I Want To Be Jay-Z's Friend

You may find it interesting to watch this video (it's a Windows Media Video file if that matters) of him as a young pup.

Tomorrow!!! While I hope we see fewer Jamie Foxx appearances on Kanye West joints, "Gold Digger" is quite a song. I especially enjoy Yae's dancing in the video. And where do they find those fit hip-hop gals? And how many rappers actually date, or shack up with, women as gorgeous as them?

I can't tell you how excited I am to hear the Jon Brion on the album. I think it's probably important for the record that Jon and Kanye combine seamlessly, but at the same time I hope there are some real obvious Brionisms. Do I hear some in "Diamonds"? (By the by, I nearly refuse to like that song. Fuck you Kanye, you're not "conscious" just because you feel bad about getting iced up and then write a song reminding us that people die because you bought the ice. If you really give a shit, sell all of your diamonds and get a plane ticket to Sierra Leone and set up some schools or something. Fuck the holier than thou shit. Oh, and you might want to take a look at other sections of your wardrobe as well. Word is yah boi Louis Vuitton may have supported shuttling French Jews to the concentration camps. I ain't hatin', just take a look—gnome sayin'? And you might want to stop driving gas-fueled automobiles in your videos since the oil trade ain't so squeaky clean either. And hey! I smell a possible hit—for your next album you can write a ditty deploring the oil trade. Kanye seems like such an adolescent at times.
