Sont les mots qui vont très bien ensemble. You already look strong, so a v-neck dress and shoulder length hair only make you look like a linebacker. A shorter bob and rounded neckline would have rocked. Fire your stylist and lets keep it Jackie O.
in 2006 I went to Glasslands (a venue for emerging NYC bands in Williamsburg formerly know as Glasshouse) for the Ofays reunion show. While the next band was setting up I walked into the back gallery and on the wall I saw a caricature in blue marker of a Black man with big lips, a bone through his nose, holding a chicken leg with an arrow pointing to the drawing connecting it to the word Nigger. At first I was confused, looking for the ironic artistic statement contained therein. I mean, I was in Williamsburg - ground zero for ironic expression, but then it dawned on me that many of the people in the room were Rednecks, dressed as Hipsters. Needless to say, this instructional video would have been very useful at the time.
Hip NYC is getting a bit too xenophobic lately. Recent transplants should understand where they fit into the rich lineage of vanguard White NYC counterculture - the Beat, Hippie, Punk, Grunge and early (circa 1999) Hipster movements were much more fearless.
We have developed a rubric that estimates the education level needed to understand each rhyme as well as, rates the artistic sophistication employed through the metaphors, similes, cultural references, consonantal/vocalic alliteration and overall pattern of each rhyme. We calculate the final score by averaging the syntactic (readability measures) and semantic (artistic sophistication) scores of each rhyme. On a scale from 0 (illiterate) to 20 (post-graduate degree). Visit the Hip-Hip Word Count.

30ish, came of age in a multicultural 90’s world, sons of Steve Jobs, indicative of Obama’s progressive, wealthy, educated, White, male demographic talked about by the cable media pundits. Rumors of a regime shift, away from a Presidency funded by the old guard oil guys, toward one funded by the ex-hippies and hip nouveau riche tech guys.
Classic documentary on late 70’s Black and Puerto Rican gangs in NYC.

What happened to the time when artists spoke out political? When they used network media as a platform to express their views? When media outlets weren’t owned by one of 3 holding companies that sterilized on air performances making sure there weren’t any conflicts of interest with the sponsoring commercial breaks? Arsenio talked to the artists long enough for their intelligence to show, with a soft spot for Hip Hop artists. Check Arsenio’s YouTube resume
