…Wes Anderson doesn’t make “whiteâ€Â movies. You win. They are incredibly diverse. Stop with the e-mails. And this should tell you something about standing in lines: I was waiting in line at the book store, and overheard two progressive housewives talking about Cornel West “rappingâ€Â on Real Time with Bill Maher. They referred to it as “really cool.â€Â I incorrectly figured that they knew the difference between Dr. Cornel West and Michael Eric Dyson (author of over-academic Hip-Hop books that I don’t want to read and a man that finds the existence of Benjamin Franklin biographies to be “racistâ€Â), the latter of whom DID recently make a complete ass of himself on the show, rapping about Alexander Hamilton being a “pimp.â€Â Maybe Cornel West dropped some science on Bill Maher as well, though I don’t feel like IM-DIBBING him to find out (he did in fact, put out a Hip-Hop album this year). My style of blogournalism includes using misguided strangers as primary sources. That’s what you’re going to get here at failedpilot.com
I did enjoy Maher referring to 90% of Hip-Hop as “affirmative action for the ego.â€Â Duh, but nicely put.
