All right? Alright.

Hi friends, the issue of The L Magazine out on the streets now contains my review, here, of Gregory J. Snyder's new book "Graffiti Lives: Beyond the Tag in New York City's Underground". Kinda funky & fun. The title of this blogpost refers to an editorial change to my first sentence that I wish had not been made, but ah well. Please enjoy!

Ladies Love Hip Hop

In this week's issue of The L Magazine, out today, I reviewed Pimps Up, Hos Down: Hip Hop's Hold on Young Black Women, an excellent and entertaining book by PhD and runway model T. Denean Sharpley-Whiting. You can read it here if interested. It's the only thing I've ever written that both uses the word "fetishization" and also makes a T. Pain joke.
