I’m just as surprised as you are that one of the most incisive critiques of hip hop capitalism would come from MAD Magazine, but it’s a crazy world, right?
On newsstands this month, The Lords of the Bling movie poster. I was sad that there wasn’t room for Farnsworth Bentley as Samwise Gamgee (“Mr. Diddy, look out for that giant spider!”), but it’s pretty perfect as it is.
