Jamaica Kinkaid being interviewed for Time.com
She's amazingly candid (she wears pajamas all day and eats in bed. Describes her room as "revolting." In other words our kind of lady), and has such a great backstory (went from being a NYC Nanny to award-winning novelist, most notably for me, Annie John). And the braces! Aww I don't know how appropriate it is to describe a woman in her dotage such as her as "cute" but she just is.
Love this video with us and then read her books.Â
HIP HOP VIDEO OF THE DAY: GIGGS & WRETCH
Everyone in the world needs to fuck with Giggs. All. Night. Long.
THREE BEST HIP HOP VIDEOS TODAY
A$AP Rocky's debut album is about to drop. I've heard it, and, WOW. This video makes you want A$AP to be your best friend.
A$AP Rocky, again plus some others: 2 Chainz, Drake and Kendrick. 2 Chainz is 2 Chainz (more on him below) Drake looks like he's a tourist in Jamaica, no offense but get it together. The best part of this video is A$AP Rocky and Kendrick Lamar, excuse the overused out of fashion word SWAGGGGG, but these brothers are styling HARD.Â
The thing about this, and about 2 Chainz in general is that he reminds one of a Dave Chappelle show skit. Every single video of his looks like he was paid to be a parody rapper. So, obviously, that, is, genius.
Our buddy Tom Koehler, is exhibiting his dope artwork and sculptures at 448 Jefferson St., Brooklyn, NY 7 till 11PM ONE NIGHT ONLY NOT TO BE MISSED.

Politics of Texting
If you just take their number Youâre fooling yourself that youâre the one in control when really you're not. You are, in as much as you can chose when to text them. However once that message is sent you're at the mercy of them. Fuck. You unintentionally initiate a boring power battle, which the other person involved loves. I've been on both ends, and itâs clear which end is better off. If they take your number This is my favorite. Recently I was at dinner with friends. My friends are married, I'm not so they proceeded to try and set me up with the waiter by leaving my number on the check. This is not a romantic story, he never called me. But the point is, it really didn't matter. If they donât want it that's fine. If you take each others This options really allows either of you to suffer or enjoy both positions above. However, there are the rare occasions where you have a solid understanding of each other. Meaning you either text each other at the same degree or not at all. No information exchange whatsoever This is the safest option and the most BALLER. This connection ends here. I have things to do. PEACE.
We are happy to announce that  #tradge is now defined on the Urban Dictionary
It wasnât until Jones adopted the Afrikaans working-class persona, Ninja, that he hit pay dirt. And it is ironic that while Ninja borrows heavily from male, âcolouredâ, Afrikaans-speaking working-class stereotypes from the Cape, most Cape Afrikaans and Xhosa rappers have not achieved local and international success on the same scale as him. While ambiguous, Die Antwoordâs allusion to both working-class white and âcolouredâ stereotypes are cultural appropriation.
Die Antwoordâs revival of blackface does South Africa no favours from guardian.co.uk via Findings. (via howtobeblack)

How You Gonna Hate On Gentrification When It's Your Fault: Leh Go
This is addressed to those who are in my demographic: post-college hipster types? I donât know.
Living in Williamsburg, the gentrification mecca, it's very common to hear cries of mostly white residents complaining about how gentrified the neighborhood is and how expensive things have become. I'm sorry, but aren't we having this conversation in a bar that used to be a barber shop in a neighborhood that use to not be quite so affluent? We are full-fledged participants in this processâto think otherwise is to be in denial, if not a total asshole.
Besides those in denial, youâve got those who ooze white guilt. If you feel that bad about it, then move to the Upper East or West Side. I'm pretty sure theyâve always belonged to white people (although nothing in the U.S. ever really has). Someone once lamented to me about how bad they felt about moving to Bed Stuy. It was irritating for many reasons but mainly because I couldn't understand where they wanted the conversation to go. Were they looking for a response like, "OMG I gentrify too! So glad we can support each other!â? It seemed like a dire attempt to fabricate an internal struggle that, just for the record, no one is going to give a shit about. Both of these states of mind, guilt and denial, lead to the quest for authenticityâchasing after âthe hoodâ or the âold New York.â The former makes me cringe. To those who proudly announce that they live in Bushwick, as if it suggests something daring in their character, I ask: would you live in East New York? No. Would you live in the South Bronx? No. There is nothing unique about moving to a place where there isnât a majority of white people. Rather, whatâs important is the fact that a larger number of white people are moving to a neighborhood: this is the process of gentrification. This is what matters to people: not the lack of resources or white people, but the fact that wealth and whiteness is on its way. If this wasnât the case people would happily be moving to East New York or the South Bronx, where the rent is way cheaper. Your quest for authenticity is therefore misguided and will never be achieved. As for the latter vision of discovering âthe old New York,â I really cannot get over how funny this is. âOld New Yorkâ really wasnât that great, especially for the disenfranchised. We are definitely reaping some of the benefits of work people have done before us, and some of us are creating benefits that people after us will enjoy. But I guess people are longing for the cheaper times, when apparently people were more creative because spending less money is romantic or something. But isnât that what Berlin is for? To put it simply for those who move to NYC: you are not the victims of gentrification, you are its protagonists. Those who have grown up here have watched it change and have actually been affected, whether by being priced out of their apartments or no longer feeling welcome in their own homes. Gentrification is too often talked about as something abstract thatâs happening around us and not something that we are responsible for. NYC is more expensive than ever, but that's not going to change. You are not just paying rent for your roomâyouâre paying rent to live in NYC, so to move to this city from somewhere else and complain about the prices is redundant. Just don't come. After all, people in my demographic are broke but never poor. If times get hard you can move back home.
