The Music Video Sartorialist: Nelly’s “Country Grammar”
The Music Video Sartorialist is a new column in which I will review the fashion of various music videos. First up: the 2000 masterpiece “Country Grammar” by Nelly. Before we even get into this, let me just say that the music video for “Country Grammar” is pure love. There is not one bad thing I […]

What Is Kanye Doing?
I am growing exhausted pretending Kanye West is a genius. It is tiring having to pretend that the reason I don’t like the things he’s doing is because I don’t “get” it. I genuinely like Yeezus a lot and just that fact alone is weighs heavy on my spirit because as interesting and purposefully off-putting […]

So here’s the thing: Modeling is hard. I’m not being facetious, I genuinely mean that. Well ok, maybe hard isn’t the right word–it’s tough I guess one could say.

Like Dylan In The Movies

In Which My Money and I Go Our Separate Ways
The new Raised By Wolves lookbook for Fall/Winter 2012 has arrived and I’d just like to take a moment to say goodbye to having money. “Listen, it’s been a good run and we’ve had a lot of fun together but I think it’s time that we part ways. It’s not you… or me… I mean […]

Black Bourgeois: On Luxury Rap & Brand Overdose
After spending the past weekend totally legitimately sampling the soon-to-be released G.O.O.D music album “Cruel Summer”, (review of which will be up soon) I realized a few things. Other than the fact that I’m still not entirely sure what Cyphi Da Prince’s role in G.O.O.D is and the constant hope that ‘Ye fooled us all […]

Black Bourgeois: Get Your Shine On
It amuses me how much, as a culture, we’re obsessed with jewelry.

Like the kid […]
