The Witzard

I guess I've been experiencing somewhat of a writer's block spell for the better part of this past week, maybe I'm just uninspired... or maybe the state of popular music as a whole has seen better days; all week long, I've just wanted to write two solid Punk Rock and Hip-Hop pieces, but nothing worth-while had really piqued my interest(s) thusfar. Although all that immediately changed once I read Noisey editor Dan Ozzi 's latest piece, titled "Kanye West and Crustpunk: Together at Last." It makes completely logical sense, considering Kanye 's recent genre-pulverizing Industrial-Rap monster of an album, Yeezus and I honestly feel that this is something he'd really enjoy listening to. Ozzi further describes the Jake Bowman -orchestrated mash-up album as "sort of an odd pairing, putting Kanye 's pompous rap verses over that crack rock-steady beat."

" Scott Disick 's dreams come true in the promo that I originally wrote for Kanye 's new record, but not a lot was used: kanyewest.com ," Tweeted American Psycho (1991) author Bret Easton Ellis . Rather than Christian Bale & Jared Leto , it co-stars Kourtney Kardashian 's "baby daddy" Scott Disick and Kim Kardashian 's BFF, Jonathan Cheban re-creating an infamous scene from the film; effectively subbing Huey Lewis & The News psycho killer talk for an interesting commentary on Yeezus . It's essentially the same footage that was projected on a few building sides, post album listening sessions, across the world this past weekend. Disick as Patrick Bateman impassionately laments about Yeezus , "It should be obvious by now that "New Slaves" is the undisputed masterpiece on Yeezus . A song so catchy, most people wont even remember the lyrics... But they should," as he walks into a side room and pits on a raincoat. ...
