...just pretending to be the great Wizard of Wall Street. He did, however, make it clear that anyone was "free to withdraw part or all of their money" at quarterly withdrawal dates, which was a nice, reassuring touch. Giving more comfort, Chais rather breezily wrote that everything would be fine, that his son, a lawyer by training and manager of a venture-capital fund, was one of "the most thoughtful and honorable men" he knew.

I guess it’s a fitting setting for Kanye to pick up a brush and paint a portrait of Hilson as Cleopatra, which manages to look like neither. Needless to say, fine art isn’t the currency of a hip-hop video, and Kanye’s Da Vinci act soon ends. What follows is some semblance of plot. Kanye broods, raves, and rants about Hilson’s new boo (Ne-Yo) and finally engages said boyfriend...
