The weekend before finals week generally consists of two things: being extremely lazy, and studying. However, this finals weekend has been alarmingly packed full of activities! Lupe Fiasco's new album titled LASERS dropped this past week, and has been filling my brain with Muslim based subtleties via rap lyrics. (I'm fighting off the urge to defect to Iran as I speak) "Popular" artists that go triple platinum off of the impulse buys of eighth grade girls on i-tunes seem to dominate the music market, but the indie/underground-hip hop genre is growing faster than ever. Rappers including Lupe, Kid Cudi, Blue Scholars and Macklemore are becoming prevalent in the music world, and while they will most likely not surpass J-Beebs or Gaga, they can provide a more enriched source of music for those of us sick of auto-tune and squeaky voices.
Speaking of squeaky and annoying voices- the whiny owners and players of the NFL failed to meet an agreement. NO FOOTBALL! The NFL lockout reminds me of that couple in high school that dated on and off for all 4 years. Getting together and breaking up constantly is the only form of communication they know. For everyone else, it was just annoying because you knew they would make up and go out to Red Lobster for dinner by the weekend. Substitute the chain restaurant for billions of dollars and, more or less, it's the same thing.
That's it for tonight. Time to start up the Netflix and watch some Californication!
