Five predictions if Congress doesn't pass... →
AKA HELL 2 PAY/possible mobilization of latino voting demographic, etc. Related: don’t forget that when Arizona children go back to school on Monday, they’ll be doing so sans ethnic studies classes thanks to a new law. Because their secretary of education, Tom Horne, is an insane racist… even worse, he’s the kind of insane racist who invokes MLK to justify his...

PRODIGY IS TOTALLY RELEASING AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY NEXT... →
Written along with Laura Checkoway, my esteemed former VIBE coworker. You know Prodigy is the best writer in rap ever, right? I want to read 90,000 books by him. Endlessly fascinating. OMG WHAT IF PRODIGY JOINS TWITTER WHEN HE COMES HOME. If you have not read his 2008 exegesis ‘TRENDS PRODIGY HAS SET SINCE 1992 AND STILL IS SETTING IN 2008 AND BEYOND,’ I beseech you to do so...

THE NAME OF MY BAND WAS THE GHOSTS OF WOMEN WHO... →
yes. yes it was. i was in a band when i lived in portland because it is a pacific northwest cultural imperative and besides what the fuck else was i gonna do? we were all jacked on stumptown coffee and having a demanding job meant you had to work 8 hour days, five days a week, the horror. it was a suspended state of permanent free time. so anyway the band was called THE GHOSTS OF WOMEN WHO HAUNT...

SO FASCINATED BY KANYE’S ‘90S FASHION MAG-STYLE FIXATION ON DEAD-LOOKING WHITE MODELS. Did dude just now discover Steven Meisel’s back catalog or something? Was all over his GOOD Friday cover art, the original/banned cover painting Corso did which I loved and needs a super-critique, and now this. Shit is crazy multilayered race and gender wise, particularly when you fold in his...

One time last summer I was sleeping over at Dap’s and we’d stayed out late and it was like 2 pm and we were still sleeping and leaking gross sweat in his little bed, sweating in the way that you sweat when you’re sleeping into the afternoon in New York summer. Sweat the consistency of cheap maple syrup. And Victor decided we needed to wake up (I think because it was the 4th...

My friends Das Racist, minus Dap, were interviewed by Deborah Solomon in the NY Times Magazine. Two weeks ago she interviewed Nancy Pelosi. WHAT THE FUCK yall. Dap got a good proxy line via Hima, tho, about John Boehner being a white devil, which is probably the most naked truth the paper of record has ever printed about that dude. (addendum—as collier points out, there was a mistake. in...
