where the fuck is Kanye when you need him?

Outlaw
When it comes to Hip Hop/Rap music I'm old-school because, well, I'm old. I was one of those pale fellows mixing it up with the crowd at Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five shows in '83 and I have a nostalgic soft spot for the more innocent and melodic "songs" from my youth. Please don't think of me as a prude or high minded scold who Rights-off this vibrant and important (in my view) category of music just because I've lived long enough to be there at the beginning and watch the full evolution/devolution of the genre. As far as today's Rap Music scene is concerned I'm neither East Coast or West Cost but align myself with the Dirty South and truth tellers like T.I. (even if he did have to take it back) and his innovative enterprises like Blackstock. I'm down with almost anything out of Hotlanta - Outkast, B.o.B. (I love anyone who believes the earth is flat) and keep going down to Three 6 Mafia and still further down to the Crescent City where you'll find what I think is the greatest voice in all of Rap music - I'm talking about Lil Wayne. A brilliant artist in his own right who has crafted memorable tunes like Lollipop it is his collaborations with other Rap artists (there are many) that draws the sharp contrast between the Lil giant and his lilliputian compatriots. Two of these stand out - the first being Lil Wayne's work with B.o.B on Strange Clouds where he tops the top dog and delivers a knockout against, let's face it, a truly talented collaborator. The second is more complex and requires some explanation because the Eminem song No Love (one of his best IMHO) gives Lil Wayne the lead-in and then uses his singular talents to accentuate or emphasize important moments in Eminem's rhymes which make up the second verse of the song. Now I'm not going to claim that Lil Wayne out-raps Eminem in this song because as Slim Shady points out "I'm standing on my Monopoly board, that means I'm on top of my game and it don't stop till my hip don't hop anymore" and in this case he's absolutely right. Eminem is raw, very funny, sometimes maudlin but when it comes to the Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers aspect of spitting out rhymes this dude has few equals and No Love shows off this verbal alacrity with a "top of my game" KO. But I will say that Lil Wayne's shiftless and menacing lead-in lays waist to the conscious mind and clears the rink, so to speak, for Eminem to do his thing in the second round. From the opening line - "Throw dirt on me and grow a wild flower but it's 'fuck the world', get a child out her" the stage is set and Lil Wayne's delivery - the voice - is just incredible and creates a sharp contrast between the first and second verse of the song. Check it out:


Why am I even writing about this? Well, if you've been watching the news over the past week or so you've probably heard that Kanye West loves Trump (as a person) and believes in free thought (KOTCB readers already know this about Kanye see West World) which has people questioning his sanity and hating on him for real. I've questioned Kanye's sanity myself - NOT for his Trump Love but for his immersion in the Kardashian Project because when I see what these broads did to Bruce Jenner it takes my breath away and I wouldn't get near them, but that's me. Of course Kanye loves Trump because the guy who wrote Gold Digger (Stormy Daniels), Stronger (Jim Comey), Can't Tell Me Nothing (#NeverTrump), All Of The Lights (Syria) and Jesus Walks (this broken world) knows Trump's soul in a very deep and meaningful way. Lil Wayne doesn't even know who Donald Trump is. Eminem will Hate Trumps Love forever and has gone all in, regardless of what his fans think, on running down the POTUS and speaking truth to power but, much to Em's dismay, the power isn't speaking back.
“I feel like he’s not paying attention to me,” said Eminem, on Shade 45, shortly after the BET Freestyle. “I was kinda waiting for him to say something, and for some reason, he didn’t say anything.”
The "reason" that Trump isn't taking phone to hand and tweeting an obligatory insult to Eminem is because Trump Loves Eminem's Hate and enjoys watching Mathers twist in the wind and have, what appears to be, a psychotic episode in reaction to the MAGA agenda. When the average Trump voter thinks of Eminem the image is of a degenerate wigger who's made millions ($190M) filling their children's, and now grandchildren's (he's been rapping for 30 years) , head with poison. In other words, Eminem is the problem that Trump was elected to solve and the fact that Em hates him and everything he represents is confirmation that America made the right choice in Nov. 2016. The ironic part, for me anyway, is that Eminem's "No Love" could (and probably should) be used as a replacement for the Stone's "You Can't Always Get What You Want" as the Trump theme song for the 2020 campaign. If that seems a strange idea to you then take a minute and read the lyrics and you'll see that word for word it represents the Trump presidency and his victory over all Eminemies (Dems, GOP old guard, #FakeNews, Deep State, whores & fools of every stripe).

It's a little too late to say that you're sorry now
You kicked me when I was down
But what you say just (don't hurt me)
That's right (don't hurt me)
And I don't need you (no more)
Don't want to see you (no more)
Bitch, you get (no love)
You showed me nothin' but hate, you ran me into the ground
But what comes around goes around
I don't need you (don't hurt me)
That's right (don't hurt me)
And I don't need you (no more)
Don't want to see you (no more)
Bitch, you get (no love, no love, no love, no love)
Bitch, you get (no love, no love, no love)
And I don't need you (no more); get 'em!

As for Ye, well, he's going through a red-pill transformation and it's blowing everyone's mind - including his:

And that changing of the mind has pitted Mr. West against The People where Kanye speaks for himself and the voice of The People is represented by, you guessed it, T. I. who, as I've said many times, is one of my favorite rappers and might well find his own mind changing over time. There's no telling how it will all play out, but the fact that this conversation is taking place outside the walls of the Hoover Institution and the AEI where egg heads have been making these arguments for decades is a positive #MAGA development. Kanye will feel the burn of Progressive Politics retribution but Jesus Walks and I trust that the Lord will protect him.

The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson

She was "sexy", but "too much hard work." I'm a regular Fox & Friends viewer (mostly in protest of the other insipid morning programs like Today and Good Morning America) so over the years I've gotten to know Gretchen Carlson pretty well. Stuck between Steve and Brian she always seemed a prudish scold with an irritating, self-righteous demeanor that I simply put up with because I figured some people in the Fox audience actually liked her persona. It was obvious that Steve and Brian did not, but they were stuck with her like so many talking heads and had to make the best of it - which they did. Besides, she was no worse than any of the other women on morning show TV - I mean, you're only going to find a certain kind of person to do this kind of work and that kind of person is the Gretchen Carlson kind. Then, one day, she was gone and replaced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the F&F ratings began to climb, and climb and climb - in two months view

The Pop-Tarts Bowl: Frauds v. Fakers

In the Techno-Fascist Imperium the "Holidays" festivities start on Columbus Day, when the Halloween candy pops up, and end New Years Day with college football Bowl games, black-eyed peas and collard greens. To be clear, the Imperium doesn't celebrate Columbus Day, au contraire, the Indigenous Peoples' Day psyop has been pushed hard by the IC for the past 50 years of failure but the candy... THE CANDY. This year's IPD got turned up to eleven when the colonizers of America's 51st state got kidnapped, raped and murdered by some indigenous maniacs on Sukkot 10/7 and, as a result, soured the festive '23 Holiday mood. Hey, we soldiered on, as it were, and kept on celebrating while the world burned: Halloween - Big for children and weirdos. Thanksgiving - Focus on God, country and family. Hannukkah - Jewish assimilation. Xmas - Santa Claus and gifts. Kwanzaa - Black Lives Matter. I'd call them Happy Holidays if it wasn't  a neo-Nazi dog whistle  to vocal

Lose This Skin Mika

I've been tempted to post something on the KOTCB blog since the day the Elvis from Queens tweeted about Mika's bleeding face and the ensuing media meltdown flooded the broadcast airways and Internet with gunk. But every frigg'n day @POTUS lets loose another tweet or 2 that usurps whatever I was going to say the day before so I've just been waiting and watching and loving every minute of it. With Sunday's napalm strike he might have finally brought them to their knees - but there's always tomorrow. The latest tweet was immediately condemned by journalists, who said Trump seemed to be promoting physical violence against the media, while a Republican lawmaker said the president was trying to "weaponize distrust" through his postings. "Promoting physical violence" or a tactic to "weaponize distrust" don't explain it folks - this is total war waged by a pachyderm with old, scared hide who's been beaten and whipped for so
