Yt News today: Youtube daily report Jan 1 2018

Star Trek, I Love Lucy, and The Prisoner are some of the greatest television shows of all

time.

But they also share another surprising connection: each of those classic shows has had an episode

banned.

And they aren't alone.

So what could cause a beloved series like Mister Rogers' Neighborhood to to get yanked

from the airwaves?

Here's a look at why these TV episodes were banned.

Star Trek: Patterns of Force

The original Star Trek was ambitious in its attempts at social commentary.

With the episode Patterns of Force, though, some folks in Germany thought those efforts

went too far.

That's because the episode involved an alien planet under Nazi-like rule - so Nazi-like

they even used actual Nazi uniforms and symbols.

Luckily Kirk and Spock intervene and set up a peaceful government instead, but that didn't

keep this episode from being banned in Germany for decades.

I Love Lucy: The Ricardos Visit Cuba

When Lucy, Ricky, and family traveled to Cuba in 1956, everybody in America had a big chuckle

at Lucy's hilarious fish-out-of-water hijinks.

But after Cuba became a communist regime under Fidel Castro, people stopped laughing, and

this episode was banned from reruns for "almost a decade" despite the fact that it's essentially

just one bad cigar gag after another.

Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood: Conflict

The central focus of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood was always on teaching moral lessons to children

through stories and songs.

So how do you explain the Cold War to kids?

Why, with a multi-part epic storyline where King Friday begins stockpiling bomb-making

materials because he believes Southwood is gearing up to attack Make-Believe.

The result sounds more like Team America than Mr. Rogers, with puppets engaging in espionage,

political paranoia, and teaching lessons on air raids and gas mask use.

"Last time we pretended the people of Southwood were very much like the people of the neighborhood

of Make-Believe.

They certainly weren't people who were building bombs for a war the way King Friday thought

they were."

The episodes actually continued to air in normal rotation until 1996, but haven't been

seen since, other than a few recent attempts to use them as current political commentary.

Star Trek: The Next Generation: The High Ground

This episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation featured Picard and the gang getting involved

in a civil war that was a very thinly veiled commentary on the Irish Troubles.

So thinly veiled, in fact, that the planet's fictional timeline is actually a timeline

of the Troubles, and Data even directly references the conflict.

"And it appears that terrorism is an effect way to promote political change.

Yet there are numerous examples when it was successful.

The independents of the Mexican state from Spain, the Irish unification of 2024."

That didn't go over well in the UK or the Republic of Ireland, especially since the

episode aired just a few months after an IRA bomb attack at the Royal Marines Music School

in Deal in southern England that killed 11 and wounded 22.

As a result, the episode was banned for almost two decades before finally airing in 2006.

Ironically, the episode was originally meant to be about the American Revolution.

In the book Captain's Logs, writer Melinda Snodgrass explained that she was ordered to

make the change by her bosses.

I wanted it with Picard as Cornwallis and the Romulans would have been the French, who

were in our revolution, trying to break this planet away.

Suddenly Picard realized he's one of the oppressors.

Instead, we do 'Breakfast in Belfast,' where our people decide they're going to go off

to Northern Ireland."

The Prisoner: Living in Harmony

This episode of the surreal series The Prisoner featured a novel method of trying to psychologically

break down the protagonist Number 6 by placing him within a virtual reality simulation of

an Old West community and trying to coerce him into playing the role of sheriff.

The character refuses, though, which may or may not have led to the episode being banned,

as some felt it was a commentary about conscientious objectors avoiding the Vietnam War draft.

Officially, the episode was actually banned because of the show's portrayal of mind-altering

drugs, but since many episodes dealt with drug use and still aired, sensitivity about

Vietnam seems to be a more likely explanation.

The Big Bang Theory

China is pretty ban-happy when it comes to imported shows.

They don't need much of a reason, which is good, because they didn't have much of a reason

when it comes to outright banning The Big Bang Theory entirely.

The show is actually quite popular in China, or at least, it was until the State Administration

of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television pulled the plug.

Exactly why is a matter of debate, but some feel it's because of the rise of diaosi, which

originally was a pejorative term for broke loser guys without jobs or girlfriends.

Now, though, the term has been embraced by a generation of young geeks proud of their

so-called loser status who see the characters in The Big Bang Theory as role models.

And that scares China.

Which is great, because the idea of Sheldon Cooper as a counter-cultural iconoclast threatening

to destabilize the social order of one of the biggest nations on Earth is actually more

entertaining than any plot the show could have ever come up with.

2018 Ford F-150 – Review and Road Test - Duration: 8:05.

If you think modern full-size pickup trucks are big and dumb

you're only partly right. Case in point, this F-150. It might be big but it

is not dumb. Quite the contrary Ford has approached this generation

F-150 as a literal test bed, switching its bed and cabs construction from steel to

lightweight aluminum helping improve fuel economy and performance. Inside the

aluminum body is a seriously functional cabin. The seats are comfortable and

supportive, the armrests are well positioned, even though that one is way

over there, there's lots of door storage space, and a really huge bit of storage

here in the center console. Look there goes the medical tape. Up front you've

got a couple of itemized spots where I guess I can put my wallet with more

space than I really need. Up top yet another - storage bin. The F-150 is a

little like an industrial loft. It is a great place to live and work.

Buyers can spec their F-150 in regular, super cab, and super crew layouts but for

carrying people the super crew is definitely the play. Legroom is

outstanding, unlike the cozier super cab. A flat floor means sitting in the middle

position is not some sort of punishment and easy flip up seats mean you can

store your gear safely inside away from the elements and thieves, Tim. And these

channels look like they're expertly crafted to carry, I don't know, large

shipments of wine. Maybe my mom needs an f-150. Sorry, mom.

Of course cabin plushness varies by trim. The basic XL trim comes drenched in easy

to clean plastic but higher trims offer increasingly luxurious appointments.

Nothing caps a hard day on the job like cooled and massaging seats...I'm assuming.

Reviewing cars isn't a real job

Speaking of real jobs if you plan to haul more than just air you've got three

choices. A six and a half foot bed or optional 8 foot cargo box

come on the regular and super cab models while the super crew offers bed lengths

of five and a half and six and a half feet.

The F-150's bed is a perfectly functional space to haul stuff but it should be

noted that a damp tailgate does not come standard. F-150, dropping at old school.

Also, the optional tailgate step does make it easier to get in and out of the

bed but this one doesn't have it so roll the b-roll while I parkour my way into

the bed.

For easier bed loading check the option sheet where you'll find pop-out side

steps, integrated loading ramps, a bed extender / divider, and a damped remote

release tailgate or an assistant closing tailgate with an integrated step.

As a big capable truck you might expect the F-150's road manners to be unrefined

but that's not really the case. Okay there are the normal live rear axle

jitters over bumps but otherwise ride quality is good. The brakes feel

confident, interior noise is suppressed unless I'm making my bag bounce around

in back, and outward visibility is surprisingly good in all directions. A PT

Cruiser! I'm so sorry. A slow steering ratio and comparatively

wide turning circle make confined maneuvering a challenge but if you've got

the dough the option list makes nearly every aspect of driving much much easier. Ok, not this one.

All the others. And, I'm up over the curb. There's a 360-degree camera system for confident

parking, automatic Park Assist for effortless parking, and Pro trailer

backup assist that makes backing up a trailer as simple as turning a knob. On

top of that there's full range adaptive cruise control, pre collision assist with

pedestrian detection, Lane Keeping Assist, and blind spot monitoring that even

accounts for a trailer. Clever. Where engine choices are concerned there are

plenty including an eager and reasonably efficient 3.3 liter V6, a 2.7 liter

EcoBoost v6, a 3.5 liter EcoBoost v6, and for those who hate forced induction a

naturally aspirated 5 liter V8. The base V6 features a 6-speed automatic but the

rest of the lineup uses a 10 speed unit that knocks out nearly undetectable

shifts. Standard on all engines is a fuel saving automatic engine start/stop

system though you'll need to deactivate it on hot days to keep the

air-conditioning working at stoplights. To exploit the F-150's 13,200 pound

maximum tow capacity choose the 3.5 liter but for less extreme towing we

highly recommend the 2.7 liter EcoBoost. The two-seven will tow 8,500 pounds, it

costs a modest 995 dollars versus the base engine, and it returns the best fuel

economy in the f-150 lineup...at least until the 3 liter turbo diesel finally

shows up.

Before moving on we should mention the $51,000 f-150 Raptor whose wide track,

high output 3.5 liter EcoBoost v6, and Baja-worthy suspension enable

unsurpassed off-road thrills. Seriously don't you wish this was you?

For more-grounded off-road adventures non-Raptor f-150s can be equipped with

four-wheel drive and an FX for off-road package. MSRP for a regular cab XL trim

with six airbags, trailer sway control, manual AC, an am/fm radio, and a backup

camera with dynamic hitch assist begins below 29,000 dollars including $1,300

worth of destination chargers. However we think the volume leading XLT is a

worthwhile upgrade. It starts around $34,000 for a regular cab with power

windows and mirrors, a power tailgate lock, and a six-speaker audio system

featuring bluetooth and USB ports. Budget an extra $2,900 for

the Super Cab and $5,200 for the super crew. With even

more budget you can nab an intuitive eight-inch Sync infotainment system,

navigation, heated rear seats, inflatable rear seatbelts, LED headlights, LED box

lighting, a factory spray in bedliner, and passive entry with push-button start, a

feature inexplicably not offered by GM and Toyota. Spend lavishly and you can spec

an F-150 limited trim to the tune of $67,000 though

prices for pickup trucks are frequently incentivized so shop around. Given the

loyalties of truck buyers you probably already have a brand allegiance but if

you're curious the full-size pickup truck field includes the GMC Sierra and

Chevy Silverado twins, the RAM 1500 with its smooth riding coil spring rear

suspension, the Nissan Titan with its standard 390 horsepower v8, and for

resale value enthusiasts and Toyota devotees the Toyota Tundra. Each entrant

has its strengths but the Ford stands out as exceptionally well suited to the

needs of truck buyers.

The Ford F-150 is smart, capable, and ruggedly-styled. In essence it does all

the things a pickup truck should do and it does them really well. It's also a

handy reminder that innovation comes in all sizes.

Your Favorite Dog Breeds Happy New Year! - Animal Facts - Duration: 7:15.

It's hard to deny.

You guys love dogs.

And that's OK with us because we love them too.

Over the past year, you guys have logged hours upon hours of view time on our dog videos.

We raise a toast to you and can't wait to bring you more videos throughout this new

year.

We're going to count views as votes and see what dogs you like most.

There's a playlist of all these dogs linked in the description.

Hi, I'm Leroy and I'm Rosie and this is Animal Facts.

Let's get started.

But, before we start, take a moment to like and subscribe for more fun, fauna facts.

10 Yorkshire Terrier

Might as well start off the list with a cutie.

And you guys have.

The pride of Yorkshire England starts us off.

The Yorkie is a worthy entrant on this list with his silky coat and feisty but loving

personality.

His charms have gained this big dog in a small body the title of the most popular dog in

the US and to the number ten spot on this list chosen by you.

We publish every Monday and Friday, so hit that notification bell to not miss a single

fact.

Yorkie Poo

Take a Yorkie and add a bit of the ever popular and intelligent poodle and you get the number

9 entry on our list.

The Yorkie Poo makes a delightful companion and is perfectly suited to apartment life,

especially if you don't mind a little barking.

He has plenty of energy to burn and he loves to play when he's not parked on your lap

watching Animal Facts.

His ability to run fast and jump high can be surprising to those who aren't expecting

a canine Superman.

Miniature Schnauzer

Lively and active, the Miniature Schnauzer has a larger than life personality and loves

to participate in everything you do.

He'll follow you around the house, alert you to someone at the door – possibly more

heartily than you might desire and his lovable personality has placed him firmly on this

list.

You can't help but love this bearded charmer.

But, don't expect him to sit around watching YouTube with you.

Despite his small stature, the Miniature Schnauzer is not a lap dog.

He's athletic and energetic and needs tons of daily exercise.

Pomsky

You have certainly shown a lot of love to the designer dog breeds and the Pomsky is

certainly no exception.

A cross between a Pomeranian and a Siberian Husky, the Pomsky is a great companion and

wonderful family dog.

Although, they are a bit hard to come by.

Most of us might be stuck admiring him from the sideline, but awwww he's cute!

Rottweiler

Robust and powerful, the Rottweiler is happiest when given a job to perform.

His intelligence, endurance, and willingness to work make him suitable as a police dog,

herder, service dog, therapy dog, obedience competitor and devoted companion, as well

as a popular breed on YouTube.

You seem to love this wonderful breed and we can't blame you.

He's bold and he's beautiful.

Jack Russell Terrier

The Jack Russell Terrier might have had help getting on this list.

Celebrity Jacks like Wishbone and Eddie from Frasier have certainly helped to get this

spunky little dog to the forefront of dog popularity.

That's OK though because this intelligent breed deserves all the recognition he receives.

He may not be a great pet for everyone due to his insane amount of energy and somewhat

stubborn personality, but we do love to watch him.

Maltipoo

These next two are Doodle dogs – both are designer dogs with a Poodle parent.

Number 4 is the Maltipoo.

He is a popular cross of the Maltese and the Poodle, known for his fun-loving and affectionate

nature.

Active and charming, he can fit into all kinds of homes and families: apartment or house,

a family with kids or elderly single.

Find out more about him and the rest of these wonderful dogs in the play list in the description.

Cockapoo

At number 3, our second Doodle dog in this list is the Cockapoo.

He is one of the oldest designer breeds.

The cross between the Cocker Spaniel and the Poodle, he's a much-loved Designer dog known

for being completely people-oriented.

The Cockapoo is intelligent enough to train easily, hardly sheds, forgives quickly, and

is so affectionate that you'll never feel alone.

Maltese

Our listreturns us to the purebred toy breeds.

One of the brightest and gentlest of the toys, the Maltese is exceedingly playful and enjoys

clever games of dexterity such as "pull the hidden toy from under the cabinet with your

paw."

Maltese are generally peaceful with the world and quite confident in his position on this

list.

Hey guys, we've been working on our Patreon page and hope you'll check it out at patreon.com/animalfacts.

Bichon Frise

Some of you have definitely shown concern as to how I say "Bichon Frise", but nonetheless

you've had no trouble watching this fluffy heart warmer.

You've skyrocketed the Bichon to the top of our list by a sizable gap.

Bred specifically to be a companion, the Bichon Frise is a wonderfully affectionate dog.

Because his job was to entertain, his nifty repertoire of tricks made him an ideal circus

dog.

Today, though, he's more often found entertaining his people at home and right here on Animal

Facts.

Thank you for spending 2017 with us and here's to a wonderful 2018.

A Republican mayor's plan to replace partisanship with policy | G.T. Bynum - Duration: 13:34.

So last year, I ran for mayor of my hometown, Tulsa, Oklahoma.

And I was the underdog.

I was running against a two-term incumbent,

and my opponent ran the classic partisan playbook.

He publicized his endorsement of Donald Trump.

He publicized a letter that he sent to President Obama

protesting Syrian refugees,

even though none of them were coming to Tulsa.

(Laughter)

He ran ads on TV that my kids thought made me look like Voldemort,

and sent out little gems in the mail, like this.

[America's most liberal labor union has endorsed]

Never mind that "America's most liberal labor union,"

as defined by this ad, was actually the Tulsa Firefighters Union,

hardly a famed bastion of liberalism.

(Laughter)

Never mind that while she was running for president

and he was serving in his final year in that office,

Hillary, Barack and I could just never find the time to get together

and yuck it up about the Tulsa mayor's race.

(Laughter)

Never mind that I, like my opponent,

am a Republican.

(Laughter)

And so when something like this hits you in a campaign,

you have to decide how you're going to respond,

and we had a novel idea.

What if, instead of responding with partisanship,

we responded with a focus on results?

What if we ran a campaign

that was not about running against someone,

but was about bringing people together behind a common vision?

And so we decided to respond not with a negative ad

but with something people find even sexier --

data points.

(Laughter)

And so we emphasized things like increasing per capita income in our city,

increasing our city's population,

and we stuck to those relentlessly, throughout the campaign,

always bringing it back to those things

by which our voters could measure, in a very transparent way,

how we were doing,

and hold me accountable if I got elected.

And a funny thing happened when we did that.

Tulsa is home to one of the most vibrant

young professional populations in the country,

and they took notice of this approach.

We have in our culture in our city,

an ethos where our business leaders don't just run companies,

they run philanthropic institutions and nonprofits,

and those folks took notice.

We have parents who are willing to sacrifice today

so that their kids can have a better future,

and those people took notice, too.

And so on election day,

I, G.T. Bynum,

a guy whose name reminds people of a circus promoter ...

(Laughter)

a guy with the raw animal magnetism of a young Orville Redenbacher ...

(Laughter)

I won the election by 17 points.

(Applause)

And we did it with the support of Republicans and Democrats.

Now, why is that story and that approach so novel?

Why do we always allow ourselves

to fall back on philosophical disagreements

that ultimately lead to division?

I believe it is because politicians

find it easier to throw the red meat out to the base

than to innovate.

The conventional wisdom is that to win an election,

you have to dumb it down

and play to your constituencies' basest, divisive instincts.

And when somebody wins an election like that,

they win, that's true,

but the rest of us lose.

And so what we need to do is think about how can we change that dynamic.

How can we move in a direction

where partisanship is replaced with policy?

And fortunately, there's a growing bipartisan movement across this country

that is doing just that.

One of its heroes is a guy named Mitch Daniels.

Mitch Daniels served as George W. Bush's budget director,

and during that time,

he created what was called the PART tool.

The PART tool allowed people to evaluate a broad range of federal programs

and apply numerical scoring for them

on things like program management and project results.

And using this, they evaluated over a thousand federal programs.

Over 150 programs had their funding reduced

because they could not demonstrate success.

But unfortunately, there wasn't ever a well-publicized increase in funding

for those programs that did demonstrate success,

and because of this, the program was never really popular with Congress,

and was eventually shuttered.

But the spirit of that program lived on.

Mitch Daniels went home to Indiana,

ran for governor, got elected,

and applied the same premise to state programs,

reducing funding for those programs that could not demonstrate success,

but this time, he very publicly increased funding for those programs

that could demonstrate success,

things like increasing the number of state troopers

that they needed to have,

reducing wait times at the DMV --

and today, Mitch Daniels is the president of Purdue University,

applying yet again the same principles,

this time at the higher ed level,

and he's done that in order to keep tuition levels for students there flat

for half a decade.

Now, while Mitch Daniels applied this at the federal level,

the state level, and in higher ed,

the guy that really cracked the code for cities

is a Democrat, Martin O'Malley,

during his time as Mayor of Baltimore.

Now, when Mayor O'Malley took office,

he was a big fan of what they'd been able to do in New York City

when it came to fighting crime.

When Rudy Giuliani first became Mayor of New York,

crime statistics were collected on a monthly, even an annual basis,

and then police resources would be allocated based on those statistics.

Giuliani shrunk that time frame, so that crime statistics

would be collected on a daily, even hourly basis,

and then police resources would be allocated

to those areas quickly where crimes were occurring today

rather than where they were occurring last quarter.

Well, O'Malley loved that approach, and he applied it in Baltimore.

And he applied it to the two areas that were most problematic for Baltimore

from a crime-fighting standpoint.

We call these the kidneys of death.

[Baltimore homicides and shootings, 1999]

So there they are, the kidneys.

Now watch this.

Watch what happens when you apply data in real time

and deploy resources quickly.

In a decade, they reduced violent crime in Baltimore

by almost 50 percent, using this approach,

but the genius of what O'Malley did

was not that he just did what some other city was doing.

Lots of us mayors do that.

(Laughter)

He realized that the same approach could be used to all of the problems

that his city faced.

And so they applied it to issue after issue in Baltimore,

and today, it's being used by mayors across the country

to deal with some of our greatest challenges.

And the overall approach is a very simple one --

identify the goal that you want to achieve;

identify a measurement by which you can track progress

toward that goal;

identify a way of testing that measurement cheaply and quickly;

and then deploy whatever strategies you think would work,

test them,

reduce funding for the strategies that don't work,

and put your money into those strategies that do.

Today, Atlanta is using this to address housing issues

for their homeless population.

Philadelphia has used this to reduce their crime rates

to levels not enjoyed since the 1960s.

Louisville has used this not just for their city

but in a community-wide effort bringing resources together

to address vacant and abandoned properties.

And I am using this approach in Tulsa.

I want Tulsa to be a world-class city,

and we cannot do that if we aren't clear in what our goals are

and we don't use evidence and evaluation to accomplish them.

Now, what's interesting, and we've found in implementing this,

a lot of people, when you talk about data,

people think of that as a contrast to creativity.

What we've found is actually quite the opposite.

We've found it to be an engine for creative problem-solving,

because when you're focused on a goal,

and you can test different strategies quickly,

the sky's the limit on the different things that you can test out.

You can come up with any strategy that you can come up with

and utilize and try and test it

until you find something that works, and then you double down on that.

The other area that we've found that it lends itself to creativity

is that it breaks down those old silos of ownership

that we run into so often in government.

It allows you to draw all the stakeholders in your community

that care about homelessness or crime-fighting or education

or vacant and abandoned properties,

and bring those people to the table

so you can work together to address your common goal.

Now, in Tulsa, we're applying this

to things that are common city initiatives,

things like, as you've heard now repeatedly,

public safety -- that's an obvious one;

improving our employee morale at the city --

we don't think you could do good things unless you've got happy employees;

improving the overall street quality throughout our community.

But we're also applying it to things that are not so traditional

when you think about what cities are responsible for,

things like increasing per capita income,

increasing our population,

improving our high school graduation rates,

and perhaps the greatest challenge that we face as a city.

At the dawn of the 1920s,

Tulsa was home to the most vibrant African American community in the country.

The Greenwood section of our city was known as Black Wall Street.

In 1921, in one night,

Tulsa experienced the worst race riot in American history.

Black Wall Street was burned to the ground,

and today, a child that is born

in the most predominantly African American part of our city

is expected to live 11 years less than a kid that's born elsewhere in Tulsa.

Now, for us, this is a unifying issue.

Four years from now, we will recognize

the 100th commemoration of that awful event,

and in Tulsa, we are bringing every tool that we can

to address that life-expectancy disparity,

and we're not checking party registration cards

at the door to the meetings.

We don't care who you voted for for president

if you want to help restore the decade of life

that's being stolen from these kids right now.

And so we've got white folks and black folks,

Hispanic folks and Native American folks,

we've got members of Congress, members of the city council,

business leaders, religious leaders,

Trump people and Hillary people,

all joined by one common belief,

and that is that a kid should have an equal shot at a good life in our city,

regardless of what part of town they happen to be born in.

Now, how do we go forward with that?

Is that easy to accomplish?

Of course not!

If it were easy to accomplish,

somebody would have already done it before us.

But what I love about city government

is that the citizens can create

whatever kind of city they're willing to build,

and in Tulsa, we have decided to build a city

where Republicans and Democrats use evidence, data and evaluation

to solve our greatest challenges together.

And if we can do this,

if we can set partisanship aside

in the only state in the whole country where Barack Obama never carried

a single county,

then you can do it in your town, too.

(Laughter)

Your cities can be saved or squandered

in one generation.

So let's agree to set aside our philosophical disagreements

and focus on those aspirations that unite us.

Let's grasp the opportunity that is presented by innovation

to build better communities for our neighbors.

Let's replace a focus on partisan division

with a focus on results.

That is the path to a better future for us all.

Thank you for your time.

(Applause)

Here's a List Albums We're Still Waiting On in 2018 - Duration: 4:01.

Jinx here for Complex News.

We're living in an era of an endless stream of music, with 2017 serving as further proof

with a gang of albums dropping each week.

Even with that, it seems like it's not enough when it comes to some artists.

I'm talking about that particular group that we start the year hoping for a release, and

end the year with nothing.

Now we know that art takes time, but that doesn't stop us from giving a friendly reminder

that— —That we need these albums.

So without further ado, these are the albums that we're waiting on:

PUSHA T - KING PUSH Despite taking on the important role of President

of G.O.O.D.

Music, Pusha T hasn't brushed off any conversation about his forthcoming studio album: King Push.

But also keep in mind that he's been talking about this project for almost 4 years now.

I actually spoke with Push a few years ago where he told me that it was going to be a

Neptunes helmed project:

Welp... things have changed since 2014.

This summer we linked up again, and he told me that much has changed and gave a status

update:

But during that same discussion Push revealed that it's also no longer executive produced

by The Neptunes.

Instead, the project's sonics are being helmed by none other than Kanye West.

I'm be honest with y'all.

It doesn't matter what Pusha raps over, because he can take any beat and whip crack over it.

We just need our fix!

EARL SWEATSHIRT

Fans of Earl Sweatshirt have been waiting for a new full-length project since 2015's

I Don't Like Shit I Don't Go Outside.

Since then, we've gotten a few verses, like the one he crushed last year on Danny Brown's

"Really Doe" or the bars he spit on the Samiyam's tripped out boom-bapish "Mirror" or the work

he's done with producer Knxwkedge.

I've heard around that he's been working on new material, but none of that is directly

from Earl, nor has he delivered anything full length.

Instead he takes his time, and keeps his output measured and select.

So until he says it's a go... we'll be waiting.

Travis Scott's Astroworld is easily one of the most anticipated albums.

While we don't know what it'll sound like, it's largely due to him being one of the most

popular and exciting artists out right now.

He's currently providing the anthems that bang in the clubs, live in your headphones,

and turn into pure unfiltered chaos at his live shows.

It's also due to the fact that he's been talking about it since before the release of his last

album "Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight."

We should probably ease off him a bit, since he literally went on a streak of dropping

a project each year, with each one almost exactly a year apart with: Days Before Rodeo,

Rodeo, and Birds In the Trap Sing McKnight.

Also consider that he's been on tour the majority of the year and is said to be having a child

with Kylie Jenner.

So yeah... he's kind of busy.

But even if we don't get Astro World, there's still a chance we get the Travis and Quavo

"Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho" project soon—which is said to have been sent off for mixing.

THE INTERNET

The Internet is one of the more exciting groups in recent memory.

All talented in their own rights, each of them set out this year to release or work

on solo projects, resulting in Matt Martians' The Drum Chord Theory; Steve Lacy's "Steve

Lacy Demo" and Syd's "Fin" and "Always Never Home."

Seeing them flex their abilities on their own, allows you to see what they bring to

the group, but it's their combined powers that really shine.

Which is why fans are clamoring for a new project from the band.

They've remained relatively hush about it, but with this much output and a tight-knit

group, they're likely tossing around ideas and new material ahead of another project.

NICKI MINAJ

2017 seemed like the year that female rappers reminded everyone to not count them out.

We saw output from Dreezy, Rhapsody, Remy Ma, newcomer and superstar Cardi B, and even

Lil Kim, among others.

With Cardi running up the charts and landing a grammy nom.

While we await what's next for the Bronx emcee But it's all eyes on Nicki Minaj in 2018.

Having not dropped an album this year, but thrown around songs, from a few barbs (no

pun intended), Nicki is still the reigning queen of rap right now, having set the standard

of stardom.

With welcome competition, her fanbase and the rap community are waiting to see what

she does next.

With anything Nicki does, it's usually big and causes some news.

A well put-together album with something to say will be the foundation of her continued

dominance.

Okay... so those are just a few of the projects we're awaiting, but there are other artists

we've got on our radar like Chance The Rapper, A$AP Rocky, Rae Sremmurd, and of course Lil

Wayne's Carter V... which is still stuck in contractual Limbo.

We're dying to know who you guys are waiting for?

Fall thru the comments with your picks and the likelihood that they'll give us something

in 2018.
