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.

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.

No one will ever believe me but one of the best parts about hearing voices is sometimes randomly getting CRAZY battle raps in my head. several bars, freestyle, right off the top. complex, multisyllabic rhyme schemes, wordplay, puns, references, insults. This must be how Amy Winehouse felt

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).

Value theory is the systematic study of values. Also called axiology, it examines the nature, sources, and types of values. As a branch of philosophy, it has interdisciplinary applications in fields such as economics, sociology, anthropology, and psychology.

The term originates in ethical philosophy, where axiological or value hedonism is the claim that pleasure is the sole form of intrinsic value,[3][4][5] while normative or ethical hedonism claims that pursuing pleasure and avoiding pain for oneself or others are the ultimate expressions of ethical good.[1] Applied to well-being or what is good for someone, it is the thesis that pleasure and suffering are the only components of well-being.[6]

Psychological or motivational hedonism claims that human behavior is psychologically determined by desires to increase pleasure and to decrease pain.[3][1]

Hedonic pricing is a model that identifies price factors according to the premise that price is determined both by internal characteristics of the good being sold and external factors affecting it.

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.

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]

SOL ANGELS: HELL EVENING STAR SUN MATERIAL WORLD SUNSET ANGELS CLAN SOLAR CROWN DEITIES (SUN PRINCIPALITY)

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.

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.

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~

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

#mypost #kendrick lamar #k.#askbox #anon and me being stupid attracted to kenny keep scrolling

[ ☕️ ] 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

One of the was the guy asked business lady to some winter ball maybe coworkers event thing just something fancy and she accepted kinda stiffly bc she's not used to that but then we see friend lady say oh no you just started dating and you guys are coworkers it might come off as too fast an inappropriate or whatever to her and she probably only accepted out of obligation and dumbass business man goes to retract his invitation apparently last minute or something bc business lady had makeup on or something,, she live in this corner house top floor I don't exactly remember how bc there was a lot of driving since my dreams often involve roads so friend lady goes to this apartment vacancy whatever not in her neighborhood bc she got lost and can't drive home and meets the woman and idk how it came up but they were having a chat and showing their personalities and stuff having cute little banter and they eventually recognize? each other? 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

AGT Season 17: Live Shows 5

11: Travis Japan. I thought the song was much catchier this time around...But they sounded MUCH worse! Still great choreography and presentation, but they're no BTS...

10: Max Ostler. I found this pretty overrated...He's a talented dancer and gymnast, but that's about it...Once you get past all that, it was essentially just a pantomime to Ed Sheeran's song...

9: Kristen Cruz. Say what you will about Miley Cyrus, but she's still a great singer...And so is Kristen, who sounded quite a bit like her with the song choice...But it didn't have as much range as I know she's capable of...Her fans online will still help her in the vote, but with the stiff competition tonight, it probably won't be enough to make the Top 5...

8: Jordan Conley. I...chuckled...I liked his Disney wordplay bit...But the whole time, I was comparing him to Mike E. Winfield, and he didn't even come CLOSE to that level! I guess it's not entirely his fault; Mike set a VERY high bar last week! But what can I say? If one comedian brings it, the next one better bring it too, and Jordan only brought a small part of it...

7: Blade 2 Blade. I remember liking their audition...But this felt like mostly the same kinds of knife-throwing tricks we've seen numerous times before...Which is still impressive enough, mind you...But I expected...more...

6: Aubrey Burchell. And now for the part where it gets tough...Aubrey has an amazing range! I guess she sounded a LITTLE pitchy at times, but it didn't really bother me, because she still managed to be compelling to listen to (and watch...And no, it's not just because she's pretty...) If another singer is to join the Finals, I'm glad it's her!

5: Kristy Sellars. Once again, it was creative and visually fun! I guess my only criticism is that it could have used more pole-dancing (as it became mostly a pretty typical video-mapping act). But when she DID use the poles, she found creative ways to make it look like she was climbing something else, like a tree or a giant book...I'm thinking she'll be pretty popular with the votes, but we'll see where she places overall...

4: Mervant Vera. Well, I didn't expect to see him again, but I am very glad he came back! Once again, it was more about the rapping than the magic, but that freestyle was HELLA dope! (Unless he just had a rehearsed rap and got Terry to put the cards in the right order, then it IS more about the magic!) It all came together very nicely...Except the last part where everyone pulled the cards out from under their chairs; I've seen that before and can guess how he did it...But oh well, this is still a cool combo act (and a BIG step up from the combo magician last week!)

3: Shu Takada. Through all of his insane yo-yo tricks...the most impressive part was being THAT close to hitting Heidi, Sophia, and even Terry in the face, and avoiding it!

2: Urbancrew. It started out a LITTLE generic with the hoop tricks, but as it went on, the tricks got crazier and crazier! It must have taken the producers a LOT of struggling to resist making this the opening act, because it definitely felt the most opener-worthy...But by putting them near the end instead, I think they have a legitimate shot at being one of the two tomorrow...

1: Mayyas. Well, I think they succeeded in being THAT act! It's hard to say if they're the best act ever like Howie said...But they're up there! When countless other acts create unique visuals using projection screens and light-up costumes, these ladies pull off the same thing with just their arms! It truly is one of the most mesmerizing and beautiful performances I have ever seen! Will they win? Probably not...But do they DESERVE to win? Yesssssss!

The votes will be VERY tough to call tonight, because more than half of these acts deserve to be in the Finals, and all of them have SOME kind of appeal that will surely draw in votes...But I think the Mayyas have it locked!

I'll just make my best guess here...

Ranking Prediction:

11: Travis Japan

10: Blade 2 Blade

9: Max Ostler

8: Kristen Cruz

7: Jordan Conley

6: Kristy Sellars

5: Shu Takada

4: Aubrey Burchell

3: Mervant Vera

2: Urbancrew

1: Mayyas

So, Simon's favorite musical ever is another jukebox musical, and is a twist on “Romeo and Juliet”? Well, I guess I haven't seen it, so I can't judge, but that performance looked like every Broadway musical we've been getting in recent years (except “Hamilton”). Whatever, who am I to judge Simon Cowell's taste in musicals? (On that note, I AM embarrassed to say that I actually find “The Greatest Showman” to be fairly enjoyable...Yup, I finally buckled and saw it...)

Guess I was wrong about Kristen; She DID make the Top 5...I guess a devoted online following can do wonders for you...Not that it matters, since she didn't make the Finals, but her reaction was priceless when they called Kristy's name, and for a split-second it sounded like they were calling HER name...I guess having a Kristy and a Kristen getting called up together can be pretty awkward...

And probably the only thing that kept Mervant out of the Top 2 is that we already have two close-up magicians in the Finals...

Kristy advancing was another pleasant surprise, but there was a side of me that considered her a potential contender despite what I've said earlier...While I may have only ranked her #5 in my ranking last night, she WAS the act I was deep-down hoping would advance alongside the Mayyas, as they were the two most innovative acts overall this week...

Speaking of innovative women, Celia was EXACTLY who I was hoping would get the wildcard spot! She won't likely win, as America has already voted her out once before...But at least she's getting that spot in the Finals that she VERY MUCH earned!

So on that note, let's rank our Top 11 acts based on their chances of winning...

11: Celia Munoz. Again, being the wildcard means that she already lost the vote once before, and as we've learned in recent seasons, America doesn't tend to change its mind on who it gives more votes to...That doesn't necessarily mean she'll come dead last, but it does make her the least likely winner...

10: Yu Hojin. I highly doubt that we're gonna have yet another magician win for the second year in a row...Maybe I'd CONSIDER it, but with TWO magicians competing, there will be some division in the votes...Sure, in earlier rounds, I wouldn't put it past America to put both of them through, but since it's the Finals, most people are going to vote for a winner...Both magicians came in second for their respective weeks, which means neither of them are likely to win...That being said, the endless adoration for close-up magic will surely put one of them in the Top 5...Which one it is, will all come down to which one does better for the judges next week...

9: Nicolas Ribs. I give Nicolas a SLIGHT edge in the magic category, since HE was the one named best magician of the season (at least so far...) But I'm definitely not counting Yu out just yet...

8: Kristy Sellars. I guess I should put Kristy over the close-up magicians, since she already beat one in the votes THIS week (though again, that was most likely due to the two that are already in the Finals...) I guess her biggest rival from the beginning has been the Mayyas...And ultimately, the Mayyas have fared better across the board so far...

7: Mike E. Winfield. Mike's advantage is that unlike the other regular categories, he's the only comedian in the Finals, which means he has no real rivals...except MAYBE Celia; She's KIND of a comedian in a way...Otherwise, he would have to be PRETTY DAMN FUNNY to snag the win...His last performance may have been top-notch, but I don't think even the funniest jokes can help him beat the top candidates...

6: Avery Dixon. Being a Golden Buzzer act, Avery has a better shot than the other acts that didn't get the top vote of their respective weeks...Also, he lost it to Drake, who's competing on the same night as Chapel Hart now, so their votes will be at least a LITTLE divided...Still, I highly doubt he's gonna come in from behind like that, especially with the real front-runners coming up in this list...

5: Mayyas. Like I said, I doubt they'll win...But they still feel like a favorite in this game, especially with the high praise they got this week...My prediction is that they'll get a high ranking, but will still fall short of the win...

4: Metaphysic. I've been having a hard time calling it with this act from the beginning...But getting the top vote of the previous week DOES make them an official front-runner...Who knows? Maybe America is in the mood for some operatic deep-fakes this year...Also, whoever that “rock legend” they were talking about is, if it's someone who can REALLY resonate with the voters, the turnout could be HUGE!

3: Sara James. Being the most viewed audition of the season, Sara is sure to get a high final ranking to say the very least...That being said, what she ultimately lacks that most season winners tend to have is a groundbreaking aspect we haven't seen before that leaves an impact with people...Indeed, she's an excellent singer; One of the best we've seen on this show...But she's not the first of her kind...I'm still not underestimating her, but she just doesn't scream WINNER to me...yet...

2: Drake Milligan. Despite voters being divided on the two magicians, the two country acts on the other hand could BOTH be in the Top 5...Hell, they could end up being the Final 2! Of course, the question remains: Which one will come out on top? Well, there's very much a case to be made for both of them...In Drake's case, it's the obvious: He's a strapping young white pretty-boy with good hair! Many of the Heartlanders will surely pick him over three black women any day, regardless of how country they are! Also, Drake fits the usual mold for AGT winners, whereas Chapel Hart is a trio of women...Two things that are still yet to win the (main) show...are women and groups...But CH also has the hype factor going for them (being the group GB), they'll probably be placed later in the line-up (whereas I can picture Drake being the opening act if he has an energetic enough number for this round), and there are OTHER voting demographics to take into account, some of whom aren't even IN the countrylands...Urban crowds for instance could help them a lot! So it's a VERY close race between these two, but the factor that keeps Drake out of the top spot in this list is that he's not a Golden Buzzer, so I'm leaning (VERY slightly) toward...

1: Chapel Hart. Despite what I said about women and groups on this show, I think CH would be the CLEAR frontrunner if not for Drake...He's hands down the biggest obstacle for them...But there IS one strategy they could use to their advantage...It's not a clean strategy, but it could be very helpful...A little thing called the race card! If they (and the judges) could point out the disadvantage they have as black women in country music, particularly when competing with someone like Drake Milligan, it might...shame more people into voting for them...Indeed, it's pretty low and cheap, but when has that stopped this show before...? But even putting that aside, CH also has the groundbreaking factor going for them! Following the trends of previous winners, they're the act that feels the most impactful and unique, that I honestly wouldn't put it past America to give it to the three black women! Again, it's WAY too close to get cocky for ANYONE...But if there's anyone who fits the bill for the season's winner, it's Chapel Hart!

I will admit, for all of my complaints with this season's format, it certainly shook things up, made everyone put in more effort, and ended us up with an admittedly pretty damn good line-up for the Finals! Even in the singing category, there's some real variety! I guess the two magicians are a little unnecessary, but they both earned their place! Aside from that, no two acts feel too redundant or repetitive...I'm actually looking forward to just about everyone next week!

So with that said, there's one more thing to do, which is to pick one of the acts as my personal Golden Buzzer act! Like I said before, it's cheap, and even cheaper now that I know it's the Finals...But just for fun, I'll do it anyway!

Again, it can't be anyone else's GB, so Avery, Sara, Mayyas and CH are out! Celia is also out, because she's a wildcard!

So my choice is...

(Drumroll...)

...Drake Milligan! Yup, if I gotta pick someone, it might as well be the spoiler threat...And why not!? He's a good singer, a good songwriter and a great performer! While I'm deep down rooting for CH over him, he still has a lot to appreciate, and his VERY possible victory will not be unearned!

So this is it! I'll see you all next week for the big finish!
