Okay, I just want to talk about something real quick. I am beginning to notice the influx (you like that vocab word, don’t you baby?) of “alter-egos” in music and I must say it is very fucking stupid. First there was Mariah Carey with “Mimi” to which I believe is Careyese for “trollop whore” because that is what she became. Then there was Mary J. Blige with “Brook Lynn” to which I say WHAT THE FUCK because I didn’t think that she was…well…talented enough to merit an alter-ego. Now we have Beyonce and her trifling ass with this “Sasha Fierce” (Spelling? Not like I give a shit…) and NOW we have Ciara and “Super CiCi” or whatever the name is and all I have to say is enough is enough.
If you need an alter ego to be a whore, then you ARE DOING IT WRONG. Now there are some males with “alter egos” (Tyrese had his “Black Ty” ridiculousness but…I didn’t buy it and neither did you. Literally) but I think most men learned that alter egos only work for two people: superheroes (Male or female although…Wonder Woman’s secret identity was LAME) and of course…DMX!
However, I don’t think it is an alter-ego if you are really fucking crazy. The simple fact is that alter-egos are fucking stupid unless you have another identity to protect that the people don’t know about. Bruce Wayne created Batman so he wasn’t some whacked out philanthropist in a rather conspicuous looking cape and cowl on rooftops and punching the shit out of a lardass in a penguin costume. I don’t know if it is…constitutional…to do that. What kind of reputation do recording artists have to protect? Their reputation for putting out a shitty product and still expecting us to pay full price for it? I would want to hide my identity, too. If you want to make crappy music, you don’t need to create another personality to rip off your fans. Just do it with a straight face. Lest I remind you of Chris Gaines. If you don’t know, I wouldn’t look it up unless you want your ears raped. Trust me, it was BAD.
I had to get that off my chest. I am off to play me some Fable II. So far….I am not impressed but I think I was the only person that despised the first Fable so I guess that is why. It has had its moments. I will give a better review at some point this week. Until then, peace out. And don’t forget to vote! If not for Mudkip, then for the Black guy. Because the fewer Irish in power, the fucking better. YEAH, I SAID IT!
Chachi Out.
