INSTAGRAM MOMENTS: MIKE POSNER GETS ROASTED
by Calvin Paradise
12/1/18
The weeks that follow Thanksgiving and Christmas always have a sort of International Waters spice to ‘em. Some folks have an overflowing reserve of pent up energy and frustration from time spent holed up with their families. While other are so exhausted they’ve unintentionally let their guards down, let their judgement slack, and this chaotic mixture of energies gives off the sense that anything can happen.
Like, say, Drake and Meek making amends!?!?!?!?
HATCHED.BURIED.
Enough time has passed that we can all admit that while “Back to Back” is a fantastically fun song, it was unfair to Meek to declare Drake the winner of their feud just because the Torontonian is better at PR.
Luck though we don’t have to worry about making right our rush to judgement, since Drake and Robert Rihmeek Williams are done with all that petty bullshit.
Along with this incredible clip, the new-old chums have given us the phenomenal collaboration “Going Bad” off Meek’s new LP CHAMPIONSHIPS.
MEEK VS ELLEN
It looks like Meek is the new Parker Lewis, cause he can’t lose. Dude was unjustly imprisoned a mere 7 months ago and now he’s out here running the world. Good for him.
MIKE POSNER ROAST HIGHLIGHTS
If you’re at all familiar with Twitter, then you know the site primarily exists for people to try and dunk on perfect strangers. And the internet has never met a subject it wouldn’t attempt to humiliate.
Mike Posner was one of the latest celebs to get dragged, but he was a good sport about it. He took to the Gram to share the highlights from a bunch of people he doesn’t know making fun of his appearance.
THE SPIRIT OF GIVING
Sure it’s a lot easier to give when you, uh, actually have something to give. And yeah it’s absurdly easy to give when your networth is 300 Million, but watch the video of Will Smith’s gift to Africa above and try not to feel joy.

We have nothing to add here except to ask whether or not this is the pinnacle of human achievement.
We’ll probably stop watching this by the start of 2019.
SELF CARE IS IMPORTANT
We’ve said it before, but you’ve got to look out for yourself, cause there’s no guarantee that anyone else is. Luckily for music lovers like us we’ve got great examples like Noah Cyrus and Lykke Li to show us how to treat ourselves.
TYLER THE GRINCH
Consider this your PSA that Tyler, The Creator has made new music for The Grinch movie and also that The Grinch gets a bad rap.

The biggest news from the West Coast this week is that Los Angeles actually experienced some weather. It rained!
The National frontman Matt Berninger took this opportunity to show off his incredibly dope umbrella and ask whomever it is that makes this wondrous work of art to send him more.
We’ll keep you updated on this story as it develops.
Calvin Paradise is not any one thing. The half-hearted vagabond and forgetful luddite currently resides in Los Angeles and how he spends his time is none of your damned business.
