My badd for letting this drop queue up without my copy. Time to Blaxberry it up from the gig
The song we hear in the background is from the 808’s CD. I totally wanted to make a video of that joint where KanYe and Lil’ Wayne have this house party up in the snowy wilderness and then they proceed to butcher everyone in the house and then set that shit on fire. Yes, that would have been a gory and dark video, but the point would have been their contention with all of the fame and acclaim they are garnering and how it spirals them downward into insanity.
Suffice to say no one liked the idea. I think this video by ‘Ye Tudda and Spike Jonze speaks to that assertion. The self-immolation is not what I expected but it doesn’t detract from the video.
Longform music videos aren’t new to pop music either, not even to rap music if you consider vehicles like Jay-Z’s ‘Streets Is Watchin’. KanYe should do more of these videos. Kid Cudi as well. Fux it, ALL rappers need to climb outside of the box if they want to extend their shelf life and the culture of Hip-Hop.

Women Are Wearing The Thickpants Now…

Rising number of women earn more than mates
This is so true on a thousand levels. Chocolate Snowflake wears the corduroys in our relationship. Keep in mind that she has a college degree as well, so any chick I am dating will be making more money than me. Plus I like to ‘date up’ anyhoo. I refuse to be around any broad that has education credentials like mine.
This situation certainly has been true for the last two generations within the African American community. Now they are trying to push this lifestyle onto whites who have every reason to push back. What people are recognizing now is that there is no longer a middle class. Everyone is now part of the ‘working class’.
This means shit like no more vacations abroad or otherwise. They have even been marketing a term to describe your stay at home vacations – staycations. While that is a cute marketing device, it also tells me that the quality of life is being dramatically eroded if people can’t afford to literally change their perspectives.
I’m all for women being recognized for their contribution to the workforce. They can even bring home twice my salary if their boss will allow it and I will stay home to feed the babies, er, cats. I’m just leyting everyone know now that I want an apron to fit a 350lb man and not some little shit. This is the future internets. Next up, lactating male nipples.

The most recent episode of ‘Curb’ is near and dear to me because I dated a fine sister in a chair. Everything that happens in this episode is EXACTLY how it happens in real life. You end up going through a period of only dating women who are differently abled.
For the record, I never hit a broad with Down’s Syndrome tho’.
