Not that Jay ever put out an album that trumped Illmatic, but he did expound on the above song, and handled that sample with great care. Also, caviar is to 1998 as Lexus is to 1996. Which is true, although I'm not sure what that says. Yeah.
@takeouteurotrash: You can imbed the video directly by clicking the "You Tube" logo at the bottom of your comment box and dropping the URL in there instead. Like this.
@takeouteurotrash: After being away from commenting for about a year, I literally had to send Gabriel an e-mail to figure out how to make a comment. The commenting page looks completely different from how it used to, and I couldn't figure out what the hell "Share" was referring to. So, you are not alone.
(I still don't remember how to imbed a hyperlink - inserting a link beneath text - so if you figure that one out, let me know.)
Who thought remaking Karate Kid was a good idea? With an 11 yr old? Fail!
Also, Beyonce is not only gorgeous and talented, she works her ass off and has a great sense of humor. If JZ screws that up he will be the dumbest man alive.
While I'm itchy to get out of the house and sit on the internet in a different location for a nine hour stretch, I must admit that I'm nervous about going in tomorrow -- my spider sense has been tingling all weekend that I might be getting a pink slip for Christmas.
@Foster Kamer: Thank you. I think that should the axe fall, I'm going to survive the holidays by whoring myself out to lonely empty nesters. For a low fee, I'll come over towards the middle of the holidays to make cookies and wrap presents. I'll listen to all of the stories about how Aunt Barbara's just going to burn the ham again this year, and I'll help address the holiday cards. For an additional fee, I'll turn up on the 24th in an ugly sweater for a cup of cocoa. For just a little more, I'll call on January 1, just to wish a happy and healthy 2010.
Biden was the most inscrutable choice, ever, for VP. Instead of "change" Obama brought out an old hack, who had trouble with both truth telling, even during the campaign, and with inserting his foot into his mouth. Oh, to know what kind of negotiation that was, to get him on the ticket---except, perhaps to allay terrified old white guys who feared a woman and a (half)black man on the ticket would bring on the apocalypse. #joebiden
I wandered into the kitchen and considered for, like, the tenth time that day, how hard it would be to, like, pee into a funnel or something and then into, like, my boss's coffee. He was, like, such a fucking cretin.
"Hey!" he, like, yelled from the office. "How long does it take you to get me a cup of coffee, you dozy posh cow? You're not trying to find a goddamn funnel again, are you?"
I settled for opening a cupboard door and, like, writing "Ricky Van Veen has a really small peen" in the dust with my, like, finger.

@Motoko Kusanagi: Exactly. Wonder how she got the gig. It's not like she has to worry about paying the rent or landing something else if this doesn't pan out. #beeshaffer
@FormerEnglishMajor: Well, I know virtually nothing about Bee, other than she has a dumb name and a creepy mother, but she could have very easily gone the Trump route: gotten a job working for Mommy and written a book on how to "succeed" at "Vogue."
I'm not really defending Bee (seriously, what's with rich WASPs and ridiculous names anyway?). I'm just pointing out that she didn't go the nepotism route. And true, that's not much of an accomplishment -- unless you compare her to the 3 Trumps, Rob Speyer and Valerie Peltier, Aerin Lauder, Celerie Kemble and Boykin Curry (see what I mean about the dumb names?), Billy Macklowe, etc. #beeshaffer
apparently I am in the minority, but I love Joe Biden! I think he's like the lovable Steve Urkel of the White House. He comes in, says stupid stuff, knocks shit over, and is like "Did I do that?" Oh Joe. #joebiden

But I guess the women who date him think his bank account is.
