I remember watching “Pumpkin” and after the 1st hour, was ready to turn it off. Luckily, I didn’t. It’s a great film, it’s just not Wes Anderson enough for indie people/scar wearers/critics to grasp.

I read Kweli’s blog and he’s slowly crossing that line that ?uestlove did right around “Phrenology.” Why do Okayplayer artists think that regular people really give a shit about thier pretentious pet peeves? Egad, everything about that whole camp is holier than thou. “Beautiful Struggle” and “The Tipping Point” both failed miserably at attracting a mainstream audience, so now Kweli and The Roots are back on their “See, we knew these brainwashed idiots couldn’t feel us even when we do songs with The Neptunes and Scott Storch. Let’s make white stoner intelligent music and tour for 3 years straight again!” Actually, the Okayplayers in all their self-importance and grandeur STILL do not understand how to make a hit record; they disguise it by looking down on current rap pop stars. Say what you will about Kanye and Outkast, but they are just as artsy-fartsy as Okayplayer artists yet make songs and albums with innovative music for the masses. We don’t hear them crying to Rolling Stone or on their own blogs about the industry and fans underappreciating them. “Game Theory” is a solid dark album with absolutely zero memorable songs that don’t feature Peedi Crakk. Either shit or get off the toilet.
