Craigslost: This Week’s Greatest Classified Ads Ever

I’ve been wanting to write about the amazingness that is Craigslist for the longest time. You see, I love Craigslist. I love it so bad that, in the eloquent words of one Craigslist poster, I want the site to bring the popcorn and leave its panties.

So I decided to do like all great journalists and steal someone else’s idea find inspiration from those who came before me.  In this case, I was inspired by Amy Blair’s excellent (and sadly defunct) Week in Craig column at The Black Table and (later) Animal New York.

Recently OKCupid recommended a hottie who, in her profile, describes her religious beliefs as “Christianity and very serious about it.” Continue reading →

The Big K.R.I.T. Mixtape that Might Actually Be the Best Rap Album of the Year

A Caddy with gold wheels, doves, a brandy snifter positioned under the crotch of a stripper, a random bulldog. This album cover touches all the bases.

I love hip-hop mixtapes. I also am fully aware that the vast majority of such mixtapes (even many of those put out by the rap game’s heavy hitters) are absolute dog shit and should be immediately forgotten.

But once in a while a true gem comes along. Like last month when the Mississippi-based rapper Big K.R.I.T. turned out what might be one of the greatest rap mixtapes released in a long time. Continue reading →
