lol the worst thing is now we can see celebrities in more intimate ways like social media and reality tv shows. You see them engaging in the stupidest beefs and posting the dumbest shyt or saying the craziest shyt (videos/reality tv). This might be part of the reason why so many ppl aint hot no more.

Back in the 90s and mid 2000s we had limited access to celebs so we didnt know they were so fukking annoying.

There you go.... I watched an interview with LL Cool J once and the dude interviewing him asked him how was he able to do so much stuff outside of rap and still be respected. LL told him that he was still making his moves on the low and he ain't bragging and wildin. He said that was the problem with rappers because they talk too damn much and people get tired of hearing that shyt.

LL never lied.

I never thought of it like this I just put actors/musicians in the same boat: entertainers and that's it. To me they're really one in the same.

They are essentially the same but in general actors are viewed differently. They're viewed higher. A lot of musicians transitioning to the acting field aren't really taken seriously, they have a lot to prove if they do. Actors/Athletes > musicians > runway models > trash > youtubers > ig/twitter famous

there's been dozens of instances where a celeb I liked went on a reality tv show and I saw how they were and I stopped liking them. Same with following some famous ppl on twitter and them tweeting shyt super ignorant. I used to love Waka Flocka until I saw his interview saying that trans ppl (particularly trans women) were demons. He made emphasis to talk about trans women. I stopped listening to his music. Then I kept seeing him on blogs in photos caught in bed with various groupies while with Tammy but claiming to be religous and I really was over him.

They get too comfortable and forget they have fan bases. Regardless how you feel, you saying some bigoted shyt will eliminate a portion of your supporters/fan base.

True.

Because at the end of the day, all of them are in the entertainment industry and get paid to perform and entertain us. Which is why I don't understand people who put any of them on a pedestal and obsess over them or act like any them are without flaws.

Yeah man I was talking to a guy a few weeks ago about this. He was telling me how he was in the restaurant with his boy back in the day and saw Gerald Levert but Gerald was with his woman or on a date and his boy wanted to get an autograph and he told him to chill on the groupie shyt. His boy still went over there asking for an autograph. I don't understand why people lose their minds over celebrities. People act like celebrities are the second coming of Christ for some reason and feel entitled to their time when they aren't entitled to shyt and then if said celeb don't feel like being bothered it's a problem FOH!

I don't follow none of these celebrities across social media. For what? Why? What do I have in common with someone that has more money me than me and who problems are much much different than mine on a daily basis? From what I've learned based on social media, a lot celebs are a$$holes.

Well in Waka Flocka's case, he's an idiot because you're fukking up money that could go in your pocket but you choose to say dumb shyt in a overly PC society. Don't get me wrong people entitled to their own opinion but I do believe in tolerance regardless of what your beliefs or religion (if any) might be. My mom used to tell me coming up that "everybody isn't going to like you." Now I totally understand it. Most celebrities don't give a fukk about their fans as long as the label head is still cutting that check for every album that's sold. That's why I don't take celebrities seriously.

I wouldn't even put social media fame on the list. The rest of it on point you got it.

Reposted this today, doing it again for the fukkery
Part 14: Byke like a dyke who left her skrap :banderas:/:scust:

#91. O Yuki Conjugate
Repping: UK
YA: 1982-Present
Genres: Ambient

How I ruined our first time (Very NSFW)​
Maybe it's my writer's block,
Maybe it's because I have nothing to lose,
Either way, i'm writing about this.



#92. Fonica
Repping: Japan
YA: 2002-Present
Genres: Glitch, lo-fi

By early-mid 12th grade, I was confident enough to talk to girls,
Thankfully all the guys in my friend circle were either socially awkward, too smart to worry about the fairer sex or gay.
Even better, all the girls in my friend circle were huge weebs,
Tariq Nasheed would be proud, you know what I did?
Have conversations with them
(Some of y'all might benefit from this advice :mjpls:)



#93. Serioznii
Repping: Siberia
YA: 2011-Present
Genres: Noise, Shoegaze

But I digress,
I caught the attention of this cute
Hispanic
chick named Natalia and we'd meet up at her house from time to time,
We only had Music Appreciation and very occasionally lunch together, so in hindsight we were just friends with (barely any) benefits,
Until the "incident" :merchant:



#94. 16-17
Repping: Switzerland
YA: 1994-2002
Genres: Jazz Punk

She'd always invite me to her house when her parents weren't home but all we'd do was make out and grope each other,
I was getting tired of this teenage stuff after three months and wanted to get to fourth base,
I made her sat on my lap and tried taking off her shirt (normally she did that)
She knew what was up and hit me with the :usure: face and told me, "Next week :troll:"



#95. Black Death
Repping: USA
YA: 1977-1984
Genres: 1st wave Heavy Metal

Next week, I was ready, and to a lesser extent, she was,
Went to her house straight after school and all,
Fast forward to the NSFW part...
She was on her back,
I tried getting a good rhythm but she kept squirming,
I stopped and asked her if she wanted me to stop,
She said no but wanted to change positions,
I pulled out and there was blood all over me,
:damn::damn::damn::damn::damn:
She must've been in shock too cos all she said was,
"I swear I'm not on period, sorry, sorry, sorry..."
I honestly didn't know what to say or do after cleaning myself up so I told her it was alright (it wasn't :francis:)
After she changed her sheets and washed up we just ate ramen and watched some Samurai Champloo before her parents came home,
We became "just friends" that day too.
We still talk on Facebook :yeshrug:

lol when Caitlyn Jenner was brought up, he could've just said "I dont wanna talk about that. Next!" But instead he went on a rant on how male to female transexuals are demons and then brought up religion. He could've avoided that entire thing. But he's still well liked from the cis hetero folks. Even when he's been caught up cheating on Tammy (Tammy & other cis straight folks) defend him and say he's biologically wired to cheat on Tammy because he's a straight man. :mjlol:
