JAY-Z RESPONDS TO KANYE WEST (VMAs)
“[Kanye is] like my little brother, I pretty much introduced him on the first Blueprint… He’s just a super passionate person, and of course it was rude because it was her moment but that’s how he really felt… I think it was rude, but I don’t think, the way they’re treating, it’s on the front of every paper, he didn’t kill anybody, like, no one got harmed… At the end of the day, we’re gonna celebrate him for his passion… As he grows and matures, he’s got to know how to balance that. He’ll learn that in the years to come…That passion wasn’t fake, it wasn’t staged… I don’t think he should lay low, I think he should go on tour and have a brilliant career…The thing you have to realize about it, he’s been that passionate from his first record, he used to jump on tables, I’m trying to make the first Blueprint and he’s jumping on tables. [laughs] If he had changed because of his success, then it would be something else, then it would be a different thing but he’s always been that passionate.”

IT’S AMERICA’S BIRTHDAY…
…but for some it’s just another routine check.
Red white and blue lights blaze the sky like it’s the 4th Day of July, but it’s not the 4th Day of July, it’s a Friday night in the Winter! F*ck firecrackers – these crackers fire at n*ggas!
Also,
Happy Indepedence Day America

“ROBOCOP” BY KANYE WEST (FANMADE)
This music video by Mykola Dosenko is amazing, so amazing… not even commisioned by Kanye West, making it a ‘fanmade’ video. I’m sure Kanye himself would love it, wouldn’t be surprised to see him post it on his blog sometime in the near future.
Be sure to check out some of his other visual artpieces:

“In a stunning result, the winner of the third annual TIME 100 poll and new owner of the title World’s Most Influential Person is moot. The 21-year-old college student and founder of the online community 4chan.org, whose real name is Christopher Poole, received 16,794,368 votes and an average influence rating of 90 (out of a possible 100) to handily beat the likes of Barack Obama, Vladimir Putin and Oprah Winfrey.

‘SADDEST AZN ALIVE’ aka ‘THE HIPSTER GRIFTER’ aka ‘KARI FERRELL’
This is an entry about an IRL story.
Abridged definition: Kari Ferrell has ‘unmeaningful’ sex w/ lots of dudes to scam them of their money. altDefinitions: ‘universal golddigger’ ‘currently wanted IRL’ ‘azn persuazn’ ‘Barry Obama’s stimulus package 4 altbros’
- via ‘Carles’
“It’s likely that when Kari Ferrell walked into the Vice magazine offices in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, last month to interview for an administrative assistant job, they thought they’d hit the jackpot. Ms. Ferrell—petite, 22 years old, of Korean heritage—had a huge tattoo of a phoenix across her chest and a cute pixie haircut. She was talkative, funny, charming, adorable. She had a tattoo on her back that read “I Love Beards.” She told them she’d been working for the New York office of the concert promotion company GoldenVoice, which puts on huge rock festivals like Coachella near Palm Springs, Calif., and that she’d moved to New York from Utah just a few months earlier. They hired her on the spot.”

“NOW I AIN’T SAYIN’ SHE’S A GOLD DIGGA
BUT SHE AIN’T MESSIN’ WITH NO BROKE VINEGARZ”
– Kanye West on ‘Hipster Grifter’
She lied a lot
Pretended she had cancer and was gonna die
Just so people would ‘feel sad for her’
Stole money, credit cards, checks, and cell phones from bros who ‘got to put their penis inside of her vagina’– Carles from Hipster Runoff on ‘Hipster Grifter’

It was also around November that a guy named Troy was at Union Pool, the Williamsburg bar, when the bartender passed him a note from another customer. It read, “I want to give you a hand job with my mouth,” and was signed “Korean Abdul-Jabbar.”

- The (allegedly) original note
The Salt Lake City Police Department now has an extradition order for Ms. Ferrell. Anyone with information on her whereabouts can call Mr. Ross at 801-799-3366.) Sergeant Ross also drew my attention to his department’s use of YouTube in pursuit of Ms. Ferrell:
“BE CAREFUL YALL. srsly. so many ppl out there with bad intentions. just hang out on the internet all day 2 keep urself safe. do no give out ur credit card info unless u r buying a kewl t-shirt or shoes or something.”
– PSA approved by Carles
- @ the end of the day
“Do u ‘feel sad’ for the AZN? or does she sound ‘too good to be true’?
Do u think she is ‘hot’? Do u think she is ‘a disgusting person’?
Do u think she will forever change the AZN stereotype?
Do u think she is going to ‘go to jail’?”– Discussion questions provided by HRO’s ‘Edumacation4bros Who Can Read Good‘
