"So low that I don't get high no more. I'm hummin' and whistlin' to those not deserving. I've stumbled and lived every word.
Was I working just way too hard?" - Andre 3000, Solo (Reprise)
Today we're talmbout Work Work Work Work Work, ugh work.
And it seems it even has Andre 3000 down in his feature on Frank Ocean's new album.
This episode you get to learn a bit more about the Two Wise Jawns -- our woes, insecurities, and dreams regarding career and ambition and success.
Basically we're all Kanye, even if you miss the old Kanye.
Hot Topics!
- Frank Ocean byke with Blond/e, Endless, about 27 artsy zines, a Tumblr letter or several, a staircase, a long-form short, a video diary on the mountain tops, more tears, and 20+ pounds of muscle. He dropped enough content, we're confident we won't hear from for another 20 years.
- Ryan Lochte's "no wayyyyy bro" international scandal of scams.
- Yung Joc, inspired by Locthe's silver do, made an appointment at Shonda's Salon and we laughed and laughed.
- Nate Parker and how "patriarchal smugness" will ruin both a good thing and Morgan's belief in an intellectual, refined, beautiful brotha. We knew Nate was too good to be true!
- NFL season is upon us. Colin Kaepernick had a song on his spirit and it wasn't the Star Spangled Banner.
-Along those lines the 2nd Amendment gets parsed even further as we discuss Leslie Jones vs. Milo Yiannopoulos and his legions of trolls; University of Chicago's stand against "trigger warnings" and "safe spaces" in Welcome Letter to incoming students.
