Losing vital time in an industry where the hourglass is on steroids, and without a major debut album to show for it, Los and Diddy soon severed their ties on a formal level. If the above statement is seen as an admission that Los couldn’t produce the radio-ready goods that Diddy desired, it could help explain why he languished on the shelf at Bad Boy. ”ĭiddy and King Los walk the red carpet, 2013 – Tommaso Boddi/WireImage/Getty Images ![]() It’s a gamble any time you play a record for him you might be totally in love with the record and he be like. “It’s not easy to play a record for him and he be, like, thoroughly impressed. “Puff kind of had an effect on the way I make music, because he is very critical and it made me just want to step my game up,” he informed AllHipHop. ![]() Yet even when it seemed as though he was getting out of the starting blocks, Los was candid about the issues he’d had with impressing his mentor. ![]() King Los with Red Cafe and Diddy at a Miami club, 2012 – Vallery Jean/WireImage/Getty ImagesĬoupled with the acclaim that Becoming King received, Los’ profile was further developed in that same year by his feature on French Montana’s “Ocho Cinco” and a star-making turn on Kid Ink’s “No Option.” Composed of all new beats from esteemed producers such as Harry Fraud and Sonny Digital, alongside a plethora of guest stars, the record felt like a real step forward towards the stature that Los had always threatened to assume. Los’ drive proved too unquenchable for him to simply accept his fate and within a few years, he was eventually granted a rare second chance when Diddy came calling again, this time in October of 2012.ĭescribed by Puff as one cog in “a whole new movement” for the Bad Boy label, alongside labelmates MGK, Red Cafe and French Montana, the release of 2013’s Becoming King mixtape suggested that the coronation was imminent. Going from, as he told Ebro in 2014, “ on the verge of being that dude,” back to the lower rungs of the game. Suddenly cast out into the cold, Los soon found himself back in Baltimore and received his first taste of the setbacks that can be hurled your way in the rap game. Los freestyles for 10 minutes straight for Diddy So by the time I got my record deal, things came full circle and kinda caught up with them and I ended up losing my deal due to some street stuff.” “But what happened was, coming from Baltimore, I was surrounded by people that I was doing an indie label with, before the Bad Boy deal, and they were connected to the streets. This was in 2006,” Los revealed back in 2014 when detailing where his first deal with Diddy went sour. I did a 10-minute freestyle and he signed me off of that 10-minute freestyle. It’s been viewed probably a couple million times by this point. A young Los was signed by Diddy way back in 2006, after the Baltimore MC blew the Bad Boy impresario away with a flawless marathon of a freestyle. “I did a 10-minute freestyle that’s actually legendary. King Los first hit Diddy’s radar when he auditioned for the second series of Making The Band, but then refused to sign the paperwork that’d secure his place. Instead, King Los has had several rebirths that have ultimately led to him occupying the same space in the game for almost his entire career. Saluted by Kendrick as the man who’d provided the most compelling response to “Control” and lauded as a better lyricist than Dot by Lupe Fiasco, all the building blocks appeared to be in place.īut somehow, someway, the stars never aligned for a rapper who could comfortably make devour any beat and deliver profound rhymes with ease. ![]() Having acquired sought-after features from Rick Ross, DMX, Chris Brown, Jazze Pha and Twista as an independent artist on tapes such as The Crown Ain’t Safe, the introduction of endless financial resources into the equation made it seem as though success was a foregone conclusion. Touted as one of the future greats by former label boss Diddy, Los’ prestige as a lyricist and artist on the precipice of widespread fame meant that the collabs on his mixtapes surpassed what some rising rappers often get on their debut major label releases. It’s perhaps this fact, that makes Los’ fate all the more bewildering. However, Los did not only have the skills, he had the address book and major label budget to match. As many a battle rapper would attest, lyrical acumen doesn’t always translate well into marketability or mainstream exposure it often takes a lot more than that to make it big.

Many videos are still getting millions of views, with some of the more outlandish posts including one of a student professing to have overwhelmed the school's internet service and another threatening to carjack the school's golf cart. However, most of the TikTok videos involving these recent licks include a sped-up version of rapper Lil B's song "Ski Ski Basedgod." "Licks" refer to thefts or robbery you might be familiar with the phrase from the 2019 song "Momma I Hit A Lick," by 2 Chainz with Kendrick Lamar. However, several other popular searches remained on the site Wednesday including "devious trend," "deviouslics," and "the biggest licks of the school year." "We expect our community to stay safe and create responsibly, and we do not allow content that promotes or enables criminal activities," TikTok's statement said. ![]() That hashtag is no longer found in searches on TikTok, which told USA TODAY in a statement it was "removing this content and redirecting hashtags and search results to our Community Guidelines to discourage such behavior." Since then, TikTokers in high schools and colleges began posting similar videos of their heists. As of Monday, the hashtag #deviouslick had gotten more than 175 million views, according to Mashable. ![]() The "devious licks" trend got its start earlier this month, according to the Know Your Meme site, when a TikTok user posted a video of themself stealing disposable masks with the caption "a month into school absolutely devious lick. TikTok has been known to unleash trends as varied as the "milk crate challenge" and, most recently, a less harmful one of eating Rice Krispies before working out. They toss the tests on a pile of dozens of more tests and then opens a drawer to show more tests. "We have seen some of this … recently and ask for your support in helping make sure our students are not engaging in this unacceptable behavior," Falls Church (Va.) High School principal Ben Nowak said in a note to parents.īeyond the potential film projector heist, among the other crazier videos is one posted a week ago with 4.6 million views so far, in which a TikTok user states, "I won this trend," and unzips a backpack and pulls out a cache of COVID-19 self-administered rapid antigen tests they supposedly have stolen. Social media study: TikTok, livestreaming, and 'creator economy' quickly changing social apps landscapeįairfax County Public Schools, in northern Virginia near Washington, D.C., sent out a notice this week to parents asking them to dissuade their children from engaging in the trend. School administrators have begun denouncing the trend, calling it vandalism and theft. The Coachella Valley (Calif.) Unified School District, east of Los Angeles, has issued an "urgent announcement" on Facebook to dissuade "a TikTok challenge going viral that is affecting school campuses across the nation." Restrooms are primary targets for disciples of this "devious licks" craze as mirrors, sinks, urinals, ceiling tiles and toilet stall doors and dividers are among prizes being stolen and displayed in videos on the social video site. Now, there's a crazy trend being fueled by and apparently chronicled on TikTok: stealing school supplies – everything from soap dispensers and toilets to computers and film projectors, as well as other school equipment. The beginning of this school year already had enough angst with the fight over mask mandates amid COVID outbreaks. ![]() Stealing trends are on the rise on TikTok, with a trend where users steal the head off of a LeBron James action figure also going viral just in July," Hamilton said.Watch Video: Viral art teacher shows off unique portrait to his students "Countless devious licks videos have millions and millions of views, and while some are obviously jokes, others are not so clear at all. TikTok said it can't comment on specific accounts.Ĭopycats soon sprung up, racking up millions of views, including one user who garnered 2.6 million views for posting a microscope as his "devious lick." Phillip Hamilton, an editor at Know Your Meme, told NBC News that he's not surprised the trend was banned after its rapid growth led to others attempting to film their own devious licks. Those two accounts, and their "devious licks" videos, appear to have been removed as of Wednesday. ![]() That video reportedly earned 7.2 million views. Days after posted his video, another user, posted a video showing that he had allegedly stolen a hand sanitizer dispenser, according to Know Your Meme. ![]() The shamrock is the leaf of the clover plant and a symbol of the Holy Trinity. The most common St Patrick's Day symbol is the shamrock. However, much of the interest in the St Patrick’s Day events is largely commercially driven in the 21st century. Many Irish customs, including the St Patrick’s Day celebrations, became quite popular in these countries. Many immigrants from Ireland fled to other parts of the world, including Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States, in the 19th and 20th centuries. Many Catholic churches traditionally move St Patrick's Day to another date if March 17 falls during Holy Week. Luke Wadding, a Franciscan scholar born in 1588 in Waterford, on the south coast of Ireland, was influential in ensuring that the anniversary of St Patrick's death became a feast day in the Catholic Church. Ireland’s other patron saints are St Brigid and St Columba. He is said to be buried under Down Cathedral in Downpatrick, Ireland. The "snakes" that St Patrick banished from Ireland, may refer to the druids or pagan worshipers of snake or serpent gods. However, it is thought that there have been no snakes in Ireland since the last ice age. ![]() He later returned to Ireland as a missionary and worked in the north and west of the country.Īccording to popular legend, St Patrick rid Ireland of snakes. After some years he returned to his family and entered the church, like his father and grandfather before him. He grew up in Roman Britain, but was captured by Irish raiders and taken to Ireland as a slave when he was a young adult. ![]() He is said to have died on March 17 in or around the year 493. St Patrick is one of the patron saints of Ireland. Therefore traffic and parking may be temporarily affected in streets and public areas where parades are held in towns and cities. St Patrick’s Day is also a festive occasion in some parts of the world where it is not a public holiday. St Patrick's Day is a bank holiday in Northern Ireland ( United Kingdom) and the Republic of Ireland. ![]() It is on Station Island in Lough Derg in County Donegal where St Patrick had a vision promising that all who came to the sanctuary in penitence and faith would receive a pardon for their sins. Some people plan a pilgrimage to St Patrick’s Purgatory, which is commonly associated with penance and spiritual healing since the early 13th century.
![]() So if I can’t find any Trek connection, I’m going to go with the late Mr. “He enjoyed playing euchre, listening to blue grass music, dancing, and most of all, having family gatherings.” He had 7 children, 25 grandchildren, 7 step-grandchildren, 57 great-grandchildren, 14 step-great-grandchildren, and 23 great-great-grandchildren. ![]() His obituary says that he was married to his wife Vivian for 77 years. It did get me an obituary for a man from Indiana, who certainly seemed to have had a great life. My Google search for Raphael DuPont and Star Trek turned up nothing relevant. The only “DuPont” character I could find is from a TNG comic, and as far as I can tell, he’s got nothing at all to do with Section 31. The rumor is that he’s a character in the Kelvin comics, like T’Laan, Chen, etc., but I haven’t read the comic books, and I can’t find anything about him on Memory Beta. Convert documents to beautiful publications and share them worldwide. So as this gets promoted up to 300%, you’re going to have ships that will go all day without going OP. Publishing platform for digital magazines, interactive publications and online catalogs. So it’s only a 10k boost to protected cargo… for now. Now keep in mind that my DuPont hasn’t been promoted yet. So then I put Joaquin as captain, with DuPont and T’Pring on there. So now I’ve added Jaoquin as captain, and T’Pring, and you can see that my protected cargo more than doubles. If you were looking to put out a miner overnight (at your own risk,) or while the day while you’re working and had T’Pring, DuPont, and Joaquin (or One of Ten) as your crew, you could massively increase your protected cargo.įor example, here’s my Antares without them. Officer Abilityĥ0%, 100%, 150%, 200%, 300% to the ship’s protected cargoĪgain, you can never have enough protected cargo, so DuPont is going to greatly increase the amount you can mine without going over. He will give you almost as good a bonus as Stonn, T’Pring or Barot – just 5% less. If you’re looking to mine a lot of one raw material, this lets you crew a second ship. So think of DuPont as a second G3 miner here. Grade III Miner – Raphael DuPont increases the rate of G3 Crystal, Gas and Ore Mining by 40% In order to fully max him out, you’ll need 16,500 Federation Credits and 3 engineering badges Captain’s Maneuver Of course, for the game, this just matters for the purposes of synergy. ![]() Don’t let his appearance fool you, he’s not in Section 31. Think of DuPont as a more versatile T’Pring. I'd rather just farm in real space, not spend hours chasing an unreliable spawn on the Ferengis.Raphael DuPont is a rare engineering officer in the Surveyors and Miners crew in Star Trek Fleet Command. Who cares? You get a slightly better mining rate and apparently you won't be hassled if you go OPL. It's the worst chore in this game, farming Borg Probes until your hull is gone.Īnd sure, you occasionally get access to some token-gated systems. They're always snarking at me, reminding me I'm leaving nanoprobes on the table. A third of the time guess what they yield: More Warp tokens. I mean sure, you can expend hours waiting for Assimilated Ferengis to spawn, but who cares? The Latinum Antiques aren't all that valuable. Now, the larger issue is there's very little reason to bother. When you see one, warp over, kill it, and then burn through the rest of your hull farming whatever's available. Look around for the surveyor icon accompanying an Assimilated Ferengi ship. Arentar, for example, connects to all three of the new Borg systems in ROM space. ![]() Travel to a hub system that connects several Borg systems. If you must hunt them, this is your best approach: Turn this on immediately of you haven't yet, it will allow you to zoom much further out on a system, and you'll be able to check the who thing for traders in just a second or two Another tip is in your game settings menu actually, there's an option for something I believe is called "enhanced zoom" or something like that. Aldila tour atx 65 3.3 x, Star trek fleet command how to get latinum, Aggravate rosacea. When i came back a few hours later there was another one in the same system. Star trek inconsistencies, 5 week rotating shift schedule. I had one time where I hit a trader and then had to log off quickly. Don't give up though! I guarantee if you keep looking at the right times you will find one after not too long. You may get lucky right away, but you also may not see any for so long that you're convinced it's impossible. It's not a given, but I can say that all but one of the traders I got were very early in the morning (4:00am my time), since I'd pop on quick before heading to work. One more suggestion that other people haven't mentioned: Try to occasionally log in during the hours where your server is mostly empty, like very early in the morning. |
