...thing of perfection.”Believe me, I know it’s hard to sway all you crazy magazine-readers out there. You’re set in your ways! I have been myself under the constant pressure and tyranny of those who refuse to accept mainstream entertainment in their lives, and I learned to steele myself against criticism. Yet, we cannot live in a world without standards.Embrace your Brad. Love your Brad. But please, if you want to make this world a better place, join Defamer.com in accusing Brad of being part of an elaborate...
...have that common ground,” she says.

Is he forgetting the 1960s riots, led by unemployed and disenfranchised blacks, that engulfed the U.S.? I don't call that self-reformation. When black people took to American streets, they finally got a little respect. I suspect that the unemployed Arab and black youths in France want nothing...
...bananas/Man, you walking where the animals live!” That’s just five seconds of hotness within a blazing three minutes and nineteen seconds of pure fire. This is the head-twisting, double-time yet lyrically substantial spitting that makes the Twistas and Drag-Ons of mainstream hip-hop so redundant.But Kweli can’t always pull it off. One of the most interesting things about Black Star was that he and Mos took the aesthetic of old-school rap and made it sound fresh and new. Not so on this album?...
