99 Problems But A Bush Ain't One

Like he could get any more badass, Jay-Z does just that with this little number he performed at the Obama Staff Ball:

Alexander Spit

Alexander Spit's album drops today and here the video for "Beat For The Street." Dope dope track and best believe there's more where that came from. Put your hands up now or head over to Slim's on Friday for the release party. Now let's see some tickets.

"And baby, whether I'm your dawg or your pet peeve

I hit play and put the pause on your bitch please"

There is only one thing that would appropriately fit in that man's purse and it rhymes with "fun." Got my mind on my money and my money on my mind.

Baby Blues!

[Gehry Draws]

The charmingly aggravating Matt Yoka gives us poems! Handing out printed poetry booklets, he surely stapled together himself, at the Big Umbrellas farewell art show, how much more San Francisco can you get?

Most memorable exchange we've had is when I dryly told him, "Matt it's so annoying that you have a girlfriend." (Subtlety clearly isn't my strong point.)

He paused for a cruelly misleading second, before replying, "You know what the worst part is? I love her."

Ah a dagger to my drunken heart, but as Mother Theresa or someone once said, don't hate the player, hate the game:

Baby Blues

Oh baby, don't blue ball my love,

I'm telling you baby,

Don't blue ball my love,

You are a fire fleeing the scene,

Oh baby, don't blue ball my love,

Between my hope filled pies,

And you plastic lies,

You're desensitized,

Oh baby, don't blue ball my love,

Between those luscious lips,

And tangerine hips,

My brain and heart are sent on trips,

Oh baby, don't blue ball my love,

Because a rattling rat won't give back a tale already told,

Like your mother's lover trying to buy a heart long since been sold

Don't shutter, don't stutter, don't even you mutter,

Have strength to be bold,

Stay in the trance as you dance,

And I bet that love will hold,

Oh baby, don't blue ball my love!

Real Legit: Banksy

"I originally set out to try and save the world, but now I'm not sure I like it enough."

The graffiti artist known to the world for long time only as Banksy takes legendary artistic mystique to another level. As the art-world's Deep-Throat, he does all his work at night, concealing his identity from the public (and the police). There is only one suspected picture identifying him that has ever been taken and not much is definite about his background.

So you could say he really is only here for his art, his statements. He's made it clear that he wants nothing to do with the media and attention the rest of us are actively obsessed with.

Although the man behind this art is in the dark, his messages are aimed and direct. Anti-war, anti-capitalism, anti-establishment, almost anti-fucking-everything. Subjects like rats, children, soldiers are put in honest, yet awkwardly humours scenarios to say what needs to be said. Using the streets, buildings, the world as his canvas, Banksy's works are not only hugely sought after and highly relevant to our time, they're also real legit.

Now DATS whats up-

Real Legit: Terry Richardson

[Terry Richardson and an unidentified friend.]

A Terry Richardson photo is usually recognizable. White background, straight on the subject, bright light, props and toys, and raw honesty. Having shot the likes of: Lil Wayne, Amy Winehouse, Justin Timberlake, and President Obama; Richardson has recently done projects in Hong Kong and Brazil, along with his Wives Weapons & Wheel study. Richardson's oral obsession, bluntly delicious nudity, and confidence to stay consistent, makes him pretty legit.

See the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, slutty middle aged women, Pam Anderson, orangutans, and McCully Culkin:
