Ayo, if you want to call people worthless pieces of shit on Twitter, more power to you. You do you and behave in whatever manner you can stomach. But after you fire your salvo, it is not a good look to immediately turn around and decry the dearth of comity from others on the internet. You temporarily relinquished your right to the high road when you barreled yourself down the low road whilst flipping double birds and publicly calling a stranger you dislike a lot of names. And anytime you catch yourself saying, “But these people DESERVE to be yelled at and I don’t DESERVE to be yelled at,” that is a good time to reevaluate some shit.
Boom.
Quite possibly the best album review ever.
Check out the damage done to the VIP area of the club W.i.P. in NYC after the entourages of Drake and Chris Brown exploded in rage over…well, Rihanna, apparently.
Update No. 3.: The Daily News has police sources confirming that Brown sent a bottle of champagne and that Drake responded with a note; their version of Drake note reads, “I’m still fucking Rihanna,” which, no way. Drake! Then the report gets crazier: “All hell broke loose” after the note (obviously) and then “Drake’s 15-member entourage — a dozen pals and three security officers — peeled off their shirts as the fighting kicked into gear.”
Keep in mind there are conflicting accounts (as to be expected), and the account (and photos) are taken from the Daily News. For more information and other accounts, hit up Vulture’s post on the fight.
Truth bomb.

On second thought: I’m not sure why I’m upset by Chris Brown’s performance. (Okay, I know why I’m upset by him but that’s not the point right now.) I should be directing my frustration at the network that put Brown on TV and awarded Tyler the Creator (see TheShortFormBlog for more on that one) but…
I couldn’t agree more with all of this. Chris Brown must continually take responsibility for his horrendous behavior - especially the fact that he ignores (or lashes out at) those who bring up his past with Rihanna. That said, MTV must be held accountable for even including him on the roster of the show - let alone nominating him or inviting him to attend at all.
In addition, Tyler, the Creator is an offensive artist. He uses homophobic language like “faggot” and the adjective “gay” as a pejorative on a regular basis. Perhaps more distressing, he refuses to apologize; in fact, he states, “I’m not homophobic. I just say ‘faggot’ and use ‘gay’ as an adjective to describe stupid shit,” and “I’m not homophobic. I just think ‘faggot’ hits and hurts people.” Eminem eventually apologized, but he has his own problems.
Eminem literally romanticized domestic violence and power-based personal violence. MTV nominating him for an award solely for the act of mentioning domestic violence (which he then went on to glorify and defend), is beyond appalling. In the long run, the network is entirely culpable for promoting Brown, Tyler, and Eminem, but you’ll never see them actually apologize for these errors in judgment.
What it comes down to for me is the fact that I wish Tumblr discussed topics like these more often.
Hypocrisy is beautiful
I love that someone reblogged my Aaliyah tweet photo and complained about how disrespectful it was to “mock” her.
Two posts down, she had a picture of Chris Brown.
Soooo, I can’t post a photo of someone mocking a long-dead celebrity, but you can praise and adulate a man who beat a woman in the face with his fists? Interesting…
People should bring up the fact that Chris beat Rihanna on a regular basis. Massive amounts of kudos to Andy Levy on that front.
![While most of the tweets in the stream involved barely-thought-out grammatical nightmares like “your dumb” or “grow up already how old r u,” there are a few stand-out themes: that Levy was on To Catch a Predator (because he’s “too old” to be on Twitter), that he is gay, that his dislike of Chris Brown is symptomatic of being an employee at Fox News. And then there are Chris Brown fans calling for someone to “punch [Levy] in the face” and warning that he may “get robbed,” which sort of go to prove his point. A notable side feud also erupted in the feed of Red Eye pal Anthony Cumia, who vented his frustration out at Brown fans far more vocally (and profanely) than Levy did.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lq4rd08Vu71qh4zc4o1_500.png)
