Esoterica: It feels like zero critiques of hip hop ever point out rapper's depression

vagabondaesthetics:

I mean I never hear people every talk about the 15000 rappers going through depression and usually dedicating several tracks off of their debut albums to talk about their addiction to drugs or pills or their suicidal tendency. The only exceptions are Eminem and Biggie’s…

REAL TALK. [SELF-PLUG: in my upcoming Spin cover story on Waka Flocka, we did talk about this, a lot.]

thethurnischronicles: tacoSantana .. I almost went to Paid Dues fest just so I could see what happened when Odd Future met Dipset, their idols, and how many fucks would be given by Camzilla and my favorite banjee boy Juelz Santana. I think this pretty much sums it up.

It’s a shot at everybody. It’s a shot at the stereotypes that people hold and perpetrate against the lower class, ignoring the diversity of the different people and mindsets. It’s also a shot at white rap journalists who are the biggest re-inforcers of these stereotypes through their limited understanding of the culture and environments they write about. — Big Baby Gandhi, saying what everyone is thinking (and also saying)

Dark Man X: I was a breath of fresh air. — The great thing about being some talented musician on a major label is that having 1000 yes men around you at all times leads to some absurd, super-developed sense of self-esteem and untampered with importance that allows you to say amazing shit like this. I would love to have this measure of Michael Bay-sized, hyper self-awareness. The downside, obviously, is that having 1000 yes men can also help lead a decade addicted to rock, too, but. Glad Earl pulled through. Read this review of his show that Rembert Browne wrote for Grantland, it’s exciting.

But especially Dap, anyone will tell you, it’s like being in a room with a lightning bolt that has a face. Anything out of that dude’s mouth can be on TV. So I always knew. —

-Dap’s best friend Mike Finito on Dap. I like this quote a lot, it’s accurate. #YUNGLOVE

(also, read that interview with Mike Finito, it’s awesome and shows what a COMPLETE MANIAC Mike is)

HEY, remember when Felipe interviewed Nicki Minaj right after the Beam Me Up Scotty tape dropped, and she started flirting with him on camera?!?! THAT WAS AMAZING. Who can blame her though, look at this face:

This is the Kahlo painting, it’s entitled “Portrait of My Sister Cristina,” and obviously the one I have is a detail (I got it off a stoop sale for five bucks). Cristina Kahlo was Frida’s inseparable younger sibling until she totally boned Diego Rivera, which broke up the marriage, even tho both Frida and Diego had been boning basically everyone else in Mexico, France, and New York (there are certain lines one does not cross).
