Flo Milli is amping up on the sweetness. Tonight (September 8), she has shared a new single, “Chocolate Rain,” after having previously teased the song on social media.

“Chocolate Rain” is full of witty bars and sugary candy metaphors guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth, and Flo Milli’s girly flair makes the song all the more catchy.

“Oh, b*tch, behave / For your mama-ma / Come taste this wave Coco, na-na-na Go insane / I go La-la-la / Make this chocolate rain,” raps Flo on the song’s chorus.

The confectionary goodness continues, as Flo alludes to even more treats throughout the song. On another one of her verses, she raps, “damn, I know he want all my goodies / Taste the Nutella when he eat the cookie.”

And soon, Flo will be bringing all the good stuff to your town. Yesterday, she announced the Thanks For Coming Here, Ho Tour, which will kick off this October in San Francisco.

Additionally, Flo is gearing up for the release of her sophomore album, Fine Ho, Stay, completing the reality television-inspired trilogy, which comprises of her debut mixtape, Ho, Why Is You Here, and her debut album, You Still Here, Ho?.

Young Nudy’s “Peaches & Eggplants” was one of this summer’s more randy hits. Tonight (September 8), the East Atlanta rapper has dropped an even saucier remix, featuring two of the leading ladies in the rap game right now.

Joined by Sexyy Red and Latto, Nudy’s hit single now has a more feminine-empowering edge to it. And believe us, these ladies don’t hold back.

The St. Louis newcomer, who has been giving us hit-after-hit these past few months, sets the tone for the song, delivering scandalous lines not for the faint of heart.

“Hit from the back, rip off my tracks / Grip on my booty, you know that it’s fat / Hoes stay tweakin’, lil’ b*tch, relax,” raps Red on her verse. These are probably the most printable lyrics, and her fiery bars make her breakthrough single “Pound Town” sound like a playground song.

Equally as raunchy is Latto’s verse. And while we can’t share much of her lines, this is a continuation of a high-quality feature run that the fellow ATL rapper has been giving us all summer.

“He wanna know if it’s real or it’s fake / I got a peach on the back like a plate / I got him eatin’ my booty on tape,” raps Latto

At long last, Olivia Rodrigo has made her much-anticipated return. Tonight (September 8), Rodrigo has shared her sophomore album, Guts. With Guts, Rodrigo deals with typical 20-something problems, while grappling with newfound fame and notoriety. From the very beginning of the album, she reminds us that she is unapologetic in her self-empowering ways.

Guts opens with “All-American B*tch,” which features Rodrigo addressing criticisms and defying the boxes in which the public has tried to place her.

“I am built like a mother and a total machine / I feel for your every little issue, I know just what you mean / And I make light of the darkness / I’ve got sun in my motherf*ckin’ pocket / Best believe, yeah, you know me,” sings Rodrigo on the song’s opening verse.

In a recent conversation with Phoebe Bridgers for Interview Magazine, Rodrigo revealed that this particular song was inspired by a portion of Joan Didion’s book, The White Album.

“I was reading this bit about her going to San Francisco to meet all these hippies—5-year-olds were dropping acid and going to Grateful Dead concerts. She was talking to some hippie who ran away from home and he called his mom an all-American b*tch,” said Rodrigo. “And I was like, ‘That’s the f*cking coolest phrase I’ve ever heard,’ so I had to write a song about it.”

Three years after leaving the world shook with their “WAP” collaboration, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion have teamed up for another collab. Their newest single, “Bongos” is a pounding dembow-influenced heater which will surely be in heavy rotation for the foreseeable future.

Cardi opens the song, letting us know right out the gate who’s in control. She commands the beat, instructing one of her beholders to “eat this ass like a plum.” She continues her raunchy verse, declaring, “p*ssy tight like a nun / Better chew it up like it’s gum / Then wipe your mouth when you done.”

Reminding us of their musical chemistry as a duo, Meg pops in, putting the clout chasers on notice, letting them know she can’t be bothered with the fakes.

“This ass sit like a stallion, all these wannabes my lil ponies / These hoes camped out in the comments, always talkin’ like they know me,” she raps

The accompanying music video sees Meg and Cardi on a colorful island wearing flashy outfits and twerking to their hearts’ content.

Earlier this evening (September 7), news broke of Zach Bryan’s arrest in Oklahoma. At the time, TMZ reported that Bryan was booked in Craig County Jail on an obstruction of investigation charge, though the details of the charge were not clear. Following the arrest, Bryan took to Twitter to offer an explanation of the events that took place leading up to his booking.

“Today I had an incident with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol,” said Bryan. “Emotions got the best of me and I was out of line in the things I said.
I support law enforcement as much as anyone can, I was just frustrated in the moment, it was unlike me and I apologize. They brought me to jail, and there is a mug shot of me floating around. Prayers we can all move on from this and prayers people know I’m just trying the best I can, I love you guys and I am truly sorry to the officers.”

Over the course of the past year, Bryan has received much acclaim for his breakthrough single, “Something In The Orange,” and his live album, All My Homies Hate Ticketmaster. Bryan is currently sitting at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 with his Kacey Musgraves duet, “I Remember Everything.”

Rising country artist Zach Bryan has reportedly been arrested in Oklahoma. According to TMZ, who first reported the news, the “I Remember Everything” singer was arrested today (September 8) in the town of Vinita.

According to jail records, which were reportedly obtained by TMZ, Bryan was booked on an obstruction of investigation charge.

Over the course of the past year, Bryan’s fan base has grown significantly. His song “Something In The Orange” proved to be a hit last year, and his All My Homies Hate Ticketmaster live album proved to be a hit among fans fed up with the namesake ticket seller.

However, over the course of the past 24 hours, fans have expressed disappointment toward Bryan, as his upcoming tour has partnered with Ticketmaster.

Shortly before the sale, Bryan posted on Twitter his regret for having to use Ticketmaster.

“Everyone complained about AXS last year,” Bryan said. “Using all ticketing sites this year. All my homies still do hate Ticketmaster but hard to realize one guy can’t change the whole system. It is intentionally broken and I’ll continue to feel absolutely horrible about the cost of tickets in an unfair market.”

At the time of writing, it is unclear what led to to the obstruction of investigation charge.

Kids, as much as we love them, they’re like our little broke best friends. They seemingly always want something and have little to no concept on how much money things cost.

There are some parents that start explaining how finances and budgeting works at an early age so kids know what to expect. It also likely helps them understand that parents don’t have an infinite amount of money to spend on unnecessary items. Ariel B. is a mom and content creator that created budgeting worksheets for her children to use to learn how to budget and uploaded the video to TikTok.

Let’s just say, the kids were a bit stressed before they even finished the worksheet.

---

The mom of four gathered her children around the table with budgeting worksheets and a $3,000 imaginary budget, which is based off of a $15 minimum wage plus an additional $500. Ariel explained the average cost of rent in their area and instructed her kids to look up the average cost for utilities in an apartment.

“How long are you leaving your lights on,” one of her daughters asks. To which Ariel responds, “well, all of our lights are on in here and you don’t seem to mind.”

At one point in the video, they’re discussing a food budget when one of her children says he will eat take out daily. Reality quickly set in when Ariel encouraged them to crunch some numbers.

“That’s too much money, actually,” the younger daughter exclaims. “I just won’t eat lunch. I’ll just eat a big breakfast. I probably won’t eat breakfast.”

In another video, one of the children is appalled that they would be expected to pay first and last month’s rent when moving into an apartment. The older daughter is simply flabbergasted at the lack of available money.

“I have nothing. I have no money at all. And I don’t know what to do about it,” the girl says. I cut all of my ones and I’m already on a bike. Like I don’t know what to do. Like what else can I do?”

Oh, little ones, welcome to Adulting 101. These kids are likely thanking all of the stars in the sky that this was just an imaginary situation and not something they need to worry about for a long time.

Rock music tends to ignite fears among religious conservatives regardless of genre, but heavy metal strikes a particular chord. Since the days of Black Sabbath, metal has been labeled as an evil force and perpetrator of violence.

But ask Tobias Forge, frontman of Grammy winning Swedish metal band Ghost, and he’ll tell you that metal bands are far from the dark cults some would make them out to be.

---

Known for highly theatrical performances where Forge takes on the persona of either a “demonic anti-pope” named Papa Emeritus or a “Sith-like” Cardinal to perform songs with religious undertones like “Mary on a Cross” with other member of the groups, aka “Nameless Ghouls,” Ghost has racked up some hardcore fans, along with equally hardcore protestors.

Back in 2018, one protest made national headlines, after a pastor from Midland, Texas stated “I think they really do worship the devil,” and expressed concern for an upcoming Ghost concert happening in his community, fearing the “spiritual influences” the band would bring to the area.

In an exclusive interview with Yahoo Entertainment, however, Forge attested that taking any of the stylistic choices made for Ghost as literal would be missing the band’s actual messaging.

“It’s not about God at all,” he told Yahoo. “It’s about man, mankind. I use language and analogy to make it seem that it is about other things, but the songs are usually…about very real things.”

This sentiment harkens back to another incident not very long ago involving Sam Smith and Kim Petras during their Grammy Award performance of “Unholy.” Where in previous interviews it was explained that satanic imagery was incorporated to help illustrate how people in the LGBTQ community often feel “unwanted” in religion, many simply labeled it as “devil worship.”

So too in the case of Ghost, certain viewers are triggered and therefore can’t interpret what they are seeing as metaphor, and instead think they are actually being coerced to join the dark side.

However, as Forge argues, “there are other music styles that promote a way worse lifestyle,” citing pop music as a major offender.

“[Pop] music styles that promote a way of living that their fans will never have — when music is all about ‘making it’ and wearing ‘bling-bling’ and ‘all them b**ches,’ and the idea that without that stuff you’re nothing — that is a bad influence for your fans,” he said.

“At least with most gothic or hard rock music, it’s about feeling good about yourself.”

What’s more, Forge shared that while, yes, rock fans have caused harm in the past, he speculated that it had more to do with where they were at in their lives, and not the music itself. In fact, “it might have even been the music that made them live so long, that kept them going,” he said.

Indeed, Forge’s opinions have some scientific backing.

Research has shown that listening to intense music does not contribute to aggressive tendencies. On the contrary, it has positive psychological benefits for those that do enjoy listening to it. According to Psych Central, metal can even improve symptoms of stress and depression, and those that listen to it regularly have higher logic based cognitive function and scientific thinking skills.

All in all, those sound like pretty un-evil side effects.

Metal music has always been a champion for misunderstood outcasts. Sure, it might not be for everyone, but it really does promote messages of acceptance and the freedom of creative expression. For some people, it’s the perfect antidote for life’s ailments. And that’s what many metal creators wish others understood.

As Forge put it, despite the reputation, “actually what we’re really trying to do is make people happy and make people feel good about themselves when they come to our show and have a good time.”

Even though humans worldwide share the same senses, feelings, needs, wants and desires, our languages and the ways we communicate have evolved separately, so some languages have phrases and words that have no equivalent in others.

These words often emerge from the unique cultures, histories, and environments that shape each language. It’s like a special secret, a word that captures a feeling, a situation, or an object so precisely that perhaps no other word in any other language can replicate it exactly.

The uniqueness of each language showcases the beauty and diversity of human experiences and perspectives. Moreover, it underlines the delightful intricacy of languages, inviting us to see the world through different lenses and embrace perspectives shaped by differing social nuances. It’s a testament to the vibrant tapestry of human expression.

The difference in languages is a beautiful thing. But it can also be frustrating when one speaks multiple languages and there is no way to express a certain feeling in one language that they can in another.

A Reddit user named Don_Pickelball asked foreign-born people who live in English-speaking countries to share the words that exist in their native language that are sorely missed in English. Here are 15 of the most interesting.

1. Geborgenheit (German)

“In German, we have the word ‘Geborgenheit’ which describes a very specific feeling of feeling cozy and safe and protected. Like you would feel when you’re around loved ones sitting around a fire or when the person you love holds you under the warm covers when it’s raining outside. I tried to explain this to someone the other day and when we googled the translation- it came up with ‘cozyness’ which really doesn’t pay justice to what it actually means.” — Else1

2. Verschlimmbessern (German)

“If you try to fix something but actually make it worse than it was before.” — Chili919

3. Geborgenheid (Dutch)

“It is about feeling safe and sheltered because someone who loves you and cares for you makes sure nobody can hurt you.” — Illimprovement700

4. Komorebi (Japanese)

“It roughly translates as ‘the scattered light that filters through when sunlight shines through trees.'” — tipsy_jana

5. Saudade (Portuguese)

“It has a similar meaning to ‘miss you’ but we have a direct translation for that ‘senti sua falta,’ saudade has more of an emotional feel to it, it’s really hard to explain, it’s deeper than simply missing someone.” — Peddy_D

6. Backpfeifengesicht (German)

“A face in need of a fist.” — No_Tamanegi

7. Estrenar (Spanish)

“To use something for the first time.” — Ratonvacilon23

8. Kuchisabishii (Japanese)

“A Japanese term which directly translates to ‘lonely mouth;’ when you’re not hungry, but you eat because your mouth is lonely.” — MOS95B

9. Kalsarikännit (Finnish)

“Meaning deliberately getting drunk alone at home in your underpants with zero plans of meeting anyone or going out. I think other nations do this as well, but don’t have a word for it. Delightfully relaxing and therapeutic at times, slightly concerning if done excessively. At best a wonderful opportunity to touch base with yourself, your life and your deepest thoughts and feelings. And/or watch that one cheesy comedy from 1992 you love but can’t get any of your friends to watch with you because they have standards. At worst you wake up to an unholy mess accompanied by a killer headache, cheese all over the bed, cryptic messages on ripped up pieces of pizza box cardboard written by you to you all over the kitchen, and have nobody to blame than yourself.” — Fit_Share_6147

10. Chaw-tamaw-tey-quat (Comanche)

“My native language is a Native American language called Comanche and isn’t a written language but the word sounds like ‘chaw-tamaw-tey-quat’ and it basically is a socially acceptable way to say ‘I’m done speaking.'” — SCP-33005

11. Tachiyomi (Japanese)

“Japanese has loads of words that require entire sentences to explain in English. My favorite of all time is tachiyomi, which means ‘standing at a newsstand reading something without any intention of paying for it.'” — the2belo

12. Lagom (Swedish)

“It means not bad, and not too good. Just an average between. A very neutral word. For example, when you wash your hands, the water should be lagom hot. Not cold, not scalding hot. Just lagom.” — Live_Rock3302

13. Luce (Farsi)

“It basically means intentionally acting all cutesy/precious/coy because you think it’s appealing.” — _eviehalboro

14. Sobremesa (Spanish)

“After a meal when you sit around the table talking.” — KommieKoala

15. Załatwić (Polish)

“It means to get something done using connections/ persuasion/ backroom dealings.” — —Loading—
