Timberlake: Too Gangsta For TN

The chasm between right and left gets deeper every day. Politics is a dangerous battlefield, and Nashville, TN is now on the front lines.

Democratic Tennessee Senator Ophelia Ford—a crazy old broad who, after her brother resigned for corruption, stole his seat in a rigged election, got ousted from her seat and then got elected again only months later—recently introduced an urgent resolution to the Senate to honor TN native Justin Timberlake for "his highly successful music career and for his meritorious service to the State of Tennessee."


Republican Senator Raymond Finney, who prefers to spend his time trying to get Creationism taught in schools, was quick to say something along the lines of, DENIED! WE WILL NOT BE PASSING ANY PRETEND, COMPLETELY MEANINGLESS LAWS THAT HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECT ON THE LIVES OF OUR CONSTITUENTS IN HONOR OF THAT DIRTY, POT-SMOKIN', GIRLY-VOICED PRETTY BOY! NOT ON MY WATCH! ON TO THE FAKE SCIENCE!

The Associated Press also reports that, "Republican senators took issue with calling attention to Timberlake's latest album, FutureSex/LoveSounds and to song titles like 'SexyBack' and 'Rock Your Body.'"

I think we've found the hot wedge (pause) issue in the 08 election.

The First Great Album of 2007

Devin The Dude "Hope I Don't Get Sick A Dis" (2007)


Devin The Dude "Just Because" (2007)



FINALLY. Music has been tediously boring so far this year. The new Devin album leaked this week, but I didn't get a chance to listen to it until I took the day off from work today. As usual, Devin doesn't dissapoint (even at, what, 37 years old?).

There wasn't too much hype around the album, so I feared it might be a half-assed indie release. I was wrong. I think I like it better than To Tha X-Treme...its definitely up to par with Just Tryin' Ta Live. He's really perfected the perverted-yet-tender R&B stuff, and the more straight-ahead hip-hop shit on the album is some of his best to date. The amazing songs with Lil Wayne & Bun ("Lil Girl Gone") and Andre & Snoop ("What A Job") are worth the price of the trip alone.

Weird slow jams about smelling underage girls, a bluesy country song about not having anything to smoke his weed with, a testament to the cleanliness of his dick called "Broccoli & Cheese"...The Dude's still one of the most unique, underappreciated artists in popular music.
