So we all know Thomas Friedman to be one of our most trusted and distinguished journalists. I personally found Hot, Flat & Crowed to be fascinating but he has really caused a stir with his column today in the times. Here you go
By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN
Published: September 29, 2009I hate to write about this, but I have actually been to this play before and it is really disturbing.
So this guy yesterday said on the house floor ” Republicans want people to die quickly”. Everybody knows that I’m about as far left as you can possibly be and normally I’d agree but it is true the left has their nuts too. Nowhere near as many as the right but still. Here is a nice little exchange between him and the CNN crew. Gotta love it
Complex: For “Cudi Zone,” I remember Cudi saying he had the first verse done, and then eventually finished the second verse at a later time.
Emile: He had the verse forever and me and [Plain] Pat were like “’Cudi Zone,’ what’s up with it?” and Cudi would just blow it off. So me and Pat were just like, fuck man, this record is so dope but it went on so long that I started to wonder if this monster of a record was going to be on the shelf, just like if it was ever going to get finished. A long time went by, and he just wasn’t going to force it. Cudi doesn’t force his stuff when he works, it’s either going to happen or it’s not going to happen. Eventually one day, it was real nonchalant, months and months after we had this record and he was just like, “Oh yeah, I got the ‘Cudi Zone’ verse.” I almost didn’t believe him, I was like, word? Not only did he come in forever after we did the first verse but he did the second verse and it sounded like he did it the exact same day he did the first verse. The tone was cool, everything was cool about it. It was like OK, shit we’re done. Sweet.
