Drake gifts A$AP Rocky a $150,000 pendant in honour of A$AP Yams. [Jan, 2020]

The Times article (sigh):
Seven years since One Direction split, only one ex-member can still claim superstar status. Yet it wasn’t Harry Styles who fans camped out for overnight in sub-zero temperatures this week. It was Louis Tomlinson, until recently the least successful of the former famous five.
Slow to settle on a solo sound, the Yorkshire-born 30-year-old aped his idols Oasis and Arctic Monkeys on his widely derided debut album Walls in 2020. He did much the same on last month’s follow-up, Faith in the Future, yet something had changed. That one went to No 1.
Live, Tomlinson could still be finding his feet. His Walls world tour was cancelled due to Covid and even this show arrived a month late after the singer broke his arm. Initially, he did little other than hang Liam Gallagher-like on the mike stand, a slight figure in what could have passed for workout gear, and sprinkle swear words among his basic banter.
His almost exclusively female fans, on the other hand, were up for a party and perhaps the loudest singalongs Shepherds Bush has heard all year. The surprise was how strong the songs sounded.
Backed by a five-piece rock band, Tomlinson more than held his own despite his not notably distinctive vocals. His opener The Greatest was clearly indebted to Oasis, but its bolshiness and catchy chorus meant it didn’t matter. Even the poppier Kill My Mind had swagger, while Written All Over Your Face had a sleazy funk undercurrent that brought to mind Black Grape.
By mid-show Tomlinson had taken to prowling the stage, handing huge chunks of songs over to chanting fans and, occasionally, looking as if he might crowd surf. He didn’t, but the more confident he grew, the more electric the atmosphere.
Copy of a Copy of a Copy, officially an unreleased song, was a rocky monster that could give Tomlinson his first solo hit single. Walls, performed as an acoustic ditty, was greeted like Wonderwall. The only One Direction song on the set list, Night Changes, sounded tame by comparison.
Tomlinson may lack the inventiveness and sex appeal of Styles, but for simple singalongs, he’s now 1D’s go-to guy.
sdjkflkjsdf HELP?? The person who wrote this wanted to hate Louis and the show so badly. This was a harrie who was forced to go to the show to write about it huh (only harries talk about Harry's sex appeal like??)? But they still gave it 4 stars? Guess no one can resist a truly amazing show.
The Greatest indebted to Oasis?? Simple singalongs?? I'm crying this is so funny

There was nothing remotely Arctic Monkeyesque on Walls though unless you count Louis' Yorkshire accent which was similar to Alex's on the initial records. The greatest being inspired by Oasis oh is it because it sounds like something you would listen to if wanted to get pumped for a football match, you know football - oasis?
Its like you got the cliff notes for a book review from somewhere and muddled the whole thing up when trying to reword it.
Also, Copy's studio version is not even released what is she talking about it being a "hit" in terms of commercial success?
Even if we ignore the rest of her review which was basically I wanted to go to a Harry show but ended up on a Louis show because I am not successful enough to write a Harry puff piece, her review was I don't really know much about music and concerts to be able critique anything based on what I was hearing and seeing so I am going to rely on what I have heard about Louis' music from other sources.
Here’s that review, and a translation:
Seven years since One Direction split, only one ex-member can still claim superstar status. Yet it wasn’t Harry Styles who fans camped out for overnight in sub-zero temperatures this week. It was Louis Tomlinson, until recently the least successful of the former famous five.
“I really wish I was reviewing a Harry Styles concert, but I’m neither qualified nor connected enough. Fucking hate Louis.”
Slow to settle on a solo sound, the Yorkshire-born 30-year-old aped his idols Oasis and Arctic Monkeys on his widely derided debut album Walls in 2020. He did much the same on last month’s follow-up, Faith in the Future, yet something had changed. That one went to No 1.
“I’m pretty sure I would hate Walls, though I’ve never heard it. Never heard Faith In The Future either, but every northern band wants to be Oasis, that’s what my dad says. Never heard Oasis either.”
Live, Tomlinson could still be finding his feet. His Walls world tour was cancelled due to Covid and even this show arrived a month late after the singer broke his arm. Initially, he did little other than hang Liam Gallagher-like on the mike stand, a slight figure in what could have passed for workout gear, and sprinkle swear words among his basic banter.
“God, I wish he broke his other arm. Why isn’t he wearing pink bellbottom pants? Heteronormative little bastard. Fucking this fucking that. Fuck you.”
His almost exclusively female fans, on the other hand, were up for a party and perhaps the loudest singalongs Shepherds Bush has heard all year. The surprise was how strong the songs sounded.
“I hate that his songs were good.”
Backed by a five-piece rock band, Tomlinson more than held his own despite his not notably distinctive vocals. His opener The Greatest was clearly indebted to Oasis, but its bolshiness and catchy chorus meant it didn’t matter. Even the poppier Kill My Mind had swagger, while Written All Over Your Face had a sleazy funk undercurrent that brought to mind Black Grape.
“Louis is such a basic white man. He’s like any other basic white man, except damn, this song is dirty and catchy? Even though I know Harry is supposed to be dirtier and sexier because… duh, orgies. Nudes. Titties. Why are my feet dancing?”
By mid-show Tomlinson had taken to prowling the stage, handing huge chunks of songs over to chanting fans and, occasionally, looking as if he might crowd surf. He didn’t, but the more confident he grew, the more electric the atmosphere.
“He can’t sing. He can’t sing. If I repeat this fifty times, I know it’ll be true. I don’t care that I’m getting a little heated, it’s not because of Louis because he can’t sing and he’s not sexy. I know this. I know this!”
Copy of a Copy of a Copy, officially an unreleased song, was a rocky monster that could give Tomlinson his first solo hit single. Walls, performed as an acoustic ditty, was greeted like Wonderwall. The only One Direction song on the set list, Night Changes, sounded tame by comparison.
“Ugh he sounds better than 1D. Fuck.”
Tomlinson may lack the inventiveness and sex appeal of Styles, but for simple singalongs, he’s now 1D’s go-to guy.
“I feel bad that I had a good time. The world feels wrong. Wanna go home and read my Y/N Harry fics.”

A Reminder for Drake and Others: Tory Lanez Is Not a Martyr
It’s disappointing, but not surprising, to see Drake advocate for Tory Lanez after being convicted of shooting Megan Thee Stallion
By Andre GeeFebruary 27, 2024
It’s disappointing, but not surprising, to see Drake advocate for Tory Lanez after being convicted of shooting Megan Thee Stallion
Drake compels the masses like a seasoned advertising director. He knows sharing something as simple as a new hairdo will strangle social media for days on end. So when he called for Tory Lanez’s freedom on his Instagram story, he knew it would garner similar visibility as activists screaming “Free Meek Mill” from the streets of Philadelphia. On Monday, Drake posted a picture of Tory and “3 You,” a version of “Free You” where the three were set to represent open handcuffs. 
“Free [Insert Person”] is standard cultural parlance in communities of color. “Free Meek” was a stand against the Philly rapper’s prolonged probation. “Free Mumia [Abu-Jamal]” is about amplifying a freedom fighter who people believe was unjustly convicted. Other times, like with “Free Bobby Shmurda,” it can be a complicated admission that even if we know someone did wrong, we understand that systemic inequality can encourage bad choices from good people, essentially creating a long-looping form of entrapment. 
You may scream “free” someone as an advocate, loved one, or an empathizer. But screaming “Free Tory Lanez,” is an asshole move. 
Popular on Rolling Stone
Last August, Tory was sentenced to 10 years in California State Prison for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in 2020. In December 2022, he was convicted of assault with a semi-automatic firearm, carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and discharging a firearm with gross negligence. 
He’s on a recorded call apologizing to Megan’s former friend Kelsey for an unknown grievance that many deduce to be Megan’s shooting. During testimony, Kelsey called the notion that she shot Megan “ridiculous.” A witness in the trial testified that he saw a “shorter man,” alleged to be Tory, firing “four to five” shots and then beating Megan as she lay bleeding in a fetal position. But despite the mountain of evidence suggesting his guilt, Drake, Chris Brown, Meek Mill, and others have since expressed solidarity with Tory. Are they saying they don’t believe Megan, or that they don’t care what happened to her?
Editor’s picks
Since that night, people treated the shooting like a soap opera or binary of fandom instead of a traumatic incident that someone should atone for. On “Cobra,” Megan rapped about dealing with depression, alcohol dependency, and suicidal ideation since being shot. Her account of that night was scrutinized by armchair sleuths, and she was relentlessly lampooned by entertainers and consumers. Tory even took part in the circus, chopping a horse leg in his “CAP” video. As I noted before about Tina and Ike Turner, hip-hop has a penchant for playing too much, perhaps because many of its progenitors are so predisposed to toxic behavior and violence that we don’t know how to take domestic violence seriously. But that dynamic almost always turns into disrespecting women survivors, and it’s no excuse for how Megan is being treated.
Drake’s had several weird dustups with women in recent years. During a recent stop on his Big As The What tour, he made a point to play “Work” with Rihanna, then tell the crowd that he doesn’t perform the song anymore. That comes after dissing her and A$AP Rocky on For All The Dogs’ “Fear of Heights.” And, more alarmingly, he’s shouted out rapper and friend Baka Not Nice, who in 2015 pled guilty to assaulting a 22-year-old woman who he was charged with forcing into sex trafficking. The woman didn’t testify in the case, so he wasn’t tried on the latter charge. While Baka was incarcerated, Drake rhymed, “I might declare it a holiday as soon as Baka get back on the road,” on 2015’s “Know Yourself.” Would women be invited to that celebration? Perhaps Drake should head to his room full of bras and reflect on whether he genuinely cares about the humanity of any of the former owners. 
It’s unclear when he and Megan, who were pictured together in 2019, first fell out. In 2022, he rapped “this bitch lie ’bout getting shots, but she still a stallion” on Her Loss’ “Circo Loco.” Last summer, he made it a point to snidely clarify “not that Meg,” while shouting out photographer MegYup during his It’s All A Blurtour. And now, after Megan may have dissed him on “Hiss” (she intentionally refrained from naming names so hit dogs could holler) he’s advocated for her attacker. 
Related
Drake isn’t the first person to speak up for Tory post-sentencing, either. Chris Brown, who assaulted Rihanna and has been accused of over 20 instances of violence (many against women), called to “Free Tory” on streamer Adin Ross’ live stream, calling Tory “a solid dude.” His morally questionable comments are unsurprising. 
Last July, Meek Mill screamed “Free Tory” while performing at Rolling Loud Portugal. He later doubled down, tweeting, “I say free young thug … free lucci … free melly I don’t even know why y’all start dealing with us if yall gone try to smear us.’ Of course, there is a layer of nuance. Anti-prison abolitionists believe that the justice system is inherently racist and should be uprooted. But even those progressives didn’t feel much sorrow when Tory was convicted because of his conduct and arrogance throughout the leadup to the trial. Restorative justice advocates believe there can be a world where people who commit violence can take accountability, and apologize to the person they hurt, and everyone can heal without the need for incarceration. 
There is a belief that the modern justice system, which essentially requires a suspect to deny their guilt, doesn’t help a survivor heal, and the dehumanizing conditions of prison certainly aren’t a rehabilitative environment for violators. Some abolitionists may believe that Tory shouldn’t be incarcerated because prisons shouldn’t exist in the first place. That is a complicated discussion. But it’s also not likely that Drake, Brown, or Meek were saying “Free Tory” from an abolitionist lens — they were just trying to support the boys club. 
Trending
Despite Tory’s conviction, the bowels of the gossip blogosphere, run by misogynistic podcasters and streamers, still cling to rumors of suppressed videos and secret witnesses and anything else that may appear out of fairy dust to legally absolve the Toronto artist and affirm their twisted belief that women are never to be trusted. It’s sad to think that so many of music’s biggest names enabling that cohort. 
Despite their increasingly blatant misogynoir, artists like Drake still boast devoted fanbases who will propel him to record-breaking streaming numbers and refer to him as their figurative “husband.” It’s more proof that advocacy for a convicted violator of a Black woman isn’t a cardinal sin. If anything, it’s the norm. How long will we let that be the case?

Muslim Pilgrims Gather on Mount Arafat in Saudi Arabia – In Pictures
Hundreds of thousands of Muslim pilgrims have crowded on to Mount Arafat in Saudi Arabia. The ritual is the high point of the annual hajj pilgrimage, one of the five pillars of Islam, which officials say could be the biggest on record after three years of Covid restrictions
— Tuesday June 27, 2023
Tumblr media
Pilgrims will spend hours praying and reciting the Qur’an on Arafat and in the surrounding area amid high temperatures. Thousands of health workers were on alert for cases of heat stroke and exhaustion. After sunset, pilgrims will travel the short distance to Muzdalifah, halfway between Arafat and Mina, to sleep in the open air. Photograph: Sajjad Hussain/AFP/Getty Images

So far, more than 1.8 million pilgrims from around the world have gathered in and around Mecca for the hajj, and the number was growing as more pilgrims from inside Saudi Arabia joined, said a spokesperson for the Saudi hajj ministry, Ayedh al-Ghweinim. Authorities have said they expect this year to approach pre-Covid levels of more than 2 million. Photograph: Mohamed Abd El Ghany/Reuters
Tumblr media
In 2019, more than 2.4 million pilgrims participated in the hajj. In 2020, amid worldwide coronavirus lockdowns, Saudi Arabia limited the pilgrimage to a few thousand faithful and local people. Last year, just under 900,000 attended as Saudi Arabia allowed limited numbers of pilgrims from abroad. Photograph: Sajjad Hussain/AFP/Getty Images

A$AP Rocky and Rihanna: The Long-Awaited Love Story Finally Revealed!
Tumblr media
A$AP Rocky and Rihanna have been making headlines since they were first spotted together in 2013. However, rumors of their romantic relationship did not start until recently. The couple has been notoriously private about their love life, but their public appearances and social media posts have sparked rumors that they are more than just friends.
A$AP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Athelaston Mayers, is a rapper, songwriter, and actor from Harlem, New York. He rose to fame in the early 2010s with his mixtapes and studio albums, including "Long. Live. ASAP" and "At. Long. Last. ASAP." He has also collaborated with several other artists, including Rihanna herself, on the song "Cockiness (Love It)."
Rihanna, on the other hand, is a Barbadian singer, actress, and businesswoman. She first gained international fame with her debut single "Pon de Replay" in 2005 and has since released several critically acclaimed albums, including "Good Girl Gone Bad" and "Anti." She has also ventured into acting, with roles in movies such as "Ocean's 8" and "Battleship."
The couple first sparked rumors of their relationship in 2013 when they were seen getting cozy at a party in New York City. However, at the time, Rihanna was still in an on-again, off-again relationship with her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, so nothing came of the rumors.
Fast forward to 2020, and the couple was seen hanging out together several times, leading to rumors that they had rekindled their relationship. They were spotted together at the 2020 Yams Day Benefit Concert in Brooklyn, New York, and at a restaurant in Los Angeles.
The rumors were further fueled when Rihanna featured ASAP Rocky in her Fenty Skin campaign in July 2020. The campaign included a steamy video of the two getting up close and personal, which left fans convinced that they were more than just friends.
In December 2020, the couple was spotted together in Barbados, Rihanna's home country, where they were seen taking a walk on the beach. They also reportedly spent Christmas together, further fueling rumors that they were a couple.
The couple confirmed their relationship in November 2021, when they walked the red carpet together at the Met Gala. They looked stunning in matching outfits, with Rihanna wearing a black Balenciaga gown and ASAP Rocky in a colorful quilted suit by ERL.
Since then, the couple has been spotted together several times, including at the 2021 British Fashion Awards, where they were seen sharing a kiss. They have also been seen vacationing in Miami and celebrating New Year's Eve together in New York City.
In conclusion, while the couple has been friends for several years, they have only been in a romantic relationship since 2020. They have kept their relationship mostly private but have made several public appearances together, confirming their status as a couple. Fans are excited to see where their relationship goes in the future and are eagerly waiting for more updates from the couple.

music note but x5 (also hi omg it's been forever)
Tumblr media
♬― Ricky - Denzel Curry;; My daddy said "Trust no man but your brothers // And never leave your day one's in the gutter" // My daddy said "Treat young girls like your mother" // My momma said "Trust no hoe, use a rubber"
IF I EVER NEED A SONG PLAYING AS I'M ABOUT TO THROW . SHIT. DOWN. This is the song. I will scrap up to this song. This is the BEST kind of fight song. It's taunting, it's boisterous, it's loud, it's nasty in all the best ways. What makes it better is the Genius commentary about Denzel's history alongside it, and how he's striving, fighting for greatness. I relate to it personally, and I love every beat of this song. This was a solid repeat for me in 2022 when I was getting my career & job started. Highly recommend Denzel; he's a great talent if you're interested in Alt. Rap individuals.
♬― Elephant- CupCakke;; They're like "cupcakKe, you gotta do more, why the fuck you don't do features?" // 'Cause it's no face, no case, that's why I don't do the shit, let me teach you.
EIGHT. Count it: 8 DIFFERENT FLOWS in ONE FREESTYLE. Cupcakke is so underrated in her potential and artistry. Her word play? Her rhythm to the beat? She found a way to speak in different cadences in ONE SONG, ONE CONSISTENT BEAT. And again, her wordplay and the story she's telling in this freestyle are so solid and so fun too. It was very relevant when it was released in 2020, and when people undermine Cupcakke to say she's just a "joke rapper" it makes me want to start swinging because she has some BANGERS and people need to give her music a chance. Special mention to Squidward Nose, cause that's a banger too. All her music: bangers.
♬― Rich N*gga Problems - A$AP Rocky;; Got a mink doormat that say, "N*gga, we made it" // Got all white neighbors and most of 'em racist // They put your name and faces when you goin' in places // Then black ain't enough, you just don't wanna be famous.
See, imma be real with y'all. Some people say Rihanna should be with corny ass Drake, and I heavily disagree because I think A$AP Rocky is the better rapper, lyricist, and somewhat a generally better person (I won't forgive him for the colorist comments... but he supports trans right... he's a character). Anyway, A$AP I think is also highly underrated by his artistry. I think his lyricism is on point, especially in this song. It's about the negative aspects of being black and famous and I think the story is told very well in this song. Another rotation song for myself in my day to day. Another special mention to Babuskha Boi, cause that one is a BANGER.
♬― Ungrateful - Megan Thee Stallion;; If I was still doin' broke shit with your broke ass // Then your broke ass wouldn't want beef.
MEGAN. MEEEGAN. Just stay in this lane, cause I love when Megan is just unabashed, confident, and loud. She deserves it. She's so great. And this song really highlights it, cause you can see she has a lot of talent when you give her the room to do so and let her rap in a flow faster than her standard flow. This is just a great song. In the rotation!!!
♬― Is There Someone Else? - The Weeknd;; And I don't want to be a prisoner to who I used to be // I swear I changed my ways for the better, the better // 'Cause I wanna be with you forever, forever.
As I am currently going through a bitter divorce from The Weeknd due to his... antics, I do have to, unfortunately, admit this is a favorite song of mine (which y'all might have seen pop up on the blog for a while). I just love the synth wave, the heartbreak, the tragedy. It's all camp. And I just slurp it up because it's so pertinent that this is the theme song of most of my girls on this blog and I hATE IT.

o colar de pérolas que os meninos estão usando é um ótimo exemplo do hip hop como motor do segmento masculino na indústria de luxo, chamando atenção do público jovem para um setor tradicionalmente dedicado ao nicho de mulheres maduras. 🦪 pharrell williams desfilou pra chanel em 2016 (ou seja, ainda com lagerfeld) com colares de vários tamanhos. kim jones também mostrou colares de pérolas num desfile na dior em 2020. 🎤 foi o a$ap rocky que fez deles um acessório do dia a dia desde 2019. depois teve harry styles de gucci, timothee chalamet e kpop... então circula tanto entre streetwear quanto não-bináries. 🪩 qualquer festa que você vai aqui em sp, tem muitos modelos diferentes: gargantilha, em duas voltas, com correntes e medalhas, ou coloridas... não tem muita regra.
