apparently one of the 'reverbations' of the Doush's release is wikivandalism

DateFriday, September 3, 2010 at 15:15

Oh come on, ESPN, that's three dropped letters. 'Reverbations' isn't even close to a word.

As you can see, the Newsvine team's least favorite Seahawk won't be one much longer, and so I can stop whiteknighting him and his awesome CRIBS appearance now.

Also, somebody with a vendetta against English, Sal Paolantonio, and Lendale White got into Housh's wiki:

on people who snap being used for political purposes

DateThursday, September 2, 2010 at 12:41

Y'all might have noticed James Jay Lee's Last Stand yesterday. He was a big fan of The Inconvenient Truth and Ishmael before he was a big fan of taking hostages and demanding Discovery start promoting sterilization.

Some people have started pointing fingers at Al Gore. This is dumb. [To be clear: I do not like Al Gore. If I had to pick the face of a movement, he would be well below Brian Bosworth on my list.] 

But still:

[On the US school shootings] Everybody is wanting to know what music were the kids listening to, or what movies were they watching. Who gives a fuck what they was watching! Whatever happened to crazy? What, you can't be crazy no more? Should we eliminate crazy from the dictionary?

That classic bit from Chris Rock's 'Bigger and Blacker' encapsulates how I feel about most 'community shootings'.

sfs: wear clean draws for bianca and my future daughter

DateThursday, August 5, 2010 at 21:45

It's presumptuous to think I'll have a kid. [I'm terrified of pregnancy.] But I couldn't think of a better way to put it in the headline.

Whatever you think of The Coup's occasionally uneven discography, it's hard to deny that Boots can write and Pam can lay tracks. When they're both on point it's magical. I think I was still in middle school when I heard 'Fat Cats, Bigga Fish' at a friend's place [with the Baloo sample!] and lost my mind. This is my favorite, though:

The Coup - Wear Clean Draws

Bianca's a NYC girl, as she'll gladly tell you. She's funny as hell but will step to you in a second, and she did a really good job of bridging the gap between real talk and academic speech in school. I have girl friends that I think of as older sisters and twins, but few younger sisters. Bianca's one of them. I'm really proud of her.

you know this groove from the wrong song

DateTuesday, August 3, 2010 at 17:24

MTV stopped stocking the video to the Quad City DJs' 'C'mon 'N Ride It (The Train)' but there's no way it's better than this local Soul Train line bizness.

Slit dress game proper.

The source of that floor-rushing bass groove? None other than Barry White.

the rozay template

DateWednesday, July 28, 2010 at 17:05

Rick Ross references gangstas like Game does other rappers, as Complex pointed out. I realized the other day, though, that he uses the exact same cadence on his heater 'B.M.F.' that he did on 'Hustlin'', still one of the greatest get-your-ass-up anthems.

Listen:

I know Pablo, Noriega

[~1:00] Rick Ross - Hustlin'

I think I'm Big Meech, Larry Hoover

[each chorus] Rick Ross ft. Styles P - B.M.F

Voila. The Rozay Template.

Ricky being Ricky, ganked from Crunk & Disorderly.
