie.
She, Kitty, and Lizzie have all formed a close bond with each other. Maddie doesn’t label what kind of relationship it is, but it is a loving relationship whatever it is.
Maddie and Dexter have a complicated relationship. On the one hand, Maddie likes Dexter and thinks he’d be a good match for Raven. On the other hand, Dexter is constantly confused and sometimes inconvenienced by Maddie’s antics. On the third hand, they both love Raven and will team up if it means supporting her.
She is omnilingual. She even claims to speak animal, baby, and wind.

TONY GWYNN HITTING
He was less concerned with getting a hit in a particular at-bat and was more focused with being comfortable at the plate, having a fluid swing, and making solid contact. Over the course of the season, he figured it would result in success.[34]
Gwynn was hard-working and known for his work ethic and devotion to extra batting practice.[3][13][185][197] On the road, he stayed in his hotel room, studying video of his at-bats or playing video games.[68][198]
In the first 12 years of his MLB career, Gwynn used a 32½-inch, 31-ounce bat. In his final eight years, he employed a 33-inch, 30½-ounce bat.[d][11][29] Gwynn wanted his wooden bats light like his aluminum ones in college. Instead of having the barrel of his bats shaved, as many batters do, he had them "cupped", with the end of the barrel hollowed out like the bottom of a wine bottle.[176]

STARBUCKS & SEPHORA COFFEE RIGHTS
Ethiopia and Oxfam America urged Starbucks to sign a licensing agreement with Ethiopia to help boost prices paid to farmers. At issue was Starbucks' use of Ethiopia's famed coffee brands—Guji, Sidamo, Yirgacheffe and Harar—that generate high margins for Starbucks and cost consumers a premium, yet generated very low prices to Ethiopian farmers. Cappuccino (/ˌkæpʊˈtʃiːnoʊ/ ⓘ, Italian: [kapputˈtʃiːno]; from German Kapuziner)[1] is an espresso-based coffee drink that is traditionally prepared with steamed milk including a layer of milk foam.[2] Variations of the drink involve the use of cream instead of milk, using non-dairy milk substitutes and flavoring with cocoa powder (in Europe and Australasia) or cinnamon (in the United States).[3][4] It is typically smaller in volume than that of a latte, and topped with a thick layer of foam rather than being made with microfoam.[5]
A liqueur coffee is a caffeinated alcoholic drink that consists of a shot of liqueur, mixed with coffee. It is typically served in a liqueur glass, often accompanied with cream and sugar. Coffee liqueur beverages are served in different fashions and can be found throughout many countries. One of the most popular liqueur coffee beverage is commonly known as Irish coffee.[1] Liqueur coffee beverages are largely classified as cocktails as well as digestifs which are aimed at aiding the digestive process typically after a meal.
Coffee is well known as a cosmetic ingredient, particularly due to the presence of phenolic compounds, such as chlorogenic acids, and caffeine. Caffeine is widely used in cosmetic formulations due to its photoprotector and anti-aging properties, as well as lipolytic action in cellulitis, and hair regrowth.

Rural economics is the study of rural economies. Rural economies include both agricultural and non-agricultural industries, so rural economics has broader concerns than agricultural economics which focus more on food systems.[1] Rural development[2] and finance[3] attempt to solve larger challenges within rural economics. These economic issues are often connected to the migration from rural areas due to lack of economic activities[4] and rural poverty. Some interventions have been very successful in some parts of the world, with rural electrification and rural tourism providing anchors for transforming economies in some rural areas. These challenges often create rural-urban income disparities.[5] Rural spaces add new challenges for economic analysis that require an understanding of economic geography: for example understanding of size and spatial distribution of production and household units and interregional trade,[6] land use,[7] and how low population density effects government policies as to development, investment, regulation, and transportation.[8]
A commercial economy is an economic system characterized by the exchange of goods and services, often driven by trade and market forces, rather than subsistence agriculture.
REIGs Edge City Slum
An edge city is a concentration of business, shopping, and entertainment outside a traditional downtown or central business district, in what had previously been a suburban, residential or rural area. The term was popularized by the 1991 book Edge City: Life on the New Frontier by Joel Garreau, who established its current meaning while working as a reporter for The Washington Post. Garreau argues that the edge city has become the standard form of urban growth worldwide, representing a 20th-century urban form unlike that of the 19th-century central downtown. Other terms for these areas include suburban activity centers, megacenters, and suburban business districts.[1] These districts have now developed in many countries. Urban economics is broadly the economic study of urban areas; as such, it involves using the tools of economics to analyze urban issues such as crime, education, public transit, housing, and local government finance. More specifically, it is a branch of microeconomics that studies the urban spatial structure and the location of households and firms (Quigley 2008).

SUN CHURCH PRACTICE
The Nicene Creed (/ˈnaɪsiːn/; Koinē Greek: Σύμβολον τῆς Νικαίας, romanized: Sýmvolon tis Nikéas), also called the Creed of Constantinople,[1] is the defining statement of belief of Nicene Christianity[2][3] and in those Christian denominations that adhere to it. Although Constantine lived much of his life as a pagan and later as a catechumen, he began to favour Christianity beginning in 312, finally becoming a Christian and being baptised by Eusebius of Nicomedia, an Arian bishop, although the Catholic Church and the Coptic Orthodox Church maintain that he was baptised by Pope Sylvester I. He played an influential role in the proclamation of the Edict of Milan in 313, which declared tolerance for Christianity in the Roman Empire. He convoked the First Council of Nicaea in 325 which produced the statement of Christian belief known as the Nicene Creed. In the Roman Catholic Church, to obtain the plenary indulgence once a day, it is necessary to visit a church or oratory to which the indulgence is attached and the recitation of the Sunday prayers, Creed and Hail Mary.[82] Recitation of the Apostles' Creed or the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed is required to obtain a partial indulgence.[83] Tithe; noun; one tenth of annual produce or earnings, formerly taken as a tax for the support of the Church and clergy.
The Council of Trent issued key statements and clarifications of the Church's doctrine and teachings, including scripture, the biblical canon, sacred tradition, original sin, justification, salvation, the sacraments, the Mass, and the veneration of saints[4] and also issued condemnations of what it defined to be heresies committed by proponents of Protestantism. The consequences of the council were also significant with regard to the Church's liturgy and censorship.

Nzambi a Mpungu (also Nzambi and Nzambi Mpungu) is the Supreme God, eternal Sky Father and God of the Sun (fire) in traditional Kongo spirituality.[1] His female counterpart is Nzambici, the Sky Mother and Goddess of the Moon. Among other Central African Bantu peoples, such as the Chokwe, and in the Kingdom of Ndongo, Nzambi Mpungu was also called Kalunga, the god of fire and change. This may have a connection to an element of Bakongo cosmology called Kalûnga. It was seen as the spark of fire that begot all life in the universe.[1] After Portuguese colonization, Nzambi Mpungu became synonymous with the Christian God and existed chiefly as the Creator God.[2]

Possessive invocation may be attempted singly or, as is often the case in Wicca, in pairs - with one person doing the invocation (reciting the liturgy or prayers and acting as anchor), and the other person being invoked (allowing themselves to become a vessel for the spirit or deity).
Automatic writing, also called psychography, is a claimed psychic ability allowing a person to produce written words without consciously writing. Practitioners engage in automatic writing by holding a writing instrument and allowing alleged spirits to manipulate the practitioner's hand.

In a later extended sense in intertestamental Jewish literature, the abyss was the underworld, either the abode of the dead (Sheol) or eventually the realm of the rebellious spirits (fallen angels) (Hell). In the latter sense, specifically, the abyss was often seen as a prison for demons.
In this example, the adept must surrender all, including the guidance of his Holy Guardian Angel, and leap into the Abyss.
A tutelary (/ˈtjuːtəlɛri/; also tutelar) is a deity or a spirit who is a guardian, patron, or protector of a particular place, geographic feature, person, lineage, nation, culture, or occupation. The etymology of "tutelary" expresses the concept of safety and thus of guardianship. A radiant or radiate crown, also known as a solar crown, sun crown, Eastern crown, or tyrant's crown, is a crown, wreath, diadem, or other headgear symbolizing the Sun or more generally powers associated with the Sun. Apart from the Ancient Egyptian form of a disc between two horns, it is shaped with a number of narrowing bands going outwards from the wearer's head, to represent the rays of the Sun. These may be represented either as flat, on the same plane as the circlet of the crown, or rising at right angles to it.
Thomism is the philosophical and theological school which arose as a legacy of the work and thought of Thomas Aquinas (1225–1274), the Dominican philosopher, theologian, and Doctor of the Church.
Augustine of Hippo, who converted from Manichaeism to Christianity, criticised the Manichaeans for polytheism and paganism, stating that Manichaeans, due to their dualistic cosmology, believe in two different deities. The Manichaean bishop Faustus of Mileve defends Manichaeism by stating that Catholics erroneously assume that the Prince of Darkness had a divine essence, while in fact, the Prince of Darkness does not share any attributes with the Divine, thus Manichaeism would not worship multiple gods, but rather one true god.[2] They are both two different principles: although eternally existing, clearly distinct. Only the light particles within humans are consubstantial to the Divine.

Augustine of Hippo (/ɔːˈɡʌstɪn/ aw-GUST-in, US also /ˈɔːɡəstiːn/ AW-gə-steen;[22] Latin: Aurelius Augustinus Hipponensis; 13 November 354 – 28 August 430),[23] also known as Saint Augustine, was a theologian and philosopher of Berber origin and the bishop of Hippo Regius in Numidia, Roman North Africa. His writings influenced the development of Western philosophy and Western Christianity, and he is viewed as one of the most important Church Fathers of the Latin Church in the Patristic Period. His many important works include The City of God, On Christian Doctrine, and Confessions.
Thomas Aquinas OP (/əˈkwaɪnəs/ ⓘ ə-KWY-nəs; Italian: Tommaso d'Aquino, lit. 'Thomas of Aquino'; c. 1225 – 7 March 1274) was an Italian[6] Dominican friar and priest, the foremost Scholastic thinker[7], as well one of the most influential philosophers and theologians in the Western tradition.[8] He was from the county of Aquino in the Kingdom of Sicily.
THE ARABA, CHIEF PRIEST OF IFA: "YORUBA RELIGION AT THE CROSSROADS”
Ifarinwale Ogundiran ("The Araba")
The Araba is the Chief Priest of Ifa, a traditional Yoruba religion, of the town of Modakeke, Nigeria. He has worked with scholars from American and European universities conducting research on his life and Yoruba religions. The visit incorporated dance and drum performance of various orisa rhythms, and a discussion of the Yoruba religion's inclusive cosmology and the challenges it faces in the increasingly exclusive religious landscape of contemporary Nigeria.
BABALAWOS
Babalawos are key custodians of the Ifa system, preserving and transmitting Yoruba cultural heritage through oral tradition, rituals, and ceremonies. This system provides a framework for understanding morality, human relationships, and the world at large. As spiritual leaders and diviners, Babalawos offer guidance to individuals and communities by employing the Ifa divination process, addressing various aspects of life such as health, relationships, and career choices.
The Babalawos are believed to ascertain the future of their clients through communication with Ifá. This is done through the interpretation of either the patterns of the divining chain known as Opele, or the sacred palm nuts called Ikin, on the traditionally wooden divination tray called Opon Ifá. In addition to this, some of them also perform divination services on behalf of the kings and paramount chiefs of the Yoruba people. These figures, holders of chieftaincy titles like Araba and Oluwo Ifa in their own right, are members of the recognised aristocracies of the various Yoruba traditional states.

Intercessory Prayer with a Conscious Vessel and KABBA NICENE as Religious Identity
In the Roman Catholic Church, to obtain the plenary indulgence once a day, it is necessary to visit a church or oratory to which the indulgence is attached and the recitation of the Sunday prayers, Creed and Hail Mary.[82] Recitation of the Apostles' Creed or the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed is required to obtain a partial indulgence.[83]
The Nicene Creed (/ˈnaɪsiːn/; Koinē Greek: Σύμβολον τῆς Νικαίας, romanized: Sýmvolon tis Nikéas), also called the Creed of Constantinople,[1] is the defining statement of belief of Nicene Christianity[2][3] and in those Christian denominations that adhere to it. The original Nicene Creed was first adopted at the First Council of Nicaea in 325.
KABBALISTIC TEXT
The Zohar (Hebrew: זֹהַר, Zōhar, lit. "Splendor" or "Radiance"[a]) is a foundational work of Kabbalistic literature.[1] It is a group of books including commentary on the mystical aspects of the Torah (the five books of Moses) and scriptural interpretations as well as material on mysticism, mythical cosmogony, and mystical psychology. The Zohar contains discussions of the nature of God, the origin and structure of the universe, the nature of souls, redemption, the relationship of ego[citation needed] to darkness and "true self" to "the light of God".
The godhood self sought by left-hand path followers is represented by the qliphah Thaumiel in the Tree of Knowledge.[4]
In the Zohar, Lurianic Kabbalah, and Hermetic Qabalah, the qlippoth (Hebrew: קְלִיפּוֹת, romanized: qəlīppōṯ, originally Jewish Babylonian Aramaic: קְלִיפִּין, romanized: qəlīppīn, plural of קְלִפָּה qəlīppā; literally "peels", "shells", or "husks"), are the representation of evil or impure spiritual forces in Jewish mysticism, the opposites of the Sefirot.[1][2] The realm of evil is called Sitra Achra (Jewish Babylonian Aramaic: סִטְרָא אַחְרָא, romanized: sīṭrāʾ ʾaḥrāʾ, lit. 'The Other Side') in Kabbalistic texts.
Regardie and Crowley
According to Aleister Crowley, the three evil forms (before Samael), are said to be Qemetial, Belial, and Othiel.[15]
Crowley (who calls them "Orders of Qliphoth")[16] and Israel Regardie[17] list the qlippoth and their associated sephiroth on the tree of life as:
Thaumiel, associated with Kether
Ghogiel, associated with Chokmah
Satariel, associated with Binah
Agshekeloh, associated with Chesed
Golohab, associated with Geburah
Tagiriron, associated with Tiphareth
Gharab Tzerek, associated with Netzach
Samael, associated with Hod
Gamaliel, associated with Yesod
Lilith, associated with Malkuth.
The Kabbalistic angels, also known as the Angels of the Shem HaMephorash, are 72 celestial spirits whose names are derived from the 72-fold name of the Hebrew god as found in the Book of Exodus.
TUTELARY DEITY
A radiant or radiate crown, also known as a solar crown, sun crown, Eastern crown, or tyrant's crown, is a crown, wreath, diadem, or other headgear symbolizing the Sun or more generally powers associated with the Sun.
DIASPORA
Odinani, also known as Odinala, Omenala, Odinana, and Omenana[1] (Igbo: Ọdịnanị/Ọ̀dị̀nàlà), is the traditional cultural belief and practice of the Igbo people of south east Nigeria.[2] These terms, as used here in the Igbo language, are synonymous with the traditional Igbo "religious system" which was not considered separate from the social norms of ancient or traditional Igbo societies. Theocratic in nature, spirituality played a huge role in their everyday lives. Although it has largely been syncretised with Catholicism, the indigenous belief system remains in strong effect among the rural, village and diaspora populations of the Igbo. (Nigerian ASĖ; Chicago and Ethiopia)
JEWS I PROTECT
Proponents of the Kenite hypothesis explain this inconsistency as a preserved implication that the cult of Yahweh said to have been created by Moses had a known pre-history. Further indirect support for the Kenites being the true bearers of the Yahwistic faith is taken from the positive portrayal of Kenites in the rest of the Tanakh. Kenites and some groups closely associated with them appear to have been known as fervid devotees of their god Yahweh, even during times when Yahweh's own chosen people, the Israelites, had at large abandoned his worship.

Hi Stormy~ I'm a relatively new army, and I've been digging through old stuffs for the past few months. Recently I find some of the lives quite enjoyable, but there are so many of them and most are quite long. Do you have some favorite moments of the members' lives that are definitely worth checking out?
To give some examples here are some of my favorite moments (just very simple things):
JK singing, watching Jimin contents, giving song recommendations
Hobi walking in the park
Jin playing guitar with Jimin singing in eat Jin (2017/04/23)
Jimin freestyle dancing in this year's Hobi birthday live
Jimin building home for marimo Suga
Btw, I know it's really late to say this, but I really love RM's Indigo album. I didn't enjoy rap music before getting into BTS, so I didn't check out the album earlier other than knowing the cover arts and photoshoots are beautiful. I randomly came across “Lonely” and fell in love with the whole album. It's really different from what I originally imagined. It really is an album worth keeping for decades.
I love your blog and your in-depth posts! Thank you~
Hi baby army! You picked great vlives as ones you really enjoy!
Some of my personal favorites include the Agust D D2 vlive. Honestly, one of my favorites just to listen to this man talk at me
youtube
The Vminkook LA live, there were 3 parts lol

Namjoons birthday party live lol

JinKiMin Dance Party lol

Good Kid, m.A.A.d City Review
GKMC is an album that is considered one of the greatest hip-hop/rap albums of all time. And I can strongly agree with that. I would also call TPAB the same thing. But it already has the title of “Best album ever”. Which is true, it is the greatest album ever made. But I’m here to talk about TPAB. I’m here for GKMC and why I think it’s a perfect album.
1. Sharaine a.k.a Master Splinter’s Daughter
This is an amazing song to start off the Album. But most importantly, this starts the whole story this whole album tells from start to finish. It starts off a tape playing with boys praying to god. Then Kendrick sings about taking his momma’s van and going to the girl I can’t spell out’s place to have sex. But he really likes her so it’s different. He stops singing and a voicemail of Kendrick’s mother starts playing. She tells Kendrick to come back home, that she needs to go to an appointment later while Kendrick’s father is talking about dominoes pizza. He then tells his wife that she’s killing her vibe. Then it goes into… 10/10.
2. Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe
This is a banger for the aux in the car. It’s really catchy while being unique and fun with Kendrick singing about his place in the music industry and how the industry is changing and how he doesn’t like that. But it’s still an iconic piece of art in Kendrick’s Discography. At the end of the song, Kendrick’s Hood friends come by and tell him to hope in and ready up his freestyles. 10/10.
3. Backseat Freestyle
I don’t know how. But this song is so natural and feels like Kendrick is actually free-styling while also sounding like he wrote it as well. Kendrick is a lyrical genius! I know most of the words to this song. I love it! 10/10.
4. The Art Of Peer Pressure
I feel like with every album Kendrick releases, there’s always a song that tells a story through the lyrics and makes it so damn fucking amazing. Also, the intro is the best intro to a song I have heard in a long time. Following after the previous song, Kendrick is peer pressured into breaking into and robbing the house they pull up to. After that, Kendrick gets back in his mother’s van and goes back towards Sherane’s house. 11/10.
5. Money Trees (feat. Jay Rock)
I found this song from TikTok and I wish I hadn’t. Because this is much more than some song someone lip-synced to on TikTok of all things. This a great ass song with the Jay Rock feature being one of the best things for this song. Without him, it would’ve been different. I love this song, I love this album. It’s just so incredible! At the end of the song, Kendrick’s mom sends another voice message saying that she just wants to get out of the house at that point because Kendrick’s father is acting very weird. Singing about K-Dot’s mother’s fat ass. He then remembers the domino’s from before. 10/10.
6. Poetic Justice (feat. Drake)
This… yeah… even after the beef, I still think this song is as amazing as I still think of it as. And Drake isn’t terrible yet at the time. Kendrick decides to go back to Sherane’s, but he is stopped by two dudes in black hoodies who jump him. 10/10.
7. Good Kid
This song is very underrated. It’s a great song. I love it. It’s about Kendrick’s thoughts after being jumped and how he’s a good kid in this mad city. 9.5/10.
8. m.A.A.d City
Now this! Is a top 5 Kendrick Lamar song right here! I’m married to this song and I’ll be living with it in my heart till I die and get buried 6 feet under. The intro. The lyrics. The beats! The beat switch! The last moment of the song!!! This is perfect! Everything about this is perfect! At the end of the song, Kendrick and his friends all drink alcohol together after what happened. 11/10.
9. Swimming Pools (Drank) (Extended Version)
This and the normal version are basically the same, except for the audio recording at the end. But it doesn’t matter, these two are so good as they should. And I love them. Also, another iconic Kendrick song. After they have a few drinks, a car drives by and starts shooting at them. They shoot back but in the end. One of their friends, Dave, is dead. 10/10.
10. Sing About Me, I’m Dying Of Thirst
This. Is. A. perfect song. It goes for over 12 minutes. Yet, not a single second goes to waste or made worse by anything else. It’s actually two songs in one. But they’re both combined into one anyway. In Sing About Me, Kendrick sings about if people Will about him when he dies after experiencing near death and the loss of his friend. And I also think that he sings from one of his friend’s POVs. In I’m Dying Of Thirst, Kendrick sings about how he’s tired of running away. At the end of the song, an old lady comes up to them and say that they are dying of thirst. And that they need holy water to wash away their sins. They pray the same words as the beginning of the album. Connecting everything together to make sense of everything so far. They do that and they are given a new chance to be real. This song can’t be explained with words. It’s perfect. 12/10.
11. Real
This is another underrated song that people should appreciate more. There’s not much else to say except that it’s as great as the rest of this album. Kendrick’s dad sends Kendrick a voice message saying that he’s sorry for the loss of his friend. Then Kendrick’s mother does the same thing except she says that she loves him and hopes for him to come back by tomorrow. She says goodbye. The tape ends and reverses backwards. 9/10.
12. Compton (feat. Dr. Dre)
This is the most underrated song of this entire album. I love this song so much. It’s fun and the auto tuned note thing at the end was just so… Perfect… at the end of the song, Kendrick takes the keys to the van and yells out to his mother that he’ll be back. Ending at the beginning. 11/10.
Edit: I wrote this all on my notes app to get the version I felt that expressed my thoughts about this masterpiece. I changed a few things and changed almost everything about my review of Poetic Justice. I can’t wait to talk about my favourite album ever next. Also, I would’ve added the deluxe songs, but decided to just stick to the main material.
Overall: this album is perfect. I love everything about it and I just wanna listen to the whole thing from the beginning again. I’m going to give this album… a 11/10.

oh yk if you have another ask like that sitting in your inbox maybe i did remember to send it before lol. whatever either way i appreciate your choices because goddamn i can’t breathe after looking at that post. i swear if he was taller (personally i think his height makes him more attractive but that’s just me i guess) he would be all over peoples lists of most attractive men he is GORGEOUS. i’ve got another question if you feel like thinking about it: what are your favorite voices and weird little noises he makes in his songs? i love the vocal choices he makes it adds so much texture to his music (plus i think it’s cute but um anyway)
hed def be more popular if he was tall hes already buff and pretty but such is the life of a short king smh. im glad you enjoyed the pics lol we need kenny beauty appreciation!!! more!!!! MORE! and the voices. god the voicess. they get me so bad bro i dont know if i should make this list (lying) (wants to make it)
alright so i was legit taken aback by his voice in Kings Dead because effects and filters and whatnot aside his voice sounds like BROKEN GLASS. its so crazy interesting to me how does he do that. hes giving me synesthesia like what.
he sometimes increases his accent and it feels like gravity tripled in force. when he hits that put the wrong label on me flow in not like us i scrunch into a little ball like crunched paper.
OH OH ok so in his older songs kendrick mostly raps in that nasally voice or just normal but when you watch interviews he SPEAKS in this voice i can only describe as a chainsmoking air conditioner, its both deep and cold (?) and the examples in songs would be backstreet freestyle or fuckin problems verse. love that voice. i imagine he was pushing his voice into that because its not like that anymore but damn its got such dimension, coming straight from his chest.
OH H OH FUCKK one of my favorites is also The Recipe voice, kendrick hits that one aggressive flow and SOUNDS like his voice is trying to beat the shit out of you. ladies its not my fault that its 80 degrees and my top peeled off. damn he sounds so hot in that yeeesh.
of course i gotta mention his car engine RRRRRRRRRRRR in the live baby keem family ties god it goes so hard. just straight up growling ok ok ok ok
god im going thru my playlist and theres no way this list ends. his voice is so strong in alright. what you want you? nothing king keep going
that mr get off snippet both has him panting and the breathy GYAH GYAH man im done im losing it

[ ☕️ ] fan video … faith dancer’s analysis
faith’s masterlist
note | thumbnail made by me
warning(s) / includes | n/a
a/n | posted based on this youtube series, i do not claim to have a dance history or degree (or whatever) so everything here is either a rephrased version of what the youtuber said in other videos or my way of showing a more in-depth detail on how i see faiths’ dancing
taglist | @lovely-sanie @skzfairies @skz-angel @still-astray @felixsbrat @smh-anon @alyszaen @alixnsuperstxr
intro
known for being the nation’s hidden gem, the member is consistently complimented on her dancing abilities 
the second longest training period in stray kids, of 4 years thought to be put in to the next jyp girl group, accommodated quickly to the hardcore and intense chores that only boy groups were know for at the time [clips of her on sixteen and stray kids survival show]
faith is part of vocalracha, but on many occasions has been given the chance to show her extensive dancing capabilities 
stray kids faith [faiths’ scars + case 143 fancam starts play on screen]
tutting
tutting is a style of dance that requires incredible body control, a skill i believe faith has mastered to the point i would put her in the top best body control in 4th maybe even kpop overall
isolations and body locks are also a buy product of faiths’ tutting skills, making for readable, accurate, and clear dance moves
and depending on the music, her body movements and dancing can come off as feminine and dainty or powerful and masculine
her understanding of isolation and body locks makes her appear taller and more masculine, making for cohesive performances with stray kids and any other male idols
fluidity
smooth and seamless execution of dance moves are again thanks to her extensive body control
[faiths’ easy + domino fancams start play on screen]
but also her completion of isolations, and body rolls are a good example
watch how both seungmin and faith execute the body roll in silent cry
[shows both seungmin and faith silent cry fancam side by side]
watch how the seungmin’s body roll stops at his stomach, making the movement look “broken” and choppy
while faith finished her body roll, hit all key points (chest, stomach, pelvis, and tailbone), and her hand glides along her body down to her thigh
putting her understanding of lines and fluidity to work, creating a fluid yet big movement
imploding
imploding is a form of explosive style, meaning the energy one has is compressed and contained inside the body, making a popping effect
imploding dance style means one needs muscles, so it’s not surprising to see this [shows a collage of faiths’ muscles]
however, faith’s imploding skills can be accounted to where she comes from
south africa, which as a rich history in many things, one known being the dance history
faith's most used dance style from south africa culture is pantsula, bhenga, and bujwa
[faiths’ charmer, wolfgang, double knot fancams start playing]
fast footwork, body control, fluidity, etc, and everything that is used in all forms of dance that faith uses in her dances and freestyle is used in these south african dances
outro
to end of where we began, how her home country affects her
not only as a dancer but also as a producer, being raised in a country in riched with extensive musical history
helped lay the groundwork for body control and fluidity, that many would train years for
combined with her physique and quick learning, proves why she should be known as the nation’s hidden gem
[…]
however her dancing is not only skill, her stage presence is eye-catching
even if she isn’t in the center stage still draws viewers' eyes cause of her aura alone
stray kids being noted as concept chameleons, faith is not exempted from the skill, pulling off covers like fancy by twice or bang, bang, bang by big bang
her rapping and singing skills help transition in many songs, meshing well with the other members
shows she is not just ‘the female member of stray kids’ and that stray kids are a well-oiled machine that works together, and each member is an important part that makes the group what it is

A while back I began covering the history of Jay Z and Nas' beef. I finish everything I say I will, even if it's a little late. So I present the continuation of their feud as well as the conclusion. Feel free to catch up on part one.
Nas - Stillmatic Freestyle (H to The Omo) - So Jay and the Roc had been firing shots for a while and Nas had not directly responded to any of them. Simply stating that he would not bow down. So one day he goes on the radio and he kicks a freestyle over an Eric B and Rakim remix. It's the normal Nas freestyle then he says "N.Y. City, grab a hold and ride with me." He then proceeds to drop bomb after bomb on Roc-a-fella artist including
Rip the Freeway, shoot through Memphis with money bags. Stop in Philly, order cheese steaks and eat Beans fast and bring it back up top, remove the fake king of New York. You show off, I count dough off when you sample my voice, I rule you, before, you used to rap like the Fu-Schnickens, Nas designed your Blueprint, who you kidding? Is he H to the izz-O, M to the izz-O? For shizzle you phony, the rapping version of Sisqo
Summer Jam - Nas wants to hang Jay Z mannequin on stage during his set at Summer Jame. Nas is told that would not allow this at all or any other actions that can be considered as adding fire to his beef with Jay Z and Roc-A-Fella. Nas then pulls out of the concert and is replaced with Jay Z. Jay Z kills Prodigy on Screen by releasing the photos of Prodigy performing ballet routines, who portrayed himself as a gangster from the poorest of ghettos. Nas boycotts Hot 97 for several years providing competitors with exclusive interviews and tracks first. Afterwards he begins to care less for the beef feeling as if there are certain people who are determined to make him out to be a loser. That is until Takeover dropped.
Jay Z - Takeover - Takeover was primarily a Mobb Deep diss. Mainly because Prodigy didn't know how to shut up. Havoc just happened to catch shots for standing next to him. In fact, Nas had also dissed prodigy in a few bars on It Was Written while featuring Havoc on the album because Prodigy couldn't stop bothering people. Anyway it's all good for Nas until that 3rd verse hits. with "I know you miss it Nas (FAME)" then you just had to sit and listen. One of the coldest lines in the track was:
Yeah I sampled your voice, you was using it wrong, you made it a hot line, I made it a hot song, and you ain't get a coin, nigga, you was getting fucked then I know who I paid, God - Serchlite publishing.
This was the line that really go under Nas' skin because it just wasn't true but people rode with it. MC Search who owned Searchlite (Named Zomba at the time) waited until 2014 to explain what happened. Jay Z did pay $2000 for the sample and 50 percent of the royalties. However he only paid for clearance because Searchlight only distributed Nas material and did not own any of his masters. Also the name of the company wasn't Searchlight until 2012. Nas Deal with Searchlight actually included the clause that he receive 50 percent of any money they make from his publishing so in the end, Jay really did pay Nas $1000 for that sample. He just didn't know it.
Anyway Nas feelt that Jay had gotten everything off his chest despite saying things like:
You said you've been in this 10, I've been in it 5, smarten up, Nas, 4 albums in 10 years, nigga? I could divide, that's one every...let's say 2, 2 of them shits was due, 1 was "nah," the other was Illmatic, that's a one-hot-album-every-10-year average
Nas - Ether - There was no plan to respond to Takeover. Nas was done with the beef until Jungle informed him that the streets were saying that his career was over if he didn't respond. So Nas rolled out of bed and recorded Ether. Nas really did start a lot of the things that would haunt Jay Z forever. The big lips camel thing, that was Nas. Nas also killed the Roc by claiming all their artists were irrelevant, just Jay's sidekicks and look what happened to them. Kanye is like the one outlier. The first two verses were gentle warning shots that Jay should turn the track off. Here are some excerpts from that last verse:
Y'all niggas deal with emotions like bitches, what's sad is I love you, ‘cause you're my brother, you traded your soul for riches, my child, I've watched you grow up to be famous, and now I smile like a proud dad, watching his only son that made it
Jay did in fact open up for Jaz on a tour that he was sharing with Large Professor's group Mainsource, that featured Nas as a lead member. In a sense, Jay was opening for Nas' opener.
You seem to be only concerned with dissin' women, were you abused as a child? Scared to smile? They called you ugly? Well, life is harsh; hug me! Don't reject me!
Jay admitted all of this on 'Song Cry'
You a fan, a phony, a fake, a pussy, a Stan
Jay Z has literally mentioned Nas, had a Nas sample or a Nas feature on every album except Watch The Throne
I still whip your ass; you 36 in a karate class? You Tae-Bo ho, tryna work it out, you tryna get brolic?
Jay Z was known to take martial arts classes at the time, he however stopped after this line.
Jay Z - Supa Ugly - If you ever heard the Angie Martinez interview with Jay the first time he heard Ether you would know he was upset by it. Not mad, just upset and on the verge of tears. He responded with one of the nastiest diss tracks ever. Supa Ugly came right after the passing of Nas mother so it didn't actually hit Nas because he was so emotionally numb at the time. It did hit him when Jay Z's mother forced him to call and apologize. The first verse has Jay claiming Nas ran away from a fight because Jay had Beanie Sigel and Memphis Bleek with him, but neither has backed up the story. The second claims Nas had his chain stolen and JT The Bigga Figa bought it back for him, but again nobody backed Jay on this. That third verse, well that shit is all true. Here are some bars from Supa Ugly, it may not be the greatest diss of all time, but it was the most disrespectful:
Me and the boy A.I. got more in common than just balling and rhyming, Get it? More in Carmen, I came in your Bentley backseat, skeeted in your Jeep, left condoms on your baby seat.
That's the part that had Jay Z's mother force him to apologize. Yes it's true, he did sleep with the mother of Nas' first child Carmen Bryan, and so did Allen Iverson. In fact a lot of people did, she wrote a book about it. The thing is, the book was flattering to Jay either. During interviews she claimed that most of the time they spent together wasn't having sex in Nas' vehicles. It was him asking increasingly personal questions about Nas. She claimed that it was almost as if Jay wanted to be Nas best friend.
Jay goes on to make reference to the fact that Nas already knew about the affair but was trying to keep quiet so as not to ruin his street cred. This was the last diss in beef that most people look at and it just wasn't the last one. It did however bring a lot of things to the front that caused Jay and Nas to spill their hearts on tracks about how they really felt.
Jay Z - Blueprint 2 - This is Jay's last dissin the feud. He actually promised to diss Nas every year until Nas quit rapping. The instrumental is probably one of my favorite's of all time, but lyrically, Jay just comes off bitter at Nas, Rosie Parez, Prodigy and a lot of other people. The track equates to "Why y'all don't love me like y'all love him." It sounds petty and that's probably why Jay didn't go through with his promise to diss Nas every year, after hearing Nas' response with "Last Real Nigga Alive." Jay sounds bitter, but he does bring up some good points. Rosie Perez wrote an article for XXL applauding Nas for his lyrics praising women of color and shaming Jay Z for his overuse of the words "bitch and hoe," which Nas also uses, just to a much lesser extent, especially at the time. Jay states:
I'm sorry Miss Rosie Perez, I call a spade a spade, it just is what it is, but you can't give cred to anything dude says, same dude to give you ice and you owe him some head, shorty, it's time to wake up the dead, you sound a little naive in them articles that I read
He's got a point. Nas will do songs like "The American Way" where he defends black women and turn around and drop songs like "The Makings of a Perfect Bitch" on the same album. Jay also brings up a good point when bringing up charities. This is the first and last time Jay ever mentioned his giving to charity on a song. Jay states:
Can't y'all see that he's fake, the rap version of T.D. Jakes, prophesizing on your CDs and tapes. Won't break you a crumb of the little bit that he makes and this is with whom you want to place your faith. I put dollars on mine, ask Columbine, when the Twin Towers dropped, I was the first in line, donating proceeds off every ticket sold, when I was out on the road, that's how you judge Hov, no? Ain't I supposed to be absorbed in myself? Every time there's a tragedy, I'm the first one to help, they call me this misogynist, but they don't call me the dude to take his dollars to give gifts at the projects. These dudes is all politics, depositing checks, they put in they pocket, all you get in return is a lot of lip and y'all buy the shit, caught up in the hype
Jay is right, he does donate a ton of money to charity, then and now. Nas donates to charity as well, but not on the same levels. However, to be fair to Nas he has always been about creating economic equality through building businesses from the ground up. While Jay has purchased business and made a lot of money from them, the number Nas has invested in is ridiculous. Nas actually owns Queensbridge Venture Partners where he invests in different small businesses. As of 2015 Nas managed to get in on the ground floor in over 40 businesses including; Bevel, Dropbox, Lyft, Lookout and many more.
Jay has good points but the reason people thought he sounded bitter was his flustered and angry tone as well as bars like:
You opened the door god, I'm at you annually
Cause the nigga wear a kufi, it don't mean that he bright, cause you don't understand him, it don't mean that he nice, it just means you don't understand all the bullshit that he write
Since I will not lose, they try to help him cheat
I will not lose, for even in defeat, there's a valuable lesson learned, so it evens up for me
I'm a legend, you should take a picture with me
You should be happy to be in my presence
This was probably my favorite diss track from Jay. If he had started the beef saying this stuff it wouldn't have been as debated about who won. Instead he waited until his feelings were hurt to actually say these things.
Nas - Last Real Nigga Alove - So this is Nas putting the all of his beef to rest. Not because he gives up but because he's tired of it. For some perspective it comes from his album God's Son. Nas' mother had just passed and he had actually retired from music at this point. However before his mother passed she asked that he never stop making music. The result was God's Son featuring a different Nas more focused on trying to enjoy life than past problems.
The first verse features Nas explaining how he met BIG and Diddy as well as what led to their beef. In this case it was because Nas was too passive. He let other people drag him into a beef he wanted nothing to do with and this one actually hurt because he considered him and BIG to be friends. He opens the verse with:
Y'all don't know about my Biggie wars, who you thought "Kick In The Door" was for? But that's my heart, y'all still tripping off the Jigga shit
If you listen to "Kick in The Door" that first verse is about Nas and uses the same Leprechaun bars that Jay Z would recycle on "Takeover." Nas never even responded to the track before "Last Real Nigga Alive" because he was too upset about it.
The second verse touches on a lot of issues. The big one here is Nas admitting Carmen cheated on him with more than Jay Z and it was Nas' own fault because he didn't pay her any attention. He's also not mad about it anymore which is a big jump from his song "The Cross" earlier in the album. Then he talks about Jay. Nas was spending time with his mother when "Takeover" dropped and he understands why Jay did it. Nas believes Jay did it because Jay wanted to be the top rapper in New York and for that to happen, Nas had to be taken out. But Nas goes on to say, he doesn't care about chasing that crown, because as he stated in verse 1 king of New York brought him nothing but problems and lost friends. The big kick here is how Nas ends it:
I was Scarface, Jay was Manolo, it hurt me when I had to kill him and his whole squad for dolo
If you've ever seen the movie Scarface, Manolo is the best friend of Tony the title character. Tony kills Manolo after he sleeps with Tony's sister. Despite Tony always thinking Manolo was soft killing him actually did hurt Tony. In this case, Nas had been friends with Jay. Large Professor backed this up. Large Professor also stated that there where three other versions of "Ether" that Nas scrapped because they went too far with lines like "It should have been you who died in that plane crash instead of Aaliyah." So yeah, Nas was hurt and he was done with the beef because.
The End
So that's the history of Jay and Nas. The next thing that happened was Jay became president of Def Jam and immediately signed Nas to one of the biggest contracts in the label's history. They followed it up by closing out Jay Z's "I Declare War" concert together after Jay had brought a bunch of rappers together to end their beefs. Then they did a bunch of songs together and hang out now. It's weird seeing Jay and Beyonce at Nas birthday party or Nas at the openin

But then later it's revealed after a slip up that friend lady is "my friend riley" or something like that bc the man would always say that esp after some explanation and its this 'you ruined everything' moment then I remember being in an open empty liquor store with Simpsons characters and they were having rap battles and who wins gets to slam an empty glass bottle over their head it was two files the bullies were on one side Bart was on the other he didn't have a bottle apparently and asked to use the framed cider bottle on the wall which he promised to give back he was going against the bald one but somehow nelson got around to dueling him bc he wanted to break a whole 'real' meaning thick glass bottle over his head Bart had a diss only for baldy so his rap was terrible (in the dream I compared it to my friends freestyles which are not good) but in the end Bart managed to break the cider bottle over nelson head and broke Moe's expensive bottle so he goes out and we're in a street with a lot of stores I walk around trying to find the snack shop bc i wanted some for work I couldn't find any which was wierd in dream since that same street always had a snack shop but I think it changed into a casino anyway I got back to see my mom she's working at this ATM..loan thing? mentally I know it's for my dad's casino there's a casino on the corner I came from and a casino in front of it and a casino int the other corner across from it between is the entrance to the mall which im in apparently.

Failure on Every Level: A Texas Story
Shouting Lady got on the bus today and we nearly had a full fucking fight. There was a security guard on the bus and idk what they taught this man but the very first thing he did was rare up and throw out a hand as the Shouter mounted the bus stairs. Guys that is called escalation. I know he meant well but I was like yikes is this your job? You suck.
Shouter was perhaps late fifties, big sunglasses, clearly homeless because she had a rolling suitcase and all her bags balanced on top of it. The homeless often have reusable bags donated by or acquired from a big local grocery store. I'm guessing that the local aid groups use them to donate supplies. You can pick them out of crowds.
What is with mental illness and the n-word? What the fuck is it? The world is full of slurs and all they have is that one. Okay, and fatass. They've got that one down. I never say or do anything to these folks but they tend to pick me out. They ain't wrong, this ass is fat. Again, doesn't bother me. It's the truth and they're stuck living one of the most miserable lives I can imagine. They can call me whatever they want. Won't change the fact I'm on top of the world, comparatively speaking, and if they can get an ounce of pleasure out of it, I'm actually glad to provide the service.
But again. The n-word. My friends. Why. I think because it's the most vile taboo word outside of, perhaps, "cunt." It always makes you cringe and sucks all the comfort out of the room. And there are always, always black folks on the bus when they employ it. Sometimes the slur-user is spitting full racist screeds and you turn to look at them and they are black themselves. And you're like wait. Wait what is going on. This is cursed
My supposition is that it's a way to stop being invisible. It's so awful that everyone becomes aware of it and the speaker becomes the most visible person on the bus. The other riders can't ignore it. It may also be a way of blowing off steam or attempting to wrest some kind of power back--claiming you're better than so-and-so because you're white and that's all you have left. Maybe several elements at once. I mean nobody gets on the bus screaming poetry, you know.
I take that back. There's one homeless guy who freestyle raps every time he gets on the bus. Annoying as fuck but preferable. Once I complimented him on his skills, but he flinched and stared at me like I was going to smack him. Poor guy, seriously. I haven't seen him since the winter. I hope he's okay.
anyway today's shouter was very white. She was screaming furiously into a phone. I'm not sure she was even talking to anyone. She was screaming about dying in the heat, and the implication was that someone had kicked her out. I vaguely remembered her from somewhere, which is a bad sign.
"MA'AM DON'T GET ON THIS BUS ANGRY PLEASE," shouted security guard. This always works, as does "calm down" and "have you tried yoga?"
"HAWRAnGANGaA" or something from the Shouting Lady. She was always talking, always in a stream of consciousness sort of way, with every word shouted and the same non-stop rhythm and volume and mood, like an unstoppable river current, so it was kinda hard to tell what she was saying. She never shut her mouth unless someone was talking to her, and the only reason other people talked to her was because they were telling her to shut up. At one point six unrelated people were yelling at once.
"Ah good," i thought. "Hell."
Security guard yelled about how he was a security guard and had been in the military. Big cringe moment friends. If you are, you are, you know? If you have to bring out your credentials your insecurity is showing. Also he's already twice her size and ten years younger, if she's not respectful now she's not going to start, ok
"I don't care if you were in the military!" Shouting Lady shouts.
for the record, he was trying to win by cowing this lady and this lady thrived on anxiety. Here's how you deescalate, for the record:
You smile. You speak softly. You hold eye contact. You ask their name. You use their name often while speaking to them. What has their day been like? What's wrong? Oh that's too bad. What do you think the solution is? Oh, I agree. Lots of nodding, smiling, gentleness. You make the conversation all about them, all open-ended questions. Their voice may not go down, but it can refocus them, make their tones more pleasant, and they don't have the urge to attack strangers. Half of the problem is that they feel like nobody sees them and nobody cares.
You don't go all full Tough Guy and threaten to pile-drive them like Security Guard literally did.
Everyone settles down somewhat while Shouting Lady shouts her interpretation of what had just happened ("i was attacked by that guy for no reason! You are going to lose your job!!!"). Bus driver asks her to calm down. Shouting Lady shouts about her civil rights and how bus driver is just supposed to drive.
Without warning, Shouting Lady gets up and lifts her phone and marches up the aisle to take a picture of Security Guard. Security Guard launches off like a furious doberman screaming "GET THAT CAMERA OUT OF MY FACE I WILL RIP IT OUT OF YOUR HAND" and Shouting Lady staggers backwards, clearly terrified. Won't lie, it was kinda gratifying to watch her nearly piss herself. A wise motherfucker ain't fucking with Security Guard. He exuded Do Not Mess with Me or You Have the Right to Stay Silent FOREVER. The guy was short, but stacked, and you had the sensation that he could flip that old lady and smash her flat like a coke can. I noticed she didn't use the n-word on him. She had that much sense, i guess.
Security Guard and Shouting Lady go back and forth a bit. I'm sorry, who taught this man shit? Fire them. Then fire him. As far as I'm concerned he was just making things worse. Made me think about shitty police work. Fight everybody, threaten them, if they don't stop, make them stop by force. Diplomacy? Wtf is that lol. Imma big man grrrr big cock grrr strong grrrrrrr
It also bothered me--i was listening to other passengers--how people attributed her behavior not to mental illness, but to her specifically. Like they couldn't see the reason for why she was acting like that. Do you not see the way she's speaking, do you not hear the way she strings words together, do you not realize that this isn't normal? So why are you trying to use reason on what is clearly emotional? The computer is borked, do not appeal to the computer. Find the root and dig it out. It's emotional and social need. And medicine and therapy. That too.
And then one of the other passengers, an older man in a page-boy cap--might've been the same one from two days ago--rose up and shouted, "Lady if you don't stop I'm going to call down Jesus into this bus right now. I'm going to rebuke that spirit in you. There is something wicked in you"
Me: (thinking) it's called mental illness and a shitty social safety net but go off I guess
Page-Boy Cap starts loudly praying and suddenly Security Guard stalks down there and slaps a hand on his shoulder, then bends his head in prayer. For those of you who don't understand, there's a belief in evangelical churches in the power of healing with the laying on of hands and "where two of you are, there I shall be also". Implication is that you can have miraculous powers if there are two of you or more. Long story short, little public exorcism right there on the bus.
Texas, my friends. Texas
Shouting Lady looks concerned for the second time. I almost never see shouting people of her ilk look concerned. I guess being told you're demon possessed is kinda startling no matter who you are. Also, she probably considered herself Christian too, i realized after some thought. Not uncommon for religion to be the subject of some shouting people. Everyone is trying to impose order on an unreasonable world and that's the crux of faith in general.
Bus driver finally slowed down and she's like, does anyone want to get on the bus behind me
Everyone gets up at once. I think that's when Shouting Lady realized nobody was on her side. She got off the bus in a huff and marched off toward a store to make everybody there sad.
Security Guard got off at the capitol stop.
Oh my god. You know what this means? He's probably one of the guards at the capitol building. That building is absolutely covered with guards fully kitted out in bullet-proof armor and automatic combat rifles. It's actually terrifying to walk in there. There is no reason to have a full platoon stationed there unless you are the most insecure and/or hypermasculine piece of shit imaginable. And guess what Texas' political top dogs are? All peacocking and grandstanding. We neeeeeeed 300 guys in bullet-proof armor and combat rifles here in order to show how very in control we are. We need to protect ourselves from (checks back of hand) high-school trans athletes!!!!
We're in their hands my fellow Texans. We're in these giant children's hands and I hate them

Kendrick Lamar Releases GNX + Video For Squabble Up
Kendrick Lamar surprised fans and released the mostly unannounced GNX album. His sixth studio album comes just months before his much-talked-about Super Bowl show. It's been 13 years since his Section.80 debut, and today he is an icon dealing with usual life issues and the burdens of success. GNX is the first album released on his PNG Lang label after leaving Top Dawg Entertainment and Interscope. He kicks off the album, which is named after a Buick model, with "wacced out murals," reporting on haters and how he dismisses them over horns and sirens, made for an epic drama. Lamar sets the tone and then raps about rappers with fake identities, his upcoming Super Bowl performance, love, success, and of course, the feud with Drake that led "Not Like Us" to become the biggest single of 2024.
Everything is not about being a weary rap king though; "Squabble Up" flips Debbie Deb's freestyle classic, "When I Hear Music," to become a twerk-worthy anthem. Sza is one of the guests, and she joins Lamar for the R&B duet "luther," which is a tribute to the late crooner Luther Vandross and '80s soul siren Cheryl Lynn. Lamar picks up where Mary J. Blige and Method Man's "All I Need" and Nas and Lauryn Hill's "If I Ruled the World" left off. The responsibilities of being a rap king and the attending accolades (Pulitzer, platinum status, and plenty of money), won't change the fact that GNX sounds like there is still a mountain or two left for him to climb. "Man at the Garden" could be his take on Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight" with its melodramatic and almost suspenseful atmosphere. Lamar demands more recognition and luxury lifestyle signifiers, signaling a hunger to reach another level of status in the Western world. Fans are still obsessing over the Drake thing, especially now that the Canadian rapper filed a lawsuit against the record label for allegedly using Payola to make Lamar's "Not Like Us" a hit. GNX's release comes at the perfect time because it will be promoted on one of the biggest stages in the world at the game next year. Additionally, it reminds everyone that Lamar stands out as one of the most competent and creative voices of his generation, not just as the guy who beat Drake in a battle.

RIP Rich Homie Quan
Rich Homie Quan’s death hurts so much because I didn’t know my favourite artists could die like this. Quan was still 33. He’d had his run in the spotlight and should be settling into life as a beloved legacy act, spending his streaming revenues. These deaths are usually from artists who made music before I was born. But I was there for Quan’s peak. His death reminds me that I am getting old too.
He leaves behind some brilliant songs. Songs I love that will now make me think about death whenever I listen to them. In celebration of his body of work, here are a few that mean a lot to me:
I Go In On Every Song
youtube
Quan was raised by a single mother in East Atlanta, a shy kid who was drawn to music. He got into trouble after high school, spending 15 months in jail for burglary. It was there where after watching other inmates, he became motivated to rap.
After release, he met a producer named Tezzy. Describing him as “the first person who believed in me”, Quan lived at Tezzy’s studio and honed his craft. But tragically, Tezzy was killed six months after they met. After this, you wouldn’t have blamed Quan if he wanted to stop rapping. But instead, he reacted with agency and belief in his own destiny. He decided he would start going in.
The mixtape titles are funny - they have a stubborn singlemindedness that lends itself to jokes. But when Quan croons the chorus on ‘I Go In On Every Song’, the title track from the first in the series, it’s with a tenderness out of step with the aggresive way it may read on the page. It’s melodic and gentle, sung with contentment. It’s as if after all the hard knocks, he knows the only way to live is to give it everything.
Type of Way
youtube
What does feeling “some type of way” mean? The hook has no adjectives. Yet, when you’re shouting along, you somehow know what that feeling is. Quan had a knack for evoking meaning from ambiguity. For leaving just enough there so that whatever struggle your going through in your own life was what made you feel some type of way.
I love his off-kilter delivery. He pauses after every word, which builds suspense that is broken by the rolling chorus. And when he feels like being more precise, those lines just stick in my brain forever: “Mr. CEO is what my title say”
Tell Em (Lies)
youtube
Of course, Quan will be forever remembered for his collaborations with Young Thug. Before they released Tha Tour Part 1, Quan billed them as the ‘best duo since Outkast’- bold words for someone from Atlanta. But the mixtape was so good it was true. They had a spellbinding chemistry. They often went bar for bar on songs. Sometimes, it sounded like they were in love.
The value add of them as a duo was never more obvious then on ‘Tell Em (Lies)’, a remix of a Thug collab with Bandit Gang Marco. Listen to the original and hear just how much of a difference Quan makes. His harmonising transforms a bit of filler trap into a beautiful duet, the most romantic song ever made about pulling up, eating pussy and dipping.
Flava
youtube
They had so many great songs. The mysticism of ‘Never Made Love’. The purpose in a song they named ‘Freestyle’. The joyous energy of ‘I Know It’. I will never forget the feelings ‘Lifestyle’ evoked in me when I was a poor student backpacking around South East Asia, blasting it from taxis, imagining I was on top of the mountain. I, too, done did a lot of shit (pass my exams) just to live this here lifestyle (getting driven around while drunk on cheap beer).
But my favourite is ‘Flava’, a song that occupied my mind for an entire week the first time I heard it. It’s so fun. Over relentless piano chords, Thugger unleashes a double time chorus I spent hours trying to sing along to. Quan talks about loving his girl so much he lets her count his money. And the best bit is the second time the chorus rolls around, when Quan and Thug joyfully trade lines before singing together in unison at the end. They’re so symbiotic it’s magical ✨
Today, Quan is gone and Thug is being dragged through an endless RICO case. It feels like the sun has set on an entire generation of trap music. While it may be hard not to think about death, I hope when I listen to these songs again, I’ll also think about the joy those two must have felt while recording them, singing I love you to each other.

I've been listening to J Cole and Kendricks discography the past few days to refresh my memory etc. Few thoughts.
Cole improved a lot the past few albums as a lyricist. Between Born Sinner and KOD, I think he was trying to figure out how to make 'commercial music', so the sing songy stuff and more flow focus over lyricism, which lost me as I was a fan before he got signed when I saw the Who Dat video, he had a fire and raw energy and upon getting signed its like he was trying to figure out how to fit in the industry and make hit music. And I just felt Drake and Big Sean was doing that so much better. Then Kendrick did the conscious thing so much better so Cole was trying to figure out where he fit in and he even acknowledged that in recent tracks and this latest Kendrick diss (which was cool). But he's found his stride as of recent years.
The Off Season is really good, he's really spittin on there. Might be his best work so far? Cole said TPAB was boring. I listen to that album occasionally but I went back to it this morning. J Cole has never had an album as layered and cohesive as this. As well produced, written and musical. I can see how it can be boring to people that only listen to hiphop and r&b, but if you have any depth to your musical taste, TPAB is in the top 50 hiphop albums ever. There's nothing to compare it to in modern rap. It changed the game in the same ways every bonafide classic did before it and no hiphop album has since. J Cole knows he's been playing catch up and admits that. If 'bars' is what you're looking for, then I'd say Cole has definitely been giving us solid bars more consistently! He's also given general hiphop fans more vibes as of late, Cole can fit in on playlists with a lot of contemporary rappers moreso than Kendrick rn. He's been busier for sure bc again he's playing catch up. I just don't think Cole is as good an overall hiphop artist and songwriter as Kendrick. I've yet to hear a song as well written and iconic as 'Alright', or 'Money Trees' or Backseat Freestyle' or 'Swimming Pools', or emotionally resonant as 'Sing About Me' 'The Heart Part 5' or Bitch Dont Kill My Vibe, or just flat out vibes or bangers like 'Loyalty', Element, DNA, etc. I really just think people have recency bias, Kendrick went quiet a bit and didn't make any radio singles on his last project and went away from the industry in silent protest and some people forgot how impactful he was and how much of a game changer his art is. But that's hip-hop and social media age for ya. It's looking like Kendrick is going to remind people this year.
