Are Saiki and Teruhashi based off Asō-sensei and Furukawa-san? Part 2

This post will make you know more about Asou-sensei and Furukawa-san, and perhaps about Japanese manga characters. Sorry some information you might have seen it already.

How mangaka based off their characters?

1 appearance

When people saw Asō-sensei, he got comments saying he looked like Saiki Kusuo. The same as Nishizawa, the author of 5mm (西沢５ミリ、Nishizawa 5miri).

「こちらの写真の一番左に映ってるメガネの方が麻生周一先生になります。

どことなく斉木楠雄に似ているような…..」

→The person with glasses on the far left in this picture is Asō Shūichi sensei.

He looks somewhat like Saiki Kusuo......　

Ps. I have never read 5mm, but this went viral, So I knew about it.

If you want to read more about the author, here is the link https://mangakasan.com/asoshuichi-565

Some other characters that resemble the real people. The author of one piece, Oda-sensei, had confirmed some of these.

2 characters based on personality or anything else besides appearance.

This´s quite difficult. The author has to admit it or you must really know that character.

The author of Berserk did give an interview in 1996.

“For the relationship between Guts and Griffith, I'm using myself and my close friend and fellow manga artist Koji Mori (Suicide Island, etc.) as a model. Which one of us is Guts and which is Griffith switches from time to time, but I think it serves as a symbol of male friendship. Guts' friends in the Band of [the Falcon] are actually based on my friends from college. But if it's about Guts' personality or his belief... I guess some of it comes from myself.”

NBA players were the model for the characters in slam dunk. I'm not into sports, but many redditors had theories about these because they knew about different styles of play in basketball. A Japanese blogger said that the author of slam dunk did not admit or deny when he was asked if slam dunk characters were from NBA players. That means there is no right or wrong answer. The author said the readers could imagine who was the model. But the blogger said its not true because he watched NBA for a long time and he had theories to prove that.

Is teruhashi based on the author's wife Furukawa-san or is she a model for teruhashi? (Whatever the correct word is, sorry 😢 ).

We knew from the last two posts that the author started basing teruhashi on his wife after they met in 2014. The author made Teruhashi loves one, have a fan club and be able to sing from 2014.

When the author drew someone else as kokomi, Furukawa-san tweeted right away.

In 2016, his wife tweeted 「おっふしてもいいんだからね！」 → it´s okay (if you’re going) to offu!

To prove that she´s the real kokomi.

In 2018, his wife tweeted

「斉木楠雄のΨ難、麻生先生描き下ろしジャケ！

照橋さん枠はえいたそだったのか、、、！

けるくんも可愛く描いてくれています。サイズ感ぴったり！どんどんメディア進出！麻生先生！ありがとうございます！！すてき！！」

“The CD jacket newly drawn by Asō-sensei, the author of “The Disastrous Life of Saiki K”!

Teruhashi-san's quota (yellow frame) was Eitaso (nickname of Eimi), huh? It has a cute drawing of Keru-kun (her pet) too. The size is perfect! More and more media coverage! Asō-sensei! Thank you!! It's so nice!!”

And then Furukawa-san tweeted again with excuses that Eitaso wasn´t teruhashi because….

いや、えいたそ＝後光 → No, Eitaso = Halo, aureole

照橋さん＝オーラ → Teruhashi-san = Aura

だからちとものが違うか、、、→ so maybe it’s a bit different...

Furukawa-san thinks she is Teruhashi. And can't stand if someone else is Teruhashi. There must be something to make her believe/sure about this. It is a secret between the author and Furukawa-san. The question about if Furukawa-san is Teruhashi. She has already given the answer!

Think why the author made Kokomi have fan club and kusuo a tsundere in 2014? Coincidences? Why did his wife have so much confidence about she’s Kokomi? Why didn't the author do that in the beginning of Saiki k? Why started basing them in 2014 the year he met his wife?

Q: Is the author a tsundere?

Is Saiki based on the author or is he a model for him? After the author met his wife in 2014, Saiki admitted that he is a tsundere.

I would like you to find out what a tsundere is on the internet. So you will understand more about it.

Nendō pet is based on/kind of like Furukawa-san's pet because keru-kun uses her hand as a toilet.

the author said 「りさ推しよりの箱推しです！今日はライブです！」→My Oshi is the whole group, even though I prefer Risa a little more! Today is the live concert!

ps. Ppl/fans who don’t know him in person thought Aso-sensei liked Risa-san until they announced that they gonna get married.

Here are some comments

もっとも麻生さん本人は、15年の時点ではツイッターで、「りさ推しよりの箱推しです！」と投稿しているなど、メンバーの中では古川さんより相沢梨紗さんの方が「推し」だったようである。これもでんぱ組.incのファンには知られており、

→ However, Aso himself seemed to have his “Oshi” as Risa than for Furukawa-san, as he posted on Twitter in 2015, “My Oshi is the whole group, even though I prefer Risa a little!” This is also known to fans of Denmagumi.inc,

「推しアイドルと結婚相手って別なんだろうね」 → “I guess the Oshi idol and the person you're marrying are two different things.”

「麻生先生チケ代払ってでもでんぱガチガチで遠征してるヲタクで相沢梨紗推しのはずがまさかのみりんちゃんと結婚」

→“Asou-sensei, an otaku who pays for tickets and goes to meet Dempa in far places. I thought he had an Oshi as Risa, but surprise surprise, he’s married to Mirin-chan.”

「麻生先生でんぱ組好きって言ってて結婚はすげぇな　推しとは違ったらしいけど」

→“I knew that Asou-sensei liked Dempagumi, but marriage is surprising. But looks like the partner wasn’t his Oshi.”

と、むしろ推しメンバーと結婚相手に分別をつけた選択として、好意的に受け止められている様子だ。

→Rather, this seems to be favorably received as a sensible choice between an Oshi member and a marriage partner.

If I were Furukawa-san and read these comments….. I felt hurt. There were some comments on x (twitter) saying that Aso-sensei liked Risa-chan or his oshi was Risa-chan from 2015-2019 (her first response to the author was in 2016). As a woman, I read comments saying my boyfriend likes my friend. Did people think I stole him from my friend or my friend rejected him so he chose me and ended up marrying me. Was I his second choice??? No wonder Furukawa-san couldn't accept when someone else was kokomi.

However, colleagues confirmed their relationship No. 3&4.

2. In 2018, the marriage purpose. No. 3 「でんぱぐみのだれかと（けっこん）」 → (Marry) someone in Dempagumi(.inc). The word “marry” was coverd by Nendou´s hand.

P.S. If anyone thinks it's a word other than the word marry …hmmm. That person doesn't understand Japanese in context (that chapter).

3. His assistant, Mitsuhara-san mentioned that Furukawa´s his favorite member and Asou-sensei replied his comment (without denying it) saying

「わー！忙しいのにわざわざ漫画まで描いてくれてありがとー！！あれはそういう策略だったのか…w」

→ Wow! Thanks for drawing all those manga even though you're so busy! (Now I know) what kind of strategy was that...lol

(You can read his manga in English at the end of this post)

What Asō-sensei did to Furukawa-san

Didn´t say his feeling to Furukawa-san. He said he preferred Risa. But his coworker, Mitsuhara-san said Furukawa was his favourite member. Asou-sensei attended dempagumi.inc activities/events, but he wanna leave after he talked to his wife for a word or two. At first I thought their relationship had to be a secret. he could write about Risa-san but Furukawa-san. <(ꐦㅍ _ㅍ)> ……… tsundere.

Did tease his wife by drawing someone else as Teruhashi. He drew dempagumi.inc only 2 pics and teased his wife both of them. Aso-sensei drew Furukawa-san with arms crossed. ʱªʱªʱª (ᕑᗢूᓫ∗)

Source: the same link as above (telling that he drew Dempagumi two pics) https://www.j-cast.com/2019/09/19367999.html?p=all

P.S. The CD jacket supposed to release in April 2018, but his wife saw it in February 2018. So, she tweeted with those messages right away. Arms crossed = disagree. The author knew that Furukawa-san disagreed that she wasn't kokomi, but he teased her. I saw one post that he still teased her after they've got married.

Didn´t write the word “marry” in a marriage proposal. I wondered when I read it, but now everything is resolved. What a tsundere! Finally, he grouped his wife with Teruhashi even though he wrote the word "someone" on no. 3 instead of Furukawa-san (because of idol status). However, it’s really sweet of him to do it in anime and it will stay forever.

4. His coworker, 大石浩二、Ōishi-san (mangaka) who works at Shonen Jump+ said

麻生先生&みりんちゃん結婚おめでとうございます。前から知ってはいましたが、未だにえっマジで！！？なんだその漫画みたいな展開！！って思ってます。みりんちゃんのハートにＢダッシュした麻生先生。末永くお幸せに🎊

Congratulations to Asō-sensei & Mirin-chan on their marriage. I've known about it for a while, but I'm still thinking "What Really!!? What a manga-like development!!” Aso-sensei made a B-dash into Mirin-chan's heart. I wish you a long and happy life🎊.

However, Ōishi-san compared them to a manga. What manga? Did he mean Saiki k manga? I don't know much information about Aso-sensei and Furukawa-san compare to Oishi-san, but I knew Asō-sensei is an otaku and his wife is an idol. So I think otaku & idol. That's why the author did a self-insert to Saiki k manga. Plus, he did mentioned himself (as an otaku) made his favorite idol sang the theme songs in 2016 (chapter 234).

When they were in a relationship in 2016, The author asked their friends, family and co-worker for the vote (to make Saiteru got 1&2 place) because they (ppl who knows him) knew about Furukawa-san. He wanted their votes instead of votes from readers. Who the hell didn't know that he's saiteru shipper?

Plus, Dempagumi started to sing saiki k anime songs in 2016. The author wasn't just an otaku who attended only dempagumi events, but this made them had more time together.

2nd popularity poll, chapter 115, chapter 234, Aso-sensei and Dempagumi (he wears black and Furukawa-san is on his left, the video.

After the author and Furukawa-san announced they going to marry. Someone made a video and put the author, his wife, Saiki and Teruhashi in the video. And at the end shows Imu saying "just like a mangaka whose anime main theme was sung by their favorite idol!" in japanese. Many knew that the author made the self insert (mentioned himself in chapter 234).

Source to watch video (1.5 min): https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm35700889

To answer the question of if the author based on Saiki or using him as a model.

- In terms of appearance, I'm not the only one who thinks the author looks like Saiki.

- For the personality, what he did to Furukawa-san (2015-2018), the author’s a tsundere to me.

My point with this post is that it´s not strange or stupid that the manga creators/mangaka use the real people as models for their characters in the manga or based on themselves. It doesn't mean that characters are 100% like the authors, and have to be a warrior like Guts from Berserk. The author said “Guts' personality or his beliefs... I guess some of that comes from myself.” So did Asō sensei and Saiki about tsundere.

I hope this post will make you understand about mangaka and their characters. Thank you. ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡

Wanne read about how Asō sensei became a big fan (otaku) of Dempagumi.inc. Read below.

This message below is for someone who claimed to be asō-sensei number 1 fan and posted about me. The rest of you please ignore this.

I hope you get to know the author better and find it interesting, rather than saying misinformation without sources and lying to others because you have no knowledge and no information about manga. Real people are models for/based on manga characters existed before you were even born. Shocking? This has never happened before. Still think this information isn´t credible? And want the the author to admit or deny that he and his wife based on Saiki and Teruhashi. Good luck with that, a tsundere like him who never told/said Furukawa-san his feelings online (direct way) until they announced their marriage. He isn't a criminal he has to accept or refuse this if he doesn't want to. The author never said about it, but it doesn’t mean his wife and coworkers wouldn’t say anything. I’d rather believe his wife and coworker than you. The one who knows nothing about the author is you. How could you claim to be a big fan of the author? You believe info from his wife and coworkers were not good enough. You don’t even listen and respect his wife and coworkers. On top of that you spread this information from his wife and colleagues are misinformed (your belief are based on what? Your favorite headcanon?) Next time, please find info by yourself before accusing others, so you can learn about Japanese or practice your Japanese language. Didn’t you say so?

I asked you about did you read what Japanese people said about him and what his wife said, but you avoided to answer it for 3 days because you couldn’t answer it. Then meow’s blog who also believed you deleted my comments. I wonder why they believed you without sources. Because you claimed to be a fan of the author? Anyways, your comment about “nope 1. misinfo 2. hella fucking weird compare these two.” was delete after I posted this. Did you delete it? Huh?

I thought I did make it clear about last two post and I thought I didn’t need to write more about it. This story seems so exaggerate and hard to believe. So some people think they know about the author and think it´s misinfo. Please don’t judge Japanese manga with your different background/culture, but try to understand it. You asked for souces, I gave you. Where are your sources saying misinfo, or you are full of bias? Huh?

When you disliked someone’s (especially my) posts and comments, you disproved it by using the excuses like You dont know the author or you are not the author. Please remember even I pointed out the author drew Toritsuka´s hair pink in chapter 73 and explained that he’s Aiura´s soulmate in the 1st post. You didn’t even accept Reita x Mikoto and the evidence from the author. You are in denial bro. So don't mention the author as an excuse for debate. Please use logic and respect the authors decision rather than using your emotion in making judgments. There are much more you have to learn about japanese manga. Please keep an open mind.

You are right about running around with the big #1 Asou-sensei Fan, but "even jokes like that stink with entitlement. Please have some self awareness. You arent shuuichi asou, opinion disregarded”

Look who’s talking!

I don’t mind about your headcanon, but I do mind the way you wrote about me and your excuses. On the other hand, if I hadn’t read your rant about me on tumblr …. I wouldn’t write this post. THANK YOU 😉

#saiteru #terusai #saiki kusuo #saiki no psi nan #saiki x teruhashi #teruhashi kokomi #god i hate when terusai haters are biased and have no info but telling lies & saying this’s misinfo and shove this take everywhere #oh my god it makes me so angry anytime terusai haters are only biased and spreads rumors sorry i probably overreacted #Where is your source? Bias doesn’t count as sources or proofs.

Top 10 Favorite NBA Players (#6) Kevin Durant

At number 6 on my top 10 favorite NBA players list i am going to put Kevin Durant. Durant is a 2 time NBA Champion and widely known as the greatest scorer the game of basketball has ever seen. Due to being the best scorer of all time he is incredibly fun to watch. His 6''11 stature with the ability to shoot from five feet beyond the three-point line with ease in combination with his unbelievable control of the ball when dribbling makes him an anomaly of a player. Being 6'11 and not having very much muscle on his frame has coined him the nickname 'The Slim Reaper' which i like alot. Durant is not only fun to watch on the court but seems like a great person off of it aswell. The first time i had seen this was in his famous 2014 MVP speech in which he gets very emotional and says , while talking about his mother ''you the real MVP'', this was just a great thing to see and it really touched me.

youtube

In addition Durant is very funny but not in the traditional telling jokes way, he is very well known for having 'burner' Twitter accounts, which means accounts that he makes anonymously and people do not know it is him, and he will say bad things or defend himself or his teamates on these accounts. In one instance he forgot to log in to his burner account and was still on his official KDTrey5 account and someone had tweeted asking why he had left his team. Durant responded while talking in the 3rd person saying that he did not like the coach and his teammates were not good enough. I find this abosolutely hilarious . In conclusion i am a big fan of Durant's due to his incredible ability on the court but down to earth and funny self off of it.

Jack Harlow Knew This Was Coming

Well, sort of. But now he’s got a smash hit, a new album featuring Adam Levine, and he may have accidentally altered the course of NBA history

Written By Khari NixonJanuary 27 2021, 10:00 AM ET

DJ Drama was in no rush to return from his lunch break.

Sandwiched between the outskirts of Atlanta’s Bankhead neighborhood and the sprawling campus of Georgia Tech University is Means Street Studios. This hub of hip hop recording has played host to a litany of stars since its 2013 inception. Playboi Carti, Gucci Mane, Lil Uzi Vert and the late Nipsey Hussle are just some of the artists who’ve graced its halls.

However, on this day in November 2017, the Means Street corridors were not especially glamorous. Atlantic Records had selected the studio complex to host its quarterly A&R conference in which DJ Drama, legendary mixtape arbiter and co-founder of Atlantic’s Generation Now imprint (Lil Uzi Vert, Killuminati), played a significant role.

Overnight success stories often begin at conferences like this one, long before viral TikTok challenges and feature placements on streaming services come into play. It can sometimes take years for an artist to build enough trust with a label to earn a star-turning album or single rollout. Drama knows a thing or two about this waiting game. It was his seminal free mixtape series, Gangsta Grillz, that helped rappers circumvent this indefinite layover and maintain relevance during the 2000s.

“I was just kind of, you know, taking my time to get back,” he admits over a Zoom call, reminiscing. He was, after all, DJ Drama. He was far past the stage where he needed to outhustle fellow A&Rs and executives. New music needed to hustle its way to him.

Still, as 2014 signee Lil Uzi Vert inched closer to international superstardom, Generation Now was in the market for a second star. When Drama finally returned from his break, something extraordinary happened.

“Right as I walked in just a little bit late, ‘Dark Knight’ was on. They were playing ‘Dark Knight’ in the meeting.”

A few months prior to Atlantic’s A&R summit descending upon Means Street, during the waning days of summer 2017, DJ Drama sat in a room at the studios beside his fellow Generation Now execs: Don Cannon, a similarly legendary mixtape DJ, and their partner Leighton “Lake” Morrison. Meeting with them were KY, a renowned engineer from Louisville, and a lanky, curly-haired white boy, also from Louisville, whose brand of brash-yet-self-conscious raps had built a fanbase whose support had him teetering on the brink of vested major label interest. This was Jack Harlow, Drama was told.

He knew who the 19-year-old rapper was. Drama’s friend and colleague Randy had hipped him to Jack’s Instagram page several months prior. Intrigued, Drama followed it and listened to a handful of the young rapper’s songs. The night before the formal introduction at Means Street, Jack had been thrust into a studio session by this same friend, Randy, to record with Generation Now’s inaugural signee, veteran rapper Skeme.

Harlow has endeared himself to a wide array of musicians in a short timeCREDIT: Noah Schutz

“The way Randy talked about it,” Drama recalls, “He was like, ‘I just wanted to see if [Harlow] had his chops. ‘Cause, you know. Skeme ain’t no hoe.’”

However, despite Harlow’s passing grades at his session with Skeme, Drama and company weren’t ready to set anything in stone. “It wasn’t final,” he says as he remembers how the meeting with KY and Jack concluded. “I don’t know, it was like everybody wasn’t sold.”

In the aftermath of the inconclusive meeting, Harlow, sensing Generation Now’s hesitation, returned to Louisville and got right back to work. He would be releasing Gazebo, his fourth and breakout self-released project, the third week of November 2017, and he needed to fire a warning shot. One that both his fanbase and GN would heed. That materialized as “Dark Knight,” a bruising ramble introducing listeners to a reenergized Harlow, who did not appear to be reeling from the effects of leaving Atlanta without a deal.

“Know this shit boom when we came down south and I had to bring my own lil’ Metro,” Harlow rapped, likening a member of his crew to Metro Boomin, the multi-platinum Atlanta-based producer. The song ends on an even more confident note. “Funny how it all works out / Right before this I was feeling burnt out / Now the whole city ‘bout to get burned down.”

Harlow wasn’t quite peeved, but there was a specific edge to his delivery. The chip on his shoulder was just big enough. “Dark Knight” made exactly as much noise as Harlow hoped it would. Because of it, he quickly outgrew DJ Drama’s circle. Label offers were imminent, regardless of whether Generation Now was interested. Harlow knew this. So did Drama.

Thus, when the DJ returned from his lunch break that day at Means Street to hear “Dark Knight” blaring from studio speakers, he knew immediately he had a decision to make. On his own accord, Harlow had quickly gotten better, sharper and grown more polished. So much so that Atlantic would surely be preparing to take its own chance on him by meeting’s end, leaving Generation Now out of the picture.

“Oh! That’s just Jack,” he hastily announced to the room. “I’m already on that. We got that, you can tuck that,” he remembers saying. The room quickly moved to the next order of business. If DJ Drama was on that, the conversation was over.

Truthfully, neither Drama nor his partners were actually on that. But that would soon change. “I went to text Cannon to tell him they played ‘Dark Knight’ in the meeting,” Drama says, as he cracks a wistful smile.

“It forced our hand in a way, thankfully.”

It’s a Friday night in January 2021, and Jack Harlow is seated in complete darkness. The COVID-19 pandemic will soon be a year old, so instead of doing something like eating tacos and playing H-O-R-S-E—which, I’ve decided, would have been my suggested activity for this interview in a safer world—I’m staring at a Zoom screen as Harlow, whose camera is switched off, describes his current setting. I’m not allowed to see it. “I’m sitting in the dark right now, you don’t want to see me in this mood right now,” he warns. For a moment, it sounds like a very vulnerable-rapper way of saying I was in the zone right before this. My next question is, “What are you doing, writing?” His deadpan reply: “No, I’m doing an interview.”

It is exactly this type of shrewd and subtle wit that allowed Jack Harlow to become Jack Harlow.

Born in March 1998 to the proprietors of a family-run sign business in Louisville, Kentucky, Harlow’s narrative isn’t the most compelling. Unlike many of his peers, he didn’t have to escape extreme poverty or take penitentiary chances in order to provide. He’s not from a city that regularly produces rap stars, and despite his obvious skill level, it would be fair to mistake him for a math tutor. His free time would often consist of riding around with friends in search of adventure, hoping to catch a cute girl’s attention along the way. As exhausted of a character trope as this is, young Jack Harlow was very much just a regular kid. His writing ability is what made him irregular. It also gives him a puncher’s chance at becoming the preeminent star of his generation.

In the 2020s, as microwave TikTok fame continues to prove reliable as a launching pad to Billboard success, emphasis on range and craft in the mainstream will continue to dwindle across the board. In hip hop specifically, descendants of 808’s & Heartbreak-era Kanye West have spent much of the last 15 years redefining how much traditional rapping is necessary to be successful in the genre. These dynamics don’t interest Harlow as much as they could. His duty is to his wordplay, and the techniques he employs to keep listeners on their toes. Sometimes it’s a stretch of alliteration that he’s able to effortlessly maintain. Other times, he’ll thumb his nose so nonchalantly you’ll forget that it’s slick talk. “The ones that hate me the most look just like me. You tell me what that means,” he raps on the 2020 single, “Tyler Herro.”

Jack Harlow is ready to rollCREDIT: Noah Schutz

In present-day hip hop, recognition is less contingent on lyrical ability than it ever has been. Despite scattered worlds that continue to place the technical art of rapping on a pedestal—the J. Cole-led Dreamville imprint and Westside Gunn’s Griselda immediately come to mind—being a Good Rapper has long taken a backseat to marketability. This transition has created somewhat of a perfect storm for an artist like Harlow, who isn’t going to blow you away with metaphors or dizzying flow switches. But his unassuming charisma, coupled with a sturdy pen and the attention to detail to execute a line like, “Been tryna pop, now I’m on like Shumpert,” provides for a lane that he can dominate.

“You know, for some odd reason, it’s been what I’ve wanted to do for so long that I can’t even pinpoint what it felt like to not want to do this,” Harlow says. “Like, sometimes I wonder, ‘What was it like to be a purposeless child that was simply enjoying life?” His mother, a hip-hop fan, would soundtrack the household with Jay-Z, OutKast and Black Eyed Peas. Perhaps unbeknownst to mom, her young son was taking meticulous notes. He wasn’t just enthralled, he was inspired. “What’s Poppin’” was an eventual outcome, but an inevitable one.

Harlow’s biggest hit song to date (and of 2020), “What’s Poppin’” materialized in the way that an innumerable amount of hit songs have come together. Hotshot producer slides into hotshot rapper’s DMs with hopes that they can form a mutually beneficial partnership. This particular exchange made perfect sense. JetsonMade, the Roc Nation-managed producer behind DaBaby’s breakout hit, “Suge,” was looking to diversify his portfolio. And Harlow was in album mode.

“I heard those piano keys, and I was just taken,” Harlow recalls. After a weeks-long back-and-forth with Jetson while touring in 2019, Jack had finally carved out time to get into the studio with the in-demand producer. On day two, Harlow heard the sound that changed his career. “I think I probably reacted how a lot of people reacted when they heard that beat. It’s fucking hard.”

Incidentally, it wasn’t even the featured beat of the night. In a recent interview with Genius, Jetson and Pooh Beatz, a producer Jet often partners with (“Told Pooh he a fool with this shit”), recall the night they flipped through instrumentals, looking for something for Harlow to “pop his shit” over. “You’ve got to give the artist room to be creative as well,” Pooh said. “So I’m always listening for that simplest piece.”

That beat, accentuated with that bouncing, accelerated piano loop, gave Harlow more than enough room to be selective with his approach. “I said to myself, ‘Jack, don’t think too hard. Don’t bear down on this beat and smother it. You know, don’t try to go crazy on it. Just have fun with it.’ So that’s what I did. I said the first thing that came to mind.”

What’s poppin? Brand new whip, just hopped in I got options, I could pass that bitch like Stockton

Then,

Just joshing, I’ma spend this holiday locked in

Seriously? “Just joshing?” I had to ask.

“That was a line I’d always planned on replacing,” Harlow admits as he chuckles. Given the opportunity to address the subtle audacity of this cheesy-but-effective line, he perks up. “I was always going to get rid of it. It was a placeholder. It was literally just something that rhymes with the other shit.”

By the time he’d completed the song, it was far too late for replacements. For just over two minutes, on “What’s Poppin,” Harlow’s subdued-but-sharp flow darts in and out of the accelerated piano loop, buoying the dancing bassline Jetson and Pooh concocted. The beat doesn’t rush Harlow, and in turn, he doesn’t stifle it. After wrapping his sessions with Jetson, he played the song for confidantes on his team and friends back home in Louisville. Their response was the confirmation Jack needed. “What’s Poppin’” was the one. “I really treasure that moment because I use it as a lesson now when I’m trying to write,” he says. “I’m just like ‘go, go, go’ because look at the success that song is giving me when I just let go. It’s a lesson, you know, you just gotta let go and…” Harlow trails off briefly, perhaps rummaging through his brain for the word that will summarize this lesson. Seconds later, he finds it.

“Be instinctual.”

Shortly after its January 2020 release, “What’s Poppin’” was added to Spotify’s Rap Caviar playlist, the leading gatekeeper in the hip hop playlisting world. Securing a placement on a playlist like Rap Caviar in the streaming era is akin to being named a member of XXL magazine’s “Freshman Class” during the early 2010s blog era. It won’t guarantee a successful career, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a more effective springboard into the national conscience. Once “What’s Poppin’” hit Rap Caviar, it never looked back.

The song and its remix, which features DaBaby, Lil Wayne and Tory Lanez, have now been streamed over 700 million times on Spotify. Consequently, Harlow is a millionaire and Grammy nominee at 22. In case that was unclear, he announces it just 10 seconds into his debut studio album, That’s What They All Say, released in December, on the album’s intro, “Rendezvous.” The album, which features Maroon 5’s Adam Levine, Lil Wayne, Lil Baby, and an appearance from the late R&B legend Static Major, is his biggest flex yet. The world had just learned his name, and already he was getting A-list stars out of bed for a set of tracks so versatile, comparisons to Drake are unavoidable.

“You know, it’s funny because, I remember my dad said to me he was proud of me because, you know, his dad was broke on a farm and grew up incredibly impoverished. Then my dad grew up a little better than him. And now, I’m a millionaire,” Harlow says, unable to disguise his pensive tone. “And he just wanted to point that out to me. It’s a huge step. I mean, I know that seems obvious for me, but it’s a huge step for him. I never met his dad—rest in peace—but if he could see the success, shit would be a whole ‘nother world to him. So it’s just nice to put it in perspective. You know, that’s the one thing I’ve been really careful about doing.”

The way Harlow ended his thought, it felt like a cautionary tale was coming. My hunch was pure. “Sometimes I think all these millionaires and artists get so wrapped up in entering the world and becoming friends with all the other millionaires when they get to L.A.,” he starts, “They get wrapped up in the world and it does become normalized. And they think to themselves, ‘Well, then, I have room to be depressed. Everyone around me is a millionaire and I’ll find something to be unhappy about.’”

Don’t let the depths of Harlow’s self-awareness disarm you; he knows he’s the guy right now. He always has. His account of the events surrounding his initial meeting with Generation Now at Means Street mirrors DJ Drama’s. Jack just sprinkles a little ego in, like parsley. “Drama was fucking with me, but he took a second. The label took a second. And I remember I ended up having to drop “Dark Knight.” I said, ‘I’ma just drop it.’ And that really got the buzz going. Labels started, people were interested. And I was like ‘O-K, yeah, yeah, no, I got it.’”

“So you sort of had to trigger your own bidding war,” I ask. He agrees. “Yeah, exactly. And they were on it quick.”

This Cinderella ascent has not come without setbacks, however. With fame comes heightened visibility, which can trip up even the most vigilant of stars. The NBA’s announcement that it would resume play following its March COVID-19 stoppage came with a strict set of safety guidelines. Players were prohibited from leaving the Disneyland campus that hosted the remainder of the season, fondly known as “The Bubble,” unless they had explicit permission from league authorities. Even so, they were still encouraged to stay clear of high-risk areas, like densely populated public venues.

Strip clubs—I’m guessing—would probably qualify as high-risk during a pandemic. That’s where Harlow was when he snapped a selfie with Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams less than a week after the league had resumed play. They each wore masks, but Williams had been granted permission to leave The Bubble so he could attend a relative’s funeral, not pop up on a rapper’s Instagram Story while at the strip club. Lou Will maintains that he was simply picking up chicken wings when Harlow snapped the selfie, and not ripping wrappers off packs of singles. The NBA, however, would hear none of it and forced Williams into a 10-day quarantine. He missed the first two games of his teams’ restart, the Clippers never redeveloped their chemistry, and they were eliminated from the playoffs so quickly, their season became fodder for a Freddie Gibbs chorus several weeks later. “Hoes get fucked and sent home early, just like the Clippers.”

Naturally, no one blames Harlow for this. Not even Lou Will. “[Lou] called me like, ‘Don’t even fucking trip. I’m Lou. I don’t get in trouble.’ I was like well shit, you just gave me the pass to relax,” Harlow reveals as he fights back laughter. Still, one can’t help but wonder how things might have turned out if the restart to the Clippers’ season was less turbulent. After they were eliminated, the team fired its coach, retooled most of its roster, and saw its star player, Paul George, spend the entire summer soul searching. What a sequence of events.

There is also the matter of the aforementioned remix to “What’s Poppin,” one of the most successful remixes in recent hip hop memory. Just a few weeks after the song was released, Lanez was accused of shooting Houston hip hop star Megan Thee Stallion in her feet following a party in Los Angeles. With increased social attention to misogynoir and violence against women as the wind in their sails, scores of Twitter users “canceled” Lanez and began lobbying for industry figures to blacklist him and his music. Harlow, stunned at the news, didn’t know how to react. The very mention of it makes him uncomfortable. I asked him what his initial reaction was.

“It’s crazy,” he says. “The news broke right after we dropped the video. I was like, ‘I wonder how this is going to go.’ I was curious, I was shocked, I was just like, damn.” He would comment no further.

Don't mess with Jack HarlowCREDIT: Noah Schutz

Eventually, Harlow’s whiteness had to be addressed. He knew it, and I knew it. In listening to his music over the years, I’d observed how many of my Black friends and colleagues were accepting of him in a way that they weren’t accepting of other white rappers. It’s comforting to have a white rapper just be a white rapper, and not cosplay their Black peers with guerilla music videos and disingenuous displays of gunplay and drug use. Maybe too comforting. Last year, Harlow trended on Twitter because the platform had somehow just discovered his race. He poked fun at the confusion on Instagram, posting a screenshot of his discography, which features his very white face on every cover art. “I did everything I could do to show y’all I am white,” he wrote.

Harlow expresses an understanding of what it means to be a privileged outsider. When Breonna Taylor was unjustly murdered at the hands of Louisville police last March, Harlow hit the streets as marches and protests swept the nation. “People have asked me, as if there was a strategy involved, ‘What made you do it?’ I grew up with Black people, and the empathy I have for them is ingrained in me. It’s not something that arrived this past summer, but I was charged up by the movement. It happened where I’m from and there’s a responsibility that comes with that.”

One of the earliest memories critics will have of Harlow is his visit to Sway Calloway’s Sway In The Morning show on SiriusXM. In the footage, Harlow, wearing a brown Ecko Unlimited long-sleeve T-shirt, is even more baby-faced than he is now. Sitting next to the much stockier DJ Drama, it almost looks as if Drama is the talent and Harlow is the management. He’s quiet and fidgety, slightly deer-in-headlights, and doesn’t look much like the guy who “forced” the hand of a legend.

I remind Harlow of this moment and ask him to consider everything that’s happened since. What will his legacy be?

“I want to be someone that’s true to myself, and someone that’s wholly original to the game.” He says that he’s been that person in spurts and that his goal is to intentionally chase that for the rest of time. “The beauty of making art and music is, ideally that’s what should live forever. That’s what gives me purpose. I think that’s what we’re all looking for. Mortality is in the back of all of our heads, and I found the thing that makes it bearable.”

I ask him, “Does that scare you? The thought of dying before you reach your full potential?”

“Oh yes. So much so, I don’t even want to talk about it.”

yes!!! and she's like "i'm never meeting anyone with you ever again, stop it!" cause she can tell he's having way too much fun with the whole thing and he's totally gonna bring it up whenever they run into anyone older from the industry

Omg I'm now just collecting little Y/N & Jason headcanons:

Y/N is bi and a bunch of articles/tweets go viral about Jason having "bi wife energy"; he thinks people found out about their secret wedding but she explains what the phrase means and jokingly buys him a bi wife energy Tshirt and he gets papped wearing it.

Y/N never really adjusts to meeting celebrities and Jason constantly teases her... Except for when he gets jealous but he's working on it (and the jealous sex is a little too hot to give up tbh)

The kids have a nickname for Y/N they call her instead of mom or stepmom

Before the baby, Jason and Otis go to NBA games together but Y/N and Daisy go to WNBA games together and sometimes they swap (Y/N and Otis at NBA games, Jason and Daisy at WNBA games)

Y/N's parents come around eventually and keep all 3 kids for a week when Jason and Y/N go on a vacation (it goes great)

So curious if these ring true for you/if you have more I'd love to hear them!!

Opinion | Celebs who picked Tory Lanez over Megan Thee Stallion need a reckoning, too

More than seven months after hip-hop recording artist Tory Lanez was convicted in the 2020 shooting of hip-hop megastar and three-time Grammy winner Megan Thee Stallion, a judge sentenced him Tuesday to 10 years in prison. In December, a Los Angeles jury found the Canadian-born Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, guilty of three felony counts: assault with a semiautomatic handgun, unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.

T he 10 years Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge David Herriford gave Lanez Tuesday was less than the 13 years requested by prosecutors.

On Monday, the first day of Lanez's sentencing hearing, Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Kathy Ta read into the record a statement from Megan: “Since I was viciously shot by the defendant, I have not experienced a single day of peace,” she wrote. She also wrote, “Slowly but surely, I’m healing and coming back, but I will never be the same.” Megan testified during Lanez's trial but said in her statement that she eventually decided not to appear at the sentencing because she “simply could not bring myself to be in a room with Tory again.”

The 10-year sentence is an appropriate one. It sends a message that you can’t harm someone and not be held accountable. This is his Lanez's own doing, and now he will have about a decade to reckon with that.

Lanez’s sentencing is the latest development in one of the most contentious periods in hip-hop history, when many of the most notable men in the genre chose to rally around a fellow male artist accused of violence and not a fellow female artist who said she’d been shot by him.

What does it mean for Black women fans of hip-hop that, at the same time the 50th anniversary of the art form is being celebrated, one of hip-hop’s biggest stars continues to see hip-hop’s biggest influencers rally around her assailant, put her on virtual trial and find her guilty?

As a Black woman who remembers sneaking into my cousins David and Eric’s room as a kid to learn the lyrics to “It Takes Two” by Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock, I find it difficult to celebrate this golden anniversary. Because even though it’s turning 50, hip-hop doesn’t seem to have matured.

In his song “Circo Loco,” a collaboration with fellow rapper 21 Savage, Drake called Megan a liar. “This b---- lie about getting shot but she still a stallion … she don’t even get the joke but she still smiling,” Lanez’s fellow Canadian rapper sings. Drake was one of several prominent men in hip hop who accused her of lying. Hip-hop podcasters and bloggers, including Joe Budden and DJ Akademiks, used their large platforms to vilify her. (Budden later apologized for joking about Megan’s mental health as he doubted her claims of being shot by Lanez.)

Future NBA Hall of Famer LeBron James went out of his way to let us to know he’s Team Lanez. Responding to a tweet that claimed Lanez makes good music, James responded, “FACTS!!! He never misses. That boy talented as hell man! Bangers for days!!”

Akademiks and Megan engaged in a heated exchange on social media. Before a scheduled pre-trial court hearing even began, Akademiks falsely claimed on Twitter that there’d been a bombshell revelation that exonerated Lanez. Megan tagged him when she responded on Instagram, “Y’all tryna win a social media campaign this is MY REAL LIFE! Y’all tryna get retweets SPREADING FALSE NARRATIVES!” As recently as last month, Akademiks said he still has his doubts that Lanez is guilty.

Black women are three times more likely than other women to be killed by current or former partners. Even if Black people don’t know that exact statistic, they likely know of Black women who’ve been hurt or killed by their partners. That’s why I never bought the idea that the hip-hop community believed Megan was lying about what she said happened to her at the hands of someone with whom she’d been intimate with.

I figured the hip-hop artists dogging Meg knew she was telling the truth but succumbed to what can be an overwhelming sentiment that we must protect and defend Black men at all costs: even when Black women and Black children are the victims. I mean, isn’t that why so many refuse to stop supporting R. Kelly?

In my lifetime, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Black people overwhelmingly stand with Black women victims when their assailants are Black men. And that makes me sad.

That idea that protecting abusive men is more important than protecting or defending the abused makes it harder sometimes to rock to the beat. Because this isn’t hip-hop’s first account of intimate partner violence or men in hip-hop attacking women in general. There were stories in its earlier years — such as Dr. Dre’s 1991 assault of Dee Barnes, a journalist whose only crime was being a Black woman who was good at her job. According to media reports, Dr. Dre assaulted Barnes because she’d previously interviewed former NWA member Ice Cube and, in his segment, Cube had less than flattering remarks for his former bandmates. Instead of addressing Cube, Dre took his frustrations out on Barnes. Dr. Dre pleaded no contest to attacking Barnes and was given two years probation and some community service. “It ain’t no big thing. I just threw her through a door,” Dr. Dre said of Barnes then in an interview with Rolling Stone.

In 2015, the film “Straight Outta Compton” was rightly criticized for leaving out Dr. Dre’s attack on Barnes and the allegations of abuse from R&B singer Tairrie B and Dr. Dre’s former girlfriend, R&B singer Michel’le. That’s when Dr. Dre finally paid lip service to owning up to what he’d done. In a statement to The New York Times that year, he blamed alcoholism and said, “I apologize to the women I’ve hurt. I deeply regret what I did and know that it has forever impacted all of our lives.”

Such an apology was too little and almost a quarter-century too late. That’s why it was such an offense that in February, to acknowledge the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, the Grammys honored Dr. Dre by presenting him its inaugural Global Impact Award. Not only that, the Grammys named that award for him. Barnes couldn’t believe it. She told Rolling Stone, “You might as well call it the Ike Turner Award.” She added, “I’m not the bad guy, but I am made into the villain — very much like how they did Megan Thee Stallion … I watched what happened to my little sister Megan, and it just was heartbreaking to me because we have not changed in all these years.”

L anez being sentenced at the same time as the genre’s golden anniversary is fitting. Instead of seeing his violence against a woman as a stain on the record or a blip on the radar, let us view Lanez’s attack on Megan and hip-hop’s support of him as yet another notch in hip-hop’s belt. This is what it wants to be.

Women have left an indelible mark on hip-hop. We should salute and applaud them. But we should also recognize that they’ve achieved what they have despite the sexist and patriarchal environments they’ve been in, environments that have so often been indifferent, if not openly hostile to their success, their safety and their survival.

What is hip-hop’s community going to do as it begins its next 50 years to ensure that women will be valued? What are the genre’s influencers going to do to change a culture in which abusers aren’t just protected but are too often celebrated?

Through its silence on behalf of those who’ve been abused and its open affirmation of abusers, hip-hop makes it clear that, to borrow from an infamous bar in Jay Z’s song “30 Something,” they don’t respect the ones who got shot; they respect the shooters.

I can still recite “It Takes Two” word-for-word. I still have fond memories of how hip-hop shaped my youth and young adulthood, but I don’t see the world with the idyllic eyes of a child anymore.

There are very few spaces where Black women are safe, and the horrible response to Lanez shooting Meg is proof that hip-hop, in all this time, still isn’t one of them.

This post is part of MSNBC’s “Hip-Hop Is Universal” series, which celebrates the genre’s 50th anniversary and examines its future.

This is why I’m still outraged for meg it could have been any other black woman, I never felt more unsafe. Fuck everyone who has no respect for black women and doesn’t protect them.

I don’t care if these famous people who stood by that sociopath have either apologized or kept their distance nor them being legendary their meat sucking a degenerate is their legacy . Fuck them for this for life, stand in your discomfort, if you don’t like being called out on this. You were a bunch of meat sucking sluts and I’m shaming you and at the same time demanding you to do better. Stand in it!

#Instagram #megan thee stallion #i’m not sad for her #i’m outraged #i’m just glad she’s in a better place now #those people can speak for themselves they know who they are #and they can go straight to hell #they will pay for their crimes #for sucking that abusers meat #I’m not sad for her #I’m outraged #I’m just glad she’s in a better place now #As always a loud and sincere fuck you to everyone who has doubted her and supported that Canadian cuntery who must not be named #Those people can speak for themselves they know who they are #And they can go straight to hell #They will pay for their crimes #She went through unnecessary trauma for two years #That’s unforgivable #Next level fuckery #That that type of ish that would lead to an episode of snapped or deadly women #once again #🖕🏿daystar Peterson #annnnn boom #just like that #may all who come against black women rot #Don’t fuck with black women #If you can’t love them then at least don’t harm them #can’t wait to see that sociopath locked up on August 7th.#can’t wait to see that sociopath locked up on august 7th #That’s a sociopath.

(JNS) When Rabbi Erez Sherman of Sinai Temple in Los Angeles spoke with National Basketball Association analyst Ernie Johnson of TNT for Sherman’s podcast “Rabbi on The Sidelines” back in February, he did not expect that Johnson would reciprocate the gesture in November.

Yet there Sherman was on November 1, appearing in a national broadcast with Johnson and NBA legend Charles Barkley on a national broadcast. Barkley said on air that the NBA “dropped the ball” by not suspending Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving for linking an anti-Semitic movie on his Twitter page.

“The team or the league should have done something immediately,” Barkley said.

Asked by Johnson what he would say to Irving if they met, Sherman responded, “I would say, ‘Come into my synagogue, meet my children, learn about us as a community, teach our children what it means to be a human being in this great country of America and then good things can happen.’”

“Sports and faith intersect in a very deep way,” he added.

On several sports-related social media pages, many users claimed to agree with Irving.

Speaking to JNS by phone, Sherman said Barkley told him, “I’m worried about my own grandchildren and want to understand the intricacies of this from a rabbi.”

Barkley’s daughter is married to a Jewish man.

“In basketball, there’s out of bounds, and insulting faith is out of bounds,” Sherman, who has had NBA players train in his synagogue, told JNS.

Citing the teachings of the late British Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, Sherman said faith can be the solution instead of being the problem.

Anti-Semitic material was dropped on Sherman’s driveway a few weeks before the broadcast was aired.

“To be honest, I’m scared right now,” he said.

Sherman attended a multi-faith gathering with California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who listened to concerns pertaining to anti-Semitism.

“I think the question is, does [Irving] know what he is saying, and it seems like he knows what he is saying, and he doesn’t care,” Sherman said. “That’s the scary part.”

Barkley asked Sherman if he should blame political leaders for anti-Semitism.

“I said what I love as a rabbi is that we don’t talk about [former Vice President Mike] Pence or [Speaker of the House Nancy] Pelosi, we talk about Moses and Joshua,” said Sherman

Sherman dismissed Irving’s claim that he was not promoting the anti-Semitic movie by posting a tweet did not constitute promotion. The film lists what it describes are falsehoods spread by Jews, including that Jesus was Jewish and that 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust. It also refers to Jews as satanic.

Despite the fear he has over anti-Semitism, it is time for action, dialogue and education on a large scale to raise awareness among athletes, celebrities and whoever is willing to learn, Sherman affirmed.

Just seeing the nba wives fight thing first off anon wtf?😭 but one day Ayesha is gonna keep talking shit and get her ass dragged by one of those deranged ass fans and get her ass best for talking shit.

It also makes it easier since half of the teammates probably don’t like her (Ik dray don’t he liked a tweet about her look it up.) but she’s probably not a very nice person. I feel the same way about Steph now too idk why he never used to be this way but now he just has low energy it seems like and I feel like he just has a very mean streak in him like Ayesha I could be wrong but I’m not putting nothing pass his ass either.

no cause i agree with you. there’s something off there to me

Black Americans Say Oprah-Endorsed Emmanuel Acho Doesn’t Speak For Us, He’s Being Positioned By Elites As New Race Leader

Emmanuel Acho has attracted media attention and a celebrity following as the host of the controversial YouTube series, “Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man,” which focuses on racial issues.

His guests have included former President Barack Obama, Lil Wayne and actress-comedian Chelsea Handler. Oprah Winfrey called Acho a “dynamic” force in conversations about race and he has been praised by Jada Pinkett Smith, among others. Winfrey tapped Acho to be the first guest on her show, “The Oprah Conversation,” when it debuted on AppleTV in June 2020.

Acho’s show tackles such issues as mental health, defunding the police, police brutality and the national anthem protests.

A former linebacker for the NFL, Acho retired in 2015 and went to work at ESPN before moving to Fox Sports 1 as an analyst.

He was born in Dallas to Igbo immigrant parents, Dr. Sonny and Christie Acho from Isuikwuato, Nigeria, The Players Tribune reported.

A New York Times Bestselling author, Acho wrote the “Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man” before launching the YouTube series of the same name in 2020. The series has had more than 80 million views to date and is a 2021 Emmy nominee for Outstanding Short Form Non-fiction or Reality Series, according to the show’s website.

Despite Acho’s popularity, some Black Americans say he doesn’t represent them and that he’s being positioned as a new race leader by elites.

Acho’s recent tweet about track and field star Sha’Carri Richardson, who was banned from competing in the Olympics due to a failed marijuana drug test, earned him some less-than-favorable responses.

Acho has been accused in the past of obsessively bashing Richardson.

Richardson finished last in the recent 100-meter dash at the Prefontaine Classic. After the race, Richardson congratulated the winners but said people weren’t “done seeing her.”

Acho tweeted on Aug. 22, “You can’t tell people, ‘they gotta see me’ in a race and then be behind them the whole time. They literally can’t see you.”

Kiara @25kWatts tweeted back at Acho, “Does this mean Emmanuel Acho gave up the farce of speaking FOR Black Americans. He ain’t still pretending to be a buffer between Black America and white America, is he? Cause that post is straight up, nasty, mean-spirited, anti-Black American garbage”.

ADOS co-founder Yvette Carnell @BreakingBrown tweeted, “Acho‘s ‘getting comfortable’ agenda has netted him car commercials, a book deal, and a podcast. Race relations is not redress tho. Race relations is about making white people comfortable. Redress is about about making Black ppl whole.”

In 2020, Acho called out controversial Instagram posts by former Pro Bowl linebacker Brian Urlacher, who criticized NBA players after playoff games were postponed in response to the shooting of Jacob Blake by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin. “On the 65 year anniversary of Emmitt Till’s murder. Allow me to educate Brian Urlacher, and anyone else still unaware, as to the depths of black people’s pain. Love yall” Acho tweeted.

AADL – ADOS Anti-Defamation League @ADOSADL called out Acho in return. “How arrogant and ignorant? @EmmanuelAcho deceives himself and others saying he understands the “depths” and the pain of Black American #ADOS when his people were some of our original oppressors. How can you explain a pain your people helped cause without justice or remorse?”

Me reading Michael Jordan's birth chart

youtube

Let's go for this video I'll be quickly looking at Michael Jordan's sidereal and moon chart. The reason I chose to is because the NBA playoffs are on and in the basketball world. Michael Jordan is basically an icon. They still constantly bring him up even during the playoffs with comparisons to Anthony Edwards.

Outside of the NBA Michael Jordan is loved everywhere he goes so I wanted to know the cause of that. What makes a person get so much love from strangers everywhere they go? I've been thinking about that question heavily especially these past few weeks. I always thought Venus in the 1st or 7th house would be the cause of that. I kept thinking to myself Michael Jordan must have this placement but I never checked.

Until I made a tweet presuming he has it. About an hour later I checked he does indeed have Venus in the 7th house. His birth certificate was actually auctioned I think. Let me begin with his chart. I see he's a Gemini slash ardra ascendant. Which means he is a person that rescues or becomes a savior to people. Specifically people that are abused. In this case he does so with his in-laws. When he does help people out Michael Jordan wouldn't be all excited to do it and it would show in his communication.

I want to go away from his ascendant and talk about that Venus in the 7th house. Yep that's what makes Michael be loved by tons of strangers wherever he goes. Strangers of a different ethnicity and race because Venus is in Sagittarius so he also loves strangers of a different ethnicity as well. What this does though is this actually makes him attract a lot of female strangers. Not just that but religious females. Seeing A woman dressed in religious attire would actually turn on Michael Jordan. He is attracted to things like that. I'm starting to think Venus in the 1st or 7th house helps a person get fame.

Even his wife would be of a different ethnicity. Actually there are at least three indications of his wife being of a different ethnicity. Venus in the 7th house that shows a marriage being heavily about love. Two people really loving each other. From Michael Jordan's perspective he would love the difference in views, morals, cultural values that his wives or fiance brings. Due to that same Venus in Sagittarius.

Unfortunately though the sun is conjunct his 7th lord Jupiter in the 9th house. Which you know of course causes ego conflicts centered around Sagittarius things. Things such as religious views, or beliefs in anything. It is like a conundrum right? he gets excited due to his wife being of a different ethnicity or race. It is like a turn on for him. Yet due to the sun's influence on Jupiter especially during his sun or Jupiter antardashas. He is gonna have to deal with a wife that is very bossy in general. Not just bossy but independent with her belief system. Beliefs in anything. If she thinks traveling on Sundays are bad that would count as a part of her beliefs.

Michael Jordan is the same way because his sun is in the 9th house and conjunct Jupiter so he is a person that doesn't like to be told what to do when you think about it. As a result this arrogance comes out in his marriages. Arguments with the wifey about who is right and who is wrong. My way is better you should do it this way.Anyone that is on top of their astrology game knows the sun's influence increases the chances of a divorce very highly. I have yet to see someone not having to go through a divorce when the sun influences the 7th house.

There are two indications that show Michael not meeting his wives in New York like the 12th lord being in the 7th house. I honestly don't think his marriage ceremonies or engagement proposals would have taken place in New York. I gotta research it. I feel like something like an engagement proposal would have taken place on an airplane or during a vacation. There are too many indications for that. Shoots that's probably how he met his wives while he was on a vacation. After typing this I just checked his Wikipedia page and I just got reminded I was supposed to talk about his relationships a bit. Since his Venus plays an important. I won't say how in the future when I get popular I will but his sidereal chart clearly shows he will have love relationships or sexual partners with his business partners.

Then since the 7th house is involved I wonder if that was the reason why contracts were involved in his relationships or I guess secretive relationships in this case. I guess the placement I am looking at shows NDAs in a relationship. I could be completely wrong though because everything surrounding him and this Karla woman uses the words alleged and Jordan did won the court case. It does seem though that they legitimately had something going on. My assumption were that contracts were involved.

I want to briefly talk about. Is his the relationship he had with his father. He has the sun conjunct Jupiter. Keep in mind the sun represents his father and so does his 10th lord Jupiter. Those two planets conjunct in the 9th house of teachers shows that his father was a religious person with lots of morals as well. Then it shows that his father traveled a lot. Additionally the sun's impact on being in the 9th house made his father be a teacher or like a coach to Michael Jordan. Actually the Jupiter in the 9th house was the reason Michael got a college degree. His college major is geography. There is another placement that made him go to college but I don't want to mention it.His father had a lot of aquarius traits. As a result Michael inherited these aquarius traits. Which would be shown in let's say his religious beliefs.

Michael would be the type to want to know the scientific meaning behind religions. He would be the student to question what his teachers or even pastors have to say. Which makes him have rebellious or opposing views when it comes to religious. People's would think Jordan's religious beliefs are unorthodox or weird.If you pay attention I haven't discussed the nakshatras. Trust me when I read a birth chart me reading one house could look like a whole book so I am trying to skim through this. I'm surprised his higher education wasn't anything science or sociology related.

What caught my attention about his father was in his moon chart. The sun and Jupiter are both in the 4th house. Which made his mother become the father figure in his life. Evidently his sun rules his 10th house which makes the father become the mother figure in his life and vice versa. His mother would be the father figure in his life. This placement increases the chances of having a single parent. Idk how old Michael was when his father died thoughLol since sun and Jupiter are conjunct in the Aquarius sign 4th house. His mother carried a lot of aquarius traits too. I use his moon chart to demonstrate how all throughout this guy's birth chart there are double or even triple entendres. You could find one thing in his birth chart and there are like 2 other placements that confirm what you see.

Back to his sidereal chart. I still don't know what makes a person become an NBA player but seeing his 10th lord being in the 9th house definitely has something to do with it. More so the 9th house because even LeBron James has a similar placement with the 9th house. I'm guessing it's because NBA players travel a lot for work.In Michael Jordan's case his birth chart shows a person with an unusual work environment or career due to the Aquarius influence. Then since Jupiter is conjunct the sun that shows entrepreneurship. I'm still surprised this guy hasn't done something like counseling, consulting, or advising even coaching for his career. I could be wrong though he was like an owner of an NBA team.

Believe it or not I'm not really a Michael Jordan fanatic like most people are. It isn't a hater type of thing either. I just admire how this guy is supremely loved.Lastly what caught my eye at first was his Rahu and mars conjunction in the 2nd house. As well know that makes a person have uncontrollable or sporadic anger. This anger would come out through his speech or voice so out of nowhere he can just argue with someone. He could be calm one minute and boom just start shouting out of nowhere. It's clearly evident especially this conjunction being in the cancer sign. His anger would be seen in his facial expressions. Then you have to factor in his Saturn and mercury in the 8th house that would definitely factor in his way of speaking.I forgot to mention his Venus in the 7th house gives female business partners. I see he has a female business manager. Yeah this video is too long so I'm done.

The Top 7 NFT Use Cases

Massive interest in non-fungible tokens has led to a boom in crypto collectibles and NFT art. These are the two most important applications in the DeFi ecosystem, but they are not the same application. Scarcity and uniqueness make non-fungible tokens ideal for real assets, logistics, music royalties, and more. As NFTs mature, we expect to see more testing as well as greater adoption.

Before the advent of non-fungible tokens, it was very difficult to create digital scarcity of an asset. Even with legal protection, it is easy for consumers to copy or pirate artwork.

The evolution of NFTs has brought us art and digital products, but it doesn’t end there. You can use NFTs to prove the authenticity of a variety of unique and collectible items, from real estate to transportation.

Although the NFT ecosystem is still young, there are many interesting developments worth exploring; some of which have already created NFTs of great value.

Non-fungible tokens help solve the long-term problem of digital art scarcity. How do you manage the rarity of virtual artworks that you can print digitally? When fake art exists in the real world, we can verify its authenticity.

Increase the value of crypto art by digitally verifying its authenticity and ownership. Anyone can view CryptoPunk on the Ethereum blockchain and download or save images, but we have no way of proving that we have the original.

For example, anonymous digital expert Pak creates NFTs that are identical except for their names. Pak assigns different prices to each piece based on its name, such as “cheap”, “expensive” and “not for sale”. These collections make you think about what gives value to a work of art.

In the case of NFTs, their value does not necessarily depend on the charts. In some cases, it is more important to prove ownership of certain assets. This makes crypto art one of the most popular NFT use cases.

There is a huge demand for digital assets, whether it is PancakeSwap Bunny or Binance Anniversary NFT. This reference material has become a staple of NBA Top Shot, a collection of NBA NFT trading cards.

Alongside digital NFT images, these non-fungible tokens account for the majority of sales on NFT marketplaces like Anzali, BakerySwap, and Treasureland. There are many challenges with crypto art, and sometimes NFTs can be both a collectible and a work of art. These two applications are currently our oldest.

Jack Dorsey’s first tweet is a good example of NFT writing. While CryptoPunk is a collectible and visual work of art, Dorsey’s NFT adds value to his collection. Dorsey uses Key, a platform that tokenizes tweets, to sell NFTs. You can bid on a tweet. Anyone can take the time to make an attack and attack you. In this case, it is up to the tweeter to accept or reject the offer. If they accept, the tweet will be printed on the blockchain and a 1-to-1 NFT will be created with their signature.

Each NFT is signed by its true creator’s Twitter @handle; This means that only the original creator can mint their tweets as NFTs. This process creates a digitally rare item that can be exchanged or preserved. The concept of selling tweets may be a little difficult to understand, but it’s a good example of how NFTs can create a collective. It is essentially the digital version of a paper signature.

NFT Coin

It’s easy to forget that not all NFTs capitalize on music, photos, or collectibles. In decision-making finance (DeFi), NFTs also have unique financial benefits. Most people have some art as well, but their results come from their equipment.

For example, JustLiquidity has an NFT staking model. Users can participate in token pairs in the pool for a certain period and deposit NFTs into the next pool. NFTs act as tickets and are destroyed when you join a new pool. The second trading model for these NFTs is based on the access they provide.

Another example is BakerySwap’s NFT food portfolio, which gives holders more leverage. Using BAKE you will get information about NFTs that provide different resources. Users speculate on these links, sell them on the secondary market, or use them for contests. The combination of NFTs with gaming and DeFi creates another interesting use case for non-fungible tokens.

Gaming has a huge demand for unique items that can be traded and purchased. Their rarity directly affects their value, and players are already familiar with the concept of digital assets. Microtransactions and in-game purchases have created a multibillion-dollar gaming industry that can leverage NFT and blockchain technology.

This is also an exciting place to talk about what NFTs mean. Video game tokens provide performance, collectability, and utility. But NFTs for large-scale video games are still a long way off.

Other projects are currently working on adding blockchain technology to their games. Axie Infinity and Battle Pets are Pokémon-style games featuring pets and items. You can buy and sell tokens on external markets (peer-to-peer sales).

Gaming NFTs can be decorated, but many are also practical. All Axie pets have unique fighting abilities. These abilities also affect the market value of the animal. CryptoKitties are very important due to their excellent breeding characteristics. The value of each animal is determined by a combination of rarity, characteristics, and usefulness. In the example below we see not just one aspect that needs to be done, but rarely one, but many aspects. Music NFT

Just like image files or videos, you can add audio to an NFT to create a music collection. Think of this as a digital “first version” of the file. Adding a song to an NFT is similar to our standard artwork, but it has other uses as well.

One of the biggest problems of musicians is taking on a large amount of debt. But there are at least two ways to achieve this benefit: Blockchain-based streaming platforms and Blockchain copyright tracking. It will be difficult for a small blockchain project to compete with Amazon Music or YouTube for streaming services. Although giants such as Spotify purchased the blockchain solution called MediaChain in 2017, artists did not benefit much from it.

Meanwhile, smaller works were mostly done by independent artists. By adopting BNB, Rocki provides independent musicians with a platform where they can sell credits and publish music. The first valuable NFT sales on the platform raised 40 ETH, paying 50% royalties using the ERC721 token standard.

Whether this model becomes more popular will depend on the adoption of major streaming services. Combining music with NFTs is a great idea for reference materials, but it will be difficult to achieve without the support of musical scores.

Real World Assets NFTs

Linking real-world assets to NFTs could digitize the way we prove ownership. For example, in real estate, we often deal with physical titles. The tokenized assets that make up these contracts can move intangible assets, such as a home or land, onto the blockchain. We did not receive much support from the current administration for this application. It’s still in development, but it’s a game to look forward to.

In April 2021, Shane Dulgeroff created an NFT to represent a product in California. The token also comes with a crypto image. The winner of the contest will receive the NFT and ownership of the building. However, the legal nature of the sale and the rights of the buyer or seller have not yet been determined.

For small items like jewelry, NFTs can help prove legal ownership at the time of sale. For example, real, ethical diamonds often come with a certificate of authenticity. Certificates are also a way to prove your membership. Anyone who tries to resell the product without the certificate will not be able to confirm the authenticity of the product and will not be able to convince the buyer that he or she is the rightful owner.

NFT can also use the same concept. By linking the NFT to an asset, the owner of the NFT essentially becomes an asset owner. You can also place NFTs in cold wallet products. As the Internet of Things grows, we will see more NFTs being used to represent real assets.

Logistics NFT

Blockchain technology is also very useful in the logistics industry, especially due to its immutability and transparency. These features ensure that shipping information remains accurate and reliable. When it comes to food, produce, and other non-perishable items, it’s important to know where they are and how long they’ve been kept.

NFTs also have the advantage of representing specific assets. We may use NFTs to track products that contain metadata about their origin, travel, and storage location. For example:

A pair of luxury shoes is produced in a factory in Italy. He released an NFT where you can quickly control his voice.

Timestamped metadata includes when and where the shoe was created.

As the product progresses through the chain, the NFT is analyzed and new metadata is added. This information will include the storage location and arrival or departure times.

When the shoes arrive at their destination, the store can scan them and mark them as received. The authenticity of the shoe and the detailed history of its logistics journey can be viewed and verified.

There are many good ways to use NFTs on-chain. However, all of these require the use of the same infrastructure at every level of the chain. With so many different actors and stakeholders around the world, it can be difficult to implement these systems in real life. This problem results in very few real-life applications.

Currently, MAERSK’s TradeLens system and IBM’s Foot Trust are two examples of major blockchain logistics solutions. Both use IBM blockchain Hyperledger Fabric, which supports the use of NFTs. But it’s unclear whether it plays a role in the operation of NFTs.

Conclusion

As NFTs gain popularity, we will see more concepts and use cases in the future. Currently, not all NFT apps have enough time to bring an idea or small project to life. Sometimes it may not be used or popular. But for important and topical items like rare works of art and collectibles, NFTs are here.

NFT Marketplace Development: From Smart Contracts and Blockchain to UX Design and Legal Compliance

According to NonFungible.com , in the first quarter of 2021 the aggregate market capitalization of large NFT projects increased by 2,100% (the market grew by 300% in all of last year). Most NFTs sell instantly, and the most well-known ones have sold for almost $70 million. Additionally, celebrities are supporting the hype around NFT by tokenizing their music, paintings, memes, short videos, logos, computer codes, and the like.

That said, the main beneficiaries of the NFT market have been websites that offer the opportunity to buy and sell NFTs as easily as possible. In this article, we will briefly explain what NFTs are and where they can be used, as well as how to develop your own NFT marketplace and what they cost.

What is NFT?

A non-fungible token, or NFT, is a digital token that acts as an electronic certificate of ownership of physical or virtual assets such as photos, videos, tweets, computer codes, etc. Each NFT is a unique, non-exchangeable and indivisible digital asset. This means that, unlike bitcoin or ether, NFTs are not identical to each other, so they cannot be traded or exchanged in an equivalent manner and cannot be used for payment transactions.

NFTs can bring in crazy amounts of money. Some NFTs are, of course, more attractive and therefore people are willing to pay considerable sums for them, while other NFTs are sold for pennies. The principle of value creation in this market is simple: the more known (sought after) a lot is, the more expensive it is.

famous NFT :

Artist Beeple's digital collage “Every Day: The First 5,000 Days” sold at Christie's auction for an impressive $69 million.

The Twitter CEO's first tweet sold for $2.9 million.

The animated film Nyan Cat sold for $590,000 .

The CryptoKitties kitten sold for $172,000 .

How does the NFT Marketplace work?

Unlike bitcoin or ether, non-fungible tokens cannot be traded directly on conventional cryptocurrency exchanges. To buy and sell NFTs, special trading platforms are needed that allow non-tradable tokens to be issued, stored and traded. Currently, this industry is dominated by the sizable marketplaces OpenSea, Rarible, Superfarm, and Mintable.They create NFTs using specialised smart contracts that specify the fundamental properties of each token (name, immutability, indivisibility, address/number, etc.) and add a set of unique information (metadata) to each of these tokens. On the platform, non-fungible tokens can be purchased and sold at a set price or through auctions.

How do NFT market smart contracts work?

On the client side, NFT marketplaces Development work like normal online stores .The user can then use the listing to purchase NFTs or create their own token. Running an NFT is usually simple and similar to creating an eBay listing . You have to provide a name, a price, give a description and an image, photo, video, gif and the like.

Niches and applications of NFTs

Most NFTs are used to market all types of digital artwork, from digital copies of real paintings to memes. For example, on the OpenSea trading platform, you can buy, sell and transfer images, videos, gifs and music.

But fine arts are not the only area of application of non-tradable tokens.They can also be used to exchange investment proposals (Spencer DINWIDDIE contract), trading cards (NBA Top Shot), game characters (CryptoKitties), real estate (Mintable), virtual worlds (Metaverses), and any other area where tokenization is possible. possession of something. The secret is to develop a market that can support the desired property.

For example, if you want to develop an NFT marketplace for trading artworks, you essentially have to create a normal online store , the server side of which must be able to release, store, sell and exchange NFTs. This is relatively simple. These platforms must be able to work with MLS and state registry databases, identify the user's location, etc.

And so with each sphere. Here are some more examples:

Online learning : These marketplaces must offer a full range of services for online learning : from selling a training course to tracking the buyer's learning progress and communicating with instructors.

Investment projects: These types of NFT markets should function like a stock market for trading securities. That is, they must offer the possibility of issuing legally legal securities with the right to ownership, dividends or participation in profits.

Safety: Non-fungible tokens can function as access keys to content, software, a database, an operating system , or an event. To sell this type of NFT, the marketplace must be as secure and trustworthy as possible and support the most popular security features on the buyer's side (Touch ID, Face ID, Eye ID, etc.).

The video games: The sale and purchase of NFTs, which represent unique in-game assets or characters, typically take place within the game (in exchange for in-game currency) or at external online locations that ensure the secure exchange of real money for the in-game asset ( like on Steam). This implies a very close integration with the video game.

Main characteristics of the market

For the issuance of non-tradable tokens, the NFT trading platform combines the features of an online store, an auction, and a blockchain platform. Users ought to be able to produce and market their own NFT goods. Additionally, these markets typically include various features to draw in clients, keep them, and enhance their overall experience. The greatest place to start when creating your own nft marketplace with NFT marketplace development solution is by putting the following concepts into practice.

Showcase:This feature provides marketplace visitors with all the information they need about the item: title, price, description, preview, owner, purchase method, rating, etc. Some NFT marketplaces also provide information about the blockchain and token protocol so that users can verify the authenticity of the purchased NFT.

Search system :Make sure your users can easily find the item they are interested in. It would be a good idea to divide all assets into several categories, such as art, photography, video, domains, memes, and music, to make it easier for users to navigate the store listing. Filters also make navigation easier, especially if there are many similar articles on the platform.

Registration, login : In order to buy or sell NFTs on the platform, the user must create an account. Typically, the registration process is done through email, phone number, or social media accounts . Additionally, the user is also usually asked to provide their cryptocurrency address. If not available, the option to register is offered with links to cryptocurrency wallets such as Coinbase Wallet , Metamask, MyEtherWallet.

Create an ad: This process should be simple and not take much time. Ideally, it should be the same as on Ebay. To achieve this, you have to think about the optimal user path and implement something like the OpenSea collection manager. It helps you quickly upload an item to the site and specify token properties such as name, price, description, tags, external link, etc.

Wallet for NFTs: Users need a wallet to send, receive and store tokens and non-exchangeable cryptocurrencies. The easiest way to do this is to provide integration with the most popular cryptocurrency wallets. The main thing is that these wallets support the NFT protocol that you need. Typically, these are wallets like Metamask, MyEtherWallet, Coinbase Wallet, and WalletConnect.

Operation history : Typically, an NFT marketplace should have a section where the user can view their trading history. This way you can see the popularity of the market, what is sold there and at what price. For example, in OpenSea the bid history includes the following data: event, item name, price, buyer, seller, date.

Reviews and ratings :It shows the visitors' liking for the lot or the seller/buyer. This information helps users rate specific counterparties and lots. An article's rating is typically expressed as a numerical score or as "likes." All logged-in users have the ability to write comments, and feedback can also be provided by counterparties on one another after a transaction has been completed.

Notifications : You can implement a push notification system to inform users about new offers in the selected category or from the selected merchant, changes in the status of a selected item, a new message, the sale of your own lot or an update to the platform. NFT trading.

Support : An important element of any market. Users can solve issues and conflicts and get answers to their queries with the assistance of the support service.The help desk can be implemented as a call center, email support, a standalone information portal, or with the help of a help bot.

Rules for non-tradable tokens

To run the blockchain-based NFT, it is necessary to use certain token standards that guarantee that the asset will act in a certain way and demonstrate how to interact with the basic functions of the asset. Currently, the most popular standards for NFT release are:

ERC721 :It is used to uniquely identify something or someone from the Ether. It supports smart contracts and offers a permitted method of transferring assets using the transferFrom method.

ERC1155 :According to the standard, identifiers represent not only a unique asset, but a class of assets. Compared with the ERC721 standard, it is much more efficient. So, if you are a game developer and you want to sell 100 sets of armor, with ERC721 you would have to specify 100 smart pins, while with ERC1155 you would only have to specify one and the number of smart pins.

BEP : The largest cryptocurrency exchange , Binance , launched a new BSC blockchain with smart contact support and compatibility with the Ethereum virtual machine (EVM) at the end of the year. And it has ERC721 and ERC1155 counterparts for NFTs – BEP-721 and BEP-1155 respectively.

Stages of developing your NFT marketplace

An NFT trading platform for buying and selling is complex software whose development is best left to a development company with relevant experience, such as Merehead.Since 2015, we have assisted businesses and individuals with fintech and blockchain projects, ranging from wallets to cryptocurrency exchanges. To do this, our company can help you create a marketplace from scratch or clone an existing platform.

Step 1: Open the project

The first step in creating an NFT marketplace is for you and the development team to examine the details of your project to evaluate its technical feasibility.

Here you must answer the questions:

What niche will you operate in?

How exactly are you going to market the NFT?

Who is your main target audience?

What token protocol are you going to use?

What technology stack are you going to use?

What monetization model will you use?

What features do you intend to implement?

Step 2: Design and development

When all the technical requirements and development plan have been agreed upon, the development team can get to work. First, you, the business analyst and/or designers design the marketplace user interface (framework, mockups and prototypes) with a description of the user flows and platform functions. An effective architecture for the trading platform is also created.

UX/UI Design Navigation and the appearance of the user interface are very important when developing an NFT marketplace, as the first impression, usability, and overall user experience depend on it. Therefore, make sure your site design is attractive to your audience and simple enough to be understood by anyone even remotely familiar with Amazon and Ebay.

How Do You Create Your Own NFT Market?

Smart contracts and the back end Your trading platform's whole back end runs at this level. When building it, you must also include blockchain, smart contracts, wallets, and an auction mechanism (most NFTs sell through it), in addition to the standard business logic and marketplace functions.

NFT marketplace's backend technology stack:

Ethereum blockchain; Binance Smart Chain.

Token standards include BEP-721, BEP-1155, ERC721, and ERC1155.

Ethereum frameworks: Spring, Symfony, and Flask Smart contracts.

Java, PHP, and Python are programming languages.

MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MS SQL, and Oracle are all SQL databases.

MongoDB, Cassandra, and DynamoDB are NoSQL databases.

Elasticsearch and Apache Solr are two search engines.

DevOps Cache: Memcached and Redis.

The entrance : This is the entirety of the trading platform's external component, which manages communication with end users. The fundamental goal of front-end development is to guarantee dependability, performance, and ease of management. Here is an illustration of a tech stack for an NFT marketplace's front end:

Web programming languages: Backbone, Ember, Angular.JS, and React.JS.

Step 3: Put your creation to the test

To make sure the platform operates properly, numerous cycles of code testing are run throughout this phase. The QA team runs a number of tests to guarantee that the project code is free of serious flaws and defects. In addition, all conceivable use scenarios of the platform are subjected to content, usability, security, reliability, and performance evaluations.

Deployment and support in Step 4

It's time to install your NFT trading platform on a server (the cloud) when the platform has been tested. Please be aware that organising your support team will come after you complete this stage. The platform's future development must also be planned to reflect consumer preferences and industry developments.

The price

The amount of features and degree of management and navigation complexity determine the cost of building an NFT marketplace. would the user be able to mint their own NFTs or would they have to purchase them all at once? On the board, will it be possible to build your own NFTs, or is it just a market for users? What remedies will be implemented during the development? The NFT market's entry-level prices typically range from $20,000 to $80,000. The cost could exceed $300,000 if you choose to build a sizable platform that competes with OpenSea.

When You Make A Transaction On The Blockchain, You Must Pay A Gas Fee To The Network To Have Your Transaction Included In The Next Block. This Fee Is Paid In Crypto currency, Such As Ether (ETH) In The Case Of Ethereum, And It Is Used To Compensate The Miners Who Validate And Process The Transaction.

The Amount Of Gas Fee You Need To Pay Depends On The Complexity Of The Transaction And The Current Demand For Transactions On The Network. If The Network Is Congested And There Are Many Transactions Waiting To Be Processed, The Gas Fee Will Be Higher To Incentivize Miners To Process Your Transaction More Quickly.

Gas Fees Are Typically Measured In A Unit Called "Gwei", Which Is A Fraction Of An Ether. For Example, A Gas Fee Of 10 Gwei Means That You Are Paying 0.00000001 Ether For Each Unit Of Gas Used In The Transaction.

It's Important To Note That Gas Fees Can Be Quite Volatile And Can Fluctuate Rapidly Based On Network Demand. If You Are Buying Or Selling Nfts On A Marketplace, You Will Typically Need To Pay A Gas Fee To Complete The Transaction. Make Sure To Keep An Eye On The Gas Fee When Making Transactions To Avoid Overpaying Or Having Your Transaction Stuck In Limbo. Some Marketplaces Will Also Offer The Option To Speed Up The Transaction By Increasing The Gas Fee If You Want The Transaction To Be Processed Faster.

In Summary, Gas Fees Are The Transaction Fees Charged By The Blockchain Network To Process Transactions. They Are Typically Paid In Crypto Currency And Can Fluctuate Based On Network Demand. When Dealing With Nfts, It's Important To Keep An Eye On Gas Fees To Avoid Overpaying Or Having Your Transaction Stuck In Limbo.
