human




“I couldn’t handle school. I just felt like it wasn’t for me. I felt like the outcast.
No one understood me. So I dropped out. Don’t judge me for that, but you already are.
I wanted to follow my dreams. School wasn’t for me. Well, I followed my dreams.
I’m successful too. The girl I loved was still with me. The only other girl in the world that cared about me was with me. 
I was on top of the world. I was touching the sky. I felt good. I was the best and I wanted people to know it. People began to judge me. Telling me I’m arrogant and self centered.
Why? Well because I poured my soul into my art and spoke from the heart. 
I didn’t let that phase me. The unexpected then happened. 
The only girl that truly loved me passed away. 
The other one that I loved broke my heart. 
My life began to go into a downward motion. I was lost…. I am Kanye West. 
I’m just like you.  Human.”

spring fever


in addition to the actual fever I was bedridden with last week, this new warm weather has given me a bad case of spring fever — 80 degrees to be exact.

I'm lusting after springy pieces, like this purse


this sweater, skirt and shades
and if two birds kissing over an egg on a ring doesn't scream spring to you then...I'm sorry?


I Got Love



Yes, I know, it's not Regulators. You're welcome.

RIP Nate

happy birthday grammy


happy 91st (yes, 91st!) birthday to the only woman I know who still wears Chanel at 90, enjoys squashing spiders with her thumb and never fails to make a dozen best friends at the farmer's market.

above: my mom, grandma and me at my high school's homecoming parade.

below: a few throwbacks of my always classy g-ma below for your viewing pleasure.


My grandma and grandpa posing with their ride in 1943.


1943 again, but this time posing in the hot whip. Love the buttons, two-tone Chanel pumps and those LEGS!


Grandma at 16, on what is quite possibly the strangest picnic of all time. Afternoon tea, dress clothes with overalls, hotdogs and...marshmallows?

this just made my friday



everybody shut up about how kanye ripped off all these artists (he didn't) and instead let us take a magical, borderline schizo journey into the genius of yeezy.

lasers leak



Warning: this is not F+L or The Cool (in case you can't read...in which case, get the fuck outta here.) 


Lasers is straightforward, with far less intricate lyrics, more booming instrumentals and mainstream hooks than we're used to from the old Lupe. We know he has already publicly expressed his distaste for this album, even before its release, but don't let that discourage you from appreciating it. It's Lupe and it's still DOPE AS HELL. While I'm not married to every single track - unlike Dark Twisted Fantasy, natch - there are quite a few gems on Lasers that blow the weak ones out of the water. 


4 out of 5


01. Letting Go (feat. Sarah Green) 5/5
So good and so unexpected — it figuratively shit all over me. 
02. Words I Never Said (feat. Skylar Grey) 3/5
Everyone else seems to love this song, but I can't get on it. I don't hate it, but need to give it a few more listens...
03. Till I Get There 4/5
Chill banger.
04. I Don’t Wanna Care Right Now (feat. MDMA) 3/5

Don't hate Lupe for this one -  he came hard with the requisite club track.
05. Out Of My Head (feat. Trey Songz)  5/5

Headbanging tribute to the ladiez. I predict myself dancing to this in the mirror while getting ready to go out. Or right here in my cube at work...
06. The Show Goes On 5/5
Lupe didn't rip off Float On, it's called sampling. And it's close to perfect.
07. Beautiful Lasers, (Two Ways) (feat. MDMA) 5/5

One of the most anticipated tracks. Much stronger lyrically, incredible overall. Only wish there were more than 2 verses.
08. Coming up (feat. MDMA) 5/5

Uplifting attempt at a Tupac-esque anthem. For the girls and the hood. Clearly, as I just realized I'm clapping along...
09. State Run Radio (feat. Matt Mahaffey) 2/5

Not a fan.
10. Break The Chain (feat. Eric Turner & Sway) 3/5

Lupe DID his thing on the flow. This is probably the most epic-sounding track, but I'm not feeling the hook. And WTF did Sway say?
11. All Black Everything 4/5

Here's the Lupe we know and love. Thoroughly enjoying the sample - reminds me of a vintage Disney movie.
12. Never Forget You (feat. John Legend) 5/5
Love me some Legend. Addicting beat and a beautiful album closer, IMO.


Lasers comes out on March 8th
