Kendrick Lamar simply reminded us there is no substitute for actual emotion in rap beef.

This morning, the LA rapper launched his response within the ongoing feud between himself and Drake, by dropping a six-minute diatribe geared toward Drizzy as a rap artist and, extra importantly, as an assassination of his character on a human degree.

“Euphoria” not solely references Drake’s involvement with the MAX hit drama of the identical title but in addition expresses the extent of elation Lamar seemingly feels in lastly getting this stuff off his chest. Lamar’s tune is the most recent plot level within the timeline of hostility between the 2 rap titans thought-about to be a part of hip-hop millennial Mount Rushmore. This can be a timeline that goes again over a decade and was just lately reignited at first of 2024 with a storm of messy diss tracks — each genuine and synthetic.

On the primary verse, Lamar makes use of a relaxed, cool but sinister supply: “Know you a grasp manipulator, and routine liar, too / However do not inform no lie ’bout me, and I will not inform truths ’bout you.”

However fairly rapidly, his rhymes erupt into tunnel-visioned, blood-boiling disgust on the deepest degree. Lamar accuses Drake of being an insufficient father to his son, mocks his Toronto slang, jeers at his rumored cosmetic surgery, alludes to him being a snitch, calls again to previous beefs Drake has remained mum about and even comes for Drake’s complete id, questioning his Blackness. These lyrical photographs, whereas undoubtedly disrespectful, actually usually are not something too explosive. In truth, these are accusations rap followers have heard earlier than about Drizzy through disses by Rick Ross, Megan Thee Stallion and Pusha T. However at 3:10, Okay.Dot breaks his ordinary poetic type to record out each element in regards to the streaming-era star he simply merely can’t stand:

I hate the way in which that you simply stroll, the way in which that you simply speak
I hate the way in which that you simply costume
I hate the way in which that you simply sneak diss
If I catch a flight it is gonna be direct
We hate the b****** you f*** as a result of they confuse themselves for actual ladies
Discover I say, “We”
It is not simply me; I am what the tradition feeling

Deployed in fast succession, this caliber of a callout is so visceral and actual that it is precisely what’s been lacking on this rap beef. To rap fandoms and music critics alike, a lot of this high-profile hip-hop conflict has simply felt off. Artificial, gummy, uninspired. Within the age of synthetic every part, even the confrontation between Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole and Drake (plus a couple of others alongside the way in which) has been marked by its detachment from the entire inventive premise of a rap beef — to point out off your abilities, up the ante and embarrass your opp into submission.

It has been a month (March 26) since Lamar threw the primary stone within the long-brewing beef together with his sub on the Future and Metro Boomin observe “Like That”: “Motherf*** the large three, n****, it is simply large me.”

After J. Cole dropped the observe “7 Minute Drill” on April 5 in response to “Like That,” Cole rescinded his diss and introduced publicly that he was bowing out of the meat fully whereas onstage at his label’s annual Dreamville Fest as a result of, level clean, Cole’s coronary heart wasn’t in it.

On April 19, Drake lastly unleashed his official response to Lamar with “Push Ups,” coming at Lamar’s previous pop-leaning options, his “pip-squeak” stature, mocking TDE’s tour gross sales and even name-checking “Like That” producer Metro Boomin within the course of. However the way in which “Push Ups” was rolled out created a brand new frontier of Web Age confusion amongst rap followers. When it first dropped, some assumed the low high quality, on-line leak was an AI-generated facade and never Drake himself. The legitimacy of “Push Ups” was confirmed by dwell streamer DJ Akademiks and finally hit DSPs, however this disorientation created an added layer of Web chatter, one Drake may capitalize on. Proving he was taking cues from social media timelines, Drake doubled down on his response to Lamar with one other observe, “Taylor Made Freestyle” only a few days later. Solely this time, he began off the tune with AI-generated verses from the late Tupac Shakur and the very alive Snoop Dogg.

The try and irk Lamar with manipulated voices of two West Coast legends was a uniquely 2024-type of transfer, however in the end, it undercut any efficiency of the tune. The Shakur property issued a stop and desist to the Toronto rapper for “unauthorized use of Tupac’s voice and character” and the observe was promptly taken down from social media.

Firing again with a observe that is as savage and emotional as “Euphoria” on a random Tuesday morning through YouTube is taken into account an old-school vitality in immediately’s period of infinite distribution avenues and a conversation-driving chess transfer that leads again to at least one supply. This file drips with ranges of seething, petty hatred for Drake that is clearly been on Okay.Dot’s coronary heart for years. At its core, “Euphoria” is fueled with begrudged, drained, emotional baggage from Okay.Dot that is solely gotten heavier with time and cannot be mimicked or manufactured. It is freed from gimmicks, media personalities, gatekeeping or ChatGPT. This beef is over or it is simply getting began. For actual this time.

MIAMI (AP) — Boston middle Kristaps Porzingis left the Celtics’ playoff sport in Miami on Monday night time late within the first half with what the staff mentioned was proper calf tightness.

The play occurred with about 2:35 left within the second quarter. Porzingis took a dribble as he tried to maneuver to his left, then pulled up — with none seen contact on that play — and instantly motioned to the Boston bench. He was subbed out eight seconds later and went on to the Celtics’ locker room, stopping alongside the way in which to tug the highest of his jersey over his face.

The Celtics went on to win 104-88, taking a 3-1 lead within the Japanese Convention first-round sequence over the Warmth.

“I assumed all people simply stepped it up,” Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla mentioned.

Porzingis took a pair awkward steps — favoring his left leg, it appeared — after that incident, limping a bit however remained within the sport. He additionally was knocked to the ground with 2:57 left within the half, on a play the place Boston’s Al Horford was referred to as for an offensive foul whereas setting a display.

The problem the place Porzingis requested to return out occurred on Boston’s subsequent offensive possession.

Horford began the second half in Porzingis’ place. If Porzingis misses any time, Mazzulla mentioned the Celtics will stay the Celtics.

“Nothing adjustments,” Mazzulla mentioned. “Bringing the identical mindset, intentionality, toughness, particulars to the following sport no matter who’s accessible. It doesn’t matter. There’s no distinction between the common season and the playoffs. And all yr, we’ve had guys step in and play.”

Porzingis missed seven video games earlier this season with what the Celtics referred to as left calf accidents, and he wears tape over the again of his left leg as a precaution.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — An aquarium in South Africa is stretched past capability after greater than 500 child sea turtles had been washed up on seashores by a uncommon and highly effective storm and rescued by members of the general public.

The little turtles are largely endangered loggerheads and ought to be cruising the ocean. Most of them as an alternative will spend the primary few months of their lives in newly constructed plastic tanks on the Turtle Conservation Middle on the Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape City. The aquarium is rehabilitating round 400 of the roughly 530 sick and injured turtles that had been introduced in, whereas sending the remainder to 2 different aquariums to unfold the load.

Child turtles should fend for themselves from the second they hatch on seashores and make their method to the ocean.

In South Africa, loggerheads hatch on the northeast coast on the far facet of the nation from Cape City. These turtles had been doubtless sucked in by the nice and cozy Indian Ocean Agulhas Present, carried across the tip of South Africa and spat out within the chilly waters of the Atlantic Ocean close to Cape City.

That’s pretty widespread, mentioned Talitha Noble-Trull, the pinnacle of the Turtle Conservation Middle. She’s in command of treating the brand new arrivals.

What isn’t regular is the highly effective storm that not too long ago hit the Cape City space, leaving a whole lot of child turtles needing assist.

The conservation middle often receives just a few to perhaps 100 stranded younger turtles within the three to 4 months after hatching season. It has a traditional capability of 150 turtles.

“What we haven’t seen earlier than is over 500 turtles in two weeks, which is what the final little little bit of time has introduced us,” Noble-Trull mentioned. “My budgeting plans for the 12 months have actually gone out the window.”

She estimated that every turtle will value $500 to get again to full power earlier than being launched into the hotter Indian Ocean in just a few months. The Turtle Conservation Middle has introduced in a small military of volunteers to assist the aquarium’s full-time employees look after them.

The turtles are ranked in keeping with how sick they’re, with some needing intensive care resulting from accidents, malnutrition or an infection. A quantity is written on every shell to determine them.

Whereas the storm was a serious shock to the turtles, who’re weak to excessive climate and local weather change, it has given Noble-Trull and different conservationists a precious perception into one other more and more widespread hazard.

Lots of the turtles had ingested small items of plastic, which exited their programs after they arrived on the aquarium. Noble-Trull has a tray of plastic items collected in simply sooner or later, some as large as a fingernail.

The conservation staff usually wouldn’t see that quantity of proof of plastic air pollution within the ocean.

Turtles spend nearly all their lives within the ocean, other than once they’re born and when females return to shore to put eggs. Due to that, they’re “ocean indicators,” Noble-Trull mentioned.

“Little bits of sentimental plastic, little bits of onerous plastic are floating all alongside the oceans and turtles are consuming them. So, for us it’s essential to be accumulating and capturing this knowledge. As a result of these turtles are coming at us with a message. They’re not telling us. They’re shouting it at us. That our oceans are usually not a secure place for turtles.”

AP Africa information:

Going 55 in a 35 zone was solely the primary of Monroe County District Legal professional Sandra Doorley’s errors final Monday. That in itself would have been a black mark however a tolerable one if she had pulled over and gracefully accepted her ticket when Police Officer Cameron Crisafulli used his lights and sirens.

As an alternative, as captured by body-worn digital camera video launched underneath the state Freedom of Info Regulation, the prosecutor stored driving till reaching her dwelling, phoning Webster Chief of Police Dennis Kohlmeier to “inform [Crisafulli] to go away me alone.” In doing so, Doorley not solely tried to get a cop in bother for doing his responsibility, however violated the belief that Rochester and the remainder of Monroe County has put in her.

Those that pledge to uphold the legislation have a particular accountability to observe it scrupulously. They’re granted an influence that’s extra than simply symbolic — they’re given state-sponsored authority over others’ lives. The notion of this authority as official is essential, and each time that energy is abused undermines that legitimacy, not only for that one particular person however for the system they symbolize.

Not less than this incident was a spur-of-the-moment response reasonably than consultant of deliberate, long-term prosecutorial misconduct of the type that has sadly change into acquainted to the general public by incidents like prosecutors refusing to show over exonerating proof or counting on testimony they know to be false.

Nonetheless, this reflexive response on Doorley’s half alerts fairly clearly how she sees herself in relation to the legal guidelines that she’s charged with implementing: they don’t apply to her. We will’t think about that she can be significantly understanding if one other resident had refused to heed a cop’s lawful order to drag over, no matter what sort of day the rouge driver had.

Gov. Hochul’s referral to the state Fee on Prosecutorial Conduct is completely applicable; now what’s left to be seen is that if the fee has the chops to actually pursue a full inquiry after years of languishing. Taking motion in opposition to an elected DA might help show to the general public that prosecutors, even well-connected ones, don’t get a free go.

Right here we additionally see the utility of police body-worn cameras, which take a few of the he-said, she-said out of the equation. Within the absence of the video, there would solely be competing characterizations of the interplay; previous to its launch, Doorley contended, absurdly, that she had referred to as Kohlmeier in an effort to have the chief guarantee Crisafulli that she posed no hazard to him.

The decision makes it clear Doorley was mendacity to the cop, when she stated repeatedly that the explanation that she didn’t cease was that she didn’t suppose that hers was the automobile he was pursuing. Doorley simply didn’t need to need to observe the legislation.

Hopefully, police departments will start to as shortly adjust to requests for physique digital camera footage even when it doesn’t again up their account of occasions, in order that these may be true instruments of accountability versus instruments of selective narrative, as they’ve so usually been in over the previous few years.

There isn’t a increased demand for these with a badge, whether or not cops or prosecutors, than accountability for a way they use the good energy positioned in them.

For over three a long time, Monroe County District Lawyer Sandra Doorley made a profession out of prosecuting people suspected of violating the regulation.

Final week, her personal integrity was referred to as into query when body-worn digicam footage captured Doorley wielding her place in defiance of a Webster police officer who tried to cease her for rushing down Phillips Street.

“I am the DA,” Doorley instructed the officer moments after she parked in her storage and referred to as Webster Police Chief Dennis Kohlmeier, pleading with him to inform the officer to “depart me alone.”

“If you happen to give me a visitors ticket, that is effective,” she continued. “I am the one who prosecutes it.”

Doorley issued an apology video Monday. New York Governor Kathy Hochul has referred to as for an investigation by a prosecutorial misconduct fee. Different group members need Doorley’s resignation.

Who’s Sandra Doorley?

The incident has come after an extended profession in Monroe County.

Doorley, 60, began within the district lawyer’s workplace in 1992, serving almost 20 years in numerous high-ranking positions earlier than she was elected to the highest position in 2011. She holds the consideration of Monroe County’s first feminine district lawyer.

Whereas she first ran on a Democratic platform, Doorley switched to the Republican Celebration in 2015. She was re-elected by voters thrice, together with final November when she ran unopposed.

Doorley served as president of the District Attorneys Affiliation of the State of New York in 2020. She lives in Webster together with her husband and a Goldendoodle named Finn. She has two daughters.

Sandra Doorley: Profession highlights and criticisms

Doorley leads a employees of about 95 attorneys throughout the county, however her administrative duties have not saved her from the courtroom. In an interview with Spectrum Information final month, she described making ready for trials as her “pleased place.”

Throughout her profession, Doorley constructed a fame for prosecuting chilly circumstances utilizing DNA proof. The latest instance is the conviction of Timothy Williams within the 1984 rape and homicide of 14-year-old Wendy Jerome final month. The case went unsolved for almost 40 years. The prosecution was the primary of its variety in New York: Williams was arrested utilizing “familial DNA,” which police used to slender an inventory of suspects.

Doorley was additionally lead prosecutor within the high-profile murders of two Rochester law enforcement officials: Daryl Pierson in 2014 and Anthony Mazurkiewicz in 2022.

Doorley served as murder bureau chief within the three years working as much as her position as district lawyer. In 2019, her workplace prosecuted 20,000 circumstances, rating it among the many high district lawyer’s workplaces in New York based mostly on caseload.

Others oppose her extra conventional law-and-order strategy.

In 2019, Doorley’s challenger for the district lawyer seat, Shani Curry Mitchell, ran on a platform of legal justice reform ― wanting previous incarceration as the first response to crime. Mitchell argued that insurance policies inside Doorley’s workplace, corresponding to low-level marijuana possession prices, led to the arrest of extra African Individuals and exacerbated racial inequities within the jail inhabitants.

In 2020, following the loss of life of Daniel Prude, protesters referred to as for Doorley’s resignation, saying she fails to prosecute police misconduct in Monroe County.

Doorley would disagree; the yr prior her workplace prosecuted former RPD Officer Michael Sippel of a misdemeanor assault when questioning a person on a metropolis sidewalk. She additionally personally prosecuted former Greece Police Chief Merritt Rahn, who was convicted of attempting to cowl up the crimes of a few of his law enforcement officials.

Doorley additionally confronted criticism from social justice advocates over her stance on bail reform, which she stated would result in a cycle of “catch and launch” for space criminals. And for years, the district lawyer has spoken towards the Elder Parole Act, a invoice that will prolong parole eligibility to people 55 or over who’ve served at the very least 15 years of their sentence ― calling it “anti-victim.”

Over the weekend, the body-worn digicam video of Doorley’s visitors cease emboldened her critics, who referred to as it proof of a two-tiered system of justice, the place race, class, and standing decide how you might be handled by the regulation.
