I saw Andre 3000 at Whole Foods
rockandrolltedium:
He was at the juice bar wearing a straw hat and bathrobe. I was at the muffin and bagel bin. He was listening to a message on his smartphone and sipping some kind of green drink. I got blueberry muffin and didn’t say anything to him.

Walkmasterflex's Something, 2011: 10 Overlooked...

Your Day Job Is...?: Introduction →
producedatracks:
With names like “Southside on tha Track”, “Tone Beats”, or “Snapbackondatrack”, there’s not much question of what these dudes are doing for their day jobs. In fact, the lack of originality in producer pseudonyms these days is so rampant that we decided a Tumblr was needed to keep a running account…

Lil Boosie's Unrefined Fury →
mfastow:
I was going to write something brief on how I once met Boosie at work in 2009 and returned a $100 bill he dropped in another room without realizing, but there’s nothing more to the story than me giving it back to him and then him falling asleep during the radio interview/special.
