After the huge success of season one and the lackluster showing in season two, viewers waited with anticipation where season three would land on the satisfaction scale. Last night, during the Oscars, the show aired the season three finale to some mixed results from the public.
The finale juggles through all three timelines and we get answers to pretty much everything, but perhaps not in the way we intend. In the 2015 timeline, Wayne and Roland track down the man known as Mr. June and he divulges everything that happened back in 1980 with the disappearance to Julie Purcell. The story the show had been telling up to this point was dark and grim, but the resolution of the case showed the abduction of Julie wasn’t nearly grisly as one would imagine. It wasn’t a part of a larger conspiracy, it was an abduction that went tragically wrong, leaving a wake of destruction in its path. The case wasn’t really solved by Wayne or Roland, it was just disclosed, leaving Roland to wonder if knowing the full story changes the way he feels about his life.
Mahershala Ali won the Oscar for best supporting actor last night and was the starred in this season of True Detective (Reuters).
The finale wasn’t about the case, but about how it affected these people and this town over the course of nearly 40 years. In 1980, we see that Wayne is relegated to desk duty because of the op-ed piece written by Amelia, leaving a divide between the two only for them to come right back to one another. In 1990, we see Wayne and Amelia continuing to mend their relationship that has been constantly fractured due to the Purcell case. Roland is clearly overwhelmed after murdering Harris James and starts a massive bar fight between some bikers. Outside the bar he seeks companionship with a stray dog, throughout the whole series Roland thrives through presence of others and struggles when he’s alone. The 2015 timeline is where we leaned into a bit of controversy amongst viewers. Wayne does in fact track down Julie Purcell after all these years, but his fading memory leads him to forget where he is. There is a moment where we see that Wayne may remember what he’s doing, but it’s left to us to decide. The final shot of the season shows Wayne, back in Vietnam, walking into the jungle. It’s certainly a choice to have that moment be the capstone on the whole season, but after letting it sit, it may be a brilliant finish to the story. Wayne’s purpose in life was to track, he’s been doing it all his life, it’s all he knows, and the final moment of his fleeting memory that we see is him wading into the dangers of the Vietnam jungle.

J.cole comes through with a video that well makes you think Jordan Peele made have had some effect on it. But before all that Cole is seriously not joking about lining every rapper up and giving them bullet holes. Check out the video down below.
Last night the 91st Academy Awards came and went; a seemingly successful night that feature some controversy and surprise.
The big award of the night went to “Green Book,” which took home three awards including best original screenplay and best supporting actor. “Green Book” was a highly controversial pick for best picture, sparking outrage from Spike Lee and Don Shirley’s family over the portrayal of Mahershala Ali’s character. Alfonso Cuarón’s deeply personal and deeply beautiful film “Roma” was won three Oscars for directing, cinematography and foreign language film. With Cuarón’s win, it marks five out of the last six years a Mexican-born director has taken home best director.
Among some other notable winners, Rami Malek won best actor for his portrayal of rock icon Freddie Mercury, one of four Oscars won by “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and Olivia Coleman secured the biggest upset of the night, winning best actress for her role in “The Favourite.” It was her acceptance speech that stole the show and was one of the peaks of the night.
The signature moment of the show was when Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga shared the stage to perform their monster hit “Shallow.” This was the first time the two performed the song on television and they took over the internet. The song went on to win the award for best original song later on in the night.
The Oscars went hostless for the first time in thirty years and resulted in a smooth, relatively short show. The collapse in ratings over recent years has led to a mini crisis amongst the Academy and the decision to go without a host seemed bold at first, but really helped move the telecast along last night. Instead of a host, the show featured a collection of presenters to give out the various awards. Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph and Tina Fey kick off the show and steered the ship in the right direction with a mini-monologue. The tandem of Melissa McCarthy and Brian Tyree Henry highlighted the presenters when they gave out the award for best costume design wearing some of the most ridiculous outfits of all time. Despite some outrage around “Green Book,” the show seemed to go without a hitch this year.

Offset is the best Migo and he’s proven that on this album. This album was delayed a few times but QC and Offset made it worth the wait. Many were expecting a turn-up club album, but Offset surprised everybody with a personal POV of his past year.
Offset comes through with a 16 track album laced with features from Big Rube, J.Cole, Gunna, CeeLo Green, Travis Scott,21 Savage, Quavo, and of course his wife Cardi B. The album starts with Big Rube talking which give you those ATL voiceover memories, which leads into Offset apologizing to his kids about missing time in their lives. The following track “How Did I Get Here(feat.Jcole)” has Offset reminiscing about how far he’s come and everybody doubting him, “They didn’t think I was a star/ Then I fucked around and beat the odds.” Everybody knows Offset legal troubles early in his career, it is amazing to see how much he has changed since then.
Offset keeps the same vibe on tracks “Came a Long Way” and “North Star(Feat. Ceelo Green), which not only shows CeeLo vocal mastery talent but Offset surprises you too ” My dawg caught a lick/ Mama had a nigga scared” Offset might rival Quavo soon for top melody artist.
Offset also address his cheating scandal and apologizes to his wife Cardi B on “Don’t Lose Me” with lines “Number one, it’s a loyalty code (Number one) Temptation, had the devil in my soul (Temptation) I wanna be with you when we old (When we old)” which also features his Instagram apologize. The track must have done its job because she appears on the album to denounce the clout chaser on “Clout” and Cardi knows some of yall using her name for sells and attention “They using my name for clickbait/ Bitches even wanna start fake beef, to sell they weave and little mixtape/ I know that means traffic low.” This is definitely a shot at many people but we’re all going to assume its about one person.
Offset does switch vibes too give you those turn up tracks on “Wild Wild West”(Feat. Gunna), “Lick”, and “Legacy” (Feat. Travis Scott and 21 Savage) nothing top charting but they get the job done.
In all this is a solid album for Offset definitely better than Quavo and Takeoff solo projects. The album wasn’t made to have club bangers and spring anthems but to reveal another side to Offset dynamic. It was a personal account of everything that has happened in his life up until now, and once people realize that they will appreciate this album a lot more.
Our unproblematic social beautiful butterfly gives us all kinds of vibes on new EP “While We Wait,” to hold fans over until her album comes out. But honestly, she could have thrown three more tracks on the project and called it an album with no complaints from anybody. Seriously that’s how good it is, from the features to her beautiful, soulful voice which glides on most of these tracks Kehlani is amazing.
On her new EP which has 9 songs with features coming from Musiq Soulchild, DOM KENNEDY, Ty Dolla Sign, and 6lack. Kehlani is the epitome of what loving, unproblematic, carefree people look like and it showed during her whole pregnancy. Kehlani gives girls A whole project for any situation or mood their in, side piece catching feelings play him or her “Too Deep,” and you skating out that situation calmly. Ole boy still texting you asking about your new guy and worrying about your situation play Nunya(feat. Dom KENNEDY), on your Instagram and Snapchat starring none other than your new boy and watch his heart crumble.

If he cant handles you at your worst then he isn’t allowed to breath the same air as you when you’re glowing. That’s how Kehlani wants you to feel on her “Morning Glory” track which gets impressive when she switches her flow up like she was an original member of TLC.
Things getting distant during your relationship which is common RPG(feat.6lack) is the perfect song to get both perspectives. This song is a slow jam that is perfect for those nonverbal imitate moments that can explain everything without saying a word. 6lack comes through with the males perspective of things which helps even the most sacred man more understandable without speaking.
Ladies the moment you try and understand a guy and love him the way he needs it, is the moment you become everything too him. Kehlani is preaching to y’all on “Love Language” because how are you going to love somebody you can’t understand?
Kehlani comes through with a solid EP that gets the job done, to hold fans over while we wait. The features fit and its cohesive with her being over shine.
