Hi-Fi RUSH  Track 5: Breaking Out

[witchofthesouls]

Hello, I don't usually ask questions on social networks, but I wanted to know what you think of a story where our human friend suffers an accident aboard the lost light in the Brainstrom laboratory and now the bots are able to see his thoughts. Bonus points if it's weird stuff (most of our minds are very weird), (sorry if something is poorly translated, I'm writing this with the translator) ^^)

One, I absolutely adore this concept.

Two, did you know there are people that think in pictures rather than use an internal voice?

And to top it off, people go around referencing pop culture, iconic scenes, memes, and their favorite media as well as the weird, intrusive thoughts and extreme, nonsensical daydreams...

I like to think there would be a media war between the Cybertronians that never went to Earth and only know beloved cartoons and shows and memes from the weird reenactment from the resident human's mind but with the Lost Light crew getting morphed into it versus the Cybertronians that actually had direct experience and personally downloaded those shows and movies.

As the "I Ship It" song goes, canon ground versus crack ship space.

Does anyone else remember those Naruto animation videos where the Akatsuki are drawn drunk or doing hilarious dances? The human looked up the Decepticon Justice Division, cross referenced on what they do, and immediately thought of a full sequence of the D.J.D. doing the Gang Torture Dance from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

The human thinks of sequences, including but not limited to:

Ultra Magnus as Steve Harvey from Family Feud with Rodimus with the "Nekkid Grandma!" bit

Rodimus doing "Goofy Goober Rock" because Roddy would love to be suspended in the air and dressed in wizard swag with a killer rip on a peanut-themed guitar. Drift has the legs to fulfill Patrick's fishnet-and-heels dance.

Megatron and Ratchet in The Office because he would stare deep into the camera at whatever new trouble has plagued the ship

Getaway and Rodimus doing the "Tony and Ezekiel" bit

So many fire-related memes: Elmo and the "This is fine." Dog.

The overlap of Rodimus in Gurren Lagen and Bang Brave Bang Bravern

The continuously weirder and weirder thoughts on how Cybertronian strip club would look like based on Futurama, Cyberpunk, and Night runner's Magnum Bullets. "Snu-snu" bit included. It's both highly ridiculous, strangely erotic, and absolutely terrifying at the same time to the Lost Light crew.

Whenever a mech does something stupid, the human immediately reimagines the mech in Wheel of Fortune fails, or a shoving potatoes in the exhaust

Nightbeat in a noir setting or as Sherlock Holmes

Rung is "Mister Cellophane" from Chicago

Assigned character theme songs

The last bullet causes so much drama because mechs want to have really cool or badass themes, but no! The human assigns them sex or porn songs like "Life is a Highway" and "Shut Up and Drive" and "Two Trucks," or something silly like "Barbie Girl" or the opening theme to Mega XLR or the sad song on the world's smallest violin to the poor bastard that gets stuck with the engex bill at the end of the night.

Hello everyone, it's Joe the Movie Explainer here, to explain another movie. Today I'm explaining America Ferrera's speech from Barbie

"It is literally impossible to be a woman."

This is, I think, a reference to how, in the lore of Barbie, Barbie isn't really a woman but wants to be one, as referenced by her going to gynecologist at the end of the film. It is impossible for her, to be a woman, according to the lore of the film

"You are so beautiful, and so smart, and it kills me that you don't think you're good enough. Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow we're always doing it wrong."

This is, uh, this is a callback to earlier in the film when they made the joke about how, uh, casting Margot Robie is not a good choice, due to how Margot Robie is considered attractive by most men

"You have to be thin, but not too thin. And you can never say you want to be thin. You have to say you want to be healthy, but also you have to be thin. You have to have money, but you can't ask for money because that's crass."

It is unclear to me what this is a callback or foreshadowing of

"You have to be a boss, but you can't be mean."

This appears to be a reference to the "girlboss" meme, which you may remember from Reddit

[barbielore]

Alright... let's talk Teen Talk Barbie.

Teen Talk Barbie is one of those Barbies that gets listed right at the top of list of controversial Barbies, alongside pregnant Midge, gay Ken, racially insensitive Nabisco sponsored Barbie, and Skipper who could grow her own boobs in real time.

If you are thinking that you have never heard of "Teen Talk Barbie" you might recognise her more as "math is hard" Barbie.

Mattel had the great idea of a Barbie that could speak - and in fact, not just a Barbie that could speak, but that any given Barbie would speak a rotation of 4 phrases out of a bank of 270. Theoretically this means if you and your friend each had a Teen Talk Barbie, they would say completely different things! Or kids would want to own more than one, to see what they said.

One of these phrases provoked particular controversy - it has been memed into "Math is hard", but the original controversial phrase was "Math class is tough". If I am being generous, perhaps Mattel thought they were being relatable to young girls who struggled at school and the choice of "math" class was random. However, I'm not sure how generous I want to be with Mattel. And certainly, she was controversial because parents and teachers weren't inclined to be generous.

This Barbie inspired an episode of the Simpsons, in fact! Although the utterances of Malibu Stacy were even more controversial and less likely to have innocent origins, it's absolutely clear what they were referencing.

Mattel's solution was allegedly to promise that the "Math class is tough" line would no longer be paired with other phrases that could be interpreted controversially in the same conversation, such as "Meet me at the mall" or "Want to go shopping?". Mattel also offered an exchange to anyone who had a set of phrases they found offensive.

Alright we're gonna plow ahead with the Barbie memes and we're gonna do some ships. These ones are gonna be done in pairs, one card for each character, with the card referencing the ship. Send me a ship if you want it done. I'm gonna try to cover all the ones I can think of, if you think I won't think of it, hop in my messages or my ask box

round up // MARCH 24

This March Round Up is one of the most media-diverse I’ve ever published. Two books! Two miniseries! One museum! One telecast! And somehow, most of them eventually come back to the same topic: movies. 

Now that the Oscars have named their 2023 victors (“My eyes see Oppenheimer!!!”), it feels like the 2024 movie year has finally started, and one major Awards Season contender is already out. (Keep reading to see if it is Kong x Godzilla!) Three of my top 10 picks this month are new films, but this brief pause between Awards Season and summer blockbusters means I have time for indulgent activities like reading books and playing Turner Classic Movies roulette on the DVR. May lulls like these between your busy seasons be just as enjoyable with these pop culture faves…

March Crowd-Pleasers

1. The Fury by Alex Michaelides (2024)

You know it’s a good book when it’s already past your bedtime, you see that you have 100 pages left, and still say, “Yeah, there’s no way I’m not finishing this tonight.” I made this my January Book of the Month because it sounded like Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (my favorite movie of 2022), but this doesn’t center on a Benoit Blanc-style detective. At the center is a charming, unreliable narrator (one I kept picturing as John Mulaney) recounting the murder of a starlet (whom I kept picturing as Carole Lombard) while on vacation with her friends and family. I read 75% of this murder mystery set on a private Greek in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down!

2. Road House (2024)

Thank goodness Jake Gyllenhaal seems to be losing interest in prestige projects because he’s best when he’s a lil’ crazy. That’s just one reason this Road House is even more fun than the original. Read my full review for ZekeFilm. Crowd: 10/10 // Critic: 7/10

3. Barbie: The World Tour by Margot Robbie and Andrew Mukamal (2024)

I have referenced Barbie in almost every Round Up since it came out, and I'm not slowing down now. This new book from Margot Robbie and her stylist Andrew Mukamal catalogs each of her Barbie press tour looks inspired the doll’s historical closet, giving side-by-side comparisons the head-to-toe looks on the doll and on Robbie. With designers’ sketches and insight into how Robbie and Mukamal made their sartorial choices, it makes for a gorgeous coffee table book.

4. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024)

Big things go smash! I stopped by KMOV to chat about the newest Godzilla/Kong team-up with Joshua Ray, which won’t send you away smarter but probably in a better mood. Watch the full review. Crowd: 9/10 // Critic: 4/10

5. SNL Round Up

I’m noticing my Saturday Night Live Round Ups are shorter this year, which is probably thanks to a greener cast. But I am always rooting for Studio 8H, and these three were worth re-watching and sharing in the text thread: 

“Detectives” (4913 with Sydney Sweeney)

“Loud Table” (4913)

“Moulin Rouge” (4914 with Josh Brolin)

More March Crowd-Pleasers: Morgan Freeman, Keanu Reeves, and Rachel Weisz get caught up in a murder plot surrounding a new energy source in Chain Reaction (1996) // Before Zodiac, Kurt Russell was a Miami Journal reporter investigating a serial killer in The Mean Season (1985)

March Critic Picks

1. Art in Bloom at the St. Louis Art Museum

Every spring SLAM invites floral artists to create arrangements inspired by pieces in the museum’s collection. As always, this event inspires me to look at works I’ve seen dozens of times in new ways, and I always discover flowers that make me wish my thumbs were more verdant.

2. Dune: Part Two (2024)

Dune is weird, but I love that it hasn’t stopped it from sourcing an endless supply of memes. Even more, I love that a vision as grand as this one has taken root in pop culture, that a new crop of young actors are catapulting movie stardom into the next generation, and that this epic is as concerned with philosophy and the craft of filmmaking as much as blockbuster-style spectacle. Crowd: 8.5/10 // 9/10

3. The Sixties (2014)

And now I’ve finally finished CNN’s decade miniseries. Though these series aren’t revolutionary—The Sixties episodes include “The War in Vietnam,” “The British Invasion,” and “The Space Race”—they provide more depth and insight than a Wikipedia article with plenty of interviews and primary source footage. (And perhaps too much insight with an 85-minute episode about the JFK assassination, which is steeped in more conspiracy theories than are worth mentioning.) Each of CNN's decade series has impressed me with the connections drawn to today, and The Sixties is no exception.

4. The 96th Oscars

It’s a treat when the consensus is that the Oscars ceremony was…good? It’s been a few years since that was the popular opinion! Not only were the winners a pretty solid selection, but most of the bits worked, most of the musical performances were solid, and it finished…early? These were my favorite moments during the brisk evening:

Past Best Supporting Actress winners celebrate this year’s nominees and winner, Da’Vine Joy Randolph

Past Best Supporting Actor winners celebrate this year’s nominees and winner, Robert Downey Jr.

Past Best Actor winners celebrate this year’s nominees and winner, Cillian Murphy

Past Best Actress winners celebrate this year’s nominees and winner, Emma Stone (even though I was rooting for Lily Gladstone)

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito rib Michael Keaton and present Best Visual Effects to the charming Godzilla Minus One crew

John Cena demonstrates the value of our Best Costume nominees

Kate McKinnon and America Ferrera present Best Documentary (though they’re not always sure which films are fact and which are fiction)

Ryan Gosling (and many more Kens) perform “I’m Just Ken”

“My eyes see Oppenheimer!!”

5. The Power of Film (2024)

Onetime UCLA professor Howard Suber walks us through some of the most popular and memorable films in history in this new Turner Classic Movies miniseries. He explains why they’ve passed the test of time, analyzing storytelling motifs and themes like destiny, love, heroes vs. villains, and paradox. I’m still thinking about some of his insights (e.g. there are no good characters, only good character relationships), and I compiled the 275 films he uses as examples on in a Letterboxd list.

More March Critic Picks: A Letter to Three Wives (1949) is a light-on-its-feet melodrama about three women wondering which of their husbands is about to leave them // Naughty Marietta (1935) pulls off the princess-with-a-mistaken-identity rom-com trope with a dash of music // A Double Life (1947) is a killer thriller (pun intended) about the dangers of taking inspiration from Othello in real life // Before Mr. Deeds, Gary Cooper was a more earnest small town simpleton who stumbles into millions in Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936) // Susan Hayward more than earns her Oscar for her performance based on a semi-true story about a woman on death row in I Want to Live! (1958) // Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor didn’t make me cry like the remake does, but their relationship in Father of the Bride (1950) is still sweetly moving 70+ years later // Even if it didn’t star Rock Hudson and Lauren Bacall, Written on the Wind (1956) would still look phenomenal because it’s directed by Douglas Sirk, but thank goodness they both get to cook in his Technicolor vision

Also in March…

I chipped in on a ZekeFilm piece on the Oscar-nominated live action shorts with a paragraph about Wes Anderson’s “The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar”

I also reviewed the perfectly pleasant Kung Fu Panda 4 for ZekeFilm…

…and for KMOV, where I also made some Oscar predictions before the big night.

Again, I'm just generally so pedantic that the idea of me being seen as making a meme reference when I wasn't going for that leaves me like "Nooo I wasn't trying to be funnyyyyy" and I apologize if I was snippy about it 😅

Thank you for the opportunity to ramble--I'm putting it under a cut, because, as my mutuals know, I can ramble.

The fabric rambling has to do with how stretch fabric technology in the late 1970s/early 1980s wasn't anywhere near what it is today--I used to have a sewing pattern from about 1978 that included leggings made from the four-way stretch swimsuit fabric available at the time...but the leggings still needed a zipper, because the fabric just wasn't able to stretch in the way that we take for granted in leggings now.

So while the jumpsuit in question isn't very close-fitting, the styles of the late 70s/early 80s meant that it would have been understood to be, in the imagination of kids putting it on their dolls, the same kind of shiny spandex that a lot of disco clothes would have been made from--or the things worn by Erin Gray as Wilma Deering on Buck Rogers

The blue jumpsuit...well, it actually wasn't a jumpsuit, and the separate shirt had waist shaping seams in the bodice, because the stretch fabric just couldn't stretch that much (it was still more stretch than knit fabrics from earlier decades)

But, in 2023, we have fabric that can stretch a lot, in multiple directions, and metallic finishes that can stretch along with it (although those finishes may start breaking down and getting sticky or peeling off--or both!--after a few years), and that modern knit technology gave the movie costume designer the option to really lean into the fantasy glamor by using what appears to me to be a four way synthetic knit with a metallic gold coating (but not a super shiny foil coating, because yes foil coatings are super shiny, but they just can't stretch as much)

There were metallic coated knits available in the 80s and earlier, and the original Barbie outfit's purse used one of those, but the coating was fairly delicate--it would not have been able to withstand stretching, so the base knit is a tricot knit, which does not have the standard kind of stretch associated with "knits" in most people's minds. Plus, the finish wore off fairly easily--even if it didn't wear away completely, like the white areas on this Living Barbie swimsuit from an Etsy listing

the colors could still fade inconsistently, like this example from Ruby Lane

The outfit Margot Robbie is wearing in this scene is probably a reference to Golden Dream Barbie from 1981, whose gold outfit (a swimsuit with pants) was sometimes made of a surprisingly coarse woven gold fabric, depending on the country of manufacture

And, if you look at that with the right attitude, sure, it could be mimicking sequins, so it makes sense a modern, human-size version would be sequinned. Even though sequined stuff back then would have had all-over sequins and not the rambling lines, but, again: modern fabric tech. (it's surprisingly challenging to find 1970s-style sequin fabric these days)

(the capelet-like thing tied around her shoulders in this picture was meant to be versatile and able to be styled in many places, including in the hair, and the fact that the Robbie Barbie in this scene has something translucent and odd in her hair also makes me agree with the other people I've seen suggesting that Golden Dream is being referenced. But I am going on a tangent off of a tangent now.)

Again--thank you for giving me an excuse to ramble, and I apologize for being snippy!

this outfit

appears to be a color swapped version of the 1982 outfit called Can't Stop Dancin'

(image from Worthpoint/old eBay listing)

[mistressemmedi]

Not the OP of the "Brazilians against Tiffany" ask, but here are screenshots of 2 posts she liked (the first one is related to the fact that restaurant/club Sass Cafe is a place that brazilians who travel to Monaco like to go - that's why the "brazilian bench", the other is the one about old men traveling to Brazil for sex tourism), as the page deleted all posts related to Brazil after brazilians found it and called them out - there were several posts stereotyping brazilians and they were the only posts Tiffany liked on that page. Brazilians started calling Tiffany "Barbie Bicicleteira Xenofobica" something like "Xenophobic Bicycle Barbie" after that, which happened just before the Tokyo Olympics. Before last year's Brazilian GP, she liked a post on another page that said that brazilian women were all bitches, and if you remember, Bottas only arrived in Brazil on Thursday, in the middle of the press conferences, and Tiffany was with him. It seems clear that Tiffany doesn't really likes Brazil, but the reason for this hate we may never know.

The fact that there's a whole ass account called "Monaco Anonymous" and half of the grid living there follows it. The fact that the first meme referenced above is literally a niche meme understood only by people living in/around Monaco. The fact that someone understood said niche meme and clocked Tiffany for it. The fact that the nickname "Barbie Bicicleteira Xenofobica" sent me to the moon. The fact that Tiffany may very well have beef with Brazil for whatever obscure reason. The fact that if Tiffany's feud with Brazil is real, Val caters to it enough that he spends the minimum time necessary in the country...

There's a lot to unpack here, truly.

Bristol undertake Bears title and alter membership crest for Premiership return

Bristol undertake Bears title and alter membership crest for Premiership return

Bristol undertake Bears title and alter membership crest for Premiership return

Bristol says it had “rigorously thought of” its long-term future, which included its title, for the previous 18 months

Bristol have integrated ‘Bears’ into their title and altered their membership crest to a picture of the animal’s head in a relaunch to mark their return to the Premiership subsequent season.

It’s the second time prior to now 20 years that the membership has adopted a nickname, having taken the title Bristol Shoguns as a part of a sponsorship deal.

The membership hopes the the title change to Bristol Bears will “entice an entire new era of supporters”.

The title comes into impact on 1 June.

Proprietor Steve Lansdown, who additionally oversaw Bristol’s everlasting transfer to Ashton Gate when the membership final performed within the Premiership in 2015-16, mentioned they needed to be “ready to interrupt the mould” in an effort to market the aspect in a “rising worldwide market”.

He continued: “That is an thrilling and main dedication to making sure the longer term success of the membership.

“We recognise that there’s a historical past and custom related to all sports activities golf equipment and we’re aware and happy with the loyalty, bond and fervour so many share for Bristol Rugby.”

In a 19-page brochure that accompanied the relaunch, the membership drew closely on comparability to the bear, referencing physicality, spirit, starvation and fearlessness in addition to “awakening from hibernation”.

Some Bristol followers have criticised the title change, claiming it can go away the membership “open to ridicule”

Bristol, town itself, has no historical past of being residence to any bears.

Bristol will return to the Premiership in 2018-19 as Championship title winners after being relegated final time period.

Head coach Pat Lam, who has guided the membership again to the highest flight in his first season in cost, mentioned he “cherished the concept” of a reputation change to the Bears when first consulted.

“The entire spirit is a big a part of it,” he advised BBC Radio Bristol. “To get one thing that resembles and resonates with myself and my coach philosophy and what we try to do was thrilling.”

‘We might be recognized on the Yogis’

Bristol Rugby Supporters Membership treasurer Mike West mentioned he was “upset” that the membership had rebranded itself with out consulting the group.

“I am not greatest happy,” he advised BBC Sport. “I am completely puzzled why they did not seek the advice of the Bristol Rugby Supporters Membership, which represents a majority of followers.

“I am confused about why – it is a membership that has been round since 1888 and is one the oldest rugby golf equipment that also exists on the highest ranges. I do not perceive why they’ve immediately contorted the title after 130 years with out some reference.”

West mentioned the membership had repeated the errors made after they offered their title as a part of a sponsorship deal and added that they’re open to ridicule.

Response on social media has been largely unfavourable from followers, with West including that many would refuse to acknowledge the Bears moniker.

“Individuals do not go bear in Bristol that always,” he mentioned. “Within the Premiership subsequent season the opposition followers will certainly be calling us Yogis, or Boo Boos or the Fuzzies.”

Social media response

Whereas not each Bristol fan is towards the change on social media, an amazing majority of responses to the relaunch haven’t been beneficial.

The membership, it appears, has develop into the topic of many memes.

The Care Bears make a vibrant contribution

Barbie from the Toy Story franchise will get a run out

Winnie the Pooh will get multiple point out within the dialog

What’s in a reputation?

Identify modifications in skilled rugby union in England are nothing new, not even for Bristol.

A business cope with automotive producers Mitsubishi noticed the membership renamed Bristol Shoguns after a sport utility automobile.

Not even promoting a reputation is exclusive within the recreation, with Rotherham Titans first taking the nickname on in a sponsorship tie-up on their promotion to the Premiership in 2003-04. The Championship membership even went so far as utterly altering their title to the Earth Titans for 2 seasons as a part of a sponsorship deal.

Premiership membership Wasps went the alternative technique to Bristol when, in 2014, they dropped London from their title, having solely adopted the prefix in 1999. The title change, after all, made it simpler after they relocated to Coventry shortly afterwards.

Premiership leaders Exeter solely integrated Chiefs into their title in 1995, whereas Sale took on the Sharks title in 1999.

Championship membership Yorkshire Carnegie had 4 title modifications in 22 years after Roundhay and Headingley merged to make one membership in 1992.

The membership began out at Leeds Rugby Union Soccer Membership, then in 1998 grew to become Leeds Tykes after they amalgamated with rugby league giants Leeds Rhinos, after which in 2007 they modified that to Leeds Carnegie.

Their newest change to Yorkshire Carnegie was finished in an try assist the membership enchantment to the broader area.

Nicki Minaj vs. Remy Ma: A History of the Rappers' 10-Year Beef and What's Happening Now

http://likedbuzz.com/nicki-minaj-vs-remy-ma-history-rappers-10-year-beef-whats-happening-now/

Nicki Minaj vs. Remy Ma: A History of the Rappers' 10-Year Beef and What's Happening Now

Though some of you may be up-to-date on the latest in rap feuds, many of you are probably wondering what the hell is going on between Nicki Minaj and Remy Ma right now (and a few of you might even admit you have no idea who Remy Ma is).

Well, we’re here to help you out.

For starters, Remy is a Terror Squad MC who was incarcerated on multiple charges in 2008 for six years and was finally released in 2014 (which explains why you haven’t heard about her lately). However, her beef with Nicki goes back further than that.

Here’s a breakdown of the female emcees’ decade-long feud and where they stand now:

2007: The feud started way back in 2007 and was supposedly ignited by Nicki when she released “Dirty Money.”In the track, she rapped, “Tell that bitch with the crown to run it like Chris Brown.” Though she never confirmed she was taking shots at Remy, the freestyle was over Terror Squad’s “Yeah Yeah Yeah” beat, and at the time, Remy was known for wearing crows in her promo pics and concerts.

2008: Remy Ma was sentenced to six years in prison all the while Nicki’s career took off.In 2008, she was named Female Artist of the Year at the Underground Music Awards, and in 2009, she became a household name with verses on tracks like “Bed Rock” and “Roger That.”

Nicki released her first album Pink Friday in 2010 and her second album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded in 2012. Both peaked at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 with massively successful singles like “Super Bass” and “Starships.”

2010: Remy Ma did an interview from prison in which she admitted she thought the “Dirty Money” freestyle was directed at her.She warned Nicki, “It’s cool. I’m going to get you back for that.”

2015: After being released from prison in 2014, Remy Ma kept her promise and recorded her own rap over Nicki’s verse on “Truffle Butter,” on which the Barbie was originally featured with Drake and Lil Wayne.In the verse, Remy takes shots at Nicki with lines like, “Girl, you should join a rap group/because as a soloist you’re boring” as well as claiming she’s a fake rapper.

Congrats to @NICKIMINAJ for your BET female rapper of the year 2016 award😘

— Remy Ma (@RealRemyMa) June 27, 2016

2016: Things got confusing, though, when Remy Ma took to Twitter after the 2016 BET Awards and went as far as congratulating Nicki for winning Female Rapper of the Year.Perhaps it was out of sarcasm?

2017: This year, the feud has been fully reignited, starting with Nicki’s two most recent features.She appeared on Gucci Man‘s “Make Love” and rapped, “One platinum plaque album flopped, bitch where?” alluding to Remy Ma’s most recent album with Fat Joe, Plata O Plomo, which didn’t see massive success.

Nicki also quipped, “You see, silly rabbit, to be the queen of rap/ You gotta sell records, you gotta get plaques.”

#Swalla 👅👅👅 currently charting in 36 countries. 💕🎀

A post shared by Nicki Minaj (@nickiminaj) on Feb 24, 2017 at 11:30am PST

Nicki was also featured on Jason Derulo‘s “Swalla” in which she took even more jabs at Remy Ma.”I gave these bitches two years now your time’s up/Bless her heart, she throwing shots but every line sucks,” Nicki raps, referencing Remy Ma’s two years following her release from prison.

Nah my nigga. U the goat for this tweet. No shade but this shit is fkn hilarious 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 https://t.co/t7iwntuHuF

— NICKI MINAJ (@NICKIMINAJ) February 25, 2017

And to just really throw the cherry on top, Minaj re-tweeted this meme, questioning who the real Queen of Rap is (though she promised “no shade” was being thrown…).

@worldstar #RemyMa #PlataOPlomo #RemyMafia

A post shared by Remy Ma (@remyma) on Feb 25, 2017 at 1:06pm PST

So how did Remy Ma decide to respond to all of this? Dropping a song called “shETHER” that directly names Nicki—no mistaking this one!—last week.The track’s art features a bloodied, pink-haired Barbie doll (alluding to Nicki’s “Barbie” alter-ego), and it opens with an intro that bluntly states, “F–k Nicki Minaj.”

Remy raps about Nicki’s “whack” sense of style and her “fake” butt and even alleges that she uses Drake and Lil Wayne as her ghost writers.

To further prove that Nicki got a “butt job,” Remy took to Instagram on Thursday night to post (and delete) an old photo of the “Starships” singer in a pair of thong underwear. Though it’s since been removed, plenty of screenshots were taken.

https://twitter.com/WendyWilliams/status/837687471462830081

And it’s still not over.

Remy appeared on The Wendy Williams Show Friday to answer more questions about the feud. She said it’s not just about the lyrical jabs, but rather, Remy alleges Nicki has been trying to “keep her off red carpets” and slander her album, which she says doesn’t only affect her, but her family, too.

“When you’re trying to stop my bag and stop me from taking care of my children, then I have a problem,” she told Wendy.

Moving forward, Remy believes Nicki’s career is six-feet under, wearing an all-black ensemble to the talk show to “dress for the services” and delivering one final thought…

  “My grandmother told me never to speak ill of the dead.”
