When I clean myself up, I look pretty fresh. But I like to be grimy. I guess I got nappy hair. I got to be me.

Kevin Durant via Kevin Durant is NEXT - Chris Jones - ESPN The Magazine - ESPN (via smalter)

Err… I did a quick google images search and couldn’t find one picture in which Kevin Durant looked grimy

Paparazzi

I like this song.  In an interview, Lady Gaga talked about how with her music and performance art she was creating this separate space for her fans where they can feel like they belong.  I’m pretty sure I don’t belong in Lady Gaga’s universe either, but what I like about her universe is that this dude she’s following around, as far as she’s concerned, is a rockstar.  And they’re both constantly trying to kill each other.

“there are also racial dimensions to the death penalty.  a black person is three times as likely to receive the death penalty than a white person”

“that doesn’t mean we need to get rid of the death penalty.  that just means we need to kill more white people.”

This is actually the first part of a pretty extensive interview with Mr. West where they talk about some pretty interesting stuff.  Then he drops this crazy-ass rhyme that is mind blowing in its utter political incorrectness.

I vaguely remember Jane Eyre being the only Victorian novel I liked in high school

Its interesting, when you hear Jay-Z explain how that first album he wasn’t concerned with people singing along and how the structure of the songs were more chaotic, it makes you think that in his new albums he’s concerned with precisely these things.  On the one hand there’s the idea that he’s making a better commercial product, on the other hand there’s the idea that he’s just making boring music with a higher probability of mass appeal.  There’s also the idea that there’s an inverse correlation between having things to say and falling back on these formulaic crutches.
