Saw on Twitter that Guy Fierei and Racheal Ray are going to be hanging out. I don’t know why that makes me so excited, but it just does.
I guess it’s like if two of your favorite bands were going to get together for a jam session, except instead of music it’s food. And I loves me some food.

This is the greatest.
I was listening to Biggie Smalls first album and just thinking about it a little. A large part of why people hold that album in high regard, and albums like it (90’s gangster rap), is because of the shocking lyrical content. It understandably created controversy when a kid would put a CD in and the rapper would cuss every 2 seconds, talk about murdering people, stealing, selling/doing drugs, abusing women, ect. But the way the rappers used music to push the 1st amendment to it’s limit was kind of amazing. It really made people question how much they valued another person’s right to say, literally, whatever that person wanted; even if they completely disagreed with what was being said.
But I seriously kind of wonder if a lot of the rappers went in with the intent to push the 1st amendment and make people think in that way. They probably just wanted to say a bunch of vulgar shit. So even if they weren’t trying make an artistic statement in that kind of way, could you still attribute the 1st amendment dialogue that ensued from their music to the rappers themselves? It would be like if I was holding a bucket of paint, and I tripped, accidentally spilling the paint all over a canvas creating a beautiful picture…by mistake. Basically: If someone unintentionally makes an artistic statement, then are they even making an artistic statement at all?
