Hip hop music, also called hip-hop[3][4] or rap music,[4][5][6] is a music genre developed in the United States by inner-city African Americans in the 1970s which consists of a stylized rhythmic music that commonly accompanies rapping, a rhythmic and rhyming speech that is chanted.[4] It developed as part of hip hop culture, a subculture defined by four key stylistic elements: MCing/rapping, DJing/scratching with turntables, break dancing, and graffiti writing.[7][8][9] Other elements include sampling beats or bass lines from records (or synthesized beats and sounds), and rhythmic beatboxing. While often used to refer solely to rapping, “hip hop” more properly denotes the practice of the entire subculture.[10][11] The term hip hop music is sometimes used synonymously with the term rap music,[4][12] though rapping is not a required component of hip hop music; the genre may also incorporate other elements of hip hop culture, including DJing, turntablism, scratching, beatboxing, and instrumental tracks.[13][14]

Netizens criticize Black Pink’s Jennie for her change in attitude and being ‘lazy’ on stage
Black Pink’s Jennie is under fire for her change in attitude while performing on stage.
According to netizens, Jennie has been very “lazy” and “careless” on stage during Black Pink’s performance lately. She supposedly lacks power and energy in the choreography and seems to be dozing off compared to her powerful stages in the past.
Netizens are criticizing the star for being arrogant, especially after her solo debut.
Comments stated,
“It might be understandable if it was during rehearsal but she’s so careless when fans are watching right in front of her. What is she thinking? Isn’t it normal for you to work harder if the fans are watching? She has changed.”“What’s wrong with her…”“She must think she’s all that because YG supports her so much but she’s not on that level yet.”“She must really think she’s the female version of GD but she still needs a lot of practice. Her live performance sucks.”“She thinks she’ll be fine even she doesn’t try hard…. Honey… that’s not how the world works.”“Is she already tired only after 2 years since debut..”What are your thoughts on the netizens criticizing Jennie’s “laziness”?
Seafood From Two Tapas Masters at Saint Julivert Fisherie A Harbor for Fish Lovers in Brooklyn 10 PhotosView Slide Show › Image
Alex Raij and Eder Montero met while working in the kitchen of a sprawling, impersonal, gloomy modern-Spanish restaurant that lasted about two years. They went on to get married and, as joint chefs and owners, opened a string of compact, intimate, slinky modern-Spanish restaurants that are still in business.
Their one misfire was a small, intimate non-Spanish coffee shop in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. After dusting themselves off, they replaced the cafe tables with taller and longer ones, traded the pastry cases for a bar, installed a stripe of backlighted glass blocks that cast a subaqueous glow on the room, and in September reopened as Saint Julivert Fisherie.
And what is a fisherie, you ask, having quickly consulted your French, Spanish and English dictionaries and found no such word? Saint Julivert is my first, but if it is anything to go by, then a fisherie is a seafood establishment that aspires to be more than a raw bar but does not want to be mistaken for a full-bore restaurant. Wines come mostly from coastal regions (and are organized by the nearest body of salt water). Small plates abound. And if you guessed that they are something like the tapas that Ms. Raij and Mr. Montero explore at El Quinto Pino, Txikito and La Vara, but without the running Spanish theme, you are not far off.

Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine facing 32 years in prison over racketeering and firearms charges
American rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine is facing a minimum of 32 years in prison over racketeering and firearms charges.
According to TMZ, the controversial rapper’s latest arrest relates to a five-year federal investigation.
Tekashi, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, is also facing charges including involvement in an armed robbery, drug dealing and conspiracy to commit murder.
The most serious charge involves him discharging a firearm while committing a crime – it carries a possible life sentence.
The rapper was arrested on Sunday night in New York. His ex-manager was also arrested.
He was later denied bail after a prosecutor told a court he was “quite violent”. He will remain in custody until his trial.
It comes after he narrowly avoided prison time in his child sex case.
He was ordered to complete 1,000 hours of community service and avoid any additional arrests.
The judge also said he must refrain from associating with any gang members and avoid all gang activity and also avoid posting or reposting online sexually explicit or violent images of women or children.
Last week, he shocked fans when he announced he had fired his entire team and cancelled his US tour just days before he was due to hit the road.
