The second dumbest rock crit on the planet hit new levels of asinity on his preposterous Rap and Art piece in Slate.
Jonah Weiner is first impressed that rappers like Jay-Z and Kanye West know anything about modern art. Hey, Jonah, maybe they invest in it?
This preposterous comment is followed by the equally ridiculous comparison between sampling and collages. And finally a mindbendingly boring comparison of Jay-Z and Damien Hirst. Yep, you read me right.
Would Jonah be writing this blatant nonsense about, say David Bowie who once wrote a song not a rhyme called “Andy Warhol”? There is the faint odor of color awareness about Jonah’s garbage.
And “On To The Next One” sucks.
