To-ist

Latest obsession: this series of videos.



In other news, I'm definitely enjoying Kanye's new album.

Additionally, I find "Black Friday" (L'il Kim's Nicki Minaj diss) highly entertaining. Yes, I really enjoy Nicki Minaj, and yes L'il Kim is getting a bit desperate (haven't heard much from her since "Magic Stick"), but she lays the chirps on thick.

Things I Love Right Now

1. "The Comeback" - Lisa Kudrow stars as Valerie Cherish in this HBO 1-season satire of reality TV. What can I say about it? Well, my friend generously gave me the show as a prezzie recently and so I've been working my way through it. I've got about 3-4 episodes to go and it is without question one of the funniest and best TV shows I've ever watched. It's painful to watch at many points per episode (Kudrow plays a sort of washed up star making her comeback, hence the show's name), but that's a testament to the incredible writing. It is so funny and raw and uncomfortable, and Lisa Kudrow. I think the best way I can describe how good she is is by saying you forget she's Phoebe. She kills the character of Valerie Cherish. She IS Valerie Cherish. It's amazing. I love it and can't wait to finish it, only to watch it all over again.
   
   
2. Nicki Minaj - This girl is so beyond good. I haven't heard such solid, powerful female rapping since Missy, and I love Missy. Nicki has got her own level though. She's funny, raw, an incredibly distinct style, and she is TAL-EN-TED. I love her rap in "Bottoms Up" by Trey Songz (made me fall in love with her), but my latest Minaj jam is her verse in Kanye West's "Monsta". Unfortunately embedding was disabled, but check out tha vid, you'll be glad ya did.
   

Bottoms Up!

Really really into this jam right now. Originally I was just into Nicki Minaj's rap (which is BANGING hot!!!), but now the whole song has grown on me!



Nicki Minaj is HOT, btw. What's her deal? She's got skills that I haven't seen since Missy. I DL'ed her mix tape. I gotsta get on that.
