Had the privilege of speaking to Mdou Moctar (@MdouMoctar), whose meteoric rise hasn't stopped their humanitarian efforts in their homeland and beyond. We spoke about 'Funeral for Justice', the situation in Niger, being compared to Hendrix, & more for @NME rb.gy/jxkiid

biggie remains the most cinematic storyteller in rap. no1 else really hit those highs again. he called himself the rap alfred hitchcock for a reason; Biggie's music was nihilistic but full of heart and wit and technical genius. ready to die=rear window life after death=psycho

If we’re really doing this, it’s economics. There’s a huge difference between an era when an editor could make $90k a year for calling the Pussycat Dolls idiots, but it hits different in a world where a 25yo kid has to risk a DDOS attack from a stan army for the promise of $75.

Fifty Shades of Whey
Fifty Shades of Whey@davenewworld_2·
Here's my eulogy to Hulk Hogan. I apologize in advance to all the wrestlers who follow me. Hogan is a textbook example of American mediocrity. Despite being a racist, sycophantic, backstabbing grifter, almost every match he's ever had was a flat one-star snoozefest. He was so wack between the ropes that his finisher was a leg drop. A fucking leg drop. Hogan was positively identified for ratting out the locker room to the bosses when wrestlers tried to unionize. He engaged in aggressive backstage politics to suppress talent and protect his position. Hogan refused to put wrestlers over even though they out-worked and out-performed him every night. He never wanted to make anyone else look good and he always wanted a lion's share of the pay. He had one of the most inflated and most undeserved egos in entertainment, and all his movies sucked. Hogan relied on the same schtick for decades and failed to adapt to a changing audience before becoming a MAGA influencer in his final days. RIP Iron Sheik

I wrote about the genius of Bernard Herrmann for BBC Culture, focusing on his score for 1960's Psycho, which bailed out Hitchcock. I'm proud this writing shows how the dread of the era crept into Herrmann's sound and details his influence on rap. Read: bbc.com/culture/articl…

Future's DS2 was the era-defining masterpiece amidst a classic mixtape run. On its 10th anniversary, @SonRaw wrote a definitive retrospective about this haunted Colossus of excess and pain, drug abuse and absurd luxury, sonic experimentation and triumph. passionweiss.com/2025/07/23/fut…

For 20 months, I’ve seen Israel carry out the worst horrors and heard people defend it with FAFO. Brazen genocidal language coupled with actual genocidal atrocities and the total destruction of Gaza. The gaslighting from official Israeli accounts over the last 48 hours is mind blowing. It’s like they live on a different planet or think that the rest of us do. While continuing its genocide against Palestinians, Israel launched an unprovoked attack on Iran to sabotage talks with the U.S., killed civilians, destroyed residential buildings and assassinated scientists, all in violation of international law. Seeing their ridiculous attempt to turn all of this around into “self-defense” (they also call genocide self-defense) really makes you feel like you’re going crazy. But, of course, that’s the point of gaslighting.

If you still believe that Israel and the US are the “good guys”, then you’ve failed at critical thinking skills and humanity.

It's almost impossible to overstate Sly Stone's influence: he inspired Miles to go electric, influenced Herbie Hancock's "Headhunters" & was sampled twice on "TPAB." This phenomenal mix of the greater Sly Stone universe is just the start. By @jackriedy passionweiss.com/2025/02/21/fun…
