Of the “HYFR” video, Director X has acknowledged that it was fun for him to make a video that breaks some cultural taboos. Take this video, for example, which parodies Wiz Khalifa’s “Black and Yellow” and made its way around the Internet last year. Drake’s video is only the latest to capitalize on the increasingly complex identities of blacks and Jews to make light-hearted videos and crack jokes about culture.

Acknowledging Rick Rubin, an influential record producer and the co-president of Columbia Records with a simple “You crazy for this one Rick,” he had everyone wondering who exactly it was that heavily bearded man riding around in his car for the “99 Problems” video. Jay-Z was one of the first to place a visual emphasis on one of the Jews that had previously been contributing to his music from behind the scenes. ![]() ![]() Historically, Jews have more been acknowledged for their behind-the-scenes roles bankrolling hip hop as record execs, supporting rappers as lawyers, and of course providing the ever-crucial chains and jewelry pieces, with enough shout-outs from rappers to make “Jacob the Jeweler” a household name. WATCH THE BEASTIE BOYS’ CLASSIC MUSIC VIDEO: ‘SABOTAGE’īut with a few exceptions like the Beastie Boys, Jews are relatively new to the hip-hop spotlight. Combined with the majority black demographic of hip-hop listeners in the ‘90’s, the fact that they were white made them outsiders enough. But it was also a secondary factor in their otherness they came up at a time when rap had long been virtually synonymous with the black American experience. It’s not that Jews are necessarily new to hip-hop: the Beastie Boys, for example, hold an important place in hip-hop history, and their Judaism was never a secret (“I’m a funky a** Jew and I’m on my way”). ![]()

![]() I’d always rated it lowly as I do currently, but never would I deny how genuinely I adored it despite its countless flaws, lacks, and offenses. No matter how little sense it all made, I truly did come to love Fairy Tail and the cast of characters therein. Just hearing Natsu and Lucy autistically screaming about the power of friendship ad nauseam was enough to lift my spirits, no matter how hollow those feelings were. Watching something so vapid and kiddish began by simply making me feel even dumber and even lonelier by getting into a show aimed at an audience nearly half my age, but after getting along with my streak of nihilism at the time, it soon became my single favorite show ever made, seriously. I can’t ride on nostalgia and fond memories I don’t have, but I can ride on lies.įairy Tail came and settled into my life of extreme clinical depression and violent self-harming, intently suicidal tendencies in a roller coaster of fashions. I’m seasoned enough for even the rose tinted glasses of nostalgia to loose their effects, since a good ninety percent of anime I can remember watching with few late 90s exceptions the likes of Outlaw Star and Cowboy Bebop rerunning on TV have been viewed through my eyes as they are now. Newest generation of children growing up with anime have faces like My Hero Academia and Mob Psycho 100 to grow up with themselves. Many within this community of young people have grown up with anime and can reminisce about shows like Naruto, One Piece, or Bleach which have been influential for as long as they can remember, teenagers on the older side can still remember their own era’s shows like Pokemon or Dragon Ball, and now the The vast majority of the western anime community is made up of kids, teenagers, and college kids, and as the medium becomes more and more mainstream, that bell curve keeps centering around lower and lower ages.

Retailers bank on PC games for a steady source of income might just have to consider other alternatives.Ī lot of retailers are shocked with the price and are confident that it won’t sell. That’s double what the uber-popular FIFA franchise did before EA jacked up the price in 2013, so if GTA V approaches that kind of performance, it could really affect other triple-A prices. According to people in the distribution network, Grand Theft Auto IV sold close to 50,000 copies on PC in the first month in India. ![]() Publishers will figure: if people can pony up for the adventures of Michael, Franklin, and Trevor, they’ll do just the same for Batman and Geralt. If GTA V sells even remotely well at INR 2499, it may result in a price increase from every other publisher in the country. If other publishers looked at EA and then raised prices, every PC game for India after September 2013 would have been poorly-priced. While it would be easy to blame EA for this rise in pricing, the fact is, it is not the company’s fault. (See: You won’t be able to buy EA PC games on disc in India anymore) This year, the publisher’s not even selling its PC games on disc in the country. EA stuck to its guns and didn’t sell much of anything. This resulted in a slew of angry Indian consumers taking to the internet to voice their discontent. ![]() In no small part thanks to Australian consumers finding a way to bypass Origin to get a better deal on Simcity V with Indian prices. Those who didn’t, like Electronic Arts, ended up hiking prices. Eventually, better sense prevailed and publishers region-locked their games. Customers like myself would be questioned at certain store counters if purchased more than two copies of a game on PC like Company of Heroes 2. Some of them welcomed this additional business, while others tried cracking down on it. It reached a point where customers would wonder why games weren’t on the shelves and distributors would question why small, hole-in-the-wall stores with next to no foot traffic were ordering humongous quantities of PC games.

Bethesda and Activision Blizzard continued pricing their games on par with, if not higher than, their prices globally. The low price point for GTA IV allowed distributors some bargaining power with publishers for subsequent game releases, arguing that if they want their games to have a chance of selling, the price had to be low. In those days, you could get The Sims 3, Batman: Arkham Asylum, and Borderlands at launch on PC for a grand total of INR 2997 (around $50). And it set a tone for a generation of cheaply-priced games. You see, when GTA IV released on PC in December 2008, India had it at INR 499 ($8). $41) it’s a shade lower than what US gamers have to pay, what with Gamestop listing it at $59.99, but it’s still steep compared to other triple-A games in India.

When the player breaks these crates, Wumpa Fruit will be added to the counter. These weapons can be upgraded by smashing into a certain crates, giving you "Wumpa Fruit". When the race starts, the player can obtain items by running into crates and the items randomize depending on what position the player is in (ex: being in 1st place usually means the player will get a very weak item, such as a TNT, but say in 8th place, a much more effective weapon is obtained, such as an Aku Aku mask).

Brands need to take note of Netflix’s success, and ensure that every aspect of the user’s experience is fluid regardless of their rate of device switching.

For instance, when Netflix users pause a show on their phones, and then open the Netflix app on their Roku, the show will start from the same place in which it was paused on the phone.
