Three white rappers are dragging Halsey into their shenanigans for no reason. ”Įminem wraps up the song by confusingly claiming the day MGK puts out a hit is, “the day Diddy admits that he put the hit out that got Pac killed.” A few seconds later he tells Diddy, “I’m just playin’.” In an August freestyle with Funk Master Flex, MGK spit “Only Eazy I fuck with is E / I seen he died his hair and got a hanging earring / I fucked his girl, now he look like me this shit overbearing.” G-Eazy didn’t take kindly to the veiled shot and threw a couple of jabs Kelly’s way on “ Bad Boy. The line references Kelly’s other beef with fellow white rapper, G-Eazy. “You dance around it like a sombrero, we can all see / You’re fuckin’ salty ’cause young Gerald’s balls-deep inside of Halsey,” Em spits. Petrina Foti works in the Division of Medicine and Science at the National Museum of American History.Predictably, the track takes an unfortunate and disgusting turn when the 45-year-old rapper drags Halsey into the debacle. What about you? Do you have any Pac-Man related memories? Did you have any Pac-Man merchandise growing-up? Do you still have the theme music stuck in your head too? We also have over forty items of Pac-Man ephemera, including a gumball bank, alarm clocks, pot holders, records, bedding, cereal, and even a nightgown to document America’s fascination with the game. In the collection, we have a Pac-Man arcade game that was donated in 1984 and was on display for a few years before the museum closed for renovation. So good that thirty years later, it could still capture the time and attention (though thankfully not the quarters) of a far more sophisticated video game audience.(That day, people spent 4.8 million hours playing Pac-Man on the Google site, according to CNET) He was on the cover of Time magazine, had his own Saturday morning cartoon show, and was featured on more merchandise than you could imagine.īut as the Google logo reminded us, the real reason that Pac-Man was successful was because it was a good game. During the early 1980s, Pac-Man was everywhere. Unlike previous hit video games like Pong and Space Invaders, Pac-Man had a recognizable main character which allowed Pac-Man to be the first video game to also be a licensing success. His broad target audience was key in the game’s runaway success. His primary motivation was to develop a non-violent game that would appeal to male and female players alike. Reportedly inspired by a pizza with one slice removed, Pac-Man was developed by Toru Iwatani, a programmer for the Japanese company Namco. I had forgotten how addicting the game was. You could actually play the game! (For those of you who missed it, you can still try it out here.) I hadn’t played Pac-Man in more than 10 years, but before I knew it, I was completely sucked in, staring at my computer screen, determined to “eat” every last pellet. What captured everyone’s attention was for the first time the logo was interactive. See the full list.) This particular instance was to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Pac-man, the popular 1980s video game. (Google has a history of changing their logo in creative ways. A few weeks ago, I discovered, like millions of others, that Google had changed their online logo again to commemorate another special occasion.
