Eternal Atake: The Verdict - Bektur

It's finally here! Eternal Atake, the highly anticpated album by Lil Uzi Vert. This album was first mention in 2018, a year after his last album Luv is Rage 2, and has been postponed time and time again. But not now. 2 years later and we finally have the fruit of our patient waiting. Well, it wasn't exactly patient. One of the reasons this album was postponed this much was because fans have leaked a staggering amount of songs that probably would've been on the album. And Uzi had to make new songs, because, who would want to release something that people have already heard? Combine that with record troubles, and you can start to understand why there was such a long wait. But with any long wait, the question always arises, was it worth it?

The answer is yes. For me at least. Originally I really disliked the album, and was just dissapointed, but overtime with each re-listen, everything started to grow on me and before long, my head was bobbing with almost each song. Eternal Atake in general has a shift in style from his usual melodic, almost sing rapping, to a more fast paced flow, focused on bars, still with some melody though. A lot of the beats on these different songs are also trappier and darker than his usual songs, which goes along with his faster flow well. Examples of a faster flow and/or darker beat include You Better Move, Silly Watch, POP, Homecoming and Lo Mein. Of course he still has his melodic style, but it was just cool to hear him speed it up, which I thought he couldn't really do before.
Here is my ranking of all the songs:
1.Prices
2.Venetia                                                              ( I have a hard time ranking songs, so they all
3.Silly Watch                                                         probably could be interchanged with the song next
4.Celebration Station                                                to them)
5. Secure the Bag
6.Homecoming
7.Baby Pluto
8.Bust Me
9.POP
10.Futsal Shuffle
11.That Way
12.P2
13.Urgency
14.I'm Sorry
---------------------------------------------- Playlist Cutoff
15.You Better Move
16.Lo Mein
17.Bigger Than Life
18. Chrome Heart Tags

So overall, a really good album. But wait, there's more! Lil Uzi said in a tweet that he only dropped one half of Eternal Atake and named a bunch of leaks that would finally see the light of day in the deluxe version. And as I'm writing this, he said he would drop the deluxe today! 14 more songs, with a list of features, which is one of the things I thought was missing in Eternal Atake. The album is definitely going to hit no. 1. Definitely.

Ancient Greek Heroes VS. Modern Day Heroes

-
Image
Heroes in Greek/Anglo-Saxon (I am grouping the types of historical literature we have read) writing are very obvious and much of ancient Greek literature involves a central hero or a supernatural story. In modern day English, however, the plots are less often mythical and more realistic. Since each person has a different definition for heroism, modern day heroism literature can be more varied. Ancient Greek writing is very often far-fetched, however. There are many similarities and differences between the two types of writing, but first I will run through the most significant differences. In Greek mythology, heroes were often religious figures, like demigods, while modern day writing focuses more on ordinary people. This could be because authors nowadays want the readers to be able to relate with the heroes in their stories. Greek writing had heroes that had the power to protect or destroy the people depending on prevailing circumstances. In contrast, modern day heroes are acknowledg...

My Brother by Elizabeth Hailey DeGasperis

          When I contemplate what is most important in my life, my mind is drawn to my 21-year-old brother, Tom. There are not enough words in the English language I could use to describe what he means to me. I cannot imagine the past fifteen years of my life without him. Allow me to start from the beginning.           Even when I was an infant, he never failed to take me out of my crib, strap me in my high chair, and cook scrambled eggs for us (at the tender age of six). He did this so my mother could catch up on sleep in the mornings and take care of me however he could. I only wish I could return the favour in some way. Though we have always been tight, we used to fight frequently as all siblings do. As immature children, we viewed every ordeal as monumental. The apocalypse would occur if either of us decided to give the other access to the TV remote or the pogo sticks for five minutes. However, we would always make-up in the end and...

Not Fate, Just a Coincidence - Sila Paniker

The idea of fate confuses me. I don't really understand how something will happen no matter what you do. It just seems very unlikely. I think we're constantly making choices that lead to occurrences. We make so many decisions a day that it seems impossible that fate can find a way around it all.  Awhile ago, I saw something called the Butterfly Effect, which doesn't exactly relate to fate but it makes sense to me. The idea is that a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a tornado on the other side of the world. Essentially, small changes can have large impacts. In my head, this connects with the thousands of tiny decisions we subconsciously make each day. There are people I've met or things that have happened and it feels like it was meant to be but they're just a bunch of coincidences that had the ability to change everything. Thinking about it, there are reasons that can explain everything. For example, I met one of my closest friends a few years ago a...
