“Money For Nothing” was performed at a private concert for potential investors who were going to help Empire Entertainment go public. If Rihanna would have recorded a song like this, she would have been accused of ripping off Beyoncé‘s “Grown Woman ” that’s what we get from “Adios,” and that’s a good thing. This was the type of song that made you believe Takeem (the celeb nickname given to Teyana and Hakeem on the show) were destined to tour the world together. The princess of Empire records is not slated to appear in anymore episodes this season, but Teyana‘s short time on the show delivered a couple of bangers, some of which made Hakeem more relevant than he could make himself. “I Wanna Love You” is a reminder that as much as Empire may be a hip-hop family, their roots are deep in rhythm and blues. “I Wanna Love You” has a timeless quality to it, sounding familiar and yet very fresh and different from most of Empire‘s R&B, which is bogged down in hip-hop. Proving he isn’t one of those singers who needs to belt things from the top of his lungs, Jamal smooths it out and croons on this gentle two-stepper.
The song is reminiscent of Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake‘s “Holy Grail,” and has an epic build appropriate for the grandeur of Empire Entertainment. This was when Hakeem and Jamal performed the song on stage and ripped the house down. If those keys sound familiar, it’s because they also function as the show’s main theme song, but “No Apologies” wasn’t given justice until the final scene of episode two. The two young Lyons brothers showed their chemistry early on and have proven to be best when collaborating together.

I suspect that perpetually shut hurricane shutters would be frowned upon. Who knows? The good news is that I boast a stellar credit score, am not looking for employment, and my sweet mother is none the wiser resting in peace in the churchyard of St. Folly Gras 2019 by Wesley Moore IIIįor example, how significant is three percentage points in reckoning of my reputation? How does my driving my MG Midget down steps leading to the University of South Carolina’s Campus Police headquarters in 1978 figure into the algorithm? Are there statutes of limitations on youthful indiscretions, like the time or two I was escorted from drinking establishments ? Do my occasionally outré fashion choices affect negatively my score as the tabulators of character scan the internet for images of me, and does the fact that most of those images feature me holding an alcoholic beverage and grinning a shit eating grin negatively affect my score?

To be deemed less reputable than the average Folly resident raises questions. Look, I can count the number of manicured lawns on one hand whereas the number of yards strewn with broken down lawnmowers and the rusted remnants of bicycles would require an abacus to calculate. Fatal drug overdoses among residents, though not common, are not unheard of. īut I live on Folly Beach, the so-called Edge of America, the notorious setting for the 4 th of July riots of 2012 and the disastrous Follygras debacle of 2019. I mean, if I lived in the exclusive planned communities of Kiawah, Wild Dunes, I’on, or Daniel Island, it wouldn’t surprise me if my reputation lagged behind those of the fine families who have chosen to sequester themselves from the mere middling and who sleep secure knowing that architectural guidelines prevent the couple across the street from painting their house in any contraband pigment that might upset the soothing balance of sameness that surrounds them.
