![]() city” and one track on Glasper’s own Black Radio 2. Singer Paulette McWilliams on Her Years With Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, and Steely DanĬrossover jazz pianist Robert Glasper - whose Black Radio, an album featuring verses from Yasiin Bey, Erykah Badu and To Pimp a Butterfly collaborator Bilal, earned a 2013 R&B Grammy nomination - lays down hyperactive keys on this “interlude,” while Terrace Martin, himself the son of a jazz drummer, handles production, just as he did for Kurupt’s Streetlights, Kendrick’s “m.A.A.d. Dre, in which he offers wisdom to Lamar on the fact that it’s easy to get success but more difficult to maintain it, a topic addressed in Lamar’s verses. But the track’s biggest cameo comes in the form of a voice message from Dr. Clinton had been suggested as a collaborator by Flying Lotus, who produced “Wesley’s Theory” and additionally brought in bassist Thundercat, best known for his work alongside Lotus. The track also includes an appearance by Rock & Roll Hall of Famer George Clinton, whose group Parliament Lamar mentioned by name as an inspiration in his RS interview. With the song and film, Lockhart and Gardiner aimed to turn the meaning of “nigger” around, destroying its negative connotations. The album’s first song plays that out, opening with a sample from Boris Gardiner’s cheery manifesto of black pride “ Every Nigger Is a Star” off the soundtrack of the 1974 Calvin Lockhart-directed blaxploitation film of the same name. In his interview with Rolling Stone, Lamar reveals how influential Seventies funk was on To Pimp a Butterfly‘s sound. ![]() (The tweet has since been deleted.)įans, however, are enjoying the early release - a 16-song set that Lamar describes as “honest, fearful and unapologetic” in the cover story of the new issue of Rolling Stone. The appearance of Kendrick Lamar’s highly anticipated new album, To Pimp a Butterfly, on iTunes and Spotify Sunday night - more than a week before its scheduled March 23rd release date - apparently falls in the latter category. “Somebody’s gots 2 pay 4 this mistake,” Anthony Tiffith, the head of Lamar’s record label, Top Dawg Entertainment, tweeted in response. They are one in the same.There are surprise releases and there are accidental releases. I know the caterpillar and the butterfly are different. Finally free, the butterfly sheds light on situations that the caterpillar never considered, ending a lifetime of struggle. Such as ‘goin home and bringing back new concepts to this Maad City.’ The result: wings begin to emerge, breaking the cycle of feeling stagnant. While trapped inside these walls certain ideas take root. He can no longer see past his own thoughts, he’s trapped. Already surrounded by this Maad City, the caterpillar goes to work on the cocoon which institutionalizes him. But having a harsh outlook on life, the caterpillar sees the butterfly as weak and figures out a way to pimp it to its own benefits. The butterfly represents the talent, the thoughtfulness and the beauty within the caterpillar. ![]() ![]() One thing it notices is how much the world shuns him but praises the butterfly While consuming its environment, the caterpillar begins to notice ways to survive. It’s only job is to eat or consume everything around it in order to protect itself from this Maad City. “ Kendrick Lamar: The caterpillar is a prisoner to the streets that conceived it. On the album’s very last track, “Mortal Man,” the rapper mentally interviews ‘Pac and then offers up a poem (penned by a close friend) that best describes his album. His daughter Zoe was reintroduced as his presumed only child. Rebirthįollowing Rebirth, the events leading to Deadshot's arrest and imprisonment were retconned to their current status. Following an attempted hit on a senator that was interrupted by Batman he was sent to Belle Reve, where he was asked to join the Suicide Squad. He had only one known child, Suchin his son Edward and daughter Zoe were erased from continuity. Much of his original Modern Age backstory was reintroduced as his true origin, though with some minor alterations, and his family was reintroduced to canon. This origin was later retconned as having been a lie on his part. Vowing to seek revenge and to never waste a bullet, he began training as a sharpshooter. He was orphaned as a child when stray bullets from nearby gang violence flew through his house, killing his parents and sister but leaving him remarkably untouched. The New 52 introduced Deadshot's massively rewritten backstory, in which he was the son of poor parents, raised in Gotham's Narrows. He had no known association with the military or Kobra. He had two children, Edward, who was murdered, and Zoe. This version of the character also introduced his death wish, typically manifested as unconcern as to whether he will live or die. Just as he took the shot the branch broke, sending his shot astray and accidentally killing the brother he loved to save the father he hated. Escaping, Floyd climbed a tree with a rifle, planning to shoot the gun from his brother's hand. Edward agreed while Floyd resisted, so Edward locked Floyd in the boathouse and went to kill their father himself. ![]() When they were teenagers their mother Genevieve asked them to kill their abusive father. He idolized his elder brother, Edward, although he lived in his shadow. ![]() Floyd Lawton was the younger son of an unhappy and abusive wealthy family. The Modern Age introduced his expanded origin and psychology. The character remained relatively undeveloped through subsequent ages. In his initial Golden Age appearances very little was known about Deadshot or his origins. He was rebooted for the New 52 by Adam Glass and Federico Dallocchio. ![]() The character was significantly expanded upon by John Ostrander and Luke McDonnell. He made his first appearance in Batman #59. ![]() Creationĭeadshot was created by David Vern Reed and Lew Sayre Schwartz. He was ultimately sent to Belle Reve, where he was invited to join the Suicide Squad. Deadshot killed a man who was directly threatening his daughter's life, and allowed himself to be arrested by Batman. As an adult he joined the Marines and spent some time with the League of Assassins before seeking independent employment as a mercenary and assassin.Īfter his daughter was kidnapped by agents of Kobra in an effort to force him to perform work for them, Deadshot sought the assistance of Batman, who agreed to assist provided Deadshot did not kill anyone during the rescue. Keeping that second promise, he began training as a sharpshooter. Floyd made two promises to himself that night: When he becomes an adult, he will kill his father next time he gets a chance, and to never again miss a shot. He climbed a tree with a rifle, but somehow his aim went astray and he accidentally killed his brother instead. When he was a teenager his mother Genevieve convinced Floyd to try to kill his abusive father. The younger son of a wealthy couple who hated each other, Floyd Lawton idolized his elder brother, Edward, although he lived in his shadow. ![]() As a result of which most browsers like Chrome block its plugin by default.

![]() It’s the sort of positive character change the show has executed well, even in the margins of the story. But she did finally speak her truth, engage with her fathers on the topic, and in the finale reveal that she now has a girlfriend. While things between her and Zach didn’t end so well, they did have a real connection that summer.Ĭourtney (Michele Selene Ang) comes out: The deeply conflicted girl who covered her kiss with Hannah by contributing to the rumors of Hannah’s promiscuity didn’t have a ton of screentime over the course of Season 2. The reveal of Hannah and Zach’s relationship: One of the biggest surprises of the season was learning that we didn’t know everything about Hannah, including the truth of how she lost her virginity, which was depicted in Episode 6, “The Smile at the End of the Dock.” As told by Zach, their secret love story was full of cute and touching moments, and while so much of Season 1 was about the destructive relationships in Hannah’s life, seeing that Hannah did have some share of happiness before she died was deeply affecting. Alex manages to be one of the season’s most empathetic characters as a result. His attempts to recover physically from his injury include a great deal of nuance as to what real head wound victims contend with. Watching Jessica go to therapy and attempt to move on made for one of the most emotionally effective threads of the season, one that deserves a lot of acclaim for acknowledging that recovery from a trauma like this takes real time.Īlex’s road to recovery: Alex’s (Miles Heizer) suicide attempt at the end of Season 1 meant that Season 2 included another story of recovery, one that hasn’t been too often portrayed on television before. Jessica (Alisha Boe) copes with her sexual assault: Anchored by an impressive performance by Boe, a major lynchpin of Season 2 is Jessica’s journey to recovery, one that the show treats with great sensitivity. Below, we dig into what worked best and what didn’t in the show’s return. Sometimes, the show made good choices in this regard. There’s no denying that “ 13 Reasons Why” is a divisive show, especially with its second season, as showrunner Brian Yorkey extended the narrative beyond the story of teenage Hannah Baker (Katherine Langford), following her death by suicide.ĭigging further into the aftermath of Hannah’s death, especially its impact on her friends, family, and school community, the season doesn’t pull its punches on examining past tragedies and inflicting new ones on its characters. ![]() Microsoft Access database engine 2016 (English).

![]() ![]() There are exceptions (V-SYNC OFF and uncapped with framerates far higher than the refresh rate, etc.), but that's for another conversation. I didn't include it in my G-SYNC 101 series because it was beyond both the scope of the subject and my testing parameters (not directly related to syncing methods). However, with a limiter, as long as the framerate is being limited by it, the engine know exactly when the next frame is needed/what frametime can be sustained, and delay is decreased the pre-rendered frame queue/settings no longer applies/matters is this scenario. It has to do with how the game's engine calculates the render time of the frame with uncapped, an ever fluctuating framerate means the engine must calculate a different frametime (sometimes much higher, sometime much lower) for each frame before it begins rendering the pre-rendered frame queue/settings applies in this scenario. RTSS introduces more latency when compared to the in-game limiter, as it sets a frametime target (in-game sets a framerate target, and thus can still utilize lower frametimes to deliver frames faster), but even it reduces latency of uncapped at the same framerate. As long as it is the framerate's limiting factor, an in-game limiter actually reduces latency over uncapped at the same framerate (at least if we're talking within the refresh rate), regardless of G-SYNC. ![]()
