Donating to the Best Music Writing series is the functional equivalent of pre-ordering the 2012 edition of the book—which will collect 2011’s best pieces of criticism, reportage, and other media on music from publications of all types and from all corners of the globe. Why not do so today?

your boss assigns you to spend one day trolling for traffic in the most craven, gross, venal manner possible, and you just do your normal routine, and your day was a big success.
Sometimes I think to myself, “Well, I’m not curing diseases or anything,” when it comes to comparing my own work to writing I don’t find particularly stunning, but I’ll always have B____...

Gainesville smelled like smoke for most of the day today, and you know what is NOT helping that? The herbheads* smokin’ doobies** on my patio.

Noz, boldface mine:
Starlito goes in over Frank Ocean’s “We All Try,” which would be suspect as fuck if he was any other rapper. But Lito is on the very short list of rappers dynamic enough to actually make something happen on top of a popular ass beat in these days of everyone lazily jacking beats for blog looks.[4] The thing about Lito is he fucking gets it – the difference between biting and...

You’re not the first person to say that. In fact, for all of the love dude has been getting it seems like there are still quite a few people who have been vocally resistant to jumping in with his catalog. I don’t know if this is because of his occasional cheesiness (which is wholly negated by his honesty and rapping ability) or just because he gets culturally lumped in with a lot of...

Like, having strong opinions about stand-up comics is what people who took AP classes do instead of quote Anchorman.

Before, when we are still at the hotel table, chamomile tea and flickering candle in front of her, she tells me this: “Nothing has turned out like I expected to. Some things have been better, and some things have been much, much, much worse.”
I ask her whether everything she’s been through has changed how she thinks about love.
“Like I said, there’s not an area of...

I’m just a holy fool, oh, baby, it’s so cruel But I’m still in love with Judas, baby
One of my roommates is currently having sex. (I know this because the lady in the room is moaning way too loud for them to be watching Prison Break.)
The other one who is in town is in his room with two girls (they’re younger than me) and watching TV.
I dunno that I really went that wrong in my life, but lonely nights are still the worst.
Overtown rioting
On January 16, a Hispanic Miami police officer shot and killed a speeding black motorcyclist in the Overtown section of Miami.[6] A large crowd gathered and turned violent, leading to rioting and looting which lasted into January 18. A television van and several automobiles and buildings were set on fire, and police used tear gas against the rioters.[7] A teenager was shot and killed in the...

I just have a question… its kinda been bugging me.
Ever since a certain co-host on The View had a proverbial meltdown about it…
What is with the need for some (read that, I said SOME) white folks to want to be able to use the term “nigger” or any variant thereof?
Like……
It’s because white people (blanket generalization ahoy!) are so used to not having rules of...

Then I saw this on Facebook. I don’t use the term swagnificent often, but essentially asking, “Hey, who should we try to poach?” on Facebook is the type of swashbuckling, audacious, content-focused stuff that makes me kind of proud to work for the folks I work for.

White guys have it really hard.

or, as he put it, half a million for every “ella.”
While I have no problem believing that he has made $15M from songwriting, there is no goddamn way he made $15M off “Umbrella.” I bet Def Jam didn’t make $15M off “Umbrella.”
