The Future of Rap Is Female As their male counterparts turn depressive and paranoid, it’s the women who are having all the fun. In the mid-’80s, the dynamics shifted slightly, when UTFO released “Roxanne, Roxanne,” a comical torch song dissing a woman who rejected the men’s advances. Like good sex, raunchy rap is only fun if all parties are completely enthusiastic, and this music provides necessary female perspectives to match what the men make. In Miami one weekend in late July, Rolling Loud, one of the biggest annual hip-hop festivals, made itself into a microcosm of the rap world. There’s a relentless gender pessimism in the air, too — on the street, on dating apps, in the Supreme Court and, of course, in rap music.

And one British scientist led the push Friday to incorporate bold new, tongue-twisting prefixes on the gigantic and even the minuscule scale. There’s the gargantuan “ronna” (that’s 27 zeros after the one) and its big brother the “quetta” — (that’s 30 zeros). Their ant-sized counterparts are the “ronto” (27 zeros after the decimal point), and the “quecto” (with 30 zeros after the decimal point) -- representing the smaller numbers needed for quantum science and particle physics. The conference, which takes place every four years in France, is the supreme authority of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. (We) need new words as things expand,” Brown said.

Cântărețul John Davis, una dintre vocile din spatele trupei Milli Vanilli, a murit la vârsta de 66 de ani, după ce a fost diagnosticat cu Covid-19, scrie BBC. John Davis a cântat pe albumul de succes din 1989 „Girl You Know It's True”. Fiica lui Davis, Jasmin, a cerut o „ultimă rundă de aplauze” pentru artist. „A făcut mulți oameni fericiți cu râsul și zâmbetul său, cu spiritul său fericit, dragostea și mai ales prin muzica sa”, a scris ea într-o postare pe Facebook, citată de Mediafax. Născut în Carolina de Sud, Davis s-a mutat în Germania și vocea sa a devenit cunoscută în întreaga lume sub masca Milli Vanilli, aceasta fiind ideea producătorului de discuri Frank Farian, care s-a ocupat și de Boney M.
