Revisit Your Timeline With All The WTF Moments Of 2017!

When you think about it, your timeline is just a millennial version of what CNN used to be. It either keeps us in the loop or burns some of our brain cells with stuff that got us like WTF?!

2017 Was Like An Icy Hot Patch,

Stimulating At Times But Yet

Very Disappointing When You Turn Around.

From politics becoming THE most trending topic, scandals erupting every 2 seconds, comedians coming out from everywhere on social media, Hip Hop being on top of the world; 2017 reminded us that it was a great time to be alive.

Regardless, there are things we can’t unsee. Indeed, your timeline was full of WTF moments this year and today we will remind you 5 moments we rather leave in 2017 (can somebody say: Bye Felicia?).

 

donald trump twitter, your timeline, best of 2017

-1 Donald Trump, The President Of…..Twitter Basically

Donald Trump was definitely ”Trumpin” on your timeline this year. From his vicious clap backs at celebrities, Hillary Clinton or anything who had something to say about him; Kanye taught him everything about twitter rants.

As much as we despise him, he transformed the world of politics in his own way (and definitely not for the best). Try to think about a day we didn’t get a frenzy in the Twitterverse because of this man who made 140 characters become the vehicle of hate, ignorance and fake news as he would put it.

C’mon Son!

-2 Man’s Not Hot

Michael Daapha aka Roadman Shaq or Big Shaq (we still don’t know at this point) had the year on smash! From his viral ”Man’s Not Hot” freestyle on BBC radio. Throughout the year we all made the ”ting goes skrrrahh, pap, pap, ka-ka-ka. Skibiki-pap-pap, and a pu-pupudrrrrboom” right?!

In retrospect, it reminds me why Hip Hop has changed a lot. Even though it was a pure comedy sketch, most of the viewers, including me, thought it was a real song.

We laughed, we cried (of joy for sure), we enjoyed it, shared it, quoted the lyrics and like every good joke in the world; I had one point we had to get over it.

Please, ladies and gentlemen, I beg you please, don’t bring back Roadman Shaq in 2018 unless he got another hit (if hit is the right word).

-3 The Hashtag That Changed It All: #MeToo

This topic here is definitely a serious issue. Rape and sexual harassment are those types of social injustices that we know exist, we understand how bad they are but yet we’re still stuck trying to figure a real solution.

I would like to salute the women who came out of the trenches to denounce those acts and we clearly saw that 1 courageous effort can spark a social revolution.

What was very alarming in this case is to realize how many men in power were the ones creating the most atrocities over the years (nothing new but still shocking). Execs, businessmen, celebrities and etc; the entertainment world was exposed for one of its most hideous secrets.

Even all the way up in Montreal we saw public figures such as Gilbert Rozon & Éric Salvail bring out their fair share of scandals. A worldwide issue was now brought to the forefront and in this digital age, it’s only right that we used a hashtag to protest against it.

I think we will step into 2018 finally admitting that rape culture does exist (as if it wasn’t clear from the get-go).

#4 Dennis Coderre Took The Biggest L This Year

If only Denis Coderre had read 48 Laws Of Power! One of the laws says: ”Plan all the way to the end” and he clearly skipped that chapter for his elections fiasco. I didn’t see it coming, you didn’t see it coming and I’m pretty sure Denis didn’t saw it coming either but he lost the elections (by someone totally new in politics).

Even though we hate politicians false promises, we still feel entitled to get a lot of them but this time around team Coderre overall message was: ”Look we did a great job in 4 years, elect me again so I can continue”.

Was this a little arrogant? Oh yeah! What was the public response? Well, quite simple: we rather elect a mayor with no formal experience than a knows-it-all-formula-e-flop-maker mayor. It was not my sentiment at all but the majority has spoken and they were sure getting Denis out of here,

As a Haitian guy living in Montreal, Denis Coderre was our guy!, Seriously, he once said he was the first Haitian mayor in Montreal google it.

Honestly, They Did Denis Dirty This Year

but I hope that Valerie Plante understands that she has to match Denis’ Dab & Kompa game to be half as nice (at least on my end).

-5 The Bitcoin Boom( And Everybody Turning Into Warren Buffet Because Of It)

It’s time for a reality check ladies and gents (no pun intended)! This Bitcoin thing is getting out of control. I would be a trillionaire If I had a dollar for everybody who told me they would’ve been rich if only they invested in cryptocurrency earlier.

Listen I’m far from a Warren Buffet but since everybody is today let me drop my two cents:

When it comes to trading, when E-V-E-R-Y-B-O-D-Y is buying the same stocks; that’s usually when you have to get out.

Your timeline was probably flooded by many people telling you that this was the future. Perhaps, one thing we sure know about money is this:

Everybody Talks About It But Who Really Got It?

For all the Bitcoins fanatics of the world, we don’t want to hear it in 2018 please just…PLEASE!

What Do You Think?

Malefycia Is Restoring The Feeling, One Spooky Scream At A Time

Long are the days when I was cruising down the streets on October 31st either looking for candies to devour for 3 weeks straight or even as an adult looking for a popping club where I could tell people ”My costume is ME tonight”.

The truth is, I think Malefycia restored something that I thought was buried inside me. They reminded me that not only I liked Halloween but I just couldn’t find an alternative in my adult life to spark my curiosity on one side and get the thrill going on the other.

Malefycia been around for a minute but this year they’re trying something different…I mean different.

You’re familiar with the 7 sins in the bible don’t you? You’re aware of what a haunted house is supposed to be don’t you? Well, something in their team had the genius and actually vicious idea to combine these two things who might have nothing to with each other on the outside looking in but in this new adventure/haunted house experience; it all make sense!

their show called V7CE is cross theatre performance, cross the most scary thing you’ve ever seen. The show includes different scenes and interactive plays putting on the forefront the 7 sins from the bible.

What always stand out to me when it comes to Malefycia, is there raw and authentic attention to details.

Do yourself a favor and come immerse yourself in this universe and your inner child and your thrill-seeking inner adult have some fun.

Myraï Lavoie Is Creating Her Own Universe And You’re Invited

What I appreciate the most about my work is the fact that I get to meet great minds & humans with a powerful story and this time around, I got to cross path with the talented Myraï Lavoie.

The city has been quiet fashion wise over the years and as platform that mostly talked about fashion in its inception, we’ve felt it the most over here.

There would be sparks of hope here and there but besides Festival De Mode & Design, not a lot of things really stood out.

When I heard about ”The Glitch” it’s like I knew what it was about without nothing what it was about.

I mean good branding is good branding but it was more so who’s behind the good branding this time around. I had the chance to work with Myraï Lavoie in the past and one thing I can is : there’s a method to her madness.

Every artist has an eye and that eye is shaped by our views of the world and life experiences. Myraï had an interesting life.

One where being different is actually the move. One where if you don’t fit somewhere, you don’t try to get in the mold, you bend it.

For all the lack of support or misunderstand she got in Montreal, she found a place to be creative working or being in room with the likes of Paris Hilton & P. Diddy to name a few.

What she’s learned from coming out of her shell and experiencing the world she’s about the share it with us with her own fashion called ”The Glitch” tonight.

”The Glitch” is exactly what I thought it was going to be. A standout experience and experience and something you’ve never seen before just like its creator.

We are now entering an era where we want to know more about what is going on on the other side of the world.

How people are living, their culture and what is their reality compared to ours.

Sometimes the depiction of such reality is either unfair or made to look down at somebody. Other times, filmmakers have the challenge to depict a reality in a way to uplift what other cultures are bringing to the table.

Milan Bihlmann and Muammer Yilmaz are two filmmakers who know where they stand when it comes to that.

Rêves D’Afrique” is the epidemy of that. The two filmmakers decided to go to 7 countries in Africa to not only paint the picture for the world but to give the good people out there something we forget to give one another : ”a piece of yourself’.

Armed with a backpack, film gear and true altruism, the duo spread love and good deeds wherever they could throughout their trip.
