Just How Offensive are Kanye’s ‘New Slaves’ Lyrics?

Kanye West SNL 2013 Kanye West performed two new songs from his upcoming album, Yeezus, on Saturday Night Live last weekend.

One, “Black Skinhead” sounded oddly like a darker version of the non-Ke$ha rap part of Flo Rida’s “Right Round.”

The other, “New Slaves,” is Kanye’s hateful ode to capitalistic society, injustice, and the paparazzi.

For shock value, Kanye draws a few ridiculous comparisons to celebrity and slavery.

“I’ll move my family out the country so you can’t see where I stay, so go grab the reporters so I can smash their recorders” he sings.

Teenage ‘Modern Family’ Star Makes More in One Year Than You Will in Four Lifetimes

Rico Rodriguez has come a long way since the pre-Modern Family days of bit parts on Cory in the House and iCarly.

14-year-old Rodriguez’s new contract entitles him to over $75,000 per episode for his work as Manny Delgado on ABC’s hit show in the current fourth season and an additional $10,000 per episode for each year the show continues.

You know what this means? The kid gets paid around $2 million a year to look deep into the mesmerizing koi pond known as Sofia Vergara’s boobs.

(I don’t understand the popularity of this show, but it at least seems better than Two and a Half Men.)

Lena Dunham Defends White ‘Girls’

Lena Dunham has come to the defense of the show she created, writes, directs and stars in. HBO’s Girls (produced by Judd Apatow) has come under fire for being only about white women who don’t have to work.

These “rich white girl” complaints are easy to dismiss. I honestly couldn’t care less about diversity because so many shows with a variety of skin tones seem to have cast that way to avoid criticisms of this very nature. And who exactly is concerned about this? I’m guessing white women and men who caught half an episode or less. Was Friends diverse? Sex And The City? The Cosby Show? Entourage? Seinfeld? God no.

Gimme an ice pick to the eye every time I hear someone making a hullabaloo over Lena Dunham unless it’s because she’s original, funny and not afraid to “go there.” Continue reading “Lena Dunham Defends White ‘Girls’” →

Nicki Minaj Prefers Lippy Paupers To Cocky Princes

In the latest issue of Cosmopolitan magazine Nick Minaj let the world know that men who try to blow her mind and say they’re the best at this moment in life with their super blazin’ wallets make her dungeon dragon sad.

Enough snarling Minajian song references, this is serious business. Nicki says:

“I may be smiling in their face, but my antenna is up…When they’re trying to show off their cash or their watch, it’s an immediate turn-off.”

Then she put her pink shoe in her mouth a little bit by spouting a little too much confidence, kind of like those same guys who flaunt their benjamins to her:

“I’m around millionaires and athletes every day who think, ‘All I need to do is get in a room with Nicki Minaj’ and they’re gonna leave with my number…You can’t run game on a rapper. I’m always 10 steps ahead of you.”
