I'm taking the morning off since I'm sick, so this is the perfect time to do Day 2 of the music meme. Also I wanna show off my super fly Cee-Lo icon. If you haven't already listened to this song and/or seen its awesome, typographic music video, do so!

Also, I feel like the whole... rock artist facetiously collaborating with a rapper is a bit trite these days.

What really gets my goat about it is that the facetiousness ends up being a way for the rock and hip-hop worlds to stay as polarized as they are. The joke is "hurr, hurr, look, I'm an educated, sensitive white guy in this world of big black dudes and money and cars and objectifying women!" One, that's based on complete stereotypes in either direction; two, white guys in rap hasn't been a joke since the Beastie Boys.
