people in high places are in on the killtaker

like my brother erin, i too went to a party on saturday night. i spent the first part of the party sizing up all the boys in the room. but natani and i couldn't settle on the fittest. i thought it was the guy who looked like a hotter spike jonze. natani thought it was this guy who didn't look like spike jonze. then this other kid showed up that blew spike jonze . . . away.

then there was rollerskating(?).

then there was a dance party.

i do not hate dancing but i usually hate the music most people like to dance to. this party was no exception. no mia, no dub narcotic, no gang of four, no prince, no mos def, etc. instead it was all rapture and le tigre remixes (why wouldn't you just play le tigre?) and other stuff i never want to hear again. i guess they wanted to crunk it up by pumping some so-called dirty rap. actually the rap wasn't as bad as it usually is at these kind of dance parties. anyway, i'm dancing my little heart out and a song comes on that i think i love. actually i didn't just think this. i said something about loving this song. i was stoked and my dancing was reaching interstellar levels when i realized the song i thought and said i liked was actually 50 cent and the game. this really confused and depressed me. why would i love anything done by anyone related to g-unit? worse, i'd already admitted to liking this song in front of like ten people who i want to not hate me. so i had a panic attack (my third of the night).

the next day i was telling a friend about my social blunder. she reminded me that i did like that song, except i like the clipse version of the song.

so clipse has this record were they take the beats from all your (not my) favorite songs and then rap over them. the idea is that the beats are fresh but the rhymes aren't cutting it. they make songs that could be cool (but are ruined by 50 cent) cool. you're probably wondering how they don't get sued. i have a theory: when the original artists hear how good the songs are with clipse, they're put to shame. that and hip hop is all about taking existing music and making it better.

i hate it when people that like g-unit when they've never heard clipse. i hate people worse when they like g-unit and have heard of clipse.

and the guys in clipse are twins and like best friends with pharrell. i wish little skateboard p was at that party; he would have even been hotter than the spike jonze guy.
