Subject: i need you to call me
To: Joe Coscarelli
office: 212-475-1900. we have the opportunity to do something very exciting.And so this thing started. Tony came over to my desk, asked me if I had anything, and that was the first thing I did when he walked away.
I owe him many thanks. This isn’t the whole story:
Congrats to Foster and Joe on their first cover story. It’s about gossip.
The joke is not even in the tags.
This Fiona Apple blurb is one of the best blurbs I’ve ever read.
I just want to say that Gucci Mane’s latest mixtape, Jewelry Selection, has the best title. Hearing DJ Holiday say it over and over — the joy that brings me — is almost worth all of the screaming on the tape. Everyone knows Gucci can be incomprehensible, but turning that around and using your own pronunciation quirks in a pun is golden.
His last album was called The State vs. Radric Davis; his upcoming record is called The Appeal.
That said, I do wonder why Gucci is even bothering to put out an album. The old model will never work for him. What will work is selling “NO DJ,” high-quality versions of his mixtapes online.
ANYWAY, I HEARD THAT THE KINGDOM COME I HEARD IS NOT THE REAL SHIT. OR THAT YOU ARE GOING TO BE MIXING SOME CAM BEEF IN WITH THEM GRIMEY-ASS CRATE AND BARREL CUTS. WELL, AT LEAST THAT’S WHAT THE INTERNET TOLD ME.
…
I’M JUST ONE IRISH-JEW IN THIS FUCKING COLD WORLD, DUN. YOU COULD MAKE A RAP OPERA WITH SHOWBIZ & AG AND THAT STILL WOULDN’T DIG YOU OUT OF, “WE HAD TO SPLIT UP LIKE BEN AND J-LO.” DID YOU SCRIBBLE THAT SHIT ON A COCKTAIL NAPKIN AT SOHO HOUSE IN 2002!?!!? DID YOUR BOOTLEGGER JUST GIVE YOU COPY OF JERSEY GIRL!?!? THERE’S A WAR GOING ON OUTSIDE, B!
IF THIS SHIT ABOUT THE FAKE LEAK IS TRUE, I HOPE IT MEANS YOU’RE DROPPING THE “MILKSHAKE (FIRE ISLAND REMIX)” USHER SHIT. THAT SHIT IS FELONIOUS.
BY THE WAY, HDNET IS UP A POINT AND A HALF. HOLLER AT YOUR E-TRADE WEED CARRIER. YOU FUCKER.
MTV is trend-hopping, make no mistake, but they’ve always played a role in bringing “hipsters” — of varying stripes and levels of authenticity — to the masses. Though they’ve accidentally gotten it right a few times, they’ve consistently contributed to a mainstream misunderstanding of What Makes a Hipster. Through the years, it looks a little something like this:
Look at what you’ve made me.
