“How does a very rich and eminently successful artist with a superstar-all-from-a-home-movie girlfriend call us out? ‘Black Skinhead’ is somebody banging on your door in the middle of the night, hurtling out of Ye’s metal-plated face, predicting reactions before it’s halfway over. He rides an industrial-sounding, stadium-sized beat, calling Chicago, ‘Chiraq’ in a grainy echo. He associated himself with Malcolm X on ‘Good Morning,’ but then it was a joke. This time he’s serious. He says he’s going 400 mph, which we believe – he’s taken corners on two wheels on live TV before.”

- Frannie Kelly on Kanye West’s two new tracks, which point fingers in every direction, include himself (via nprmusic)

After seeing these performances, Kanye finally has my respect. He must have been into Death Grips for this new music, or at least that is what I see/hear.

Telekinesis - Empathetic People. I just got this new album by them and I really like it alot. This song has got a Jay Reatard feel to it. Kind of the real pop punk. The music video is really cool too.

So far this month I’ve been banging Norwegian metal and Iggy Azalea. Opposite ends of the spectrum…. or maybe not.

I’m really digging this band lately. They kind of sound like Fucked Up but with more blast beats and more metal. They satisfy my need for melody and hardcore/metal vocals. The album is pretty damn rocking and is named Meir. It came out in March so it should be easy to find.

Iggy Azalea’s brand new single ‘Bounce’.

This girl is going to be HUGE! PU$$Y and Work are getting her there, but I think this song is going to tip the scale.

Michael Shannon (Boardwalk Empire) gives a dramatic reading of the craziest sorority letter ever written.

“

Hip-hop is now the lingua franca and the background music for an entire generation of kids. And one of its dynamics — the idea of a marginalized group rapping about that marginalization — has remained essentially intact as hip-hop has conquered the world, in part because marginalization is the narrative that teenagers everywhere fit themselves into.

If something is everywhere and everyone trafficks in it, who gets to decide when it’s real or not? What happens when hip-hop stops being black culture and becomes simply youth culture?
