Little Robots: How Our Generation of Young Business People Are Trying to Kill Themselves Before 2012
The events of the interview are plastered unto my membrane as if they happened yesterday. Whitney Houston and Diane Sawyer circa 2002, facing each other in an epic stare off as Whitney dauntingly boasts “Crack is cheap. I make too much money to ever smoke crack. Let’s get that straight.” Of course to the surprise of few, it was later revealed that the singer was in fact a user of the drug, however that is not a point central to this message. Whitney Houston’s public and controversial announcement in which she denounced crack and it’s usage was not your typical celebrity rehab sham, instead it was atypical for the fact that it marked a public announcement of drug use and it’s correlation to one’s social status. Crack equated to shady drug transactions at deserted gas stations, while cocaine equated to plastic boobs, rhinoplasty perfected nose bleeds and silicone shots.
Let’s face it Tumblr has led to the demise of sex, fashion, and has showcased how readily our generations youth are all identical mannequins. I was never oblivious to it, however I always kept trying to come up with excuses.

If this country got a dollar for as many times as I’ve been bombarded with Amber Rose trivia from someone I know we would have been out of this recession.
A week ago my friend Corinne started mentioning Amber Rose. “Did you see the Robocop video?” Um, No. I don’t find the song remotely interesting. And most Kanye West videos always end up looking like a failed attempt to be artsy, so I doubt a visual will help.
Come to find out the reason she likes the video is cause Amber Rose is supposedly in it. “Who is Amber Rose?” I ask. She’s “a stripper,” she tells me. So. There are ho’s everywhere why does she get a trophy for hoing. That’s like giving someone a trophy for breathing. Um, that’s what you’re supposed to do.
A day ago I’m on Yahoo Messenger and my friend Brenten IMs me a link to a picture from her shoot for Complex Magazine’s new issue. “And I’m like this is her?” She looks like any average video ho. Except that she seems to be channeling Demi Moore in G.I. Jane.
I instantly go to Wikipedia to research her. I mean there must be something about her. You don’t date Kanye West and be BFF’s with Rihanna and not be cool right? Wrong.
Come to find out she was a stripper. Her biggest notch on her resume is appearing in a video by Ludacris called “What Dem Girls Like.” Her “bio” on Wikipedia even says she’s “known for her relationship with musician Kanye West.” I don’t get it. This is cool? Being famous for who you’re blowing.
I’m just saying. Maybe we should rethink our criteria for an idol. I mean if a chick whose claim to fame is that she queefed in a porno and likes to eat pussy our standards are getting pretty damn low.
14. Nicki Minaj–The Masquerade de Maîtresse
Nicki Minaj is the pre-eminent female MC of Generation Now. She’s a massive attack on the senses; scorching eardrums with fire-breathing vocals, and blinding corneas with neon-shine vestments – and it’s all at once. She’s so pink you can taste it – a Blow Pop, scattered, chopped, and cooked up by a local street vendor on the Brooklyn block: pank; young culture’s saccharin-infused quarter water: Pank pop. Hype, hair, and hyperimmediacy with hood-pass in hand – she is the pop face of urban misses.
