The Internets Celebrities first penetrated the Occupy Wall Street perimeter on the afternoon that the labor unions joined the fray.
One thing that was fascinating to me were all the people holding cameras attempting to document the scene. We have become a hyper-media culture with a cacophony of cameras. But don’t believe everything you see. Cameras are used for telling lies to your vision.
Television.

The Combat Jack Show featuring Dallas Penn

Thirstin Howl the 3rd is one of those rare visionaries in Hip-Hop who wants to move the culture upward using dynamic visual content, better known as the moving pictures.
TH3’s production company, Skillusions Filmwworks, doesn’t just make videos for Thirstin Howl, but his entire camp and cadre of comrades from Fi-Lo to J-Love to Meyhem Lauren and so on.
The video below is the title track from his latest album ‘Natural Born Skiller’ and is the perfect complement to All Hallow’s Eve festivities.
I took a few flicks from my trips to Paris in 2001 and 2005 to make this clip.
Hopefully this video will catch some of the buzz created by KanYe performing in his Illuminati indoctrination gown.
Let me get one thing clear, I fux with Wale. I dig his rhymestyle and his content has always felt smart to me. After his Seinfeld themed mixtape I was a fan. I still give Wale mad credit for namedropping Oksana Bauil. Who does that crazy shit?!? Wale does, but only on mixtapes.
Wale’s albums are a disappointment to me for not having the consistency of cleverness that his mixtapes boast. They are just… Meh. I felt that way about his debut CD ‘Attention Deficit‘ and I feel similarly nonplussed about this new project ‘Ambition’. Wale isn’t a bad rapper and he is far from boring but he does not dominate on his tracks the way he should. Wale is becoming a background rapper on his OWN music. I fux with the tracks I posted below tho’ almost all of them are R&B rap tracks.
When the Maybach Music honcho tabbed Wale for his team I thought that would be the watershed moment for his breakthrough. No one is more confident than Rick Ross. Who else in rap has survived as many fuck ups as Rick Ross? He’s gone from stealing the swag of a drug dealer, being a former law enforcement officer, to battling bloggers and the beast of all rappers, 50 Cent. If Rick Ross can rise up from all of that so can Wale from an embarrassing internets meme moment.
And Wale has risen up. His singular and obvious contribution to Maybach Music is that their sports references have jumped up several levels, and no one knows high end designer hypebeast shit like Wale. You see how crazy Rick Ross sneaker game is now? Give Wale the credit for that. I wish Ross would imbue Wale with the ability to make a consistent album. Not even a great album, just a joint not populated with features which disappear Wale into the background of his own ambitions.
