You want Armageddon? I’ve got your Armageddon right here, Hortense. If there’s One. Thing. all of the world awaits at this very moment, it is a new Rihanna album. Don’t believe me? There is proof all over the World Wide Web. Rihanna enjoys leaving the house looking fierce in crazy shit, and every paparazzi in the vicinity tramples over sweet puppies and old ladies to get a shot. These things do not happen with just anyone. They do not.
In three days, the first of many disasters will have the world in it’s feral grip according to the Countdown to Red Death clock on Rihanna’s shocking website. Then, on November 23, all manner of screeching hell will break loose. There will be stigmata. We will crack each other’s skulls open in search of treasure. And all of my white gay friends will vomit on one another in ecstacy. These things were all foretold in the Bible and Women’s Wear Daily. You will die.
It stands to reason that I probably missed this back in May because I saw the words “Tru Life” in my RSS feeds and just kept-a scrollin’ as I am wont to do. So the other day, VanitySnob presented me with this video, that exceeds the highest heights of fucktacious douchery. I’ve never seen something so spectacularly mind-numbing in all my days! Watch as Mr. Life pours Rosé into a bowl of Fruity Pebbles and proceeds to feast. Listen as he utters enraging words like “Swaggarian” and brags about his unreleased classic records. This video is a collection of things that should not exist on our modern Earth. Watching this is like witnessing the birth of a child because of how frightening it is, yet you will continue to watch. And re-watch! (Not for nothing, but he got in a bit of trouble with the law over the summer, as in, he was arrested for stabbing someone to death. Yikes. Any updates?)
With The NovaJava Blend, my goal is to complete a ton of unfinished blends on my hard drive and deliver them to you on a (fairly) weekly basis. They will cover a range of sounds and approaches-R&B/Soul, House, Hip-Hop, Pop, commercial, underground, new, old, fresh and forgotten. There will be occasions when a blend is anchored by something brand new, but the goal of the project isn’t indiscriminately dropping new shit for GP. Enjoy, and feel free to send suggestions and tracks to novaslim@gmail.com.
What do we think about when we think about douchebags? The definition can be broad in the midst of applying it indiscriminately to average buttholes we dislike. But there are a few tried and true characteristics of douchebags particularly in Hip-Hop, a culture that has become a sanctified bosom within which rabid douchery can cultivate and at once thrive. Let’s rundown a few shining examples of douchery in Hip-Hop with these infamous Hip-Hop douchebags, rated by your requisite and handy vinegar-to-water ratio. Haha. Fun happens now.
