His shirt says "CREW." Like when he's done rapping he has to go flip some burgers, mop the floor and then work drive through late night.

I miss the days when rap was controversial because it spoke the truth.

2010-11-16T13:43:00.000-08:00

Rappers used to risk jail time over free speech, people focused their frustration and anger into Frankenstein-esque masterpieces made from old records and real talk. Now the biggest controversy in rap is that Kanye replaced his bottom teeth with diamonds.

His album has energy, but it's really just the Kanye show. The Kanye show is in 3D now and has an amazing budget but, well, is that enough anymore? C'mon people, this is supposed to be Hip-Hop, it's supposed to mean something. Oh, and apparently his cd cover is offensive:

No, not that one!

There it is, in all of it's offensive glory. It's silly. People need to get a life if this is a major crisis WALLMART! Here's the thing, the record is fun and big and exciting and sounds good. That's cool, but, here's someone that supposedly has a lot to say and seriously, if you look at his work as a whole, it really hasn't said nearly as much as he gets credit for. I don't trust any rapper that combines religion, righteous lyrics and groupie stories in the same verse. They can entertain me at times, but it's fake, to come full circle, it's Milli Vanilli all over again, just off key and auto tuned. Ever since 2pac every rapper wants to be a combination of Jesus and Scarface, while both men existed in some form or another, the images we have of them are cartoons, not reality, how can anyone claim to be real when their whole identity is based on fictional characterizations? But then again who said Kanye claims all of these things? I've never met the dude, I'm only going on what the media has told me.

Due to today's ever growing and constantly refined popular culture...

2010-11-14T12:07:00.001-08:00

Okay Hammer, I'm still not over you being EVERYWHERE in 1992 (all I wanted was a sanctuary where I didn't have to hear U Can't Touch This) but son, c'mon, an eagle attacking a goat? Why is that cool? Eagles are actually deplorable birds, Ben Franklin wanted our national bird to be a turkey, he felt turkeys had more integrity. The old symbols are here to control us, eagles suck.

Come to think about it, between the street gang scenes in Police Academy 2...

(I always felt like Bobcat looked like Robert Smith in this movie)>D

...and the strong resemblance to Keifer Sutherland's vampire leader...

...to Lobo in "Don't Tell Her It's Me..."

It was a kinder gentler Bee-Gees sound, not like the end of "Fanny Be Tender With My Love" where the last couple of minutes are a three pronged high-pitched vibrato assault.

Sony Music's not going to have to put up with modern diva eccentricities much longer. My theory is that this robot is already being used on most pop tracks today, the male counterpart is named T-Pain.

(PhysOrg.com) -- A new humanoid robot, the HRP-4, has been unveiled at the CEATEC Japan 2010 trade show. The robot, nicknammed "diva-bot," has learned to sing by mimicking a human singer, enabling it to sound natural and to sing with more expression than any previous robot.

At first I was all: "How did this company know that I need Elvis to help me express my joy about the holidays?"

2010-10-19T12:15:00.000-07:00

(That's all right mamma...)

Then I saw the slogan for said company and it all made sense.

If that is true "collecables inspired by ME," then they must have a Scott Walker beer stein.

Why is this making me laugh so hard... it's really not funny.

(I'm still laughing.)

Stolen from the NY Times:

In a coming video for his single “Power” that was created by the artist Marco Brambilla, Mr. West is seen standing imposingly with a heavy chain around his neck. As Mr. West raps, the camera slowly zooms out in one continuous, unedited take to reveal him in a classical structure, surrounded by female attendants... some wear devil horns and still others are suspended upside down from the ceiling. The Sword of Damocles hangs precariously over Mr. West’s head, and behind him an unseen executioner is preparing to strike him with a blade. (ArtsBeat was allowed to watch a portion of this video but was not permitted to post it.)

Okay, after reading that blurb I'm officially done laughing. Come armageddon, come.

This is what's known as the Sha Na Ra crystal skull.

Michael Josephson: "Character Counts"

2010-09-17T21:36:00.001-07:00

For Each of us eventually
whether we are ready or not
someday it will come to an end

There will be no more sunrises
no minutes hours or days

All the things you collected
whether treasured or forgotten
will pass to someone else

Your wealth, fame and temporal power
will shrivel to irrelevance
it will not matter what you owned or owed

Your grudges, resentments, frustrations and jealousies
will finally disappear
so too your hopes, ambitions, plans
and to do lists will expire

The wins and losses that once seemed so important
will fade away

It wont matter where you came from or on what
side of the tracks you lived at the end

It wont matter if your beautiful or brilliant
even your gender or skin color will be irrelevant

So what will matter

How will the value of your days be measured

What will matter is not what you bought
but what you built
not what you got
but what you gave

What will matter is not your success
but your significance

What will matter is not what you learned
but what you taught

What will matter is every act of integrity,
compassion, courage or sacrifice that enriched
empowered or encouraged others to emulate
your example

What will matter is not your competence
but your character

What will matter is not how many people you knew
but how many will feel a lasting loss when your gone

What will matter is not your memories, but the
memories that live in those who loved you

What will matter is how long you will be
remembered, by whom and for what

A life lived that matters is not of circumstance
but of choice.
