Welp it’s official. Clipse did β€œMTBTTF” at Camp Flog Gnaw which means Pusha T got to say β€œthe Bezos of the nasal” live on Amazon Prime. 😀

Currently watching Clipse on the Camp Flog Gnaw livestream. Median age is probably 28. Tyler is in the front losing his sh*t. Full rap nerd sh*t. And it’s *his* festival. Very inspirational.

The Orlando Magic will forever be a problem for my Knicks no matter what. Just a full on headache. It’s nuts.

The album prior to this, 14 Shots To the Dome, did not perform well. Too experimental. So they went back to the tried and true formula: sexy LL.

β€œHey Lover,” β€œDoin It,” and β€œLoungin” propelled Mr. Smith to double platinum. And to show you he was still hard as hell, β€œI Shot Ya” for good measure.

So let me get this straight… the fascist POTUS gave NYC’s Mayor elect a warmer welcome than the Dem leadership, who are lecturing constituents to β€œwelcome” MTG into the fold because she’s being nice now? This timeline, wow…

The Zohran video/social team group chat must be ON FIRE right now. They were handed a gift w/ all of this footage of Trump being all 🀩 next to Mamdani. I hope they get to hit the town and get wasted tonight or something. They deserve it.

I looooooove how 86 Democrats joined Republicans in publicly condemning socialism in preparation for Mamdani's meeting w/ Trump. Mamdani had this jackalope cheesing and gushing. It's so amazing how that works.

I'm sorry, he was there last year AND this year.

I think he was invited to the Playlist Retreat last year so that tracks.

Did the Orange Guy really scare the Dems w/ the whole "punishable by death" thing a couple days ago? Because it really looks like it did. Let's follow up the Herculean feat we pulled off for abuse survivors just days ago by looking like absolute p*ssies.

De La Soul, by Gareth Donkin from the album Welcome Home (Deluxe)

Super happy for Gareth Donkin. Amazing artist in his own right. I like to think he ended up on the new @wearedelasoul.com album by shooting this very specific shot on his debut in 2024. Pretty inspiring if you ask me.

"The reality is, you don't pay for a guaranteed good time when you go to a show. You pay for the attempt."

If you bought tix for a tour marking a milestone anniversary of a critically acclaimed debut album and you read this, would you still be hype for the show? This isn't even the worst of it.

I think anyone over the age of like 40 is considered OG these. They call me that all the time at the gym and I’m just now getting used to it. All this grey in my beard really hittin’ different lately.

One of the young guys I play pickup ball w/ at the gym looked me right in the face tonight and asked me if I’m retired.

I’m 47 years old.

I know he's far from Kyrie but Brandon Williams has been a decent little addition for y'all. I feel like he shoulda played the whole 4th qtr last night instead of swapping back and forth between him and D'Lo.

Napster was illegal. Artists were within their rights to go after it. This time, all three major labels are officially involved. And if you're an artist signed to them, your hands are tied.

These major labels decided that not giving artists a fair share of streaming revenue wasn't enough. Let's take things up a notch and license all of the music to a brand new app that'll let users rip songs to shreds using AI. It's an absolute sickness.

Jadakiss taking the De La Dunk right off his foot and handing it to Pos w/ a Sharpie for him to sign it means something to me. πŸ₯Ή

If you read this really quick, it sounds like you actually got through auditions to be on the show.

She Was Once a Rising Star in Political Media. Then She Had an Affair With RFK Jr.β€”and It Gets Weirder From There. From affairs with big-name politicians to a MySpace-era pop song, the journalist’s comeback attempt is hitting a few bumps along the way.

this is certainly going to keep me out of heaven, but here's my exhaustive breakdownβ€”with fresh reporting on some past artifactsβ€”of the recent drama surrounding Olivia "Livvy" Nuzzi, from RFK Jr. to the comeback tour to the new allegations to the rediscovery of "Jailbait" slate.com/business/202...

It sucks that the first thing I thought of when I read "robots in your bloodstream" is the 2002 novel Prey by Michael Crichton. It's a great book. But it's also sci-fi/horror and a cautionary tale about advancements in nanotech. It seemed very far fetched back then. Now look at where we are.
