Music video: Pill - "Glass"
It ain't no "Trap Goin Ham" but its cool - really beautifully shot. He's getting his Pac on flow-wise on this one, no? [via Elitaste]
OK, I'm gonna get into some Hip Hop Super Tuesday Part 2 sh-t now real quick. Weigh in with your thoughts 'cos I mean, do you really wanna still be talking about Kanye-Taylor Swift when its clear that most of the people still outraged at this point were just repressed racists looking for any petty excuse to unleash their vitriol and hatred.

More on the Kanye West-Taylor Swift 2009 MTV VMAs incident
A few views from around the internets:
Katy Perry: "F-CK U KANYE" [via Twitter]
Pink: "Kanye west is the biggest piece of sh-t on earth. Quote me." [via Twitter]
Marsha Ambrosius open letter to Kanye: "your ignorant arrogant ass made an ass of everything you represent... you EMBARRASSED US ALL…" [via BET blogs]
Kelly Clarkson open letter to Kanye: "I’m not even mad at you for being an asshole…I just pity you because you’re a sad human being." [via her blog]
The Maximum Fun blog: It's just Kanye Being Kanye. [via Rafi]
My dude Sledge: "YOOOOO THE N-GGA YE IS CRAZZZYYYYYYY!!!!!! HE WENT IN!!!!! and you know what HE WAS F-CKING RIGHT....NO WAY THAT BROAD SHOULD'VE BEAT OUT BEYONCE!!!!! LOVE THAT DUDE!!" [via Facebook]
My take? Ye was right but he was totally out of line and acted inappropriately last night. I mean, he wasn't even up for the award so how did he feel it was his place to either, take up for Beyonce or ruin Taylor Swift's moment? Dude is unbelievable, but f-ck it, MTV is LOVING this 'cos their watercooler buzz for the VMAs (which doesn't even happen around water coolers anymore) is off-the-charts right now. If I know them cats, they are trying to figure out how to have more Kanye next year. Lil Mama's f-kery during the Jay-Z/Alicia Keys show-closing performance becoming a #1 trending topic on twitter last night doesn't hurt either.
And BTW: Taylor Swift could have shown some class herself and thanked Beyonce for being such a class act by giving up HER moment to shine for her! I'm still not covinced the whole thing wasn't staged by MTV in the first place though....

Video: Kanye West interrupts Taylor Swift's Acceptance Speech at the VMA's
Posted just 'cos I know cats are gonna be looking for this. Am I crazy for thinking this whole thing from Ye's initial stage bum-rush to Beyonce winning Best Video but yielding her acceptance speech time slot to Taylor Swift, might have been staged though, set up & engineered by MTV? I mean they've done it before....
