Alice Glass has finally spoken out on IG, Disproving the crazy rumours against Jupiter Keyes , Discusses Trolls, what’s really going on & shares a website with receipts!

- Alice’s IG post here

on the website Alice shared, there is documentation alleging that Edith & Ethan from CC have also potentially played a major role in these false rumours, because if they can try to get the general public to turn on Alice & Jupiter, then they can attempt to bring back Alice Glass’ ex-abuser .

There is also documentation proving that the allegations from Shan against Jupiter were also completely fabricated, and that she had outside help to create these crazy rumours..

One thing I've always found interesting is how differently hip hop treats aging compared to other genres. It feels like once a rapper hits their 40s or 50s, they're suddenly labeled as "washed" or irrelevant. There are exceptions of course with artists like Kanye West for example but in general a lot of younger fans don't even give their new music a chance, while older fans often only want to hear the classics. On top of that, there's this constant "old heads vs. young rappers debate that never seems to end.

Compare that to rock, where artists like The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Motley Crue, Metallica or whatever can still sell out arenas, release new music, and be respected without people constantly questioning whether they're "too old." You don't really see the same stigma.

Im not sure how many people have listened to headache, but it’s essentially these very deep metaphorical spoken word poems set to instrumentals.

The actual lyrics themselves are written by a human poet, and the beats are created by humans, but the vocals are spoken by ai.

Imo, this is a very interesting medium for the whole topic of ai in music. I personally find it to still be an amazing project based on the focal point being these very poignant beautiful lyrics that are man made, but was curious to get others thoughts. Does it ruin it for you? Does it still have merit?

I'm American, but I've noticed that most of my favorite bands and artists are from England lol, David Bowie, The Cure, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Clash, Pink Floyd, Queen, Joy Division, The Smiths, Blur, Radiohead... I could honestly go on and on.

It makes me wonder what it is about England that has produced so many groundbreaking musicians. Across multiple decades and genres, British artists seem to have had an incredible ability to reinvent popular music rather than simply follow existing trends.

I also think that, at least during the 1960s, American rock bands were often playing catch up. While we had obviously pioneered rock and roll through artists like Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard, many British bands took those influences and pushed them in new, more experimental directions. The Beatles revolutionized songwriting and studio production, Pink Floyd helped redefine psychedelic and progressive rock, The Rolling Stones gave blues a grittier edge, and later bands like Joy Division, The Smiths, and Radiohead continued that tradition of innovation.

Obviously America has produced countless legendary artists of its own, but when I look at the sheer number of influential British bands that emerged over such a relatively small period of time, it's hard not to be impressed. It almost feels like Britain consistently punched above its weight when it came to shaping the direction of modern popular music.

EDIT: A few people pointed out that some of the bands in the picture aren't actually British and some i don't think are that good lol, I honestly didn't even notice that until now, lol. Sorry about that guys, I just found the image on Pinterest and thought it looked cool without really paying attention to every band that was included. The picture was just meant to be a visual for the post, so i would rather people focus on the discussion in the post itself rather than the image.

Lil Wayne arrived 2 hours late to his NH show, this comes after the fact that he was a no show to his first date on tour

Bon Iver, Bon Iver — Bon Iver. The combination of indie folk and electronic music that has become very popular in the last 15 years can all be traced back to this album and Justin Vernon’s willingness to be such a one of a kind creative force.

Is it just me or is mentorship in the rap game not as big as it used to be? I’m thinking Birdman and Lil Wayne, Dr. Dre and Eminem, Jay-Z and Kanye, Lil Wayne and Drake. I feel like there are a lot fewer examples of that among rap stars who started out after 2015 or so. You could maybe say Young Thug and Gunna and Kendrick and Baby Keem, but I feel like it just isn’t as common. What do you guys think?
