Right. Drake is their avatar. That's why when you criticize Drake, they take it personal.
Its something DEEPLY wrong with that fanbase.
That's what he wants tho. He begs for blind loyalty just like MAGA. Very cult adjacent.
@DJRTistic Drake’s appeal to a lot of his male fanbase is he was the “nerd” that became extremely popular. So threats to his image can feel super personal. They’re not merely defending him, they’re defending an aspirational version of themselves.
pgLang signed an artist, developed her for years behind the scenes, dropped her debut off-cycle on a Tuesday, and used the signing announcement as a promotional vehicle. This approach is so rare it's breaking people's brains 😂
There was a time where people would get signed based off of their talent before there was a fanbase … and the team + label would develop the artist and build the fanbase from the start.
A&R used to actually mean something
“Nobody saw Imani Imani coming. That was the point. No rollout, no campaign, no warning—just a surprise album drop.
Papercut doesn’t beg to be heard; it sounds like someone who knew her moment was coming.”
— @RollingOut on pgLang’s newest signee Imani Imani (@manithoughtss) and her debut album Papercut
They did cut govt waste.
The problem is they believe the govt spending money on its citizens is a waste.
They're doing EXACTLY what they said they'd do.
Any money not spent on themselves is a waste.
And there's nothing anyone can do about it....yet.
Republicans didn’t cut “government waste.”
They cut your health care.
They cut your social security.
They cut your retirement.
They cut your SNAP.
AND they raised your taxes.
They’re just hoping you don’t notice.
New York officially has become the first US state to mandate disclosures for AI-generated people in commercial advertisements, effective June 9, per ABC
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Whatever [the next outbreak] is, we ain’t ready for it. We still have anti-vaxxers running around.”
“I don’t trust scientists. I saw a YouTube video, so I’m not going to take it.” (mocking)
“I don’t want you to ever forget this story.”
“20,000 years ago, we’re in the cave. Do you know what the life expectancy was?”
Shannon Sharpe: “10 years? 15 years?”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “30. Half of everyone born was dead before they were 30.”
Shannon Sharpe: “Wow!!!”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Fast forward to 1840… everyone born in the world was dead by the age of 35. We gained five years of life expectancy. And every one of them ate organic, breathed clean air… Science matters here.”
“We’ve doubled the life expectancy with antibiotics, vaccines, and sanitation. The three biggest forces operating on our longevity. So to come around and say I don’t need vaccines because I’m not getting sick, that’s like saying, why are you using dandruff shampoo? You don’t have dandruff.”
Shannon Sharpe: “Well, I don’t want to get it.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “That’s my point. If you’re successful, people think you don’t need it when that’s what’s creating the ongoing success in the first place.”
Thats why we keep saying its not enough to say "I'm not racist."
You have to be against racism.
Being against racism means you do not accept it.
You HAVE to be anti-racist.
I'm not racist = Passive, no action against racism.
I'm anti-racist = Actively against racism.
This is such an interesting social experiment because if you pressed a single person in this video they would say they’re not racist but somehow they always seem to accept the most racist thing.
WHY THE NEW GENERATION RAP FANS
HATE THE JAY Z FREESTYLE..
1.) ITS NO BEAT
2.) IT’S TOO MANY WORDS
3.) THEY DON’T HAVE ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE ON THE HISTORY OF RAP TO UNDERSTAND NODS TO
PUBLIC ENEMYS “911 IS A JOKE”
4.) ITS NO HOOK
5.) ITS NO AUTO TUNE OR HARMONIZING
6.) HE HAS NO JEWELRY
OR DESIGNER CLOTHES ON
See today’s casual rap fan does not really understand REAL HIP HOP
They know HIP-POP
a commercialized version of it
That does not deal with knowledge
And information through a lot of words from a rapper that make sense
They are trained to listen to the beat
Or the hook
Or the autotune singing
Or look at the outfit or the jewelry
And since
JAY Z WENT BACK TO THE ESSENCE
OF WHAT THE ACTUAL ONLY SKILL ELEMENT OF HIP HOP IS
“THE LYRICISM”
Majority of the fans do not know what they are looking at
Or even have the knowledge on how to listen to hip hop correctly enough to judge it properly
Tupac was 25 when he died listen to what he was talking about. Nas was 16 when he made illmatic. Listen to how deep it was. Biggie was 24. Fast forward, all these rappers talk about today is pooping pills, shooting, killing, strippers & sex. Of course yall can’t connect.
when he was the president of Def Jam in ‘05 he pushed the fck outta Rick Ross & Young Jeezy over the established NYC rappers on the label. he also gave T.I. his blessing & cleared the sample for one of his biggest hits ever. this is a blatant lie
I will never, as long as I live, NEVER understand how they managed to convince so many people that simply wanting everyone to be safe and to thrive and for the planet to be healthy and protected is somehow an extremist, radical point of view.
Metro says since Sunday, May 24 they have given out 740 bus fare evasion tickets and have made 46 arrests as part of a crackdown on Metrobus. In some cases officers are going onto buses and pulling people off who were seen on security camera evading the fare elsewhere. #wmata
