Prince Harry ‘only knows negativity, blame, immaturity and victimization’

Image
[ad_1] Prince Harry can reportedly offer the Royal Family nothing but “negativity, blame, immaturity and victimization” until he grows in his own. Writer Peggy Drexler issued this claim in her newly released op-ed piece for the CNN . Drexler believes, “Perhaps someday we’ll hear from Harry as Harry, a man truly independent of the royal family from which he has claimed, time and again, he desperately wants to separate.” “Until then, we can likely expect more of the same negativity, blame, immaturity and victimization — qualities, in fact, quite unbecoming of a royal. But, then, Harry no longer is one.” [ad_2] Source link https://worldnews2023.com/entertainment/prince-harry-only-knows-negativity-blame-immaturity-and-victimization/?feed_id=84526&_unique_id=64ec7585b5aa3

How André 3000’s ‘the South got something to say’ speech changed hip-hop

[ad_1] Comment on this story Comment First in a series of five Retropolis stories looking back at key moments in hip-hop history during the week of its 50th anniversary. Before the Southern sound took over hip-hop — and then, by default, pop music — the American music industry required rappers be from one of two coasts. And the Gulf Coast wasn’t one of them. The industry hadn’t yet realized how much money it could make off Southern artists such as Missy Elliot, Lil Wayne, Megan Thee Stallion, Ludacris, Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, J. Cole. Anything that wasn’t from New York, where hip-hop was born, was attacked like an immune system suppressing a foreign body. “It was so difficult for us to break into New York. Hip-hop-wise there was no way,” Scarface of the Geto Boys told The Washington Post from his Houston home earlier this year. “You could get your album played all over the f------ country, but New York was not letting you in.” By 1995, the cultural and artistic hub that is the South

A night in Ukraine’s sleepless capital, taking cover from Russian bombs

(Sasha Maslov/For The Washington Post) Comment on this story Comment KYIV, Ukraine — Each time the sirens wake Viktoriia Pysmenna, she follows the same drill. Desperate for more sleep, the 35-year-old single mother rolls over, scrolls through the air raid Telegram channels — “almost like checking the weather” — and starts counting minutes. If another Russian airstrike is headed for Kyiv, she must get out of bed, again. She must wake her 12-year-old son, Mark, in the middle of the night, again. If it’s a drone, they might have a couple of hours. A ballistic missile? Just minutes. The boy already knows where to go: into the bathtub, where his mother tucks him in with pillows and blankets and waits for the blasts — hopefully from Ukraine’s air defenses thwarting the attack. This is the terrifying nighttime routi
