RIHANNA DEDICATES HER 30TH BIRTHDAY TO HER MOM

Rihanna’s huge 30th birthday was this Tuesday, February 20th, and she certainly celebrated all her success in life. Instead of focusing the day on herself, she focused it on her mother Monica.

Rihanna posted a really cute and loving Instagram post you can view here:

She wrote:

“10958 days ago @monica_fenty became a mother for the first time to her only daughter! Today is just as much your birthday as it is mine! I love you mom! Thank you for carrying me, birthing me, raising me, supporting me, teaching me, and loving me unconditionally! The woman I am today is because of everything that you are!
I thank God for perfectly hand picking you to be my mother when He sent my spirit to you! You are the greatest! Thank you! #💕”

This was so cheesy, but you gotta show some love for your mother. Can you imagine giving birth to Rihanna? You would feel like you hit the jackpot. I would be very proud of being the Anti singer’s mother.

Her mother also had something to say in her Instagram post:

I’m going to cry, little Rihanna looks so cute as a kid. I wonder what she was known for in school? Probably being the coolest girl in Kindergarten I assume.

Rihanna’s younger brother also wanted to get in on the Instagram action:

I would be writing in all caps too! She’s only 30 and one of the biggest stars in the game. He probably doesn’t have to work anymore.

Although Rihanna did dedicate the day to her mother, she was also seen celebrating.

Check out her Instagram posts at her party here:

All this endearment made followers feel so much love for this family.

But abusive ex boyfriend Chris Brown couldn’t stand seeing Rihanna recieve all this praise. 

He posted something himself:

Oh Chris Brown, can’t you just realize that no one cares about you anymore.

This Tweet explained all my thoughts perfectly:

Overall it seems like Rihanna had a great 30th birthday and she deserves it. I wish you well Rih-Rih, and I hope this year inspires your next work.

WHAT YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT KANYE WEST’S LIFE OF PABLO

Kanye West’s album, Life of Pablo was released February 14, 2016. This was about two years ago, but the hype from this album will never die down. This album was one of his best works of art yet which is pretty high phrase since Kayne’s entire career was defined by putting out some of the best rap albums of “all time”. Yes, I didn’t miss my chance to make a 2009 VMA joke. (Hi Taylor Swift!).

On his opening track “Ultralight Beam” it talks about his faith in God which sets up a theme for the album of being otherworldly.

Listen to “Ultralight Beam” here:

But what you didn’t know is that the introduction wasn’t recorded in the studio. It is actually a four-year-old girl, Natalie Green. She was recorded talking to her mom about her faith in God. Not only is this extremely cute, it is rather funny to see a four-year-old girl expressing such intelligent thought. This is a clip that works perfectly on the album, and upon first listen one wouldn’t even realize it is a voice of a kid.

Watch the viral video here:

Kanye certainly took inspiration from this faithful little girl.

[BANDS YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO] TOOL

Tool is an alternative metal band composed of drummer Danny Carey, guitarist Adam Jones, and vocalist Maynard James Keenan. They are the leading American metal acts of the ‘90s inspired by unrelenting aggression and focused intensity.

Rolling Stone describes them as:

“Emerging in the early 1990s, Tool bridged the gap between classic heavy metal and alternative rock, mixing grinding guitars, dark thundering rhythms, and challenging lyrics.”

The vocalist Maynard James Keenan is an exceptionally talented artis that has a creative eye for the spiritual world. He takes his critical dark perspective on the world to create music and visuals that are thought-provoking and multi-layered. Tool is not like other bands in which they don’t care about a paycheck, but a chance to get their revolutionary and twisted views out to people who hold the same view points. They are unlike any other band, which makes them true icons in a sense.

Over the last four years, I have always gone back to Tool. They are a band that you never get tired of and even after multiple listens, one still finds a new meaning to take from the song. No one can be compared to them which makes them such a unique find. They do have similar styles to Nine Inch Nails, but they are on a different level than them.

Here are their top two best songs that defined them as artists:

Now you can thank me for showing you your new favorite song.

Now that you know these songs exist, you can listen to some of their other trippy masterpieces.

Also, check out Maynard James Keenan’s other bands: A Perfect Circle and Puscifer.

BAND TATTOO COVER UPS

When you have a favorite band, you want to get their lyrics tattooed all over your body if you are an extreme fangirl. But that comes at a price when these bands get outed for abuse. It can actually traumatize people knowing they have a creep tattooed on their body forever. So what do you do after that happens? Well, you can cut your skin off, or you can get a cover-up. 

When the rock band Brand New’s lead singer got outed for sexual abuse, some tattoo artists stepped up to the plate. Tattoo artist Harriet Heath of Tooth and Talon tattoo is covering up Brand New tattoos in exchange for a donation to Rape Crisis England and Wales.

She stated,

“I feel so much sympathy for those who feel sick to their stomachs having his words on their bodies and want to be rid of them. I would like to give priority on this day to those who have been affected by sexual assault, for whom this news causes extra pain to. When you contact me you can simply add a #metooto the email and I will do my best to fit you in on the day.”

Could you imagine having this on your arm?

I would be pretty pissed to have this on both my arms

When the band Front Porch Step got outed for the lead singer trying to sleep with 14-year-olds, fans were enraged and went to the tattoo shop the next day.

Could you imagine actually supporting this creep?

The art of covering up a tattoo is even more impressive than the original design so I have a high regard for these artists who are able to do it well. Maybe one should think about getting a band tattooed on their body next time, we really have no idea what these people are like in reality.
