The Year the Stars Crashed: Ray Garraty’s 2023 in Rap
Tumblr media
Peezy is writing the most disgusting rap in 2023
Let’s be honest: we can’t just have exciting years in music. The year people stepped on the Moon was more exciting than the one when they didn’t. We love to cheer when during a year we discover new talents, when we are buried under tons of great stuff which just keeps coming. But we shoegaze when our favorite musicians fall off. We tend to stay silent about it.
And in 2023 I mostly watched artists I admired go wrong. It was painful and embarrassing but also sobering. It is a price artists pay when they enter this game. They are creative and genius and entertaining until they are just not.
Mac J was hooked on the Auto-Tune, so his latest tapes were full of bad singing and not very good lines. EST Gee and Lil Yachty went even more mainstream which in political terms would mean far far right. The Alchemist did a lot of production for the artists that don’t deserve it. ShittyBoyz drifted aimlessly, and their best album this year is not even under their name (it’s Lando Bando’s Family Business). Cash Kidd is not so funny anymore (kid you not). BandGang Lonnie Bands got too caught up in his mind games.
Yet it is Peezy and Valee who had the most embarrassing fall in 2023. Which is hardly surprising for those who have followed them since day one. Valee now is a proper elevator music artist, filling his anemic songs with AI-generated lines. Peezy, top-5 worldwide just a few years ago,  is now writing the most disgusting rap music, and he even admitted that. Signs of rot were visible in both last year, so nothing really new is here.
I just kept trying to follow the ones I liked (mostly Michigan-based), and the one who grew up from a Rio Da Yung OG sidekick (and a blood brother) to a fully mature artist with his own unique style is Louie Ray. While Rio is still locked up, Louie Ray is keeping his torch. I enjoyed nothing more this year than his solo tapes, and his collabs with YN Jay. Let’s hope the next year will be better than this one.

Mike Pompeo: “Nós mentimos, enganamos e roubamos”
Uma das características inevitáveis dos psicopatas é que, em algum momento, eles revelam publicamente seus crimes. Em seu subconsciente, seus crimes estão fervendo e, de repente, eles vêm à tona. Ou a verdade se revela na exposição orgulhosa de seus feitos, como eles teriam escapado ilesos de seus crimes, ou se trataria de um lapso freudiano.
Isso pode ser constatado em meu artigo de 2010, quando reportei uma fala do primeiro-ministro britânico David Cameron, diante de soldados no Afeganistão: “No 11/9, quando as torres gêmeas foram explodidas…”. Ele revelou sem querer que não foi um desabamento por causa do fogo, mas sim uma explosão planejada.
Hoje eu apresento o exemplo de mais uma soberba, como a verdade veio à tona.
O atual ministro do exterior norte-americano, Mike Pompeo, antes de ter sido nomeado por Trump para este cargo, tinha sido chefe da CIA e admitiu em público que o serviço secreto norte-americano forma seus agentes para “mentir, enganar e roubar”.
“Eu fui diretor da CIA, nós mentimos, enganamos e roubamos, nós tínhamos cursos completos para essa formação. Lembra a glória do experimento norte-americano”, disse Pompeo recentemente no College Station, Texas.
Pior que sua admissão de como a CIA atua, onde ainda Pompeo esqueceu de mencionar outro método comum de trabalho da CIA, “nós assassinamos”, foram as risadas e os aplausos que Pompeo recebeu do público.
“Risadas e aplausos” dos néscios nada são diferentes daquilo que podemos presenciar hoje tanto dos seguidores fanáticos de Bolsonaro, assim como dos crentes petistas: tornou-se o norte atual aquele entusiasmo desprovido de qualquer reflexão crítica sobre o que foi afirmado.
Mas os norte-americanos sempre foram um bando abjeto de bárbaros. Começou com o genocídio contra as diversas tribos e índios nativos, pois quem foi mesmo que imigrou inicialmente da Europa para a América do Norte? A escória!
Pompeo confirmou como ministro do exterior, que toda a política externa norte-americana se traduz há mais de 300 anos apenas em mentiras, enganações e roubo. Sob Trump, tal modus operandi tornou-se ainda mais evidente.
Notem os anúncios de Trump sobre acordos internacionais, como o Acordo nuclear com o Irã, o tratado INF (Tratado de Forças Nucleares de Alcance Intermediário) com a Rússia e a atual rescisão do Tratado ATT (Tratado de Comércio de Armas Convencionais) em relação a países em guerra.
Trump se comporta como um gangster, ou como o malvado Darth Vader que disse “Eu modifico o acordo. Ore, e eu não mudo mais nada”, porque Lando reclamou sobre a quebra do acordo.
youtube
O ex-deputado norte-americano e candidato à presidência dos EUA, Ron Paul, disse a esse respeito:
“Isso me diz que algo está muito errado. Sobre as eleições de 2016, as pessoas já estavam decepcionadas com a CIA e com o Departamento de Justiça.”
Ele acrescentou, que “o mais surpreendente é que ele se vangloria disso, ele acha que é uma grande piada.”
youtube
O que isso nos diz sobre a moral do chefe da política externa norte-americana e sobre o próprio Trump, para quem ele responde? Eles não têm consciência, eles não têm honra e não mantêm sua palavra ou de seus antecessores.
Um mandato após outro, criminosos inescrupulosos ocupam a Casa Branca, e eles nos levarão a uma guerra mundial!
Um caminho para isso é a declaração de guerra dos EUA contra o Irã. A marionete sionista, Mike Pompeo, ameaçou agora qualquer país que ouse a comprar óleo do Irã a partir de 1º de maio. Cortar toda renda do Irã proveniente do petróleo é uma declaração de guerra!
Também contra a China!!!
Essa arrogância, ilegalidade, ignorância, infantilismo geopolítico e geoeconômico que estão embutidos nesta decisão de política externa, é a presunção que Washington pode decidir quem é o fornecedor de energia para a emergente superpotência China.
A lista de países ocidentais que seriam atingidos por essa “proibição”: Índia, Japão, Coréia do Sul, Taiwan, Turquia, Itália e Grécia. Eles se abastecem principalmente de petróleo iraniano.
Se o Irã continuar a ser encurralado, então Teerã – como anunciado – fechará o Estreito de Ormuz e 40% do petróleo mundial não passará mais por lá. O que isso significará para a economia mundial, cada um pode imaginar.
O preço do petróleo pode subir para 500 dólares/barril ou até 1000. Gasolina e Diesel se tornarão tão escassos e impagáveis, que todo comércio mundial entrará em colapso.
Uma guerra contra o Irã só atende aos interesses dos criminosos de guerra de Israel, que uma vez mais conduzem e incitam os EUA para sua próxima guerra no Oriente Médio.
Todas as guerras dos EUA contra o Iraque, Líbia, Síria e Iêmen, foram ou são executadas por ordem dos sionistas, que controlam completamente Washington. Trump faz tudo o que Netanjahu lhe ordena.
O que fazem os europeus? Eles se abraçam, cedem e fazem o jogo. Como se a Rússia apenas fosse observar. Se meter com potências atômicas como Rússia e China é a mais pura loucura!!!
Contemos com uma operação de falsa-bandeira no Golfo pérsico, os americanos vão fabricar uma desculpa para atacar o Irã, pois como Pompeo admitiu, eles mentem, enganam e roubam!
—————-
O General Wesley Clark contou em uma palestra, o que ele teria ouvido após o 11/9 no Pentágono. Os EUA irão atacar SETE países no Oriente Médio, começando com o Iraque, então Síria, Líbano, Líbia, Somália, Sudão e Irã. Todos esses países foram presenteados com guerra desde o 11/9, MENOS o Irã, o que está prestes a acontecer!
youtube
Clark disse ao final que a política externa norte-americana foi solapada por um “putsch”. Os norte-americanos devem se perguntar, “por que eles estão nessa região? Qual é nosso objetivo, qual é nosso motivo? Por que estamos lá? Por que morrem americanos nessa região?”
O que ele não diz com clareza é: o Putsch foi realizado pelo “Lobby de Israel” e pelos defensores do “primeiro Israel”, pelos NEOCONS, que desde os anos 1990 dominam a política do Oriente Médio, indiferente de qual presidente ocupe a Casa Branca. O detalhe é que Trump se deixou rodear por essas pessoas e para ele Israel vem em primeiro lugar. Todas as guerras nesta região são feitas para proveito de Israel!
Alles Schall und Rauch, 28/04/2019.

Lando Bando Talks About Creating The HipHop Lab, Dex Osama and Signing Rocky Badd
What started as only as only a vision in the mind of  a high schooler is now a big shot today in the city of Detroit. 
If you’ve heard of The HipHop Lab then you heard of Lando. Lando, a 23-year-old cinematographer, host, producer and entrepreneur created his famous YouTube Channel back when he was 18-years-old in 2015.
Most people can agree that you either hit or miss in the entertainment industry, however Lando knew he was gonna be very successful because entertainment was something that he loved. 
 “My parents didn’t think a YouTube channel was going to make money and wanted me to get a real job,” says Lando. 
At the time of the creation of his show, Lando had a entry level job at 7 Eleven. He later decided to quit his job to dedicate all his time to his channel and building a brand. 
 “I told my parents that The HipHop Lab was going to make thousands... they didn’t believe me,” says Lando. “Now I’m actually making those thousands and they see it.” 
Lando’s channel had its breakthrough after he interviewed Detroit rapper and one of Meek Mills newly signed artist, Dex Osama. A while after the interview hit the internet, the rapper was fatally shot and killed. His death brought a lot of attention to Lando’s interview and channel. On The HipHop Lab, the rapper talked to him about seeing his death in the near future. See full interview below.
“That interview was bitter sweet ‘cause it was an important interview for me, but it was his death...it was crazy that he predicted his own death, it was a wow factor...”
Fast forward today, Lando’s channels has over 92 thousand subscribers and over 43 million views.  He’s accumulated a wide audience that’s still growing from the west and mid-west coast.  He’s even interviewed celebrities like Deb and Waka Flocka from LHH, Tee Grizzly and more. He even films music videos for artist and collaborated on albums with them.
“It really just took a lot of consistency to gain the audience I have,” says Lando.  “As far as making music videos and making albums, it was always something I wanted to do, so when I was able to do it I couldn’t wait!”
Now, adding onto his brand, Lando is also managing artists. His first signed artist is Detroit raptress, Rocky Badd. 
 “I knew Rocky since 2015 and seen were I could improve the business side of things so it made sense to sign her.”
He decided to sign Rocky this past October and since then her career has also skyrocketed with the help of The HipHop Lab.  
“Since working with Rocky her numbers have increased across all streaming platforms,” says Lando.
Today Rocky stands on a platform for 217K followers on Instagram and has had some dope projects released, including “The Real B,” and “Badd Publicity.” 
 “I definitely want to pick up more artist, but I don’t wanna bite off more than I can chew at the moment,” says Lando in hopes to one day expand his business.
It’s obvious that his success did not happen over night. So in regards to those who want to take the same path in the entertainment industry, I ask Ed Lando to offer up some advice on how to do it. 
 “The advice I wanna give is don’t settle and get comfortable,” he says. “It’s hard to manage everything and still have a successful personal life it literally all flows down to the process of elimination.”
To sum it all up, you have to keep workin hard, make goals and challenge yourself to make into this industry. Along with being in this business, you have to make sacrifices. And once you start doing all those things you can, too, one day be successful.

Dust Volume 9, Number 11, Part 1
Tumblr media
Niecey Blues
Where did the year go?  Seems like only a week or two ago, we were scraping together a list of albums we had somehow missed out on in 2022.  Now we’re about to do it again, I suppose, and the number of misses seems to grow larger every year.  Still, we’re still shoveling away at what 2023 has brought so far—nouveau shoegaze and Vangelis synths, Michigan rap and free-improvised vibraphone.  Check out this month’s Dust, the next to last for 2023, for music you might have overlooked.  Contributors include Jennifer Kelly, Bryon Hayes, Ian Mathers, Bill Meyer, Andrew Forell, Ray Garraty, Justin Cober-Lake, Alex Johnson, Jim Marks, Christian Carey, Patrick Masterson and Tim Clarke. 
Like last month, we'll be doing this in two parts, here's the second one.
Bedroom Eyes — Turned Away (Ala Carte)
Bedroom Eyes, from Boston, balance the churn and drift of shoegaze. This fourth LP (the last was in 2019) floats cool, slow-moving melodies over rackety barrages of feedbacked guitars and drums. Whether cuts like “Around” are still or in furious motion is an open question. It depends on where you focus. The title track manifests itself out of the slow buzz of feedback, bits of singing, guitar and percussion taking form out of a vibrating soup. It sounds, to me, like Simply Saucer or maybe the Telescopes, submerged by fuzz, suggested rather than stated. “Brood” runs harder, the guitar notes bending with volume like MBV’s did, but the singing remains untouched and serene. If it’s calm on the surface, that’s because Bedroom Eyes is paddling furiously underneath.
Jennifer Kelly
Cherry Cheeks — CCLPII (Total Punk)
Cherry Cheeks, from Portland, Oregon, crank a wired, anxiety-ridden garage punk, the short, sharp shock of guitar stabs running through nattering bass lines and the tremulous whinge of keyboard sounds. This second LP captures their rattled energy with more force and clarity than the debut. You can hear the negative space between bursts of aggression. And yet, the sound is much the same, an aura of dread punched up until it seems to dance. “Switch” is maybe the best cut here. It cuts and jabs in antic motion, organ dopplering off from a sing-along chorus. “Explode” is nearly as pop-slanted, hopping up and down on speed, but catchy. Cuts like “Data” and “Ad Shark” make fewer concessions to anthemic-ness, but prickle and clamor with antsy sarcasm. The future is bleak, but maybe kind of fun?
Jennifer Kelly
Buck Curran — The Long Distance (Obsolete Recordings)
Buck Curran is so interconnected with the guitar, it’s easy to forget that he plays other instruments. The Long Distance shows off his skill as a synthesist. Sweeping, Vangelis-like melodies are the focus of these poignant hymns, which rest upon a foundation of sizzling analog modulation. Emotions run deep on these recordings. Leveraging reminiscence as his muse, Curran called to mind familial and foundational memories, channeling them into these moving passages. Particularly effective is “Morning Song with Lucia,” on which he adds a lovely guitar melody inspired by his daughter. The pieces are relatively short, but Curran beefs up the length of the album by offering alternate versions of some tracks. Each take offers a unique emotional angle, and the subtleties evoke an echo-like effect. The Long Distance is a surprisingly pleasant shift in oeuvre from this talented instrumentalist.  
Bryon Hayes
Great Lake Swimmers — Uncertain Country (Pheromone Recordings)
youtube
It is a very white Canadian thing to wonder whether our regional equivalent of Americana should be called Canadiana or just folk (or maybe folk rock? indie folk?). Regardless of our typical dithering over local identity, Tony Dekker’s Great Lake Swimmers have been a mainstay and exemplar of the form for 20 years now. They’d be forgiven for resting on their laurels (or around here… pinecones?) but the restless, quietly gorgeous Uncertain Country doesn’t take anything for granted. Whether adding choral vocals on the graceful “Moonlight, Stay Above” or whipping up a surprisingly dense churn on the title track, the band’s eighth album is a showcase of what they do well. The effect is perhaps most powerful on songs like “Riverine” and “Swimming Like Flying” that feel equally at home in the concert hall or sung en masse around a campfire.
Ian Mathers
The Invisible Hands—The Big Minute (Abduction)
The Big Minute, the third official release by the Invisible Hands, comes a full eight years after its predecessor. Yeah, that is one big minute. Blame it on COVID, a revolving drummer’s chair, and the fact that Alan Bishop, the one American in this Cairo-based band, has a lot of other irons in the fire. The LP’s crisp, slightly trippy sound, and wide-open but particular repertoire establishes the Invisible Hands as the biggest fish in a very small pond; can you name any other Egyptian psychedelic garage bands from with a thing for 50-year-old soundtracks? I thought not. While Bishop’s aesthetic clearly points the way, this is a band. For every one of his signature moves, there’s also a moment when it’s Cherif El Masri’s encyclopedic guitar licks, Ayawasqa’s scrappy Arabic singing, and Adham Zidan’s arrangements and production that sells the song. If you have read this far, yeah, you should give it a minute. 
Bill Meyer
The Inward Circles — Before We Lie Down in Darkness (Corbel Stone Press)
Scottish composer Richard Skelton’s previous work as The Inward Circles involves subjecting clean recordings of strings to all nature of electronic and physical destruction to portray decay and environmental collapse. On his first album in six years, Skelton manipulates a six-second fragment of Baroque recorder music taken from the run-out groove of a battered 50-year-old vinyl recording. From this already degraded source he builds haunted soundscapes that to tap into something primordial and timeless. To call them drones does a disservice to the depth of nuance and detail in Skelton’s music. He captures something elemental within layers of sound built like geological strata trapping a record of growth and death, of destruction and recovery. Before We Lie Down in Darkness is a powerfully evocative elegy to the earth and warning to its inhabitants.
Andrew Forell
Lando Bando — Family Business (The Hip Hop Lab Records)
youtube
The Hip Hop Lab’s CEO Lando Bando brought together Michigan rappers close to his studio for this tape. Family Business showcases the state of things in Michigan. That state is not great, by the way, but it’s not bad either. Quite a lot of clumsy rapping on here, and a few cuts should have been left out. Still, it shows that all three ShittyBoyz members are in excellent shape, and Lando deserves our highest appreciation for scoring not one but two Rio da Yung Og’s verses. The highlight here is “Dirty Pop,” an unexpected collaboration between Rio and StanWill on a Danny G beat.
Ray Garraty
Lau Nau – Aphrilis (Beacon Sound/Fonal)
Finnish composer Lau Nau (also known as Laura Naukkarinen) tends to make slow-moving music, but, this year at least, she makes it fast. Aphrilis marks her second release of the year, following spring's 5 x 4. She spent years developing that release, focusing on equipment (Buchla 200 modular synthesizer) and time-signature (5/4). With Aphrilis, she returns to a meditation on time and place (something her past field recordings have captured so well) through mostly acoustic instrumentation. The album opens with “April,” as both instruments and vocals suggest the opportunities of that month's bright beginnings. The mood continues into “Kielet on viritetty tuuleen,” with Hermanni Yli-Tepsa's violin providing the linear guide through the accessible yet intricate composition. The album builds off these initial expressions, settling into a sense of home that remains expansive, the unusual instrumentation — including celesta and jouhikko among other unnamed “various instruments” — maintaining a very specific sound. Múm's Samuli Kosminen produces, and the fit makes sense even as Lau Nau captures a melodic ambience in a specific setting, adding flow while mixing synthetic and acoustic sounds. The album closes with “Seitsemäs taivas,” which might mean “seventh heaven” but sounds more like the start of autumn, tracing an emotional arc throughout Aphrilis. The belief in hope lingers, the brightness reshaped into an iterative composition that finally yields to something colder but never foreboding.
Justin Cober-Lake
MJ Lenderman — And the Wind (Live and Loose!) (Anti- )
Not exactly starched and buttoned-up to begin with, Jake “MJ” Lenderman and Co. come out even more ragged and rangy on the new live album And The Wind (Live and Loose!). The 15 tracks, recorded at gigs in Chicago and Los Angeles, are drawn almost exclusively from last year’s Boat Songs and 2021’s Ghost of Your Guitar Solo, and aren’t so much reimagined in front of their audiences as revved up and deepened. A few telling moments: Lenderman’s voice finds a lower pit of wistfulness in the sighing line “I know why we get so fucked up/I do” from “TLC Cagematch”; “Knockin” – in its third recorded iteration – gets an extra few roaring seconds and snarling decibels added to its big, heart-on-sleeve conclusion; the heavy drum fills and pugilistic blasts of guitar that end “SUV” veer closer to chaos. The band’s showcase, though, comes near the end on an extended jam of “You Are Every Girl To Me,” where the players, led by the points of light spinning off of Xandy Chelmis’ pedal steel and shredding lead guitarist Jon Samuels, rip out any remaining seams before easing back down for Lenderman to make introductions. And if you haven’t met them yet, And The Wind is a good place to start.

Mac J – I  Shoulda Been Dropped This (TrueStoryEnt)
youtube
Mac J’s been lazy lately. His recent tapes sound as if he’s only put one third of his talent in his music. I  Shoulda Been Dropped This, sadly, is no exception. He’s desperately trying to make his sound more mainstream and less street. Instead of crazy punchlines, witticisms and gritty reality, we get banalities and half-assed street ballads with Mac J on Auto-Tune almost on every song. It’s a wonder how “Engine Ina Trunk,” his track with another California resident Philthy Rich, even made it to this tape. It’s the old good rapping-his-ass-off Mac J, hungry for rhymes and punching you in the guts with every line. Except for this song, he shouldn’t been dropped this.

Previsões e torcidas para Star Wars: Episódio IX
Os Últimos Jedi chegou com a missão de levar a saga para novos caminhos e servir como outra ponte entre os personagens apresentados por J.J.Abrams em O Despertar da Força (agora com algumas adições de Rian Johnson) e os heróis da obra clássica criada por George Lucas. O resultado cheio de decisões inesperadas e quebrando muitas as expectativas alimentadas pelos fãs entre o Episódio VII e o VIII, acabou gerando acalorados debates entre os que gostaram das respostas divergentes das previstas e os que saíram insatisfeitos com a direção e a “repentina” mudança de rumos depois do anterior ter sido acusado de “copiar” as aventuras originais. Independente das reações apaixonadas de ódio ou apoio, é inegável que The Last Jedi toca em uma série de temas e por ângulos polêmicos que provavelmente terão repercussões por toda a franquia e especialmente no capitulo final dessa etapa que voltará a ter J.J. no volante enquanto Rian parte para desenvolver uma trilogia paralela e expandir ainda mais o universo de Star Wars.
Tumblr media
Nesse campo fértil de argumentos pró e contra, obviamente, já nascem as primeiras especulações de como será o Episódio IX, que herdará uma galáxia distante e tumultuada (dentro e fora das telas) e cheia de exceções a fórmula consagrada.  Mesmo que parte da proposta tenha sido (para o bem e para o mal) desconstruir as teorias dos fãs, também culpados por alimentar seu próprio cânone pessoal e se prender a eles de tal forma que quando tais desejos não são atendidos a resposta pode ser imediatamente negativa, fica difícil não ceder as tentações do Lado Negro e tentar avinhar outra vez como será a história aqui pra frente e o que gostaríamos de ver em seu fechamento. Alerta de Spoilers, não prossiga se não tiver visto a fita, não evitaremos as revelações!
Tumblr media
Luke Skywalker encontrou seu próprio fim em Os Últimos Jedi, em um sacrifício que amplia nosso conhecimento sobre o campo de energia vivo que mantém todos os seres e lugares conectados e permitiu ao mestre Jedi se despedir com uma última lição enquanto aprendia, ele mesmo, uma das mais importantes já professoradas pelo Mestre Yoda: é necessário crescermos com os nossos erros. A considerar pela participação do diminuto e poderoso alienígena verde de orelhas pontiagudas, os fantasmas da Força são capazes de muito mais do que pensávamos e Skywalker deve se juntar a eles após seu pacífico desaparecimento diante do sol duplo de Ahch-to e o recado de que permanecerá por ai para desafiar Kylo Ren e aconselhar seus aliados. Principalmente se consideramos que a morte de Carrie Fisher modificou os planos iniciais para a Princesa Leia no enredo, que pode assim sair totalmente de cena e abrir espaço para uma participação ainda considerável de Mark Hamill no Episódio IX. Rey certamente se beneficiaria com a presença dele para aprofundar seu treinamento e quem sabe, começar a formar novos Padawans, independente de como a Ordem será reconstruída por ela, muito do passado precisa ser deixado realmente pra trás enquanto o essencial fica preservado para as futuras gerações, como demonstrado pelo exemplo de desapego da árvore do primeiro templo queimando, mas com os livros sagrados dos Jedi de outrora a salvos e roubados e escondidos na Millenium Falcon. 
Tumblr media
A jovem geração de usuários da Força, inclusive, continua despertando espalhados pela galáxia e começando a ser influenciados pelos atos altruístas da Resistência contra a terrível e egocêntrica Primeira Ordem, fora as lendas do mítico Skywalker enfrentando um exército inteiro, sozinho! Kylo também não deve estar sozinho em sua luta contra o lado Luminoso, seus Cavaleiros de Ren podem retornar para fazer o contrapeso e equilibrar os pesos depois que Snoke foi morto escondido pelo próprio discípulo, sedento pelo poder absoluto. Algo, que, claro, deixa o General Hux desconfiado e sinalizando um racha dentro da própria organização, já que desde suas introduções no filme de 2015, ambos já batem a cabeça e expressam sua bronca pessoal um do outro. J.J. já comentou que o longa-metragem fechará e unirá as três trilogias até agora e o eterno embate entre o Bem e o Mal sempre foi a peça fundamental que liga cada um desses contos em separado, com uma batalha campal de sabres ao estilo Old Republic (com seus batalhões de Sith vs Jedi) não sendo nenhum absurdo para o clímax do ainda não nomeado 11º guerra nas estrelas. Tanto quanto um sabre duplo pra moça de Jaaku (Daisy Ridler), que segue habilidosa c/ o bastão.
Tumblr media
Poe, por sua vez, deve assumir realmente o comando do bando de “rebeldes” sem altas taxas de midichlorians, já que o arco do personagem foi justamente aprender com os equívocos e se tornar o líder que poderia e precisa ser para ajudar a reacender a esperança de vencer a tirania no lugar da cansada General Organa. Porém, como em todo conflito perdas são esperadas, ele, que deveria ter morrido no primeiro tratamento de The Force Awakens, poderia se sacrificar de uma forma não muito diferente da Vice Almirante Holdo antagonizada por ele para dar o impacto emocional preciso para se despedir do novo time de heróis introduzido pela Lucasfilm depois que a Disney comprou a companhia e prosseguiu com a ideia de por um Star Wars por ano nos cinemas. Nesse sentido, porém, é Finn o candidato ideal para dar a vida em defesa das coisas que ama (como Rose colocou), sua figura é querida e tem relações com todos os outros principais, portanto, sua partida seria sentida pelo público e por cada um dos seus companheiros de tela, encerrando seu ciclo deixando pra trás um mundo onde as crianças não sejam mais retiradas violentamente de seus lares pra serem escravizadas ou virarem doutrinados “peões” Stormtroopers. 
Tumblr media
Contra ele, quem sabe, uma “ressuscitada” Phasma, que poderia, então, servir de piada recorrente de “cair” em cada empreitada. Mais um que poderia novamente cruzar sua jornada é D.J., interpretado por Benicio del Toro, um lembrete de que nem todos são capazes de tomar partido e que há muitos campos cinzentos entre o 8 e o 80 dos polos opostos. Não muito distante do papel inicial de Lando Calrissian no Episódio V, que mudou de ideia com o impacto de um mais consciente Han Solo, que deixou a vida de contrabandista para ajudar a boa causa de trazer a paz para o universo. Quem sabe, John Boyega não possa usar seu personagem para realizar o mesmo. Ou servir de deixa perfeita para que Lando, que esteve recentemente no desenho Rebels, retorne a trama e assuma um comando que poderia ter sido de seu comparsa, Han Solo. Solo que deve seguir impactando a mente conflituosa de Ben, talvez, mais bagunçada com a perda da mãe, que ele se recusou a eliminar, trazendo uma dor extra ao neto de Darth Vader, o Lord Negro que conseguiu se converter apesar das coisas terríveis que cometeu. Um fantasma de Luke ou mesmo de Anakin poderia atormentá-lo também, caso não fique claro que o “last” dos Skywalkers é mesmo irrecuperável.  Aqui, cabe um chute bem grande, se o mestre dos Cavaleiros de Ren seguir preso ao Dark Side, é possível que o sobrenome mais importante da saga ganhe outra representante: Rey, não como filha de Luke ou do casal Han e Leia (como vários conspiravam), mas como adotiva, vide o fato de ter sido abandonada tão pequena pelos pais (provavelmente, dois “ninguém” como confessado por ela a Kylo), trauma que pode ser compensada pela família que a vida lhe presenteou como recompensa. Uma possibilidade extra é um romance entre os dois conectados protagonistas e a geração de um filho-filha que herde o legado no “Episódio X” e além.
Tumblr media
Sim, a série seguirá por muitos anos e em diversos exemplares, com Han Solo já programado para 2018 e dando sequência aos filmes derivados após o sucesso de Rogue One (devendo englobar igualmente a trilogia separada de Rian e as aventuras de Obi-Wan centrados no período em que o ermitão viveu secretamente em Tatooine e com Ewan McGregor de volta ao papel). Não sendo nenhum absurdo, portanto, que cameos e citações advindas deles possam fazer parte do roteiro nesse “capítulo final”. Juntando tudo ainda mais. Certamente, em meio a tantas dúvidas, parece haver poucas de que assim como seus antecessores, o “nono” dividirá o fandom de alguma forma e descontentará muita gente desgostosa com os rumos dados a space ópera, já que toda decisão envolve perdas e ganhos e não dá para agradar Gregos e Troianos. Entre os que quererem A e os que querem B, quaisquer das opções adotadas por Abrams & Cia. terão efeitos frustrantes nos que não aceitarem totalmente como as questões levantadas por eles serão resolvias ou endereçadas. Justiça seja feita, não dá pra criticar tanto a fanfic alheia, nem mesmo a oficial feita c/ orçamento generoso e corajoso apoio de levá-la a cabo num dos maiores estúdios de cinema da atualidade!!!

***Best of the 1st Half of 2021: ALBUM EDITION ***
...From the better late than never files...
Tumblr media
I realize one or two weeks in real world time is the equivalent of two or three years in music consumption time, so there is a better than average chance that most of you have not thought of what the best rap projects are for the first half of 2021 since July 4th weekend...
And full disclosure, I wrote the paragraph above way back in July and then immediately got sidetracked.  Whoops. 😬
Now here we are, summer’s over and A LOT of new music has dropped since 7/1, with plenty more to come!  So perhaps now is a great time to remind folks of some of the fantastic work that dropped in the first half of 2021?  This is more of an act of housekeeping for me, because it helps remind me of great albums that should still be considered new works of art, but per the social media cycle, they unfairly fall into the geriatric bin by year’s end.
SO HERE ARE / WERE MY PICKS FOR THE BEST RAP PROJECTS OF THE FIRST HALF OF 2021* (top 50 + oodles of Honorable Mentions)
