![]() ![]() That's the reason why Adele's worst-reviewed album was also her highest-selling, and the reason why Eminem is still one of the best-selling rappers in the country despite peaking over a decade ago. That's not necessarily momentum though- that's pop stardom. In hip hop, like in sports, momentum is a pretty palpable force.Īll of Drake's pre-album singles were big events online ("Controlla," "Pop Style," and "One Dance" are easily the most-viewed songs on HNHH in the past few months), and it's looking like "One Dance" will even be The Boy's first number one single in the US. Whether you chalk it up to short attention spans, the fact that he sounded like he was playing catch-up to Future on the mixtape, or music fans' need for narratives and arcs, you could tell he'd be in a precarious position when it came time to release his next album. What A Time To Be Alive was still warmly received, but even then, a few weeks after "Hotline Bling" hit the radio, you could feel the wheels of Drizzy's hype starting to slow just slightly. Drake's trajectory hit a definite peak last year with the impeccably-curated If You're Reading This It's Too Late, his triumphant Meek Mill beef, OVO Sound Radio, and "Hotline Bling"- regardless of where you think all that music ranks in his overall discography, it catapulted him to the top dog position he'd been gunning for his whole career. It felt like the hot takes on VIEWS started coming in before the album even dropped. Though there are a few more cringeworthy lyrics and a bit less cohesion than usual for Drake, "VIEWS" is still an album that only he could make. As it stands, "VIEWS" is a characteristically detailed and well-orchestrated piece of music, but only time will tell if its a gesture towards a necessary sea change. Historically, Drake has skipped a step when it comes to his more groundbreaking work ("So Far Gone," "Take Care," "IYRTITL"), but the material in between remains essential to his narrative. In some ways, it feels like a missed opportunity to be the "Summer in Toronto" to IYRTITL's winter, simply nodding toward the colorful sounds of his city's overwhelming multiculturalism where it could have fully embraced them. ![]() The transitional material on "VIEWS" comes with the inclusion of sunny, dancehall-inflected records like "Controlla" and "One Dance," but at its core, like NWTS, is the familiar, murky R&B-infused territory we've come to expect from Drake in album mode. It was also a transitional project, hinting at the mean-mugged iciness we'd later hear on "IYRTITL" with surprisingly aggressive numbers like "Worst Behaviour". "VIEWS" has a lot in common with "Nothing Was The Same" - a project which in many ways was Drake and 40's first attempt at making "a Drake album," looking back at their prior work and trying to capture the feeling listeners came to their music for. "VIEWS" has been getting some criticism for being "just a Drake album," which is not entirely incorrect, but it's not the first time he's approached a project in such a way. ![]()

These new images are imported directly into Rhino where even the smallest nuance is both clearly visible and easily captured. The client receives the images, adds a layer with his or her comments, and e-mails it back. Again, Photoshop is the tool that keeps the process moving. These images are e-mailed to the client for review and marked up if necessary. This is the original control art sent to theconsultant by Hotwheels designer Alec Tam.Īs the 3D model progresses, screenshot images are generated from Rhino in ortho and perspective views.

![]() ![]() Pompeius, coming back from Hispania, will crush the last band in Northern Italy and will claim the whole glory of the wars which had nevertheless been won by Crassus. Spartacus will fall among his breathens in the midst of a battle, and his body will never be found. This was the start of an epic that would see Rome tremble for three year, and the full mobilization of all the forces of the republic was required in the end to crush that mortal peril! After having set Italy ablaze, the slaves armies were finally beaten by the wealthy and ambitious Crassus, at the cost of thousands of deaths and executions. Alea Jacta Est is the first historical strategy game on the PC to cover the main Roman civil wars, created by a dedicated team of experts to bring the epic battles that pitted Romans against Romans in conflicts such as those between Rome, Sertorius, and Mithridates. Upon hearing the news, thousands of slaves, shepherds and poor people join Spartacus' ranks. Using wild vine plants to cross the cliffs, the gladiators take their opponent by surprise and send them routing. Having taken refuge on the slope of the Vesuvius, they were besieged there by the troops of Praetor Glaber. From the ludus (gladiator school) of a so-called Lentulus Batiatus in Capua, the Thracian Spartacus leads his fellow men into escape, carrying brands with which they put the local militia to flight. But in 73BC, no one could envision that the small light ignited by the escape of a few Capuan gladiators would turn all of Italy aflame. In 133 and 101 BC, two revolts had degenerated in large servile wars in Sicily, and took years to be crushed. Whereas a few slaves, usually employed at home, could become freedmen after earning their liberty from their masters, the great majority could envision no hope and were badly treated. As for the thousands of slaves, they replace the former free workers as laborers for all the hardest tasks, in the mines, careers and Latifundias, the large estates of the rich Roman citizens, usually in Southern Italy and Sicily. This proletariat will be the base on which ambitious and demagogic politicians will play, offering 'bread and games', to make them their clients against the Senate.
