bradford cox met soulja boy
Vice: What was it like having Soulja Boy freestyle at you for a whole shoot?Bradford Cox: It was so rad. He ruled and his crew ruled. They would dance and act out what he was freestyling about like he had this troupe of interpretive dancers. They also pointed at him a lot. Like, “Here he is—listen to this guy”.
What was he rapping about?
You know, money, girls, guns and abstract ideas about cars. He also kept referring to weed as “cushington”.
What do you think of his music?
I might have dismissed it initially if my first impression had not been meeting the guy in person and seeing that he was a sincere and generally cool guy, but after a little research I’ve decided it rules. I also think it’s bullshit that all these people are accusing him of “killing” hip-hop. Not that my opinion on hip-hop is really that important or valid seeing as how I am a white kid from Marietta, but if he just wants to have a good time, hang out with his friends, make good music and be successful, what’s wrong with that?
If it had been a speed date how would you rate Soulja Boy?
Pretty sweet. I would say he was a good date, and I’d like to “see him again” or “stay friends”. [via]
from the white house to the media
in keeping with the politics theme, check out this graph of bush's cronies now in major media spots.[wtf] toby keith's a democrat; likes obama
According to the Associated Press, the controversial country star behind the pro-war track "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue" is not a Republican, but rather a Democrat in hawk's clothing. Even stranger, he's not a McCain fan. He likes the other guy.As for Obama, "I think he's the best Democratic candidate we've had since Bill Clinton," Keith confessed to the AP. "And that's coming from a Democrat." [wired]
