I don't know anything about this dude but I like the sh*t he's talking. There's a part where he says that he doesn't want to be like the average post modern film maker who just decides on a reference and faithfully recreates it. I'm totally with that right there. If I recall correctly he was being film specific but that sh*t happens in hella mediums. You know, when you're a fan of sci-fi you really kind of have to resign yourself to having no standards when it comes to production value, or acting, or storylines, or dialogue. There's maybe a ten percent chance that you pick up a sci-fi film and it's good and that's being generous for hovsake.
Too hot too hot baby. I don't know if you've seen one of these but the entertainment factor rests pretty much entirely on the guest. Well at least for me. Don't tell anyone (politics), but maaaan do I dislike the host. Can you think of a song more played out than gangsta's paradise? There's an entire generation of older white folk who hate rap music but know every word to that song. That must be a wild feeling. Coolio was cool at first then painfully uncool for a long time but after watching this, I think he might be cool again. Did you know he was 32 when gangsta's paradise dropped? That fact is not in the video and it has nothing to do with the video, that's just me hitting you with some sh*t.
I thought it was understood that horace had to wear his goggles at all times. How do we know that's not harvey?
As rosenberg even mentions in the interview, horace unfortunately is one of those people who played way too close to greatness and as you can probably guess, they spend this entire thing talking about michael jordan. Man I f**king hated michael jordan. The first basketball game I ever watched was between chicago and new york. It seemed like the whole world was rooting for chicago so instinctively I went with new york. I was so loyal to my knicks fandom that after such a protracted period of heart break, I had to stop watching basketball altogether. But during those years when I was still stanning for john starks/allan houston, one thing remained a constant, michael jordan was such a piece of sh*t. Watching the knicks go up against him was like getting jumped in a gang or some sh*t. You prayed for an alternative but you knew what was going to happen. It's as if he just willed it, like he controlled the energy in the arena. Sometimes I think it was my first introduction to nihilism. There really seemed to be no point. No team was safe. Now that I think about it in hindsight though, I kind of get it. What was the point of being a fan of anyone other than chicago? we all knew who was winning in the end. Some of us hoped otherwise but in our prematurely embittered hearts we knew.
All that to say, from what I've seen this season, steph curry is probably the goat.
I like this interview for it's historical significance, for what I imagine will ultimately become it's archaelogical importance. This is the day rappers, me included, finally stood up to tyrannical radio dj's. The day we finally started the climb to overthrow the oppression of their f**king played out instrumental choices. The instrumentals these motherf**kers throw on during freestyle segments are the same instrumentals you would have heard ten years ago. Quite often it's the same instrumentals you would have heard almost twenty years ago. The crazy part of it is that you'll never convince them that that sh*t is crazy.
These joints have hit the official 30 minute length, you just have to imagine the eight minutes of commercials in there. My lady said the alchemist looked adorable in the restaurant scene. Hahahaha, I wonder how many times the alchemist has been called adorable? excluding any time prodigy did it of course, that was probably the drink's fault.
Ooooooof, this. This. This. This is the type of sh*t that gets passed a whole bunch of people, some of whom are paid specifically to not let this kind of sh*t get passed, and then once it becomes clear that it was a bad idea, everyone wonders how it happened in the first place. Also, let’s face it, this is some white people sh*t. This is what I know about it: a book was published by the same name, which I believe makes no reference to the event at hand but rather uses the word as an allegory of sorts for personal tragedies or disasters in the author/character’s own life. The clothing brand then partnered with the author, and I guess publishing house, to cross-promote and release a limited edition sweater with the tag. And here is where red flags should have gone up. For, without the context of the book, the sweater seems pretty f**king inappropriate. Even within the context of the book, the tag plastered on a sweater for no other reason than it being there, seems poorly thought out. Now I know it’s not cool to be pc and it’s certainly not cool to call out a local brand that was no doubt well-intentioned. But this also seems uncool to me, so what can you do? The proceeds go to oxfam and that’s cool but making light of a mass-killing is decidedly less cool. Also the sweater isn’t that nice, but sh*t, I guess that’s beside the point. Why do we keep making these mistakes? I saw a whole bunch of people online, either blind to or uninterested in the inherent sh*ttiness of the concept but thankfully I saw a few, far fewer, who took offense. It seems so clear and yet it’s not. I won’t go into the fact that ‘moi’ is me in French. Truthfully though, I’m not even as mad at them for putting it out there as I am at those who buy this sh*t and have the cojones to wear it.
This is kind of cool. I must admit I didn't watch the whole thing though, being that I'm a grown man with things to do. You know how it is. I always respected street fighter's commitment to consistency, I mean it took capcom like a decade and 8 versions before they got to part 3, and when they did, it was exactly like part 2. Fortunately that's because there's definitely something to the idea of not fixing something that isn't broken. Years after turning into a passive-at-most gamer, I could still walk up to any new street fighter console and whup the sh*t out of 2/3 of my opponents. I remember being ten years old and crushing this adult dude so many times consecutively that he punched me in the stomach. You know what you do when you're a ten year old who just got assaulted by 30 year old alcoholic? You wince, stone facedly take his apologies, beat him one more time and then bike home as fast as you can weeping and looking over your shoulder like a little b*tch. Tell you one thing though, never caught a motherf**ker slipping since.
Man 1996 was a f**king great year for rap music. I could go on forever about the classic albums released that year but I'm not going to. Not right now at least. Con's got a pretty good story here about bone thugs vs wu-tang, which is beautiful. I don't know who I'd bet on if that was a vegas card. What would the matchups even be? wish vs ghost? layzie vs inspectah deck? bizzy vs killaramy? Where would your loyalties lie? I got cleveland on this one, partially because kyrie irving is the sh*t.
Hahahahahaha. Look at these motherf**ker's try to explain snapchat and khaled to your grandparents. I can't believe that khaled actually thinks that half of his snapchat followers are "old fans". Come on now, until snapchat, khaled was khaled's only fan. I know that, you know that, I feel like he must know that too. If my kid's school was having khaled in to talk to the children, I'd get my kid transfered. Khaled says everything as if he's asking you for confirmation. I will not confirm khaled. There was a moment not too long ago where people were questioning how self aware khaled is. Does it matter? Truthfully I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that this whole time khaled has been suffering from post-concussive symptoms.
