Yeezus! (review)

by Appollonia K.

When I first heard that Kanye West’s new album was about to drop I was excited to see what he had in store for us. Not only because Kanye is an amazing producer and unique emcee, but because Watch The Thrones was so disappointing to me. Considering the perfectionist that ‘Ye is, I was certain that whatever he had as the follow-up would be better than the former, experimental, and pushing boundaries.

Then Kanye released the name of the album, Yeezus. The sheer audacity of the title is not surprising for a character like Mr. West, but with such a risky choice I felt that he must have something major to back it up. He further perpetuated that sentiment with premiering his video for “New Slaves” on the side of city buildings, and SNL performances of “New Slaves” and “Black Skinhead”. The hype for the album became immense, projecting a half-million units in its first week.

Spike Lee’s Michael Jackson Documentary: Bad 25

Every subgenre needs its classic, and so Spike Lee’s Bad 25 is what amounts to the greatest Behind the Music episode of all time. Frenetically paced, ingeniously constructed and brimming with hilarious anecdotes, the look back on the creation of 1987’s Bad (the one that had the enormous task of following Thriller), elevates the rock doc to an art form. At over two hours in length, what could have felt like a bloated obituary is unmistakably alive. Although it’s unlikely that it would have been assembled were it not for the death of its primary subject, Bad 25 proves that Jackson’s legacy has nearly made him immortal. — Gawker

Who Can We Run To // #‎3DNATEE‬ #Blacklivesmatter

Over a quarter million views and counting… Thank you for understanding this piece… I caught a lot of flack for being naked in the video (which was done to symbolize our current state of vulnerability, loneliness, the way blacks were belittled, beaten, and bartered) but some people couldn’t look pass it. Some people couldn’t look pass the fact that the video was vulgar and graphic… Well… I cant apologize for any of that… I cant apologize for the truth… I can only thank those who understand, for understanding…
