Raaaaaaaandy & Dave Sitek – AAAAAAAANGRY
Feb 23rd
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
I. Die. Reminds me of “I Love Champagne” by Chris Rock. “Ludacris, I bought a jar a mayonnaise when we sent you the beats, and now the sh*ts expired. You’re slower than mayonnaise!” Hil.ari.ous!
Hip-hop comedian Raaaaaaaandy (aka “Parks and Recreation” star Aziz Ansari) and TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek have a rap mixtape on the way. And according to this first introductory track, no MC is safe from their wrath. There are eight A’s in “AAAAAAAANGRY” for a reason.
On the track, Eminem, Drake, Dr. Dre, Ludacris, Jay-Z, Clipse, DOOM, Wu-Tang Clan, Mos Def, Kanye West, and more are all chewed out for failing to deliver promised verses for Raaaaaaaandy and Sitek’s mixtape in a timely manner. Tell ‘em why you mad, Raaaaaaaandy.
(P.S. That’s RZA at the end there.)

Jan 30th
I’ve been always taught to “say what you mean, and mean what you say” and obviously everyone’s favorite person to criticize, Kanye West, lives by a similar creed. ‘Ye took to his blog to rant about the judgments he and girlfriend, Amber Rose have been receiving for their fashion choices (i.e. glorious fur) during their stay in Paris for Fashion Week.
Check out what he had to say:

Kanye & Amber Are PETA’s “Ugliest Things”
Jan 25th
Kelis at Sundance Film Festival, Kanye & Amber at Paris Fashion Week, all of the above are getting their “glorious” fur on, and PETA ain’t happy! Since PETA and Kelis had their tug of war recently, now it’s KAmber’s turn to get the red-blood treatment. (I told you PETA was coming for Kanye& Amber!) Peep what the folks over at PETA had to say on their blog:
The prettiest people do the ugliest things
For the road to riches and diamond rings
. . .
We’ll buy a lot of clothes but we don’t really need ‘em
Things we buy to cover up what’s inside—Kanye West, “All Falls Down“
West apparently lives by his lyrics. The ethical dropout—who horrified voters in PETA’s Worst-Dressed Celebrity competition last year—and his sleazy sidekick, Amber Rose, were snapped by paparazzi strutting around Paris in “the ugliest things,” indeed. Both were wearing head-to-toe fur, and Amber refused to remove her full-length lynx coat during a show at Paris Men’s Fashion Week.

Jan 22nd
The folks at PETA are going to need to work overtime when they get there hands on the pictures of Amber Rose & Kanye West in Paris for fashion week. The couple made the biggest crime against anti-fur activists by sporting full-length fur coats to the Louis Vuitton show and other fur ensembles as they sashayed through the streets of Paris.
Obviously, they are dancing to the beat of the same furry drum as Kelis and just gonna rock the fur in all its glory.

RANDOM UTTERANCE: Kanye West ‘I Sold My Soul To The Devil’
Dec 24th
“Artists be too concerned about their well-being sometimes. Artists be too scared to stand up for something. They scared to lose they f***ing house or they scared to lose their record deal. I sold my soul to the devil, I know it’s a crappy deal. At least it came with a few toys like a Happy Meal.”-Kanye West rapped at a show with Kid Cudi recently. He talked about stepping off the scene for a few months and having a “bad white b*tch like Ice-T” and ushered girlfriend/eyecandy Amber Rose on the stage. Check out the clip:
Sphere: Related ContentTaylor Swift on SNL
Nov 8th
Taylor Swift appeared on Saturday Night Live last night. She performed a short musical monologue entitled “Musical Monologue (LaLaLa)” in which she talked about her anxiety of hosting SNL and the range of things people expect her to talk about but she wailed,” I won’t talk about that in my monologue”.
Taylor referenced her break-up with Joe Jonas and her VMA stagecrasher, Kanye West. “You might be expecting say, something bad about Kanye, and how he ran up on the stage, and ruined my VMA monologue. But there’s nothing left to say, ’cause everything is OK, I’ve got security lining the stage for my SNL monologue.” I’d say Kanye made Taylor relevant to hoards of folks that weren’t exposed to her music and while he made a really asinine move at the VMAs he has gotten her a lot of buzz.
I’m just saying.
Check out the monologue:
