hello 👋 im new to your side and im already obsessed 🫢

I wanted to ask you what type of villain each ateez member would be based on their energies? 😊

Thx

ateez tarot reading

in their villain era

spoiler alert !

hii I LOVED this question, I just wasn't confident in answering yet because i mostly watch romance and drama, but here it is

seonghwa

page of wands, 2 of cups, 4 of cups reversed

the villain with a sad, familiar backstory, leader of the underdogs, revolutionary. no shit that dude is so into star wars, that's the type of villain he'd be, for sure (not for sure, I've never finished the first movie). he has a motive and a passion, he's bringing peace, he has a sidekick, he's taking charge of his life, he's sick of what the world offers him. he's only a villain as a defense mechanism, the explosive type, he wouldn't sit back and plan, he'd act on it diligently and call for others to join him.

carrie (1976)

soundtrack: teenagers - my chemical romance

hongjoong

the sun, the emperor, knight of pentacles, the hierophant, ace of pentacles reversed

power hungry! mad scientist, cult leader, evil genius. the opposite of seonghwa, he has patience and a plan, a legacy, his badness will live for ages. he thinks his way of living and seeing the world are better, more efficient than others, no one has more knowledge than him, he must impose or everything will fall apart. the world without his vision is sick and shallow!

taxi driver (1976)

soundtrack: karma police - radiohead

yunho

the magician reversed, knight of wands reversed, queen of cups, 2 of pentacles reversed

manipulative, controlling, brainwashing! never satisfied, a bored tyrant that hurts peasants for laughs, an evil witch with poisons. literally like voldermort or any disney princess villain. he thrives in others’s pain, does whatever he wants, always wants more. alternatively, a villain motivated by love, he's doing everything for the person who doesn't want him because he is bad so he just keeps doing more.

bram stoker's dracula (1992)

soundtrack: brand new city - mitski

yeosang

3 of pentacles reversed, 5 of wands reversed, 7 of pentacles

duality, the antagonist, the traitor, pretends to be working side by side with the good guys, but is secretly hiding an intense, well-thought plan. shows his best face forward to win the trust and break from the inside. has a sweet tongue, can easily lure people into his cause. mentally disturbed, hears voices, distracts people from real issues, duality. there's this old story I cannot remember the name, about 2 men living inside of 1 body, I can't find it anywhere.

peter pan (1953)

soundtrack: columbia - oasis

san

page of cups, 9 of cups, 8 of cups reversed

prideful villain, born villain, trained. motivated by pride, he admires the power of evil. narcissistic, self obsessed, he always dreamed of doing bad, now he gets to be the worst! definition of power hungry, he quickly realized that the good ones never get ahead and he dedicated his entire life into being the best worst version of himself, "I'll show you".

pearl (2022)

soundtrack: oh no! - marina | nice boys - guns n' roses

mingi

page of swords, 10 of swords reversed, 9 of wands

inherently bad, stays in denial until betrayal, comes back stronger than ever after being humiliated. totally, completely motivated and blinded by revenge, punishment. he claims that others tainted his innocence, but he's always had that thing dormant inside of him, begging to come out.

gone girl (2014)

soundtrack black sheep - palaye royale

wooyoung

2 of cups reversed, temperance, high priestess

his villainy comes from independence and not caring what others think, he just does whatever he wants whenever he feels like it, 0 worries. he's the bully and the mastermind.

girl, interrupted (1999)

soundtrack: chin check - n.w.a.

jongho

ace of pentacles reversed, 5 of swords reversed, death reversed, ace of cups reversed

would rather torture than cause mass end. he just doesn't let anything die or anybody win, he may pretend to be on the good side but he has alterior motives. doesn't create trouble, simply accentuates it. his motivation comes from a simple twisted view of right and wrong, of what's proper, or perfect. he has a silent type of power, a hidden, infiltrated villain, you wouldn't figure out it's him unless he wants you to. he controls the structural complex of things, the way they function and the way people behave. silent killer. "I don't need to do anything because the protagonists are stupid enough to ruin themselves".

mother! (2017)

soundtrack: sympathy for the devil - the rolling stones

 O'Shea Jackson Sr. (born June 15, 1969), known professionally as Ice Cube, is a rapper, actor, and writer. Before he gained his fame, he was a member of the controversial rap group N.W.A. He was a member of the rap group C.I.A., and the group ended after three years. After the group disbanded, he formed N.W.Eazy-E and Dr.Dre, who were members of C.I.A. N.W.A., greatly impacted rap music and popular culture in the mid-'80s and '80s, primarily because of their controversial lyrics. In 1989, Ice Cube left the group after problems in the group and started a successful solo career. He released several platinum albums with harsh socio-political themes and storytelling, earning him praise from fans and critics. In 1991, his popularity rose after starring in one of my favorite films, Boyz n the Hood. Ice Cube is one of the rappers who appears in several films and still keeps "is "street "red." He was often cast as a thug or tough guy, but Ice Cube is a down-earth and centered guy. Ice Cube wrote The First Friday, a cult classic movie, and has gone on to star in more films. He will continue to play a robust and influential role in hip-hop.

The Hollywood legend returns as Nick Fury in the latest MCU series.

Legendary actor Samuel L. Jackson stars in Disney+’s upcoming film Secret Invasion. The Morehouse College graduate is on a media run to promote the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) program.

Jackson recently stopped by SiriusXM’s Sway in the Morning radio show. At one point, the 74-year-old entertainer discussed the Hip-Hop acts he enjoys playing while starting his day.

“I listen to music while I’m studying, that I do,” Jackson said. “When I get up in the mornings when I’m on location and I’m working and my wife’s not with me, I can turn my Beats Pill on and play music loud as hell in the morning when I’m showering, shaving, getting ready to go to work.”

He continued, “I got my Hip-Hop playlist going. Some mornings I get up and I go, ‘Let’s listen to Usher today’… even something as off as Trick Daddy… I get up in the morning and bam! Listen to Trick Daddy. Whatever strikes me, you know? Some days it’s N.W.A and old stuff, some days it’s new stuff.”

Samuel L. Jackson has worked with several rappers throughout his career in Hollywood. Both the 1999 movie Deep Blue and the 2023 movie S.W.A.T. starred Jackson and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer LL COOL J.

In addition, the 2000 crime thriller Shaft featured Jackson and Hip-Hop legend Busta Rhymes. Rappers such as Childish Gambino Glover and T.I. have acted in MCU films as well.

Samuel L. Jackson portrays the Marvel Cinematic Universe character Nick Fury in Secret Invasion. Jackson helped kick off the MCU with his uncredited cameo in the post-credits scene for 2008’s Iron Man.

Over the last 15 years, Jackson’s Nick Fury has appeared in numerous MCU productions, including Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., The Avengers, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.

The six-episode Secret Invasion premieres on Disney+ on June 21. Ben Mendelsohn, Cobie Smulders, Martin Freeman, Emilia Clarke, Olivia Colman, Don Cheadle and more joined Samuel L. Jackson as part of the cast.

There really is no one like Ice Cube.

The rapper/actor/labelhead/producer/screenwriter/director/pitchman/league commissioner has done just about everything one can do in the world of entertainment. And to think, it all started with a kid from South Central joining a group his friend was starting from the neighborhood. N.W.A. changed everything, but when Cube made the decision to split from Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, MC Ren and DJ Yella, he set in motion one of Hip-Hop's most storied careers. 

As a solo artist, Ice Cube's social and political voice was even sharper than what had been hinted at in his old group; and over the course of his three-decade career, he's delivered scathing commentary, party anthems, movie theme songs and straight up gangsta shit. He has albums like AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted and Death Certificate that are among the most revered rap classics ever made; and he's dropped club bangers with the best of them. We wanted to salute the variety of that body of work, so we picked the 25 Dopest Ice Cube Songs (Note: No N.W.A. or Westside Connection or Mt. Westmore songs were included.)

#26

"THE BONNIE & CLYDE THEME" - YO-YO FEAT. ICE CUBE [BONUS SONG]

Our BONUS SONG pick is a celebrated classic guest spot! Yo-Yo and Cube team up against for this banger from her third album, YOU BETTER ASK SOMEBODY. 

#25

"PUSHIN' WEIGHT" FEAT. SHORT KHOP

"The Don Mega" and Short Khop teamed up for one of Cube's biggest chart singles in 1997. This N.O. Joe-produced hit raced all the way to No. 26 on Billboard and topped the Rap Singles Charts. 

#24

"GANGSTA RAP MADE ME DO IT"

On this standout single from RAW FOOTAGE, Cube blasts the laziness of politicians and watchdogs using gangsta rap as the punching bag for moral handwringing. As true in the 2000s as it had been a generation earlier.

#23

"WHEN I GET TO HEAVEN" 

One of Cube's most overtly spiritual songs, it was released when Cube had made his much-publicized conversion to Islam. The track finds him taking aim at Christianity, admonishing it as a tool of oppression in America.

#22

"AIN'T GOT NO HATERS" FEAT. TOO $HORT

What can you say about icons who have earned a victory lap or two? These two West Coast icons revel in the good life on this breezy track from EVERYTHANG'S CORRUPT. 

#21

"DEAD HOMIEZ"

Ice Cube was only 20 years old when he wrote this elegy to friends lost to violence. He couldn't have known how groundbreaking it was at the time, but the South Central native's tribute is one of the earliest examples of a so-called "gangsta rapper" examining the emotional toll of the streets. 

#20

"MY SUMMER VACATION"

"Snowfall" in the form of a classic rap song. Cube's gift for storytelling and his razor sharp social commentary are both on full display here; as he breaks down how the crack epidemic in America spread from Los Angeles out to the Midwest and beyond.

#19

"YOU CAN DO IT" FEAT. MACK 10 AND TOYA

As far as singles, Cube definitely had a straight-up party phase, and one of his biggest hits as the Y2K era was set to dawn was this hit theme song for NEXT FRIDAY. 

#18

"HELLO" FEAT. DR. DRE AND MC REN

The N.W.A. reunion that fans had been clamoring for finally happened (with the notable absence of the late Eazy-E) on this monstrous single. Even decades later, it feels good to see the Niggaz With Attitudes rolling as a unit like old times. 

#17

"FRIDAY"

The movie that made Chris Tucker a star and showed everybody that even a gangsta could make you laugh. Cube's first comedy turned out to be a cult classic, and the soundtrack featured this anthem for the hood. 

#16

"GO TO CHURCH"

Lil Jon was virtually everywhere in the early 2000s, and Cube wasn't averse to trying on a new style. The rap vet fired a shot for West Coast/Dirty South collaboration with this crunk hit. 

#15

"REALLY DOE"

The sinister opening track for Cube's fourth album LETHAL INJECTION is one of that project's strongest. Cube is in full G'd up mode, and longtime affiliate Lay Law comes strong on this one with the production.

#14

"WHY WE THUGS"

Cube's sociopolitical lens has never left him; and he offered one of his most on-target critiques of American hypocrisy on this epic from 2006s LAUGH NOW CRY LATER. 

#13

"JACKIN' FOR BEATS"

One of the most inventive rap tracks ever made, this classic from Cube's KILL AT WILL EP is also one of the most emulated. Cube kicks one of his most aggressive performances over "stolen" tracks; jackin' everybody from Public Enemy to Digital Underground.

#12

"A BIRD IN THE HAND"

One of the greatest story raps of all-time. Ice Cube delivers a stellar performance as he breaks down the struggles of a newly-released felon, in a system that never really wanted to give anyone a second chance.

#11

"SMOKE SOME WEED"

He might not be as well known for chronic anthems as his homies who were on Death Row, but Cube delivered one of the all-time great marijuana songs on this woozy banger from LAUGH NOW, CRY LATER. 

#10

"WICKED"

A song that channels the anger of the 1992 Los Angeles riots in sound and spirit; Cube unleashes his fury on this thunderous track. The video famously featured Flea and Anthony Keidis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Cube spits rage at the system following the Rodney King verdict.

#9

"CHECK YO SELF" (REMIX) FEAT. DAS EFX

One of Cube's most famous, and famously controversial, songs, the remix became a monster hit in 1993, with an instant-classic hook from none other than Das EFX, fresh off their own breakthrough a few months earlier.

#8

"WHO'S THE MACK?"

Cube's first solo single features the young rapper examining the game from all angles. As he breaks down everyone from pimps to street hustlers to politicians, Cube makes it clear he's going to a more insightful place than we'd seen in N.W.A.

#7

"THE NIGGA YA LOVE TO HATE"

If Ice Cube has an anthem, it's most definitely this track. Cube gives a breathless performance, highlighting why he's forever going to be controversial—even at this early stage in his career, he knew he'd ruffle feathers. 

#6

"TRUE 2 DA GAME"

Cube bodyslams sellouts of all kinds on this classic single from 1991's DEATH CERTIFICATE. There's a pointed MC Hammer reference, an admonishment of Black men who chase white women as status trophies; and a final thumbs down to Black folks overly invested in the politics of respectability. 

#5

"ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE PROJECTS"

Even though it's early in his discography, it's the song that sets the standard for Ice Cube's storytelling. A frustrated and flustered Cube recounts a tale about trying to meet up with a girl who lives in the housing projects, only to find himself in the middle of a drug bust.

#4

"YOU KNOW HOW WE DO IT"

Cube's first album was Bomb Squad bombast and his second outing was looser, but still hard. After enjoying mainstream success with singles like "It Was A Good Day" and "Check Yo' Self," Cube dropped his most obviously G-Funk-leaning single in this West Coast classic.

#3

"NO VASELINE"

On the short list of greatest diss songs ever, you will find Ice Cube's incendiary firebomb. With his targets set squarely on his former bandmates in N.W.A., Ice Cube unleashes and unloads, aiming and firing at everyone in the group, saving his most scathing indictments for former friend Eazy-E and former manager Jerry Heller.

#2

"STEADY MOBBIN'"

Before his most famous track (more on that in a sec), Cube delivered this bouncy dedication to riding around the 'hood. His storytelling is forever on-point, as he chops it up with the homies, tries to get laid, and, in one of the great rap overshares of all time, apparently takes one helluva dump. 

#1

"IT WAS A GOOD DAY"

There is no other correct No. 1. There just isn't. It's timeless. It's a standard. It's one of the most well-known and beloved songs in the history of Hip-Hop. Cube's ode to a breezy day in South Central, L.A. is the kind of song it seems like everyone can rap word-for-word. That's a rarity, in any genre.

Eazy-E Was Initially Considered for the Role of O-Dog in 'Menace II Society'

Allen Hughes, the director of the iconic 1993 film "Menace II Society," has revealed that rapper Eazy-E was originally intended to play the role of O-Dog in the movie. However, the role was ultimately recast because Eazy-E was deemed too controlling.

In a recent interview with The Breakfast Club, Hughes explained that he had originally written the role of O-Dog specifically for Eazy-E, who had been a mentor to him early on in his career. However, Hughes said that he ultimately had to move on from the idea of casting Eazy-E because he and his business partner, Jerry Heller, were too controlling and were trying to exert too much influence over the script.

"I learned everything from Eazy, but one of the things with him and Jerry is they always try to keep you in a box and control you. And they were trying to control us in the script and I just had to move on, and it was for peanuts," Hughes explained.

Despite the challenges that he faced with Eazy-E, Hughes still holds a deep admiration for the rapper, who was a member of the iconic gangsta rap group N.W.A and the founder and CEO of Ruthless Records. Eazy-E tragically passed away in 1995 after battling AIDS.

"I adore Eazy. He was so giving and so down-to-earth. By the way, great with his fans, too. Very patient with his fans. But I see why Cube left, I see why Dre left. There was a whole thing there," Hughes said.

While Eazy-E may not have ultimately been cast in the role of O-Dog, "Menace II Society" remains a beloved film that has had a lasting impact on popular culture.

THE 10 MOMENTS WHEN POP CULTURE GOT HIP-HOP WRONG

By Stereo Williams

Published Mon, June 29, 2020 at 10:50 AM EDT

After Hip-Hop’s mid-’80s mainstream breakthrough, the tropes and aesthetics of rap music were suddenly thrust into the commercial spotlight. Of course, that would eventually bring Hip-Hop to the forefront as the dominant cultural influencer for the generations who came of age as it took flight.

But in the ’80s and much of the ’90s, the mainstream public’s lens for Hip-Hop was limited. Even as Hip-Hop stars of the late ’80s gained high-profile critical acclaim with artists like Public Enemy and N.W.A. fostering the genre’s rebel image while acts like De La Soul were hailed for quirky eclecticism, many mainstream entities still seemed to engage with rap music as a novelty or an oddity.

Here are 10 of the most unforgettable (we tried, we really tried) moments when Hip-Hop crossovers made for woeful results.

RAPPIN’ CARTOON CHARACTERS

For a generation of ’80s kids, cartoons like The Transformers and G.I. Joe were mainstays of their weekday afternoons. These merchandised toy fests of pop culture played a major role in signifying Hip-Hop’s growing trendiness. Popular Black characters on many popular action cartoons of the day were saddled with stereotypical tropes (there was even a G.I. Joe character who wore a basketball jersey and only spoke in hoop speak), and the rapping hero soon became an ’80s cartoon cliché.

The Transformers had Blaster, a communications export for the good-guy Autobots — a boom box who often spoke in rhyme: “Give us some answers and make it snappy, ’cause my buddy here’s trigger-happy.” Roadblock of G.I. Joe was the most prominently featured African-American character, and he also spoke in rhyme: “Play it straight or there’s no doubt, I’ll turn your eyeballs inside out.” He became one of the franchise’s most popular characters, famously portrayed by Dwayne Johnson in the 2013 movie G.I. Joe: Retaliation.

RAPPIN’ RODNEY

Goofy singles would pepper the pop charts of the ’80s and ’90s and — were it not for its rapid expansion and diversification, often independent of the biggest commercial stages — could easily have pigeonholed the genre by the “Disco-Duck”-ing of its popular image. The mid-’80s, in particular saw jokey tracks like comedian Rodney Dangerfield’s legendary “Rappin’ Rodney,” the Chicago Bears’ terrifying-but-endearing “Super Bowl Shuffle,” and the John Wayne-themed “Rappin’ Duke.”

Imagine if you’d never heard of Grandmaster Flash but this kind of thing was your initial exposure to rapping and Hip-Hop? And it wasn’t just one-off joke records churning out novelty hits. The Fat Boys had some of Larry Smith’s best production values and very real charisma, but were soon devoured (bad pun, right?) by an image predicated on cartoonish silliness of gimmicky songs like “All You Can Eat” and oldies covers like “Wipe Out” and “The Twist.”

Part of the reason some people underappreciate DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince’s legacy as a DJ-MC duo is because of novelty singles like “I Think I Can Beat Mike Tyson” and “Nightmare on My Street.”

But there was a string of movie-themed duds like the Fat Boys’ “Are You Ready for Freddy” from A Nightmare on Elm Street 6, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song “Turtle Power” by the annoyingly named Partners in Kryme, and Vanilla Ice’s infamous “Ninja Rap” from the Turtles’ sequel.

Far more successful smashes like MC Hammer’s “Addams’ Groove” from The Addams Family and Will Smith’s “Men in Black” kept novelty rap on the charts well into the ’90s, but as Hip-Hop became more centered in popular culture, more people recognized these kinds of songs for what they were: fun, slick, junk food.

These songs aren’t anything close to definitive now, but for many, these types of songs were their first window into Hip-Hop.

RAPPIN’ ROCKIN’ BARBIE

Madison Avenue embraced Hip-Hop’s selling power in the ’80s and ’90s by producing rap-centric products. That still goes on today, but some early attempts at rap cross-marketing were downright strange.

In a 1992 commercial, Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble became a rap duo in an effort to sell Fruity Pebbles cereal. Rappin’ Rockin’ Barbie didn’t turn out to be the toy craze of 1992, but the commercial from that year highlights the way Madison Avenue tried to connect with Hip-Hop for the sake of commerce with dance moves and a goofy boom box that “Plays a real rap sound!”

And who could forget the 1993 video game commercial for The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening? Taking a decidedly hard-core slant on a decidedly non-gangsta game was an interesting choice, with production that wouldn’t have sounded out of place on a Das EFX record from around that time.

“THE PRINCESS & THE HOMEBOY”

You can’t parody what you don’t know.

That’s a truth of comedy. There’s a fine line between landing a funny punch and whiffing at it because you’re swinging at something from the outside. You have to really get it well enough to poke at it, and SNL’s attempts to mock Hip-Hop were typically awkward and unfunny pre-Y2K.

Take SNL’s 1996 sketch “The Princess and the Homeboy,” which featured Tim Meadows as a foul-mouthed houseguest of Mark McKinney and host Teri Hatcher. It opens with the warning:

“Get ready America, because next Monday there’s a surprise in store for the Fresh Prince and for LL COOL J. You see, a new brother is moving to the hood, and he’s as legit as they come!”

The skit centers around a sitcom featuring a rapper named G-Dog, who comes to the live with a white-bread couple. McKinney’s character explains: “When G-Dog’s father passed away I promised him that G-Dog could live with us.” G-Dog proceeds to yell offensive things at the couple like, “I’ll thank you to shut the fuck up, and go make me a muthafuckin sandwich!” Because, y’know, that’s rappers!

The G-Dog character seems like the kind of rapper created by folks who didn’t know hip-hop well enough to effectively mock it. Meadows plays him like a randomly cursing Freedom Williams of C+C Music Factory. Going from Compton to the country club, indeed. SNL’s contemporary Hip-Hop shots are far more on-target and funnier. 

As the raunchy Hip-Hop soul of acts like Jodeci took over as the sound of ’90s R&B, SNL decided to spoof the lick-you-up-and-down vibes of acts of the era. Given that Chris Rock is involved, you would think the 1993 parody “Suck Your Big Toe” — a send-up of Hip-Hop- drenched R&B acts like Jodeci, Silk, and H-Town — would hit harder or be funnier.

TOM HANKS AND DAN AYKROYD “CITY OF CRIME”

As Hip-Hop hit the charts in the mid-’80s, it also hit the big screen and not just in rapsploitation classics like Breakin’ and Beat Street. It popped up in weird and expectedly awkward scenes in other movie genres. There’s the earnest-but-lame freestyling scene from Say Anything… , which scores points for authenticity. Nothing’s more real than four white high-school guys rapping in a convenience-store parking lot.

But there were even more egregious offenders. Sticking a goofy rap into a popular comedy or kitsch flick became a bit of a go-to formula. We would all be happier to erase from existence Dan Aykroyd and Tom Hanks’ atrocious “City of Crime” rap from Dragnet. We all love Hanks, but somebody should be made to answer for this one.

And the less said about the better about the 1986 video “The Karate Rap,” which appeared in the 1994 forgotten martial arts film Sister Sensei. And we may never forget the “Lambda Lambda Rap” from the finale of Revenge of the Nerds.

While the next entry could fit neatly into this category, it’s so notorious it deserves special recognition.

“TOP THAT!” FROM TEEN WITCH

So bad, it merited its own standalone spot.

It’s hard to describe Teen Witch, the 1989 fantasy-comedy white-rap musical. There’s so much bad suburban white-kid rap in this movie it’s kind of amazing. Highlights include a crew of bros rhyming their come-ons from their jeep to star Robin Lively and an infamous rap-dance scene performed by Noah Blake as the character of Rhet.

Many of the principals involved with Teen Witch explained on People TV in 2018 how that scene came to be.

“They wanted to redo the opening of the movie, and they really wanted to come up with a big rap song in the middle of the movie as a feature,” shared Teen Witch score composer Larry Weir. “So the new producers I met with said ‘Do you write rap?’ and I said ‘Yeah, I’ll write a rap.’ So I went home and worked on a rap.”

After Weir debuted the song to a raucous reception from the producers, they reshot the movie to include the scene. So they spent more money to make sure this made it into the movie.

“We had wrapped Teen Witch and all was well,” explained actress Mandy Ingber, whose character Polly is clearly impressed by Rhet’s funky dancing and rhymes. “I felt like it was a few months later, I got a call and they wanted to add some new scenes to the movie.”

Actor Blake knew immediately how cringe-worthy it all was going to be.

“I do remember walking out of the dressing room onto the set and thinking ‘Wow, this is really pushing the envelope of whatever this is supposed to be,’ ” he explained in ’18. “There was not any moment in time that I ever thought what I was doing was cool. There was no moment that I was ever not in peril that this was would be just totally humiliating.”

KARL LAGERFELD’S 1991 FASHION SHOW

In 1991, legendary fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld debuted his latest creations for Chanel, and it became evident that the Fall 1991 Chanel fashions were heavily inspired by the Hip-Hop trends of the early ’90s.

“I think what Lagerfeld has always done amazingly well is completely capture the mood of the moment,” explained style.com editor-at-large Tim Blanks. “He listens to everything, reads everything, sees everything, and then distills it into these incredibly potent fashion images. In this collection, you get a sense that he was probably listening to rap music.”

Lagerfeld gave rappers props during the show. “The rappers are more clever, and you cannot fool them. The make-believe and all this doesn’t work anymore. You can’t cheat nobody anymore. I think it’s a good thing.”

Baseball caps worn backwards, long chains, baggy pants — they were all there. It was definitely high fashion. Was it Hip-Hop? Not sure. The looks are undeniable, but it’s hard not to wonder how much Hip-Hop fashion he’d actually absorbed up until then. Lagerfeld proved to foreshadow what would become an industry unto itself — couture fashion’s flirtation with Hip-Hop. Some people might side-eye.

But hey, at least they’re not bad looks.

MARRIED WITH CHILDREN: BEST OF GRANDMASTER B

In the early ’90s, teen stars on Fox started pining for Hip-Hop cred. Could it have been because Fox was the most Hip-Hop-friendly of the networks at the time? It was home to Martin and In Living Color, but two of the network’s biggest stars began flaunting their supposed Hip-Hop cred as their shows became ratings smashes.

One was Beverly Hills, 90210 star Brian Austin Green. His character, David Silver, was written to match his own interest in rapping and DJing, and both became heavily referenced aspects of the character throughout the show’s run. After several false starts, he actually dropped an album — 1996’s One Stop Carnival — produced by SlimKid3 of Pharcyde. There’s also a video for his quasi alt-rappy single “You Send Me.”

But if you somehow missed David Silver’s wannabe-Hieroglyphics rhyme career in the ’90s, you may recall Married With Children’s David Faustino’s foray into the rap game. Playing the popular character Bud Bundy on the hit sitcom, Faustino used his fame to bolster Hip-Hop among the LA elites, opening one of the first rap clubs on the Sunset Strip in the early ’90s. On the show, the writers took note of Faustino’s rap interests and wrote them into his character. Thus, Grandmaster B was born.

Grandmaster B was nerdy Bud Bundy’s rapper alter ego. Both a parody and a full-on representative of the kinda goofs who’d made Vanilla Ice a star, Grandmaster B makes you wonder how many people actually got the joke.

VANILLA ICE WINS BEST NEW ARTIST

Hip-Hop has an awkward history with music awards shows. Kanye West spent the majority of the ’00s ranting about it. Diddy decided to call it out in ’20. But the Grammy Awards and American Music Awards have always had a weird relationship with Hip-Hop, and it’s not limited to the infamous ’89 ceremony and MTV’s Hip-Hop boycott of that show.

You can’t expect an institution like the Grammys to dig deep for the most underground classic rap shit, but those popular awards shows had a specific lens — especially in the ’80s and ’90s — that was almost exclusively squared on whatever big crossover rap hit made waves, even if that hit was by Candyman.

You have Vanilla Ice winning Best Rap New Artist at the 1991 American Music Awards, which led to him being booed at the Soul Train Awards a few weeks later. Grammy-winning rappers of the ’80s and ’90s include Young MC, MC Hammer, Sir Mix-A-Lot, Coolio, and Will Smith (three times). To be fair, artists like LL COOL J, Salt-N-Pepa, Dr. Dre, and Queen Latifah all took home gold gramophone awards, but the Grammy organization, which promotes the show as “Music’s Biggest Night,” seemed to have a narrow idea of mainstream Hip-Hop in any given year. When you consider the historical context, the Grammys’ contemporary criticism has long, deep roots.

Today, more Hip-Hop fans tune in to the Grammys than ever before, so the criticism is louder than it was decades ago. Is change imminent? Hope so.

JAY-Z ON OPRAH

One of the common misconceptions about Hip-Hop — specifically the art of rapping — in the earlier years of its crossover was that anyone can rap. The pervasive thinking among the older generation was that rapping was just talking over a beat, and as such, you got many lame and condescending “So show me how to rap” incidents across pop culture. Sheila E.’s terrible rhyme from Krush Groove was cute in the film’s context but also showed how musicians can sometimes dismiss the art.

And there was the JAY-Z appearance on the famously anti-Hip-Hop Oprah Winfrey’s talk show back in 2009 showing the icon how to rap. 

It also didn’t help that as other genres embraced Hip-Hop, they also embraced the idea of rapping on their own songs. We got years of bad raps from many performers, like the Pet Shop Boys and En Vogue, until someone got the brilliant (we’re not exaggerating here) idea to include actual rappers on such songs. Because as cool as anyone may think it is, not everyone can rap.

Artists like Jody Watley, LeVert, Janet Jackson, and even Sinéad O’Connor and R.E.M. reached out to actual rappers like Rakim, Heavy D, MC Lyte, and KRS-One to guest on their tracks before Mariah Carey’s ’95 hit “Fantasy” featuring Ol’ Dirty Bastard turned the approach into a winning formula for pop success. From that point on, big hits meant featuring big rappers. But the beginning was dark. No one ever has to hear Donnie Wahlberg’s rap from New Kids on the Block’s single “Games” ever again.

Weekly Journal 2 : Travelling to Saudi Arabia

I am writing another journal about my life, wondering how much has changed since my last entry. This entry picks up where I left off, continuing my reflections on my adventures while traveling. This time, I will be going to a place where all Muslims strive to be,  the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, Saudi Arabia. This journey starts off with my uncle, a significant figure in our family, who successfully won a case that resulted in a substantial financial gain for him. My mom, who played a crucial role in helping him, convinced him to sponsor us to go there. My uncle agrees because he's trying to find a meaningful thank-you gift to show his appreciation for the help he received. After much thought, they have decided to stay for two weeks, one in Makkah and the other in Madinah. This made me glad because my friend had recently returned from Makkah and was describing his experience there. He added that while he was there, he felt at peace for the first occasion in his lifetime and could spend the rest of his life there. This made me wonder what caused him to feel that way.

               As the time draws near, the awaited moment is here. Excitement fills the air, and anticipation builds as everyone is united in our preparations and looks forward to what lies ahead. My mother made a clumsy yet devastating mistake on our trip to the airport. She genuinely forgot to close the gate, which caused my father to panic. Fortunately, our gate had yet to be renovated to an automatic gate, which calmed my father, who was still a little furious with my mother's ineptitude. I'm also thankful our journey over the next few hours went smoothly. The flight will take approximately 8 hours, and I am perfectly prepared. I've pre-downloaded a handful of movies and comics I'll binge-watch. Some include Straight Out of Context, which tells a story about Ice Cube's origin and his group called N.W.A. For comics, I've downloaded Tower of God and God of High School, which has around 1000+ chapters.

               After 8 hours, we were near the Saudi border. From there, we could see how their city is organized. It was phenomenal seeing the gorgeous night panorama from above. I was relieved when we landed since my back was beginning to hurt. As we exited the flight, the stewardess sent us off with a bright smile, hoping we would fulfill our Umrah peacefully. There, everything felt weird because almost everything was written in Arabic. But first, we went to grab some food because, as always, food on a flight tasted weird compared to that on the ground. We only bought some bread to ensure we weren't hungry since we arrived around 1 a.m. Once done, we took a bus that would take us to the hotel where we would be staying. During the ride, we were able to see the city. It was interesting to see that some buildings were shaped differently than others, making me think, are there any advantages to that shape? Or just for ecstatic? Once arrived at the hotel, my uncle assigned a room for us. Each room could fit 3 people. My cousin, brother, and I were assigned to one room while others were assigned somewhere else. Everyone slept early because it had been a very tiring day.

               This section will be about my journey throughout Madinah. We started our day by going to the Nabawi Mosque to pray for Subuh. It was an intriguing experience because while they basically recited a normal surah, how they pronounced it made it captivating. Upon completion, we would shop, walk around, and enjoy the views and their culture. Walking around felt normal because their vibe was the same as if I were in Malaysia. The only difference is that they are very proactive in getting customers. Some even resorted to using physical strength to pull people around. This made me uncomfortable because while it wouldn't be much of a problem for men, it would be troublesome for women. Other than that, everything else was fine. The food is mouthwatering. I especially enjoyed the kebab because the meat was well-seasoned, and the sauce was well-made. The frozen dates were also delicious, giving a texture different from regular dates. I recommend that others try it once in their lifetime because the difference in the quality of the dates compared to the ones we ate in Malaysia is phenomenal. As I almost forgot, another reason why Madinah was important for us Muslims was because the grave of our prophet, Muhammad, is located inside the Nabawi Mosque. To go there, you would need patience because many people are willing to even injure others just to see the tomb. My experience in Madinah was good, as I even saw the tomb.

               Makkah was busier than Madinah, not because it had more retail stores but because it housed the famed Kaaba, which all Muslims wanted to visit. There's nothing much to say other than that the Kaaba in real life is incomparably beautiful compared to the pictures on Google. I met many friendly people there who were also doing their Umrah for the first time. Besides the famed Kaaba and the experience of doing Umrah for the first time, everything else was just the same as in other countries I visited, and it was memorable. From the buildings to the people, everything looked the same as in Malaysia but were unique in their own way.

               Looking back, I realize now how much that experience changed me. I've learned so much from how they lived, from how the Arabians sacrificed their dignity just to get enough money to survive in this harsh world to how people act nicely despite hardships. Now I understand when my friend stated that, for once, he felt peaceful in his life. This may be what he meant by it.

Because you’re not gonna study that until college

 i’m pretty sure we all had to pick a movie about social change and deconstruct song lyrics and I’m pretty sure part of my project was John Mayers response to deployment

we couldn’t do em because he was part of the lesson
