Kill the Night

“Whatever you do, don’t be bored. This is absolutely the most exciting time we could have possibly hoped to be alive. And things are just starting.”

The Joy of Books

This is 10x amazing.

Drake vs. Common Light-skinned nigga wars pt. 2

Okay, can we discuss this please?

Drake’s verse is mean. alot of sublims. alot of talk about Serena Williams (Commons ex)

alot of references to power players that Common knows, etc. The opening line was killer too “I hate when the gods get to actin like broads

but Common’s verse is straight to the jugular with an open rusted switchblade.

Canada dry though? *dead*
*runs screaming from room*

“Most rappers don’t know diamonds are minerals, that they’re  crystalline, and that’s what gives a diamond its shine. They talk about  gold and they don’t even know it’s an element.’’ —GZA (aka The Genius)
Wu-Tang Clan’s GZA was in Boston last week to give a lecture at the Harvard Black Men’s Forum. While there he added a three-day tour of MIT to his trip to meet with scientists, professors, and students seeking inspiration for his next album. He spent an hour talking with Norton author David Kaiser (pictured right), author of How the Hippies Saved Physics: Science, Counterculture, and the Quantum Revival. Here’s a few things they discussed: 
Quantum Theory (especially Bell’s Theorem)
The Nature of Time (in the context of Einstein’s relativity)
Black Holes, Wormholes, and Possibilities for Time Travel
Cosmology
Guys, I think the next album could be…out of this world.

Thanks to Alissa Walker for posting this video: Ice Cube Celebrates the Eames. So good. Of course he studied architectural drafting before he joined NWA.

“This is going green 1949-style b!tch.”


From Katharine Hepburn’s 1981 interview with Barbara Walters:
Hepburn: “I have not lived as a woman. I have lived as a man…I’ve just done what I damn well wanted to and I made enough money to support myself. And I ain’t afraid of being alone.”
Walters: “Is that why also you wear pants?”
Hepburn: “No, I just wore pants because they’re comfortable.”
Walters: “Do you ever wear a skirt, by the way?”
Hepburn: “I have one.”
Walters: “You have one.”
Hepburn: “I’ll wear it to your funeral.”
Good God, what a woman.
