Already A Classic: Donald Glover Compares ‘Atlanta’ Season 3 To Kanye West’s ‘Graduation’

Source: Prince Williams / Getty Hopes are already sky high for the next season of Atlanta , even though news just broke recently that the fan favorite was renewed. It seems impossible for something with this much hype to garner even more anticipation, but Donald Glover managed to make that happen with some recent statements on what season 3 has in store. The creator and star of the series spoke about his creative process during an Emmys For Your Consideration screening. According to reports from  Indiewire , Glover commented on the behind-the-scenes creativity of the series during a panel saying, “I align the seasons I think, to me, like Kanye records…I feel like this is our Graduation . This is probably our most accessible but also the realest — an honest version of it — and I feel like the most enjoyable, like the third album.” Gambino continued on to say, “We were all on iMessage together and kind of talking about it, and I think people were really hungry to like beat ourselves, which is great.” So there you have it–even today, Graduation remains many fans’ favorite Kanye album, and it’s most definitely the project that garnered the most positive reception and mainstream radio play. With season 2 of Atlanta being a lot darker than its predecessor, we now know they’ll be making more of a crowd-pleaser with season 3. Atlanta just recently wrapped up its previous season in May, and there is still no word on when fans can expect it return to the small screen–but there has been confirmation that it will come back faster than we got the second season. Good news all around.

Can Atlanta Get Hit By A Hurricane?

Source: Planet Observer / Getty Hurricane season officially began June 1 and will be here to stay until Nov. 30. As we descend into a super-hot summer, we have so far experienced some super heavy downpours, but can Atlanta get hit by a hurricane ? According to GEMA the answer is yes. The Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico pose as a natural threat to Georgia during these months, as they provide the prime conditions for hurricanes to develop. When warm moist air rises cold low-pressure systems begin to develop underneath. This causes the high-pressure air systems surrounding the original system to be drawn in as and rise up to the surface. Eventually things begin to swirl about and boom you have the perfect storm. Warm waters along the equator make ideal conditions for hurricanes to develop. Related:  How Many Streets In Atlanta Are Named Peachtree? There is no doubt the United States’ coastline is completely prone to being hit by hurricanes, and even though the city of Atlanta is landlocked the state of Georgia is not. Most of the time hurricanes tend to hit areas like Miami and New Orleans often leaving a line of destruction behind them, but on the contrary Atlanta has experienced hurricanes before. In 1995 Hurricane Opal hit Atlanta early October leaving thousands of people powerless for days. Fallen trees and powerlines covered the city as it remained closed for clean-up leaving businesses shut down. Source: Marilyn Nieves / Getty However, we haven’t necessarily had a hurricane hit us directly like Hurricane Opal , we have certainly felt the effects of hurricanes recently. When Hurricane Nate made landfall, the entire region experienced nothing but rain and strong winds for the next following days which of course caused down powerlines which meant power outages. Hurricane Irma’s effects left a similar mark with some power outages lasting so long local school systems modified their school calendar to make up for the missed day. Predicting hurricanes is not a simple task, but in Atlanta’s outlook hurricanes may not be such a direct threat for us, but we should never let our guard down when tracking these intense storms. Mother Nature is always in control and we never truly know when that perfect storm is going to be headed our way, so stay alert this hurricane season and don’t get caught in the rain!

HAUTE OR NAUGHT: Would You Ever Get Micro-Freckles?

Microblading one’s eyebrows have become the perfect solution to not having to fill in your brows every day. Uneven brows? Microblading to the rescue! So what happens when you are a Black or Brown girl that wasn’t blessed with freckles but want to change your look? Yes, you guessed it, you can microblade freckles too! Bi-racial beauty, Meghan Markle is known for her freckles and apparently has led to beauties of all races to consider this semi-permanent trend. While, to our knoweldge, the Duchess’ freckles are 100% real…there are women paying to get them tattooed on their face. Source: Andrew Toth / Getty This treatment costs on average about $200 and results can last up to three years and even longer on your nose with no touch up (because the lack of fat in the area). They can take up to four months to completely heal. When you first get them done, they might look like they resemble blackheads (like the video above). However, they will lighten and fade. I didn't put on foundation or concealer so you can see my micro baby freckles. Probably not in the lighting tho pic.twitter.com/i9RA7BnPKC — Birthday Mami D.D.S. (@LOUD_besos) January 27, 2016 The internet was in a buzz about women tattooing freckles on their faces. Many judging the practice, while some Black women admitted to getting theirs done and it turning out fine. ppl is really doing anything! y’all paying for micro freckles?! Love y’all self wtf. Paying for all these unnatural alterations I just don’t get it — tierra navia (@tierranavia) June 11, 2018 People are really getting micro freckles to look like real life filters? Insecurities are running rampant I see. — Ms.Lovely (@AyeeMsLovely) June 11, 2018 If you getting micro freckles keep away from me clearly you hear the devils voice — The Audacity’s Nerve (@DapaDon) June 11, 2018 Everybody tagging me in the post on baller alert saying it’s my fault I did not put micro freckles on this girl I just reposted it…..I’ve been through this she’ll be ok. — PARI$ HEELTON (@ImTheBombDotCom) June 11, 2018 Personally, I would never do this; however, what I have done before is fantasy freckles . Their a fun (and colorful!) way to get a freckled look…without the permanancy. Aspiring YouTuber, Makayla , showed us how she did fake freckles for a realistic (and much less permanent) look. So even if you aren’t into the permanency, you can still get this trend. Beauties, we have to know. While some of our favorite Black women, including Sade and Nia Long both have natural freckles…would you be willing to get your face tattooed to get the look?

Janet Hubert Blames Will Smith For Her Son’s Attempted Suicide

Source: NBC / Getty   If you thought that Janet Hubert’s feud with former co-star Will Smith is over, you would be mistaken.  Apparently, the original Aunt Viv from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air took to social media last Friday to blame the actor for her son’s suicide attempt. In a now-deleted Tweet, Hubert sent off the following: Darksin Aunt Viv is still onn Facebook wylin about Will. She always has time but this is a bit much pic.twitter.com/A4G7FHbdzM — Angela Renay (@angie_goodwood) June 2, 2018 The details around what happened to her son are scarce, but fans on social media expressed their concerns for Hubert’s own mental state: *Janet Hubert falls off her bike while getting a morning ride in* Janet: Ouch!
