On Who'll Get Punched on 'Jersey Shore' Tonight?
"If you look closely, there's a sturdy bridge between J-Woww casually smashing The Situation in the jaw and the nonchalance with which people in polite society make rape jokes every time a male celebrity goes to prison. Try and imagine sketch comedy shows making light of a husband slicing off his wife's vagina the way they did when John Wayne Bobbitt was butchered."
Well-put. I think we should all spend a little more time meditating on why it feels so good to endorse or at least watch abuse in the context of it being opposite of "widespread socialization".

On Erykah Badu And Rick Ross, "Window Seat" Remix And "Turn Me Away (Get Munny)"
Ross' success is pure aesthetics. His voice is the audio equivalent of a comforter, and his production is consistently among the best used by any rapper today. It also consistently fits in with the Miami Vice world he raps about, even if, as you contend, it doesn't work well with his flow. It's sort of like Miles Davis; he gets a lot of credit for picking the best people to work with, and also has a stand out tone that's easily recognizable.
