GQ magazine is outdated and ignorant. Every year they create their own special awards, classifying various “Men of the Year” in odd categories. This year they decided to put Drake, Wale and Kid Cudi into the category of “Gangsta Killers of the Year.”
For whatever reason, it doesn’t make any sense to put these three rappers in this category. None of their music is considered “Gangsta Rap” and GQ falsely assumes that every rapper alive is a “gangsta” or “killer.” It’d be interesting to see what those three rapper thought about the category they placed into.
After all the backlash Kanye West received at the VMA’s earlier this year, he’s back with a vengeance (and swag on a “hundred-thousand-trillion!”). Making a “>brief appearance last night at the Kid Cudi show in Los Angeles, West dazzled the crowd with some bars that’d make Taylor Swift come running back.
If rap music is all about being the underdog and coming back to regain the title, West is in prime position. With the whole world against him (including Barack) it’ll be more than interesting to hear what he has to say.
