I Watched The First Episode of Mr. Birchum (Summary/Review)

2024.05.13 20:51 Calm_Extreme1532 I Watched The First Episode of Mr. Birchum (Summary/Review)

I Watched The First Episode of Mr. Birchum (Summary/Review)
I had some time to kill so I decided to sit down and watch the first episode of this and write up a run down for it since the sub was collectively shitting on it the other day. You can find the full first episode for free on the Daily Wire site, so if you want to watch it over there and then discuss it here then feel free. Below are spoilers for it though.
The series starts with Birchum and his childhood best friend Gage placing bets on the first student to insult either of them on their first day back to school as teachers, only for Birchum to immediately get insulted. Gage points out how crazy it is that kids hate Birchum so much that they can’t even make it out of the parking lot without getting insulted, which I found funny because it almost serves as meta commentary for the initial reaction to the show when it was announced.
Birchum and Gage meet Mr. Karponzi, a JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion) officer and they all take an immediate disliking towards each other because Birchum and Gage have traditionally masculine teaching methods as shop teachers. Birchum’s teaching philosophy is that wood doesn’t care about your feelings. If you hurt wood, wood will hurt you back. Wood doesn’t discriminate. Its only true enemy is the donkey system, where he acts out donkey demerit points to students if they act stupid, abuse the tools, or just simply doesn’t like the students. Every time they get a donkey point, it moves them across the board, and if they get to the end then they have to sit down at the makeshift corral.
When teaching remedial woodshop, Birchum has a student aid named Brad (who is voiced by the same VA as Johnny Test I think) and he is able to forge Birchum’s signatures and change any of the students grades at will. He says this in front of the class, which makes you question why considering the students can probably use this information against him.
Principal Bortles (voiced by Roseanne Barr) comes into the class to inform Birchum that Karponzi has banned his safety film for being problematic because it shows blood. He shows it anyways though once they leave.
Back at his house, he gets into an argument with his wife Wendi (voice by Megyn Kelly) for feeding their dog vegan food. Then he gives advice to his tomboy daughter Jeanie (voiced by Brett Cooper) to just set the microwave to 33 seconds instead of 30 seconds because it wastes time. His twenty-year old son Eddie that plays professional e-sports comes in and tells him that he can just push the 30 second button, but Birchum just calls him lazy. Birchum gets frustrated that Eddie isn’t sitting down with the rest of the family to eat and is instead just gaming in the basement. Birchum gets annoyed at Eddie for not having a girlfriend, sitting in a vibrating chair, and drinking energy drinks made in a lab in Wuhan. I don’t even really know what they’re trying to satirize with the energy drink.
Back at the school, some parents are complaining about Birchum’s shop class video because it made someone’s kid ask them questions like what decapitate means and if they can go to trade school. Karponzi decides to add getting rid of Birchum to his to do list along with decolonizing the cafeteria menu and updating Tinder with protesting pics.
Wendi and Jeanie meanwhile are trying to make houses on the market look presentable to help Wendi’s job as a realtor. Jeanie gets into a disagreement with Wendi over how everything is decorated, and ends up ruining the fireplace by scraping the white paint off of it. The b-plot ends with Jeanie handcuffing herself to the fireplace to not allow for anymore white paint to be put on it, which makes the buyers not want to buy the house, but Wendi says that she’s proud of because she stuck to her convictions. That takeaway was really weird to me. Jeanie not only vandalizes property that isn’t hers because she doesn’t like how it looks, but she also directly negatively impacts her mother’s livelihood by scaring off potential buyers. Why exactly does she deserve praise for acting like a selfish little shit? If these were leftist protesters blocking traffic or vandalizing other people’s property for their pet issues I have no doubt that any of the Daily Wire hosts would have any problem rightfully calling those people a bunch of losers, but the show just tells us that Jeanie did the right thing by acting in the exact same fashion.
While doing laundry, Birchum asks why Eddie doesn’t like doing physical sports and he just flashbacks to playing little league as a kid and Birchum freaking out after he struck out.
The main plot continues with everyone in Birchum’s class is at risk of failing, so he gives them all an opportunity to pass his class by showing up to his house to finish his deck. Karponzi records this and uses this as justification for a disciplinary tribunal, which is a sort of trial that determines if he should get fired or not. At the tribunal, Birchum defends himself by saying that he’s actually teaching kids how to apply the skills they learned in his class to actually build things and points out how teachers even asked him and his students to build things for them. Everyone in the crowd erupts in cheer after hearing Birchum’s speech and wave around American flags and play patriotic music.
In the end Birchum only gets a three day suspension from work which he treats as a vacation. The C-plot (if you can even call it that) ends with Birchum meeting some attractive woman Eddie invited over who says that he is so cool and hot because he’s a great gamer, which changes Birchum’s opinion of him slightly.
All and all it was exactly what I was expecting, a lazy Family Guy knockoff. I see a lot of people saying that’s an unfair criticism, but I didn’t even mention any of the unfunny cutaway gags throughout the summary. You have vegan wolves and bears going around complaining about not getting the right coffee and getting mauled to death as the punchline. They also have a lot of in your face political references that are just brought up randomly out of nowhere. In one scene Wendi says that a part of her job is to sell people dreams that have no basis in reality, and Jeanie responds by saying “oh so like the Green New Deal?” And there’s a forced moment of silence as if she just had a mic drop moment. It’s so lame.
The main character is annoying and unfunny. There’s no cohesive plot as it feels like a series of unrelated sketches with some random b and c plots sprinkled in. Scenes seem to start and end at random, making you question what the point even was in having them. The humor consists entirely of ‘young people amirite’ and 'checkmate libtards' which are dated, as you can see every punchline coming a mile away. The voice acting is generally pretty poor, everyone apart from the main cast sounds like they recorded it on their phone while sitting on the toilet. Character designs also look ugly, with some characters having some weird anatomies to them.
For years hosts at The Daily Wire complained about the ham-fisted content and ideological shallowness coming from Hollywood, but when they were given the opportunity to actually make something good they fall into the same trap. You are generally not going to make something good if your primary concern is pushing your ideology over making good entertainment first.
Analyzing humour and parodying others requires some level empathy and the understanding of what drives the people being satirized to make it effective and not just propaganda, which the writers of this show lack. There’s nothing nuanced about the manbun Jedi guy which just relegates him to being a one-note joke.
That's why every attempt to lambaste the left in animation just results in shows where the whole joke is just complaining about newgen trendy thing while assuming the viewer will clap because they agree with boomer takes. Yeah, I’m sure EVERY young conservative agrees with boomers on everything.
This will likely be my only post on the show unless it does something really interesting, which I doubt. It prides itself on being so raunchy and offensive while being completely safe and inoffensive. Episodes of Family Guy are more offensive than this show, and that’s made by a bunch of liberals.

2024.05.09 16:19 MasterpieceFun2065 Bromance

I can definitely relate. Sounds pretty close to my own experience growing up. There just seems to be so much outward pressure on guys to be something they're not. If we get too close or dare we say love another guy, it seems we're damned either way.
One: straight people simply assume two guys who are close must be gay and are having raunchy gay sex. Even if they aren't having gay sex they obviously want to and therefore must be shamed in public and their relationship ridiculed.
Two: gay people simply assume the 2 guys are gay...and must, therefore, have gay sex. If they aren't having gay sex then they must be shamed as homophobic and must be actively destroyed.
I'm not sure where the imaginary line in the sand is, but culture today has become obsessed with sex. I honestly have never known personally a straight friend who has to hook up every day of the week. I also know that married people typically don't think about horndogging it every day either. Yet we seem to assume this is the norm...people having sex all the time. Or that they should. The guys I know who are gay laugh when I ask them how often they do it. So why the obsession with sex?
Honestly, a nice cup of coffee and a conversation with our clothes on goes pretty far in my book. I really don't care if you can cum 10 times a day. Yet, media seems to enjoy cramming down our throats that intimacy and sex are the same. I completely disagree. I like guys, yes. A guy who works out and has a ripped body and takes his shirt off???? Yes, I'm gonna take a second look. Probably a 20th too. Call me a creeper, whatever. You work that hard on your body I feel I should at least appreciate it. However, intimacy is something completely different.
Caring about someone is completely different. Love is an action verb. Sex is simply a noun. Yes, I know today's culture wants to turn sex into an action verb, but it's still a thing. Love and caring about someone else puts their lives above our own at times. We open the door for them. Buy them lunch. Listen. Actually listen to what they are talking about. Giving them the last cookie. Cooking them their favorite dinner. Going out for a beer. Taking their car and filling it up with gas...even though they could do it themselves.
I find it sad that so much in our lives is being dictated to us by people we don't even know. Media says everything we are is ultimately based in our sexuality. We are gay, straight, trans, bi, or any one of a thousand idiotic genders. I'm breaking away from that. I am me. And from what I read online and what I hear from friends and family is that we're tired of the elitist attitude of culture. We're losing out on quality relationships because of labels. We're tired of constantly being told we should be offended. About everything. Relax. You're going to be offended. Just read the down votes that come after I post this. I don't care.
I get offended every day yet still can be loved and love. I can still be nice to someone I disagree with. That's called life. And somewhere someone gets offended if I share my hammock with my buddy. No we didn't have sex. He's straight. Does it mean my son had gay in mind when he sat next to me on the couch in his 20s and fell asleep on me? No for crying out loud. I really get tired of the idiots who seem to think they're the only ones who are right.
Perhaps I'm wrong. I'm ok with that, but so far I've found the same as you. Guys that are afraid to be labeled gay or guys afraid that if they get close to another guy sex is inevitable. It's not. Two men CAN be best friends and be intimate without sex.
Of course sex isn't bad either. Lol Just kidding. Or am I? I do miss the banter.

2024.05.04 06:17 TheAlternianHelmsman I’ve thrown him around a few times but here’s Mamoru’s own post

Cherry is a nickname because of the cherry red lipstick he wears. He’s a gay Vietnamese man, 43 years old and has a son from his ex wife who he married in an effort to pretend he wasn’t gay. He likes fashion (clearly), roller hockey and used to do graffiti art but stoped when he was like, 20. He’s fairly tall and strong despite his deceiving appearance and has killed a man with his bare fists (for good reasons, protecting his teenage son). He lost his legs by accidentally getting ran over by the bus of a jpop star who had a crush on him at one point because somehow all of the women in this universe are blind. There’s a lot more to say about him but it’s pretty raunchy, important take away from that stuff would be he wants to find real love from someone who doesn’t want to use him

2024.04.26 10:27 CultureofNarcissism Some Funny Excerpts from Perfume: the A to Z Guide

In my continuous effort to better understand perfumery, I decided to read the 2008 and 2018 editions of Perfume: the A to Z Guide by Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez. Much of the page-count is dedicated to snappy and sometimes scathing fragrance reviews. Many of these reviews are super entertaining—especially when they are lambasting a seemingly well loved or inoffensive scent. Since I enjoyed reading them so much, I wanted to share some of my favorite reviews for everyone to enjoy. Each fragrance is rated from one to five stars and assigned a two word scent profile. In addition, the fragrances featured in the 2008 edition are stratified by price level.
Here are the excerpted reviews:
Do Son (Diptyque) ★ alleged tuberose $$ Coming out at roughly the same time as Carnal Flower (Frédéric Malle), Do Son never stood much of a chance with tuberose lovers. It didn’t have the budget: the whole thing seems chemical and empty, and, after an okay fresh floral start, alternates between cloying and stale. Rose 31 (Le Labo) ★★ not rose $$ This aldehydic carrot juice was, unaccountably, composed by the brilliant Daphné Bugey, of Firmenich, who did Kenzo Amour and four sensational (and as yet unavailable) Coty reconstructions. Is Le Labo some sort of rehab where perfumers go when their noses are tired? Flowerbomb (Viktor & Rolf) ★ sugary floral $$$ Post-Angel sweet-tooth fantasia that smells like a shop where you buy gummies by the pound. Someone will object, “But it’s rosy!” True. Bright Crystal (Versace) ★ nasty floral $$ Hideously screechy. Sécrétions Magnifiques (Etat Libre d’Orange) ★★★★★ nautical floral $$ Stupendous secretions! The Dada name had me drooling. The fragrance is both less and far more than I expected: It is not an animalic (supposedly) raunchy thing that works on the assumption that we collect soiled underwear or frequent the same nightclubs as cats and dogs. It is, however, an elegant fresh floral in the manner of Parfums de Nicolaï’s Odalisque, given a demonic twist by a touch of a stupendous bilge note, which, my vibrational nose tells me, can only be a nitrile. I remember years ago mounting an impassioned defense of a forgotten Quest material called Marenil, which smelled just like that: oily, metallic, entirely wrong, and begging to be used intelligently. I’m delighted to see it was possible. Baccarat Rouge 540 (Maison Francis Kurkdjian) ★★★ fruity cola For Americans roughly my age, this will ineluctably bring to mind memories of sipping on a blue can of liquid sugar called Hawaiian Punch. The rest of you, just count on this oriental being a fruity, syrupy experience. Much less than the grand perfume it purports to be. (The Extrait is the same at higher concentration.) Mojave Ghost (Byredo) ★★ musk violet Oily violets. Good Girl Gone Bad (Kilian) ★★★ peach fuzz So many of the embarrassing names of Kilian’s fragrances sound like tracks I somehow never heard of from a 1970s one-hit-wonders collection. This is a solid if unexciting peachy floral with some nutty-lactonic-woody blur borrowed from Gucci Rush (1999). Replica: By the Fireplace (Maison Martin Margiela) ★ clove balsam Ten-foot-tall Yankee Candle. The stuff of nightmares. The Soft Lawn (Imaginary Authors) ★★ linden oakmoss The top accord has a lovely, gentle, nostalgic air, simultaneously fresh and dusty, an idea of retro that includes a fondness for the fading, like the palette of a Wes Anderson film. As it goes on it turns unfortunately cucumber-bath-gel and thin. Panda (Zoologist) ★★ patchouli apple I don’t really understand this fragrance, like some kind of apple-scented wood glue. If that’s what the kids want, they can have it. Halfeti (Penhaligon’s) ★ amber musk A truly ghastly confection of pastry and musk. One of the worst fragrances ever.
Final Message:
It is important to note that this selection is probably 1% of the reviews total; there are so many others across both books that I couldn’t fit in just one post. If you love perfume criticism (or don’t want to wade through hundreds of Fragrantica comments), I would definitely recommend these books (each edition reviews a different set of scents). Thank you!

2024.04.25 21:59 ThrowRA_thisiscalm How do I (30F) deal with my MIL (70F)that makes my skin crawl?

Hi all, Long time reader, first time writer. I need help figuring out how to deal with my situation and thought outside opinions would be helpful because they are unbiased. I (30F) have been with my now fiancé (31M) for 7 years. We have lived together for 5 of those years. He is truly the best and I can’t imagine anyone more perfect for me than him. Obviously we have spats and irks like every couple, but there is one topic that I genuinely consider a major issue in our relationship. His mother (70F) makes me VERY uncomfortable to the point I actively avoid seeing them, they live in another state and my fiancés job is so demanding I usually make all our plans. My family lives in the same state and we see them about once every 3 months, we may see his parents once a year. We have lived in the same city the entirety of our relationship and she has visited us twice, this is a 4 hour car ride distance. They talk everyday on the phone, typically when he’s coming home from work. The problem is I struggle with how she speaks to me. She likes to say things that are raunchy and very inappropriate, usually directed about someone’s appearance or sexual appeal. She has commented on my body several times over the years; asking me if my butt was real at the beach, if my boobs were new because they looked perkier, telling me that my dad was “just her type” when she asked to see a photo of my family (please keep in mind her husband was in the room and my mom was in the photo too), and when we were getting dessert after a concert and she saw three girls going to a bar she said “oh dressing like that is how you get SA’d”. The first time I met her she asked if I kept her son “satisfied” and to have s3x at least 4 times a week. There are a ton more instances, but you get the idea. My fiancé and her are so close, and I don’t want to be the one that comes between them but I can’t stand up for myself because if I tell her to stop, she cries to my fiancé and his reply is “she’s old and won’t change, please just get along”. I need help with how to deal with this because I’m at my wits end. How do I establish my boundaries to both him and his mother because I really don’t want to be subjected to her comments on my body.

2024.04.25 20:36 psycwave What does each Cowboy Carter song actually mean?

Hello Beyhive! Now that Cowboy Carter has been out for nearly a month, I was wondering if everyone has managed to get to the bottom of what each song means. I am not American or Black and English isn't my first language, and feel like I am missing a lot of the references that make this album what it is. Of course I understood what a handful of the songs mean, but can y'all help me fill out this list? I would love any and all additional context you can give me, and am excited to hear your individual interpretations and theories! I am especially excited to be educated about the political subtext and commentary in this album, because there's a lot going on but I can't quite figure out what some of the songs are about. I do get the feeling that at several points there is subliminal messaging trying to tell us something or wake us up to things that have been obfuscated. Please correct me if any of these are wrong or missing details, I will edit stuff into it based on your comments!
  1. Ameriican Requiem - Addresses the gatekeeping and exclusion she faced from country music institutions, and attacks the revisionism of history as a whole, which is what led to the erasure of the Black roots of country music. She calls out the deception and exploitation people have been subject to at the hands of the American media, and declares a renewed need to take a stand against it.
  2. Blackbiird - A cover of the Beatles' original that Paul McCartney wrote in support of the Civil Rights Movement, metaphorically referencing resilience and overcoming adversity and struggle. Beyoncé reinforces the message while co-signing the Black country singers featured on the song.
  3. 16 Carriages - Reflects on her own experiences as an artist in the industry and the sacrifices she has had to make, as well as the sacrifices she has seen her parents make. She reflects on all the time she has spent on the road while on tour, and all the hard work she has put in.
  4. Protector - Highlights her gratitude for the blessings of motherhood and her commitment to her purpose as a mother, reinforcing her promise to be her children's protector forever.
  5. My Rose - Addressed to her son, and wishing for him to be able to accept all his flaws and love himself rather than feel shame about the things that make him different.
  6. Smoke Hour ⭐ Willie Nelson - A message from Willie Nelson reminding listeners that music is fundamentally about escapism and fun, and that if they don't like something they can always go listen to something else.
  7. Texas Hold 'Em - A love song demanding that her partner 'lay his cards down' and just be himself with her, and to be transparent and genuine rather than play games or create distance.
  8. Bodyguard - An upbeat love song where she celebrates her deep bond with her man and declares that she will be his 'bodyguard' and best friend, and keep him to herself.
  9. Dolly P - A message from Dolly Parton likening the character Jolene to the 'Becky with the good hair' mentioned on Lemonade in Sorry, calling out both women for trying to steal their partners.
  10. Jolene - A cover of Dolly Parton's original with the lyrics revised to warn another woman to stay away from her and her man because their bond is too strong to break, rather than beg in desperation for the other woman to stay away.
  11. Daughter - Reflects that while she has had a strained relationship with her father in the past, she still has several things in common with him and that she is as 'cold' as him. This serves as a further warning to her man and the other woman to never cross her, since she will retaliate.
  12. Spaghettii - Challenges the concept of 'genres' and their exclusivity, tying in with her larger message of wanting people to listen to all kinds of music without preconceived notions. She attacks the manner in which country music was plagiarized and appropriated from Black people and expresses her disgust at the notion that she is not allowed to participate in it.
  13. Alligator Tears - A play on 'crocodile tears' in reference to the fake victimhood and invalid outrage expressed by trolls and White people who criticize her artistic choices and attempt to regulate what she is or isn't allowed to do as a Black artist and individual.
  14. Smoke Hour II - Another message from Willie Nelson reiterating to listeners that they are always allowed to drop their preconceived notions and be open to styles of music that they usually would not listen to.
  15. Just For Fun - Acknowledges the pain and sacrifice she has had to go through for the sake of her career and for the larger purpose she has undertaken with her career, even if it might appear to others that she is doing it 'just for fun'.
  16. II Most Wanted - A romantic jam celebrating a deep romantic bond and pledging to be her partner's 'shotgun rider' and stick together with him forever.
  17. Levii's Jeans - A soft love song using the metaphor of jeans to describe her man keeping her close and hugging her body all night.
  18. Flamenco -
  19. The Linda Martell Show - An introduction to Ya Ya in which Linda Martell celebrates music that spans multiple genres, and the uniqueness that that creates.
  20. Ya Ya - Calls for everybody to enjoy themselves and indulge in liberation and hedonism even in the face of harsh, oppressive circumstances, while also serving as a tribute to the artists that toured the Rodeo Chitlin' circuit and the different styles of music that they brought to those venues.
  21. Oh Louisiana -
  22. Desert Eagle - A raunchy, escapist sex jam describing her intense desire for her partner and her fantasies about getting it on in the back seat, on the sink, and everywhere else.
  23. Riiverdance - An ode to the dance floor, likening it to a river that people bathe in to be baptized and freed from their sins. She invites everybody to come dance, feel love, and move freely.
  24. II Hands II Heaven - Describes her hands being up in the air as she prays for forgiveness and deliverance, and also as she optimistically dances with two hands up, letting loose and liberating herself from everything.
  25. Tyrant -
  26. Sweet ⭐ Honey ⭐ Buckin' - A three-part song with the first chapter highlighting the warmth she feels from returning home and reconnecting with her family and heritage. The second part is a seductive sex jam tempting her partner to come lose himself with her. The third part represents her intention to buck the haters, buck conventions, buck limitations, buck the revisionism of history, buck the media, buck the government, and just buck everything in general.
  27. Amen - A reprise of Ameriican Requiem, underscoring the mind control we have faced at the hands of the tyrannical government and media over decades, and declaring a need to bring an end to it.
Edit: Thank you everyone for all of this! I've got everything except Flamenco, Oh Louisiana, and Tyrant... send help!

2024.04.25 17:05 sadclownwp D&D Group of 12 Years Breaking Up Because Of Kids

I've had a group of core D&D players(5 great friends) for 12, almost 13 years. We started playing together in college. It became a way for all of us to stay in touch. We play once every 3 or 4 weeks. Used to play at each others homes, alternating on who hosted. Now as time has gone on, we are all spread farther apart and play online. Twice a year we still travel to someones place and go all out on a D&D weekend. These are my happy times. We drink, party, play, cook, get nostalgic, and usually end up calling off Monday morning.
Two of the members met at the table back in college. They got married and had kids. One kid is good, the other is a little shit of epic proportions. They are 10 and 11. This has never really been an issue besides the kids interrupting the game from time to time. They always got babysitters for live games, and left the kids with family or friends for our travel games.
Fast forward to 2 months ago... Steve and Lindsey approached the group about their kids wanting to play, even wanting to travel with them for the games. "It will be so fun for the kids to play with us," they say... Our games are full of drinking, cursing, raunchy, graphic death descriptions sometimes, and we get drunk and play late. Our in person games sometimes go till people pass out or the sun comes up. Not a place for children.
They kept bringing up the kids joining, well last session (before our annual May get together) they brought it up again. They want to bring the kids and introduce them to D&D at our in person game. The group voted no kids. They are not the only ones with kids. Jessica also has a son around the same age, but she wants him nowhere near our game. The game is our escape from real life. Our live game is in a cabin in Gatlinburg TN this year, as Jessica is hosting and her Knoxville apartment will not comfortably fit us all. We went all out. Cabin is already paid for, costumes been made or currently worked on. Candles for light bought, music selected and edited. Like I said, we go all out.
We had a group call on Discord Monday and no one wants the kids there, except for their parents. Now Steve and Lindsey are saying they are not coming if their kids can't come. They also can't continue to play if their kids are not welcome. They want their money back on the cabin which we all split equally. Roughly $200 a player. This is not cool, some of us have booked flights. One of the players is coming in from Seattle and we are driving down together from my place 10 hours away.
Freaking parents, yet I still love them like a brother and sister. Now if we cancel we are all out some money. Loosing deposits and incurring cancellation fees(some more than others). If we don't cancel, we feel the entire weekend will have a shadow hanging over it. Everyone is kinda bummed out.
Thank you all for allowing me to vent here.

2024.03.24 22:32 AlliKat95 Horrible DJ agreed to give me a partial refund but has yet to

My husband and I’s wedding was back in mid September of 2023. Our original DJ cancelled a week before our event due to Covid, which is understandable. He told us he would send out his assistant. I reached out to his assistant to send over all the information, which included a four hour list of songs, venue info, a play by play schedule (down to a t because we were told we had to be out at a very specific time). He was off the bat very aloof. I tried to set up a time to chat with him but he kept putting it off.
Fast forward to the wedding, he’s late. He got there maybe 30 minutes before the ceremony. He was supposed to play some specific songs while guests were being seated, but it was dead silent. He texted me while I was finishing getting ready and asks for the bride and grooms names. This made me panic since he didn’t know this nor did he know he was texting me. The ceremony went extremely smoothly, luckily.
I went back to the suite to relax for a bit and change into a different dress. Mind you, neither of these dresses had pockets so I didn’t have my phone on me. As I’m walking over with my husband so we can be introduced he texts me and asks when he should announce us. Sort of annoying since I gave him a schedule and it says, but I just brush it off. He announces us just fine, we follow the schedule for a bit. However during dinner he continued to play the happy hour playlist(which is just slow jazz) and didn’t change it to the four hour playlist until after dinner(a whole hour and a half later) My husband and I go take photos outside while everyone is mingling. The DJ puts on the most raunchy rap(this is why I made the four hour playlist..I only wanted those songs played). I sent a friend to go tell him to stick to the playlist since we had older family and didn’t feel it was appropriate. This is definitely the part that I can’t forgive… he announces us again but this time says “Abbey”. My name is Allison(normally I go by Alli, but asked him to refer to me as Allison since it was a formal event). Everyone in the venue caught it too. This was embarrassing and my friends still poke fun at it. After our motheson, fathedaughter, and first dance we were getting ready for the speeches. I let him know we were about to do the speeches…but he never announced them. He just handed me the microphone and did a “okay come on” kind of gesture. I was annoyed because I expected him to AT LEAST announce that we were going to do some speeches, that way it wasn’t awkward.
Lastly, he just completely stopped following the schedule whatsoever. The bouquet toss and cake cutting ended up being two hours later than scheduled. I just feel like we didn’t get what we paid for. All I asked for was someone who could play the music I gave them, announce when things were happening, and get my name right. I’ve been in contact with the original DJ and he agreed to give me a partial refund since it was such a mess. However, he’s been dragging it out for so long. Originally I asked back in September but he claimed the season was slow so he needed some time to come up with the money. That’s fine, so I checked back in a couple months. He agreed he would send it over “next week” or “within the weekend”. It’s been almost three weeks of back and forth, is there anything I can do? I don’t want to be a jerk, but this is frustrating.
Also to add another slap to the face, I emailed him on a Saturday night and figured he would get back to me on Monday. Monday came and went, as did Tuesday. Wednesday morning I sent an email to the venue owner (since I originally paid through her and she recommended him). No reply from her but he replies with “I’ll have this out your way by the weekend! Please allow 24-48 hrs response time via email. All emails sent on weekends will be answered first thing Monday so that we may give our brides our undivided attention the day of their event.” 1) I sent it Saturday and didn’t get a reply until Wednesday…2) okay what happened to husband and I’s so called “undivided attention”?

2024.03.05 00:09 XPacmvNX "BLUE LIPS" ALBUM REVIEW.

MY OFFICIAL REVIEW OF SCHOOLBOY Q's, "BLUE LIPS" ALBUM.

tHis is about to be janky as sHit, just follow me tHougH..

1. FUNNY GUY
tHis track starts off like we're entering tHe fucking twigHligHt zone, sHit sounds like tHe House falling in tHe "Wizard of OZ" I stg.
You can Hear Q in the background faintly repeating:
"Bring tHe dope, bring tHe Hoes, bring tHe money bags in.."
I now feel like I gotta get some dope, Hoes, and money bags, for tHe rest of tHis album.
(ultimately decided not to)
DOPE INTRO.
https://i.redd.it/1lv03lb4xdmc1.gif
2. POP (FEAT. RICO NASTY)
A radio cHanging sound abruptly ends wHat felt like a nice ass sunny day-walk in tHe park type of sHit, and Q is all of a sudden pissed off dawg:
"oH, fuckface punk-rock bitcH!"
Now I've Heard tHis nigga Q mad before, but wHen you Hear tHat "UH", at tHe end of His sentences like tHis:
"I've been gettin' money back tHen, making plays, top ten, UH!" <- rigHt tHere
Just be ready to start sHadow boxing or some sHit.
@ 0:43-46: "💥💥💥💥💥💥💥", followed by one of tHe craziest drops and beat switcHes I've ever Heard IN MY FUCKING LIFE!!"
It was at tHis moment wHere I felt like I was morpHing into 'Quincy Kruger', in a "NigHtmare On Figg St. Part 2" (go listen to NigHtmare on Figg St. if you Haven't).
A few moments later we get Rico Nasty wHo goes absolutely Haywire on tHis sHit. Initially I wasn't really feeling Her on Here, but during my 2nd listen- yeaH, sHe fucking served dawg- super necessary.
STRAIGHT HEAT! IMA KRUMP IN THE HOOD TO THIS.
https://i.redd.it/rk36fnk2ydmc1.gif
3. THANK GOD 4 ME
AlrigHt so look.. I knew wHat tHis track was before it even started because, I know most of us seen Q debut tHis a few montHs ago at tHe Kal Banx & Friends Boiler Room, and immediately were begging for it's release, but yo.. FAM, FAMMMM!!!! DID ANYONE FEEL LIKE THEY WERE JUMPING AROUND BACK IN THAT MOMENT WITH Q AND HIS HOMIES, OR WAS THAT JUST ME?!
tHe way tHis starts off so peaceful witH tHose little flutes and sHit, I didn't know if Q cHanged tHe song or tHe name or wHat. And tHen @ 0:43, tHe Project Pat, "cHicken Head" starts ringing in tHe background- it eventually switcHes back to tHe peaceful sHit, and Q starts talking His sHit again:
"tHank God for me, all my bitcHes gon' lie for me.."
THE VIBES ARE IMMACULATE ON THIS ONE!
https://i.redd.it/osf8lymwydmc1.gif
4. BLUESLIDES
First and foremost, RIP Mac Miller 🕊️.
BotH Q, and Lauren Santi's vocals on tHis record are just Heaven sent man. It's crazy tHe range Q Has tHrougHout tHis album. One second I wanna mask up, next second I'm jumping around Hype af, but Here, on tHis one- I wanna put on my formal attire, and bust out a cigar witH some cHampagne.
Q doesn't take a second to talk tHat talk on tHis one eitHer, and one tHing about Q tHat we all know is, if He eatin, rest assure everyone around Him eatin' too! As well as making sure everyone around Him good mentally too.
"We split tHe profit witH tHe people, we be all lit. Top ten, not ten, bitcH, we all in.."
"Better climb out of tHat Hole before you fuck up your blessings. 'Fore you realize tHat it's over witH and start to get dеsperate."
JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR, THIS MAN IS 4/4. [and I wrote tHis witH tears in my eyes]
https://i.redd.it/sm98rpduzdmc1.gif
5. YEERN 101
First off, tHis beat reminds me of my 5 year old's Heartbeat after He eats cHocolate. THIS BEAT IS FUCKING ON ONE!
tHen Here comes Q to remind tHe world tHat He's not only a successful rapper, but tHe greatest golfer-fastest rising golfer-most successful golfer etc. of all-time:
"I've been livin' off golf from tHe last few deals. wHen tHe Nike cHeck came, man, I still got cHills, Hit a 2K lick, I ain't even go pro."
Also, tHis isn't tHe first time Hearing Q on a beat tHat feels so "out of control", it's almost become a trademark at tHis point plus witH tHat range I mentioned earlier- is anyone Honestly surprised? wHat is tHere tHat Q can't do?
DIVERSE Q, IS ALWAYS A GOOD TIME.
https://i.redd.it/38heq83s0emc1.gif
6. LOVE BIRDS (FEAT. DEVIN MALIK & LANCE SKiiiWALKER)
tHis record begins witH tHe "Can I Call You Rose?", sample by, tHee Sacred Souls, and Lance Skiiiwalker singing:
"GIRL I ACKNOWLEDGE THAAAAT, I MISTREATED YOU--" \BRMMM BRMMMM BRM BRMMMMMM\**
[someone sHould've warned me about tHe beat drop because Holy fuck, it felt like I was in an eartHquake, I was not ready..]
Yeah see, tHis nigga Q is on sometHing witH tHese switcH ups [in a good way]. I know it was mentioned that "Blue Lips" was to be interpreted as meaning: "SpeecHless, especially as tHe temporary result of sHock or some strong emotion”, and tHis production imo, is reflecting tHat to a tee (don't get excited if you're reading tHis Q, it ain't no golf tee nigga).
AnotHer tHing, I can never get enougH of rappers not taking tHeir rapping way too serious. tHis man barking on tHis track, ad-libs galore etc. tHis is wHat makes Q, unapologetically, Q!
"BiatcH, Suuu, RrrH" and tHe infamous, "Aw-aw-aw!" 😂😂😂
Never stop being you dawg, I love tHis sHit!
And sHout out botH Lance and Devin, tHey killed it!
"Life get Harder tHan my dick inside your bitcH" - Devin Malik
[tHanks for tHe ig caption fam lol].
THE BEAT SWITCHES, THE FLOWS *CHEF'S KISS*.
https://i.redd.it/n8arttss1emc1.gif
7. MOVIE (FEAT. AZ CHIKE)
"tHen today, I find out you fools are paying two-seventy for a blunt.."
I first Heard a snippet of tHis from tHe "Blue Lips" tracklist video tHat came out on Tuesday (2/27), but again- tHese fucking beat switcHes bruH.. So first and foremost, I ain't from LA, I'm not from Cali period lol, but wHen I Heard tHem mutHafucking locker slams!
I knew I was a Cali Crip..
Bro, tHe way tHat song began, and tHe way it just went completely left- again, left me stuck for a second. I could only picture OT Genesis crip walking in that one gas station, wHerever tHe fuck lol. And uHH.. WHy AZ Chike slide like tHat? Like dawg, wHen tHat beat dropped and He was like:
"YeaH, naH fam, you ain't folk, you ain't kin. You ain't tHe nigga I'ma look to to win.."
Mannnnnn, listen..
ANOTHER ABSOLUTE BANGER! SHOUT OUT LA!
https://i.redd.it/emcrm8bs2emc1.gif
8. COOTIES
AlrigHt so, rigHt before tHe album released last nigHt, I watcHed tHe official video for tHis, and Honestly- tHis one made me tHe most restless going into midnigHt. Q's flow is so broken Here, but not in a bad way by any means because it complements tHe tHeme so well- you could just feel tHis sense of like, yeaH I got all tHis sHit, life is good:
"Likе, I can't believe my Housе on the Hill, like, I can't believe tHat mountain is real, accountant is thrilled, tHe scars on tHe back of me Healed.."
But, also like.. I'm still Quincy from Compton:
"My House smell like ganja, fuck yo' kids, I'm dealin' witH problems.."
And as you get into tHe lyrics even deeper, Q never let's up:
"Mass sHootings, wHen will tHey stop it? Hmm. 'NotHer kid gone for unlimited profits, ratHer keep my kid Home, before you fuck up tHe process, I'd ratHer die and lose it all, before tHey don't get tHe knowledge, I'd ratHer die and lose it all, before I turn on my partners.."
Do I need to speak on tHe production of tHis one? Because..
THIS NIGGA IS 8/8, ARE YOU DUMB?
https://i.redd.it/46dwy7c33emc1.gif
9. OHIO (FEAT. FREDDIE GIBBS)
Okay, so first tHe fuck of all.. THis sHit immediately starts off feeling like the good days on "SnowFall FX", before Franklin became a crackHead- you know wHen tHe camera would just pan tHrough tHe neigHborHood witH tHe palm trees, and tHe kids running to tHe ice cream truck? YeaH, tHat sHit.
I love tHat Q takes His time getting in on tHis one:
"I'ma stack my O's like oHio, lookin' at your life, tHat's a long, "No" lookin' at my life, tHink He Pablo.."
Like dawg, His pace is just insane tHrougHout tHis album, He sees eye to eye witH every aspect of tHe production on Here.
tHen of course @ 1:18, sHit gets spooky [per usual].
HOL UP, IS THAT A $NOT SAMPLE!?!? 🔥🔥
YEAH, Q GOT IT.. INCOMING "NAIMA" - JOHN COLTRANE SAMPLE, WHAT THE FUCK?..
Now listen.. I'm not super familiar witH Freddie Gibbs, but I've Heard Him kill features before [Vultures as of recent], and tHis is notHing lesser, He tHrasHes tHis track, and absolutely loses it on Here witH His flow..
[as JoHn Coltrane sends us to Heaven witH His sax]:
"YeaH, turn me up tHen, bitcH, run it up tHen, bitcH Hella Hoes like Rick... James.."
OHIO IS ONE OF THEM ONES, NEED I SAY MORE?
https://i.redd.it/h00lsr3h4emc1.gif
10. FOUX (FEAT. AB-SOUL)
My introduction to Ab-Soul was actually my introduction to Kendrick, a song titled:
"For tHe Girlfriends" feat. Ab-Soul. How I discovered Q? Similar fasHion, anotHer Kendrick record titled:
"MicHael Jordan" feat. ScHoolboy Q.
[been tapped in w. TDE since 2010, it's been a minute lol]
In 2011, Q and Ab-Soul collaborated on a track called "Druggys Wit Hoes", whicH brings us to tHe title: "Foux" aka Four, or "Druggys Wit Hoes 4". Upon my first listen, no bullsHit, I Had trouble accepting tHat it's been as long as it Has, since tHe last installment in 2012.
But let's get rigHt into it..
We start off witH a sample from tHe Watts PropHets, titled, "Dem Niggxrs Ain't Playing":
"Look at tHem flames ligHtin' up the sky, ain't never seen fire sHootin' up so HigH.."
tHese "Druggys Wit Hoes" records always Have tHis cHaotic upbeat formula, so I went into tHis expecting any, and everytHing- and tHat's exactly wHat I got. Q and Soul took me back to 2011, witH tHis one. tHey understood tHe assignment, and brougHt tHe energy, cHaos, and unpredictability.
"Marijuana, Hydro, pussy Hoe, ass, titties."
If you know, you know..
THANKFUL FOR THIS RECORD. Q IS RUNNING RN!
https://i.redd.it/2987usx05emc1.gif
11. FIRST
We start off witH tHis sample tHat sounds straigHt outta tHe fucking Smurfs or some sHit:
"Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-naaaaa.."
At tHis point of tHe album, I know a switcH up is coming, and sure enougH @ 0:08:
"I was tHe first one fuckin' tHat bitcH I was tHe first one Hittin' tHat shit I was tHe first one lovin' tHat shit I'll fuck tHat sHit, I'll fuck tHat bitcH.."
tHen @ 0:14, we get tHis stoooooooopid drop.
Now I'm committed, my Head is boppin', I got tHe stank face on, and Q doesn't Hesitate Here. He instantly gives us tHat arrogant energy, witH tHem arrogant bars:
"Gold in my moutH and got gold on my wrist, Ho, you gon' sHine if I give you a kiss.."
"I don't Hang around witH tHem niggas, tHey suck, I ain't 'bout to argue witH you, baby, that's weak, you ain't been in love witH a nigga like me, real Loc nigga, I ain't never gon' bleed.."
tHen @ 1:37 everytHing calms down, and eventually switcHes up into tHis spooky R.L. Stine Goosebumps type beat. A lot of tHese songs feel like 2, sometimes 3, songs in one. I'm loving tHe diversity and range on tHis project.
WHAT KHALED SAY? OH YEAH, "ANOTHER ONE".
https://i.redd.it/x53005hx5emc1.gif
12. NUNU
I'm really feeling How Q starts some of tHese songs witH tHeir own little intro. We Had tHe: "na-na-na-na..", to begin tHe last song, and now we're starting witH: "la, la-la, la-la.."- it like, glides you into tHe vibe of tHe song before it gets going, and tHen He pulls tHe rug out from under you witH tHe beat switcHes.
At tHis point I'm just expecting a beat switcH to come out of nowHere, cause it is wayyy too cHill rigHt now.
Q raps:
"Dropped out of scHool, balled all year, keep sayin' sHit, I'm never gon' Hear.."
tHe production on tHis track is majestic as fuck. You get tHese random sparkling sounds on top of tHe drums- legit sounds like a magic wand from Cinderella in tHis bitcH lol. Also, I Hope I'm not being redundant by continuing to praise tHe production on tHis album, but- it is wHat it is. tHis entire album so far, is just sonically Heaven sent.
No beat switcHes Here, a pretty straigHtforward record, notHing super HigH nor low.
DREAMY JOINT RIGHT HERE, NOT BAD.
https://i.redd.it/lwkfsse57emc1.gif
13. BACK N LOVE (FEAT. DEVIN MALIK)
OKAY SO, RIGHT AWAY THIS BEAT IS FUCKING CRANKIN'!
\DUN-DUN-DUN-DUN-DUNNNNN-DUN\**
I don't remember Q screaming "SUUUUUUU" on any albums before Blue Lips [could be wrong], but I am fucking witH it! Reminds me of some Wu-Tang sHit.
"Back in love witH tHis sHit Back in love witH tHis sHit Back in love witH tHis sHit Back in love witH tHis sHit.."
Before I go on, I just want to add tHat I've Heard tHis track already from tHe video Q dropped during tHe rollout- but I've never Heard tHe Devin Malik feature. I'm not too familiar witH Devin but- did tHis nigga just drop a Triple H DX bar?:
"tHis a love triangle like wHere Bermuda is, on a mission, be tHe voice of twenty tHousand kids, D-Generation X, Triple H and sHit.." He valid in my book for tHat one alone lol.
Side note: I caugHt a portion of tHe Back on Figg "Blue Lips" listening party, and saw Devin speaking about How He tapped in witH Q. After Hearing His verse on Here, tHis relationsHip feels like it could end up being on some Kendrick x Keem sHit- wHere iron sHarpens iron, Q Has Devin under His wing, and it Helps botH of tHem on some veteran-rookie sHit.
@ 1:04 Devin's flow switcHes up and He raps:
"Money gotta make, bad bitcH, you know I gotta take off on a wraitH, I'll say, I was on tHе way, not tHe wraitH, okay, money on my mind, got my pockets in sHape, okay, I'm in sHape, money, we get paid I'm tHe big man, dog, get sHit stained.."
You can Hear Devin's flow and energy sHift towards a more aggressive, Q-like sound. Especially once He ends His verse and says:
"STAIIINNED!" - [Heavy Q influence; fucks wit it]
As far as Q is concerned on tHis track, I love grimey Q, and we get a lot of tHat energy Here from Him. wHen He released tHe video for tHis record, I was fired up wHen tHey sHowed tHe lil' Home video clips of Him as He rapped:
"Around nine, I was tryna have sex, tHirteen and I caugHt a new flex Ask wHy tHen you'll probably get blessed Yes, yes.."
tHis track got me so hype, wHen it dropped at tHe start of tHe rollout, and it did not disappoint.
NO DENYING THIS TRACK IS A BANGER!
https://i.redd.it/spdnf5be8emc1.gif
14. LOST TIMES (FEAT. JOZZY)
As mentioned in tHe last one, Here we go witH anotHer smootH transition-intro. tHis time it sounds like we're tuning in to a 70's sitcom, like "Good Times", or some "Sanford and Son" sHit.
AlrigHt listen..
WE GOT A FUCKING ALCHEMIST x SCHOOLBOY Q TRACK!!!
wHere do I even start? How do I even start witH tHis one..?
tHis song is sometHing serious! Q kills it, Jozzy kills it, tHere are literally no Holes in tHis song- it's quite literally perfect.
"I FEEL BLESSED, HAD THE BREAD STASH.." tHen @ 0:26 you just know it's Uncle Al all over tHis one, and tHe entire mood switcHes wHen Q starts speaking:
"You know me tHougH, alcoHol and God and all tHat sHit tHat comes involved witH it, takes time, man, you know wHat I mean. I got some screws loose in tHis tHing, you Heard wHat I mean. EverytHing takes its time, but it's gon' be- tHe one thougH, and tHat's just How it works."
tHe tone, tHe energy- everytHing is set off rip. We know wHy we're Here, we know wHy we came, alllaaaaaat!
"How you hate me witH a smile, my nigga? You foul, my nigga.."
Q is putting ink on paper Here, Heart on His sleeve- just pouring it all out, AND LET'S NOT FORGET JOZZY, WHO COMES ON HERE AND JUST SENDS US STRAIGHT TO THE MOON WITH HER VOCALS:
"I'ma put my fingers in tHe air for tHe lost times Twist one and I put it in tHe air for tHe lost times I'ma tHrow tHis money everywHere for tHe lost times I'ma get to bustin' in tHe air for tHe lost times." [suu, su, su, su.. \in tHe background*]*
I really love tHat "su", sHit dawg lol.
OH, YOU THOUGHT HE WAS DONE? NO.
Q gifts us witH a second verse, and tHis time tHe beat begins galloping [tHank you Uncle Al], tHere's no major switcHes, tHe beat just gets tHis Heartbeat to add to, wHat is already a masterpiece. Q's rapping is more sporadic now, it's got tHis personality to it- yes, His voice, and we're getting tHe "uH's", at tHe end of tHese lines now- IT'S GROOVY SEASON BITCH!
"Slid througH tHe many nigHts, uH Givin' you plenty life, uH DeatH and beauty all alike I tried so many times, like, How else I'ma climb tHe HeigHt? uH wHo knew I'd be dynamite, uH? You keepin' it sHade I'm tryna sHine all tHe ligHt, uH.."
ARGUABLY MY FAVORITE JOINT THUS FAR, MY GOD!
https://i.redd.it/ojpcjb74aemc1.gif
15. GERMANY 86'
[Here we go again witH tHe intro]
Once tHe sample cuts, you Hear tHis rauncHy cruncHy ass beat come in [I don't mean it in a bad way]. Feels like we're in anotHer era Here, tHe 80's or some sHit. Q gets rigHt to business rapping about His upbringing, and giving props to His motHer wHo he labels as His superHero:
"My mom stayed workin' late, sHe taugHt me How to be great, my superHero's a woman, you know sHe served for tHis country.."
Q tHen Hits us witH tHese random, "do-do-doooo's", lol idk wHy I took note of it but, I tHougHt it complimented tHe track in a funny but- necessary way.
But yeaH..
Q just pissed me off lol, because.. wHy are we getting one verse Here? tHat ain't rigHt dog, you ain't rigHt Q, and you know it!
[tHis felt more like an interlude, I respect it]
15 TRACKS IN, AND THE SCOREBOARD SAYS 15/15!
https://i.redd.it/ac39kt8oaemc1.gif
16. TIME KILLERS
THE PRODUCTION THE PRODUCTION THE PRODUCTION
No intro to tHis track, we get straigHt to business witH tHis groovy ass tune. AltHougH a lot of tHese songs Have big switcHes, some Have tHese subtle additions to tHem later on, tHat turn tHe lights on in tHe room [Hope tHat makes sense]. tHis is anotHer example of tHat- we go from a regular groove, to tHis scary/shaky, jungle/foresty groove real quick. Kind of reminded me of some Dark Twisted Fantasy, Kanye type of sHit.
Q raps:
"Wake up, I'm on tHe nigHt sHift, don't do me wrong Pull up, I need my sidekick, come get me on, on, on, turn me on.."
His flow is impeccable Here, matcHing witH tHe beat everywHere it goes- tHe beat goes left, Q is rigHt tHere wit it, sHarp rigHt- Q is rigHt tHere.
As tHis track went on, it felt like tHe deeper we walked down into tHe tunnel, and tHe longer tHe beat rode, Q got Hungrier:
"Grew up on Figueroa Street, I saw tHe blade Lil bo' scrawny nigga for sure was catcHing fades Raised by all women and still I never caved Took it tHree times, extended from greatness, I display Home of tHe brave, ran by tHe slaves Stole e'rybody name so wHite Jesus on tHe cHain.."
[anotHer common tHeme on tHis album I've come to realize is, wHen it's tHe first verse, Q usually takes it a lil easy- not meaning lazy or anytHing but, if you pay attention, come tHe second verse, we start getting more energy and aggression, background vocals etc. and tHe same goes for some of tHese beats- tHe longer tHe duration of a song, tHere's tHis sense of 'losing control' towards tHe end- it's so fucking dope]
From tHe voice distortion at certain points on Here, and tHe ecHoes, the background noises, the adlibs.. tHere's so mucH going on, but Q makes it fit perfectly. Doesn't feel crammed in, or unnecessary- it's just rigHt..
BLUE LIPS BLUE LIPS.. YOU'RE SOMETHING SPECIAL

VERDICT:
Five years..
The most frequently asked question has been:
"Was it worth the wait?"
Honestly.. Anytime ScHoolboy Q drops, it'll be worth the wait for me, good or bad. I was a junior in high school when I started following Q [14 years ago], and as Q has evolved, so have I- only difference being, I've been following him, and he doesn't know me lol. Basically what I'm trying to say is, it's been dope watching him evolve as an artist through these albums- from "Setbacks", back in 2011, to present day.
This "Blue Lips" release was personal, and I went into it a little skewed, as I \vroomed*, through his discography one more time before midnight. I was expecting more of a *"CrasH Talk", "Blank Face" sound/vibe, so when I clicked play for the first time, and "Funny Guy" loaded up- truth be told, I wasn't ready for what was to come.
I'll be straight forward, my first listen was a blur. I literally came out thinking:
"What the fuck did I just listen to?"
Not in the way you might be thinking either, it was more of a- "holy shit" moment, but In that moment I said to myself:
"Man.. I'm gonna fall in love after my second listen."
And sure enough, here we are.
When you get the chance, go on Apple Music, Spotify, Genius etc. and just look at how the body of these songs were constructed. Certain songs look like 2 or 3 in one- even by listening to them, you can both see and hear the effort that went into this album, and it follows Q's definition of "Blue Lips", to a tee [I touched on this in my review].
Q's definition:
“Speechless, especially as the temporary result of shock or some strong emotion.”
There are so many moments on here where Q's flow, word play, and the production, all gang up on you, leaving you both shocked, and speechless. I don't think there is a single bad record on this album.
But..
With all that being said, I wish a song or two would've been a little longer, and I wish each track transitioned into the next one. The more I listen, the more I fall in love, but if we had one complete transition from 1 to 18, oofff..
Word on the street is TDE died when Kendrick left, and I believe Q took that personally [insert MJ meme]. "Blue Lips" was everything I didn't expect, but everything I hoped for + more. The bar has been reset for 2024, and whoever said TDE was dead- they lied.
Thank you, ScHoolboy Q
"BLUE LIPS", FINAL RATING: 9/10

2024.02.13 04:22 jessisamess3005 Feeling estranged from my 13 yo son

Not exactly the right sub for this, but it appears that the coparenting sub did not approve this post.
I have 2 sons, 13 and 8. Divorced for 18 months. Rules from house to house vary a bit, mostly in their screen time and what they are allowed to watch. Primary example: my 13 year old son loves to watch YouTube videos of horror games, Rick and Morty, and Hazbin Hotel when he’s at his other parents house. He and I have been arguing lately. I’ll try to sum it up, because he’s apparently inherited his oration skills from his other parent (sound and fury signifying nothing): He feels as though his opinion doesn’t matter to me. Like I treat him as a son only, and that he wishes sometimes I would also treat him as a friend. He gives examples about things he does with his other parent (common interests like particular bands, video games, and raunchy adult cartoons). He says his other parent tells him things about his life, including his viewpoints on relationships. I cannot for the life of me justify allowing him to watch these shows. Which means, since I am not a gamer, we have very little common interests. I try to get him outside hiking, camping, biking, etc. or just sitting to watch a movie together, and he’s never interested. I also have trouble being okay with sharing adult viewpoints with him. Because… he’s a CHILD. My adult concerns right now revolve around the fact that his dad took 80k from our home equity during the divorce, how I’ve been trying to sell the house now for 6 months with no real nibbles, how I’m racking up CC debt just trying to keep up with our established pace of life. None of those seem appropriate to share with him. We had (tried to have) a heart to heart the other day, which I had to abruptly end because I was going to lose my shit. He said his dad shares with him his perspectives on love, life, relationships etc, and that he’s beginning to relate to his dad a lot more than me. I hastily told him that I would never expect the two of us to have the same perspectives, considering I have 25 years life experience on him. I want him to hav th space to determine his own views, and in his own time. I am happy they have this kind of relationship. Though I do feel sad being on the sidelines. But also…. One of the things he said is that his dad tells him one of the main reasons things didn’t work out with us is because I was a bad communicator. When in reality, it was because his dad had an affair. With a woman who then got divorced, they got married to each other, and then divorced in two months time. He keeps reiterating that he wants me to treat him like a friend. That he’s more mature than other 13 year olds. The kicker is, I’m a 7-12 grade teacher, so I have been exposed to plenty of other teenagers much more mature than he claims to be. I don’t want to ostracize him completely. Because he will 100% side with his dad and never listen to me again. This feels like a pivotal moment in our relationship. Like I’m either going to get him to understand where I’m at (emotionally, financially, etc), or I’m going to lose him entirely to his dad’s narrative. My son is in therapy, but I’m not sure it’s doing much good besides giving him a place to vent about junior high drama. (has its merits but still) How do I guide him when I’m the quiet, lead by example parent, when he clearly prefers his more fun, more relatable, immature dad?!

The Germany Princess lost her mind. This is what happens when the Western World gets into Europe!!!!!

The Royal Family ALLOWED This?!
The Royal Family ALLOWED This?!
In this video, we react to the German Princess, Xenia Florence Gabriela Sophie Iris, posing for a magazine. This created a lot of controversy and some disagree with her actions.
https://youtu.be/_7E1QhTApOQ?feature=shared

A glamorous German princess has become the first aristocrat to take off her clothes for Playboy in a risqué royal sit-down.
Xenia Florence Gabriela Sophie Iris, the Princess of Saxony, will appear topless in tomorrow's local edition of the lifestyle magazine in a move she hopes will show that 'every woman is beautiful the way she is'.
The 37-year-old, who claims a link to the 1,000-year-old House of Wettin, said she would be 'surprised' if her ancient noble family bought the magazine, but hopes 'they at least tolerate it'.
Xenia is sure, at least, that her great-great-grandfather, the last King of Saxony Friedrich August III, 'would have definitely approved' of her latest photoshoot, she told the magazine.

The Royal Family ALLOWED This?!

He 'was described to me as very humorous and loving,' she explained in her poolside chat.
The raunchy photoshoot is the latest in a string of unorthodox media appearances for the outspoken singer and columnist who has rattled her royal rivals in the past with her claim to fame.
But Xenia stands proud in a bold interview with the magazine, acknowledging she 'fights prejudice all day long' because of her title - but sees it ultimately as a 'blessing' to make the most of.
The photoshoot is not the first time the Princess Xenia has stirred controversy for her public exploits.
In 2011, the House of Wettin itself rejected her claim to the title after she announced her biography: Xenia: The Life of a Princess in the 21st Century.
'She is a nothing. She can't have a biography,' said the defunct dynasty's head, Maria Emanuel, Margrave of Meissen, adding that 'this thing is a dreadful faux pas, a misfortune for the 1,000-year-old House of Wettin'.
But Xenia is provably the great-great-granddaughter of the last King of Saxony, Friedrich August III - and has remained in headlines for her royal links.

The Royal Family ALLOWED This?!

Her mother, Iris of Saxony, is daughter of the House's Prince Timo (1923-1983).
Timo's father - Xenia's great-grandfather - was Prince Ernst Heinrich, husband to the Archduchess Luise of Austria, and son of Frederick August III, the last King of Saxony.
Frederick voluntarily abdicated in 1918 after Germany's defeat in World War I after just 14 years on the throne, famously judging: 'Oh, well, I suppose I'd better.'
Despite the criticism leveled against Xenia for her tentative connection to the crown, the princess has embraced her royal connection and made a name for herself on global shows.
In 2016 she appeared on an Israeli production that brought together celebrity lovers to share several weeks in an intimate space, surrounded by cameras while completing various tasks.
She soon moved on to appearances on dance shows and the German version of I'm a Celebrity! in 2021, most recently taking a role in the local soap B:REAL last year.
But fame has not always been easy for the princess, who says her title has got in the way of finding her Prince Charming.

The Royal Family ALLOWED This?!

In a 2010 interview with B.Z. she said: 'I've actually been single since I was born. After a short time, everyone turned out to be bad guys.'
The daughter of a farmer and a hairdresser said at the time she often found herself on the receiving end of intrusive questioning: 'Where is your crown, your castle, your dress...'
She 'just wants to be a normal girl' the outlet concluded.
The same year, Xenia broadened her search for love to England, where she appeared on BBC Three's Undercover Princess, hiding her celebrity status and living a more pedestrian life in a house share in Essex as 'Gaby from Germany'.

The Royal Family ALLOWED This?!

The quite brilliant concept left a group of foreign aristocrats to 'fend for themselves', taking 'ordinary jobs' in a hairdressing salon, a café and a cricket shop as the 'trawled the pubs, clubs and supermarkets of Essex for "the one"'.
Xenia, then 22, struggled to choose between suitors and returned to Germany without a new prince at the end of five hour-long episodes.
In her book, she wrote openly about how her father refused to acknowledge her as his daughter until he was presented with evidence.
Xenia also alleged that her father abused her as a child and forced her to pose for inappropriate photographs.
She wrote that her mother was convinced only after the police showed her evidence.

More than a decade ago, the cousin of Kate Middleton was also paid a six-figure sum to appear in Playboy Magazine in black lingerie.
Katrina Darling posed on the cover of the September 2012 issue, dubbed 'Britain's new burlesque queen'.
The provocative performer, who is originally from Sunderland, appears in an eight page spread in the magazine, including striking a sultry pose as she lies topless on a sheepskin rug.

2024.02.12 07:00 tharealbigjc22 EPs From History: Teri Shields

Why is Brooke Shields' mom an EP from history? Isn’t the entire point of a parent's job to keep their son or daughter from pedophiles? Well, Teri just basically threw every pedo a bone in 1975 by signing consent to a photographer named Garry Gross to photo a 10 year old Brooke posing nude for Sugar and Spice. The photos were done by Garry Gross whom has a very apropos name as he had to be a gross pervert for photoing a 10 year old Brooke nude. When Brooke was 16 and tried to get these photos out of circulation, she was fucked out of luck because her mom signed consent to the gross asshole who photoed her and technically that shit was legal. What made this shit even worse was when Richard Prince reproduced the original photos and called them Spiritual America after the famous photo of a workhorse's cock and balls by the same name. No wonder the shit was removed from the Tate Modern. I'd agree that that shit was a bit too fucking raunchy for an art exhibition

2024.01.20 23:22 MrsLadyZedd No Hard Feelings (2023)

2024-019 / MLZ MAP: 92.80 / Zedd MAP: 86.50 / Score Gap: 6.30
Wikipedia?wprov=sfti1) / IMDb / Original Trailer / New to Our Collection
Summary: On the brink of losing her home, Maddie finds an intriguing job listing: helicopter parents looking for someone to bring their introverted 19-year-old son out of his shell before college. She has one summer to make him a man or die trying.
Starring Jennifer Lawrence, Andrew Barth Feldman, Laura Benanti, Natalie Morales, and Matthew Broderick.
When’s the last time you saw a new raunchy sex comedy? This definitely fits the bill.
Maddie does not have her life together! She was given a house - paid off - by her Mother, and she’s about to lose it for taxes! She is a part-time bartender and Uber driver and when she loses her car to asset seizure, she continues to go deeper into a hole of debt and looming homelessness.
Percy doesn’t have his life together either, though he’s about to head off to Princeton, he is alone, with few real life interactions and only some online friends. His exceptionally overbearing parents hire Maddie to “date” Percy and bring him out of his shell.
Thus begins a tale of deception where everyone gets hurt and a Buick suffers a terrible fate.
As of late, both Zedd and I have been complaining about the lack of comedy films at our local cineplex. So when this one came around, he threw it in as a blind buy and we just hoped for the best. It did not disappoint.
Jennifer Lawrence is an awesome comedienne and more than held up her end of the deal. She was not afraid of doing the cringey n’er do well, surrounded by kids half her age while she tries to convince a 19-year old young man to sleep with her.
Zedd mentioned that, being our ages, it sure is interesting to see the Millennials really look like they’ve seen and gone through some shit! Watching the new Gen Z kids come up and into their own has been fun and refreshing. A little life experience brings out not only the differences, but the sameness, of all of us growing, changing, and just trying to survive. After all, no one gets out alive, right?
The generation gap here is really obvious and as an “old” lady, a bit painful to watch. I FELT how out of place she was with people Percy’s age.
For any of you new enough to this sub to point out that this is “child abuse” or “grooming”, first, STFU. Second, there is a 12-year difference between Jennifer Lawrence and Andrew Barth Feldman. But, the age difference between Matthew Broderick & Laura Benanti, playing Percy's parents, is a 17-year difference. There was also a 15-year age difference between the characters played by Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper in Silver Linings Playbook (2012), but no one had an issue with that.
This film handles the situation as it should be. It’s icky. It’s also pretty damn funny. Maddie is in a state of arrested development. Then again, so is Percy. In the end, their friendship and their deeper relationship (yes, it counts), helps each of them move forward and grow.
We’ll take it and movie on forward ourselves. It’s sure nice to see a fun and raunchy sex comedy every once in awhile.

2024.01.17 03:05 Obvious-Cod-6069 A Terrible Recap of The Single Life, Season 4 Episode 3

The Single Life, Season 4 Episode 3: Debbie Tells a Lie
Debbie's son, the cop, takes her grocery shopping. Since he is a cop, they go in a cop car and talk about the cop stuff he does at his cop job. She lied about her age to get a man to date her, so he offers her some cop pepper spray. Cop cop cop. Julian is a cop. Debbie has a hot mini golf date, so she dresses like a fancy space prostitute. Russ apparently goes monster mini golfing every week and is dumb enough to believe she is 57, but still feels too good for her by the end of the night.
Josh helped Natalie and her mother find a home, so mom wants to thank him by inviting his girlfriend's husband. Natalie and her mother have dinner with Josh, where he tries to charm mom into forgetting how badly he sucks. It fails miserably. She describes Natalie in ways that are so kind it even makes Natalie uncomfortable.
John waxes his face holes and poetic about his bachelor days. He is now ready for a relationship with a woman that he really likes, so his brother and sister in law do their best to make him feel like human garbage. John is now living with a different brother and not telling his girlfriend about what a lame ass he is. He says that he is ready to try to be a family man. I don't know, this is the least funny part. I kind of believe him.
Chantel and her friends think they are in a raunchy teen movie, and speak and dress accordingly. She is in love with a salad, so her whiny friends agree to cross a country to eat it. She rushes to get ready for a date while she is in a van. One of her friends is thrown in the trunk. Chantel ends up looking much worse than before.
Tim shows Luisa his adventurous side by taking her to play croquet. How is that not a joke? She flirts and he hates it, and for some reason they agree to date again.
John is too emotionally stunted to love. Chantel fondles a strange man's tattoo. Debbie makes her son want to pepper spray himself in the eyes. Jamal is just a little bitch baby.

2024.01.14 20:20 LifeLearner2024 Try not to over think movies

I have read a few posts about the series Meteor Garden, and they were interesting. In order to better understand MG, I also watched the previous Korean series, Boys Over Flowers. It’s good to gain a new perspective to do so. I didn’t really like the ending episode until I understood the old series. On the big concepts they are the same, so I don’t agree that the leading characters died. I think in order to save time explaining how they recovered from self starvation, the director simply jumped three months ahead. As for that surreal “wedding”, it was never a wedding at all. Remember, the girl was told she had missed the going away PARTY for the guy going over seas? Well, in my view, what she attended was a PARTY to celebrate her upcoming marriage. Only a bunch of kids would come up with such a strange turn of events such as that raunchy song “Run me like a river”. It was sort of like older women teasing a young bride before her wedding. The older sister even asks her if she understood what the song meant. There were no adults no a minister. There was no need for either since it was a party thrown by kids for kids to celebrate the wedding in their own way. The last thing I have read is that the tyrannical mother wouldn’t just walk away from her position as conglomerate head. In the old series, the mother is last seen feeding her newly awaken husband fruit while they watch the news on tv. So yes, I think she was dead tired of having the responsibility and was only too happy to go live her own life for a while. The fact that she slept for a week showed that being in that position had taken it’s toll on her both emotionally and physically. She had almost led to the death of her own son, and I think that realization horrified her.
I liked the Chinese remake much better than the old Korean series for several reasons. The main one was that all the guys in F4 had their own backstories. In the Korean version, there might have well only been two, maybe three in the group since they added very little to the movement of the story. I like how the F4 playboy was explained, and that he made peace with his old love, and decided to begin anew with his new girlfriend. The musician has more depth of character, and the one who liked older women but lost his love interest to another man whom the woman couldn’t forget was well thought out. In my opinion, all the characters in the Chinese version were more well rounded than the old version. The old series was ok and all, but I think due to the passage of time, the director had more ideas to better the series. However- that wedding party episode needed to be a bit clearer I thought. Or perhaps, it was written that way on purpose in order to spark discussion?
