Say What Now of the Day
May. 4, 2012
In his Equal Time column today, the New York Post‘s Phil Mushnick goes straight racist on the Nets’ new logo as the team transitions from New Jersey to Brooklyn (with a little influence from Jay-Z, who owns 1.5 percent of the team):
As long as the Nets are allowing Jay-Z to call their marketing shots — what a shock that he chose black and white as the new team colors to stress, as the Nets explained, their new “urban” home — why not have him apply the full Jay-Z treatment?
Why the Brooklyn Nets when they can be the New York N——s? The cheerleaders could be the Brooklyn B—-hes or Hoes. Team logo? A 9 mm with hollow-tip shell casings strewn beneath. Wanna be Jay-Z hip? Then go all the way!
As Jack Kogod (@Unsilent) posted on Twitter: “Looking forward to not reading Phil Mushnick’s independent blog.”

Marketing Campaign of the Day
Apr. 24, 2012
French Socialist presidential candidate François Hollande — who leads incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy after the first round of voting — has co-opted Jay-Z and Kanye West’s anthem “Ni**as In Paris” for his latest campaign ad. The song backgrounds footage that shows Hollande campaigning in the outer Parisian suburbs among people of various ethnic backgrounds, as they hold up their voter registration cards. And Slate helpfully points out: “Creil,” one of the suburbs Hollande campaigns in during the ad, is pronounced “cray” as in, “That sh*t Creil.”
Despite the perhaps questionable song choice, Hollande’s general play is a smart one — Sarkozy has a lousy history with the outer regions of the Paris metro area, where a high percentage of racial minority and immigrant populations live. The next round of voting is May 6.

Celebrity Baby Pics of the Day
Feb. 10, 2012
Celebrity Baby Pics of the Day: Proud parents Beyoncé and Jay-Z have launched a Tumblr blog dedicated to the first official photos of their newborn baby girl, Blue Ivy Carter.
“We welcome you to share in our joy,” reads a statement on the site. “Thank you for respecting our privacy during this beautiful time in our lives.”
Giving away baby photos for free at a time when selling pics to gossip rags can net a celeb a cool $14 million is almost unheard of.
Kudos to Hova and Bey, and congrats on your beautiful daughter.

Pop-Culture Pot Strain of the Day
Jan. 15, 2012

Use of the “Blue Ivy” brand was not approved by either Mr. or Mrs. H to the Izzo, but cease and desist letters, if forthcoming, have yet to materialize.

Hustler of the Day
Nov. 11, 2011
Hustler of the Day: Jay-Z’s Rocawear clothing label just released its Occupy Wall Street solidarity shirt, inviting you “to show your support for the Occupy Wall Street Movement…with a dope tee.”
And while you’re showing your support for Occupy Wall Street with Hova’s (potentially plagiarized) ode to anti-greed, the brand will be showing its support for Regular Wall Street by making bank.
When asked by Business Insider if any of the proceeds will be going to benefit OWS, a Rocawear rep responded: ”At this time we have not made an official commitment to monetarily support the movement.”
Problem?
