Best of 2011: Jay-Z and Kanye West want us to 'Watch the Throne'

Best of 2011: Jay-Z and Kanye West want us to ‘Watch the Throne’

Jay-Z and Kanye West are the George Clooney and Brad Pitt of the hip-hop world. They have balance of swagger, talent, and cockiness that we either hate or love. They also tend to have a way of showing the world that they are better than us without shoving it in our face…well, at least Hova...

Jay-Z and Kanye West Cause a Ruckus in the new “Otis” Video

In their new Spike Jonze-directed video for “Otis”, Jay-Z and Kanye West further prove that they are way cooler than you by deconstructing an expensive car and getting a bunch of girls in booty shorts to go joyriding in an abandoned warehouse district.

‘Watch the Throne,’ ‘True Blood’ and Chico’s: A Hump Day Tweet Report

Workout Song of the Week: ‘H.A.M.’ by Kanye West featuring Jay-Z

Listening to this song while taking my morning run makes me feel like a robot gliding on a rainbow of hip-hop awesomeness. However, when you say the word “HAM” you can’t help but think of a canned ham rather than someone who is as “hard as a motherfucker” — and even with that phrase, you...

Geist Infection: ‘Avenue Q’ Characters and Other Naughty Puppets

Kerri Brackin, Nicky, Rod, and Brent Michael DiRoma from ‘Avenue Q’ (Photo by John Daughtry) Last week, I saw the brilliant and not-too-appropriate-for-children musical Avenue Q and I have to say that it was one of the most magical moments in my musical-going career. It was unbelievably refreshing to see puppets partake in coitus and...

Geist Infection: Psycho and ‘Edgy’ Ballerinas

With the impending release of “Black Swan”, Darren Aronofsky‘s mindfuck of a movie that people are calling “brilliant” and Kanye West‘s epic “Runaway” music video — the ballerinas are quite (zeit)-geisty. Natalie Portman in “Black Swan” (a.k.a. the movie where she has a hot and heavy girl-on-girl scene with Mila Kunis …and don’t forget the...

A Finer Week for Obama, Miley and controversial photo spreads

*French Vogue stirs the controversy pot with some blackface nonsense. Carine Roitfeld better watch her back. *Barack Obama visits San Francisco and we welcome him with open protests. *Miley Cyrus deletes her Twitter account and, in turn, makes me appreciate Jamie Foxx’s radio show from a couple months ago even more. * Jane Lynch on...

Jay-Z knows his fashion labels

Wasn’t it funny how Lil Mama made a fool of herself on Sunday night when she had the bright idea to hop on stage while Jay-Z and Alicia Keys at the VMAs? With that out of the way, I have been dissecting his latest tune, “Run This Town” featuring Rihanna and Kanye “I keep on...
