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.
I’m voting for the Tim Riggins allusion.

Perfection. I love her.
I can’t tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now it’s a steel knife in my windpipe
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.
People should bring up the fact that Chris beat Rihanna on a regular basis. Massive amounts of kudos to Andy Levy on that front.
