have you ever considered writing more about icemav's respective childhoods? i'm always thinking about val kilmer saying in his memoir and documentary that he had obsessive dreams about ice's father who made him feel he had to prove himself as The Absolute Ideal Man and that the interactions he dreamt about between ice and his dad surely "imbued ice with greater fury" and his obsession with perfection made him arrogant.

yeah i go into ice’s childhood a little in my slider one shot since they’re right out of high school when they meet. But val and I took it in two completely different directions. Val’s ice has daddy issues and a poor relationship with his father (extrapolating from excerpt above); my ice has lack-of-daddy-issues and NO relationship with his father. No dad = no man to model himself on = overcompensating. When I said, in mavericks POV (debriefing), that ice “clearly doesn’t know how to talk to other men,” I meant that with my whole chest.

i appreciate Val’s insight, and I’m not sure when his memoir was published, but i think TG86 Ice is complicated DEEPLY by his plot-necessary accession to COMPACFLT in TGM22. At least for me, his end rank of O-10 casts him in a totally different light. It implies that what he wants is not necessarily to be “The Ideal Man,” he wants to be The Ideal OFFICER. And there’s a lot of data to back up that claim in Top Gun 86, too: he’s so gentle with Maverick, even when he’s trying to intimidate him (take the intonation of “I heard that about you. You like to work alone,” for example—is that how you’d say that if you were trying to piss someone off?); and there’s also the fact that two of the five times Ice talks directly to Maverick are explicitly about his safety practices and how they affect the safety of the TEAM (“Who was covering Cougar while you were showboating with this MiG?” / “I don’t like you because you’re dangerous.”). I said in a post last week that I don’t think Ice is a team player—but a good OFFICER doesn’t have to be a team player to make sure that the rules are followed and everyone stays safe. I think if Ice were trying to be The Ideal Man, he’d look a lot more like super-cool bad-ass rule-breaker MAVERICK (the buff daredevil male protagonist of a pro-military propaganda movie), who is canonically overcompensating for HIS relationship with his father/his incredibly unhealthy toxic masculinity.

So, yeah. that’s just how i see it. Again, idk when Val’s memoir was published—the writers of TG and TGM treat Ice as a character very differently, and both characterizations necessarily reflect on the other. I did not get the sense that TGM Ice was “imbued with fury,” for instance. So I think Ice trying to be/feeling pressured to be the best OFFICER makes more sense in light of TGM than Ice trying to be/feeling pressured to be the best MAN.

I feel very shrug about mav’s childhood. Kinda seems like he got over that in TG86. He got to save his team the way his dad did, AND lived to tell the tale. Yay. His development’s pretty much done for the franchise.

#idk you will have to read what i think when i post slider & would love to hear what u think #i also related ice to Cold War politics and gave him something more to prove #there’s a reason the TG screenwriters in the mid-80s gave him (semi-antagonist) a Russian name #anyway those are my thoughts #top gun #top gun maverick #icemav #tom iceman kazansky #in an institution like the navy the Ideal Man and the Ideal Officer are similar #because the military values perceived strength etc #but the Ideal Man and the Ideal Officer are still not the same.#im ‘death of the author’-ing val. sorry brother but i only have what you gave me onscreen to analyze #authorial intent except none of what you said was actually in the screenplay #I can & will argue the last sentence of this post if anyone wants to #edts notes

Posting October 21, 2023, 8pm EDT

new teaser under the cut

It’s cold. The late autumn wind rustles through amber-brown-orange-yellow leaves, swirling the fallen ones into little tornadoes that scuttle across the pavement. The cold doesn’t bother Yoongi, necessarily. It’s been a while since he’s been here, in this town, on this street, but even after so much time, his body remembers the chill of November in the same way his feet remember the way to his destination. He shoves his hands deep into his pockets and pauses at the street corner.

It’s strange being back here. He’d once known this neighborhood so intimately, he could map it in his sleep. Not much has changed in the almost 13 years he’s been gone. The park on the corner is the same. The playground, massive to an eight-year-old with a near-infinite imagination, stands resolute, its plastic and paint sun-faded and weathered. Further up the block, the head of the trail that snakes its way through the forest, where he’d spent countless hours playing pirates as a kid and exploring as a teen. And there, at the end of the street, is his destination.

The closer he gets, the more his stomach roils with nerves. Thirteen years since he’d walked down this sidewalk. Thirteen years since he’d walked onto that front porch. Or rather, 12 years, 5 months, and 11 days.

But who’s counting?

There’s a light on in the front room of the house, he can see it through the big window despite the shades being pulled closed. He hesitates. He’s spent days–no, weeks–playing out in his head how this was going to go. In a moment, he’ll know if any of those scenarios were correct. And frankly, right now, he’s terrified.

What if you start to cry? What if you slam the door in his face? What if you hug him? What if you yell at him? What if you don’t answer? What if you want to talk? What if you never want to see him again? What if you invite him in? What if you have someone over?

He takes a deep breath and knocks.

it's finally here! I'm so excited to share this with you. I'd love to know your thoughts and whether or not you're excited!! there's so much more I wanted to include, but maybe (hopefully) there will be a part 2 somewhere down the road.

The school could have just created a gender neutral third bathroom. Instead they took away the one place a girl could be safe from male harassment. And creating more work for the custodial staff since the moids are missing in the sanitary bins.

Brisbane State High School: Girls are left too scared to go to the toilet after female-only bathrooms are converted into a unisex block - with boys 'loitering outside and urinating in sanitary bins'

Girls toilets converted to unisex at co-ed school

Parents accuse male students of urinating on seats

By FREDDY PAWLE FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA

PUBLISHED: 05:02 EDT, 18 April 2024

A partially-selective school's decision to convert a girls' bathroom into a unisex toilet block has left parents concerned after a reported 'behavioural incident'.

Prestigious co-ed Brisbane State High School recently converted its P Block of female-only toilets to accommodate for either sex.

Since then, male students have been accused of intimidating female classmates outside the unisex block and urinating over toilet seats and sanitary bins, the Courier Mail reported.

The decision to change the bathroom's gender restrictions is required by the state's Department of Education and Queensland Human Rights Commission.

The commission has ordered schools to have a specific proportion of both gender specific and unisex toilets.

A prestigious co-ed school, Brisbane State High School (pictured), have come under fire for suddenly changing some girl's toilets to unisex this week

An email notifying parents of the change said the toilets are 'now a shared space and should be treated with respect by all students using the facility'.

One parent said female students were no longer entering the bathrooms.

'You have boys using those cubicles that were originally for girls p***ing everywhere, including on the sanitary bins in those limited stalls that now have them,' they told the Courier Mail.

'It's creating a very negative experience for the girls of the school.'

The parent added that they didn't have an issue with the 'need to cater for diversity' but with the lack of consultation with parents before the change was made.

Another parent told the publication they were okay with the lack of consultation as it gave no time for the 'naysayers' to delay the change.

'I think it's a good idea as it provides neutral facilities for those students that are non-binary,' the parent said.

Parents have claimed female students are now afraid to enter the unisex block after male students urinated over toilet seats and sanitary bins

A spokesperson for the Department of Education said they are 'committed to providing inclusive facilities to respect and value diversity'.

'The introduction this term of a dedicated unisex toilet facility is available to anyone who wishes to use it.

'The school continues to provide separate girls and boys toileting facilities on both campuses. Sanitary bins have not been removed from school bathrooms.'

The spokesperson said the school is aware of an incident that 'occurred near, not inside, a school toilet facility' and that has been dealt with in line with the Student Code of Conduct.

They added that 'allegations that male students were intimidating girls or urinating on the toilet seats and sanitary bins in this toilet facility are unfounded'.

'The school takes all parent complaints seriously and deals with them as they arise.'

#Brisbane #Brisbane State High School #Queensland Human Rights Commission doesn't care about the rights of girls #Australia #They fucked up but they don't know how to admit teenage boys are disgusting while continuing to appease the TQ+ and their flying monkeys

Tag Game!

Thanks to @mybrainismelted and @ryantryinx for the tags. Life has been life-ing lately so I haven’t had much time to spend here, but I appreciate all the tags I’ve gotten on things I definitely missed doing the last little while!

coffee or tea? Tea. I don’t drink coffee.

you can only listen to one album for the rest of your life. which album is it? It would probably be a musical soundtrack of some type. Like I don’t want to say Rent, but I also really want to say Rent. 😂 Original Broadway Recording. Obviously.

how many countries have you visited? 9. Ten if you include the country in which I was born and currently live.

Works for Madison & More are due in FOUR weeks!!

All types of fanworks (fic, podfic, art, etc) are allowed and there are no length restrictions! The only requirement is that you post your work to the Madison & More AO3 collection by Friday, August 18 at 11:59pm EDT.

There were are so many amazing Zimbits prompts submitted to the fest that we figured we'd share a few more!!

Jack and Bitty in Madison for memorial day weekend. You know the Bittles are all about it, BBQ-ing and eating pies and stuff. Jack meets the cousins, the aunts, the family friends. They play lawn games in the grass and Jack gets competitive with the kids. Would love to see Jack feeling really comfortable in that part of Bitty's life.

5 NHL offseasons + 1 after jack retires (some ideas, feel free to use or ignore: missing moments the summer after 1st cup win, summer after 2nd cup win, summer they get married, summer jack gets traded to montreal, summer they adopt a kid, summer bitty is on a book tour, etc etc)

Bitty visits Jack over the summer at his family's cottage on a lake outside of Montreal. They get to relax laying out on the dock and Jack teaches Bitty how to canoe/kayak, roast s'mores, etc. What happens at the lake stays at the lake...or does it?

Beach au where bitty is chilling (sunbathing?) and gets hit by an off course volleyball or beach ball and enacts revenge by kicking butt at volleyball and beating everyone else (extra points if it’s stranger!Jack that hit him)

When Bitty’s work schedule prevents them from going to Madison for the 4th of July, Jack does his best to bring Madison to Bitty.

Jack Zimmermann is heading to Scotland to do summer field research on the cultural impact of the Loch Ness Monster. Bitty, after failing a class and needing credits to graduate, gets assigned to be his research assistant.Maybe the real mystery was falling in love all along.

Jack picks up gardening in the off season. Bitty helps Jack make food with his produce!

If you want to claim any of these prompts, head over to AO3!

If you want to participate in the fest, but don't see any prompts that speak to you, that's okay!! There are three "catch-all" prompts you can claim for exactly this purpose!

#check please #omg check please #omgcheckplease #omgcp #madison&more #zimbits

How much Mick Schumacher cost Haas last season in crashes

'We keep f***ing wrecking them... or should I say ONE driver does!': Mick Schumacher is SAVAGED by Haas boss Guenther Steiner in new tell-all book... as he reveals axed German's crashes last season cost them £1.7MILLION! By Nathan Salt For Mailonline Published: 01:35 EDT, 14 April 2023 | Updated: 01:36 EDT, 14 April 2023 There is no love lost between Mick Schumacher and his former boss at Haas Guenther Steiner and the executive has now savaged the young driver in his new book. Schumacher was dropped by Haas at the end of the 2022 season and has since taken a backwards step to become a reserve at Mercedes behind Lewis Hamilton and George Russell. The 24-year-old son of legendary former F1 driver Michael found life tough at Haas, particularly with avoiding the barriers. Steiner has now revealed exactly how much Schumacher cost the team in crash damages. Steiner's new book, entitled Surviving to Drive, details how Schumacher's crash during first practice at the Japanese Grand Prix cost Haas $700,000 (£550,000) alone, with the overall bill for the season coming in at a staggering £1.7million. The arrival of Schumacher at Haas in 2021 was seen as a major coup given the star power attached to his family name but it soon turned into a loveless marriage between the young driver and Steiner. Speaking of the costly mistake in Japan - which saw Schumacher spin off at Turn 7 at Suzuka in tricky weather conditions - Steiner remains livid. 'It happened on the f*****g in-lap,' Steiner wrote, in an excerpt of the book, according to the Express. 'On the in-lap! Sure, it was very wet out there on the track, but nobody else managed to write off a car while they were driving back to the pits. 'We lose a car after five minutes and now have to build another. I cannot have a driver who I am not confident can take a car around safely on a slow lap. It's just f*****g ridiculous. 'How many people could we employ with $700,000? And I have to now find that money.' Haas had taken a strategy to invest in youth and lined up with Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin a few years ago - but have since pivoted back towards the experience of Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hulkenberg. 'The first time a driver writes off a car in a season due to human error, you have to forget about it. It's just one of those things and at the end of the day, s**t happens sometimes,' Steiner added. 'The second time it happens you think "hang on, something's not right here."'

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.

0 seconds of 0 seconds

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.

Some onomastics idk

Had an idea of making an onomasticon made from the most frequent letters in English

Those would be EAOITNSHR

But I thought, "Hey, that's not much of a variation is it?"

So I looked up the most frequent bigrams and trigrams in English, extending the whole thing to this: The And Tha Ent Ing Ion Tio For Nde Has Nce Edt Tis Oft Sth Men Th He In Er An Re Nd At On Nt Ha Es St En Ed To It Ou Ea Hi Is Or Ti As Te Et Ng Of Al De Se Le Sa Si Ar Ve Ra Id Ur T N S H R E A O I

Then I thought "Why not make a list of all possible bigraphemic names? So to GenWord I went and with some magic I did the thing*

once SUNHWA enters the meeting room, she’s met with one of the managers, SEO HEEJUNG. “please take a seat.” she advises the model while quickly reviewing through her pile of papers. turning her attention towards the model, HEEJUNG began talking, “like AECHA has informed you before, we’re taking this time to talk to each of the models and see what their future goals are and if it aligns with what we have in store for you. in my files, the staff members and coaches have recorded how you were during bullet inquiry, which by the way was ranked in the top 5 netflix dramas in korea and top 10 in asia. while they were quite pleased with your performance as ryu dahyun, they were curious to know what you see yourself doing in the near future. are there any specific types of gigs that you’re interested in? perhaps acting in the future while modeling?” HEEJUNG questioned, wanting to hear SUNHWA’s answer.

sunhwa has always been a confident woman, often the type to push herself to her limits when it came to a project, wanting nothing but the highest regards and congratulations upon a job well done. she’s a perfectionist, detail oriented and wanting— so, to have been told her acting performance as part of the bullet inquiry cast had been pleasing ( quiet pleased, at that ) was a major accomplishment in her books. humility was always important, of course, but the blonde felt there was nothing wrong with having a mild abundance of confidence when ones skills were known. it’s praise she’d been expecting to hear, praise that causes a satisfied grin to play at her lips, a small bow being given in thanks for the approval.

that was all she’d needed in order to know acting was still something she could excel in alongside her work as a model.

the blonde is silent for a moment, mulling over thoughts she’d thrown around time and time again. sunhwa didn’t want to be a one trick pony. she wanted to do everything she possibly could— modeling, acting, mc-ing. in her eyes, she felt there was boundless potential for her to shine with. “acting is something i’d love to continue doing, that’s an absolute.” her words are clear, head held high and back straight, gaze locking with heejung. “i’ll be graduating university with a bfa in acting this year, and while modeling is of course the focus i enjoy having career wise, i would also love it if my degree wasn’t wasting away in a drawer at home.” her words are laced with humor, lips quirking to one side in jest.

“i had a wonderful time taking part in bullet inquiry, so i’m happy to know that staff members enjoyed having me on set, as well— i’d be happy with having more opportunities to act in between my regular modeling gigs.” sunhwas hands are folded neatly in her lap where she’s sat, mood high. she gives another bow, this one a bit deeper, longer. “thank you for wanting to take my opinions and thoughts into consideration. there’s a lot i’d like to do in the future, but this would be a good start.”

OOC NOTES:
