Hark!

The foul sound of inevitability.

Following the announcement of Riff Raff’s Mad Decent deal, it was but a matter of time before Soulja, who said in one of his recent videos that “this year [my label is] all about Riff Raff”, presented the Houstan raised dayglo rapper with a shonky wooden chain in another whilst wearing impenetrable shades and refraining from eye contact, and whose SODMG crew has been part of Riff’s name for the past year, let his feelings be know.

Guess this means the Freestyle Heavyweights mixtape is off.

“Why would I want to do that? In space you have to wear diapers!”

Following her big week as the Twitter mouthpiece of the mighty country of Sweden, the author of the single gretaest national Twitter account of all time reflects.

I am starting to think this human is the living reincarnation of Bill Hicks.

Sweden, the country, has been doing this ill-ass thing wherein they let a regular Swede take over the account for a week, and Tweet whatver they like. This week’s has been causing a great big shit storm for not being particularly politically correct, and is evidently some kind of comedy genius. Also, her question regarding Jews is totally valid, I had the exact same question when I was younger. I was genuinely baffled as to how white people could be racist against other white people. I remember asking my history teacher, “how could they be racist against other white people though? How could they tell who was a jew and who wasn’t? Was it the curly hair?”

EDIT: The Curators of Sweden site reveals that all this legendary behaviour is courtesy of one Sonia Abrahamson, who provides the following bio:

My name is Sonja and I’m a 27-year old womanlike human being from northern Sweden. I grew up in a little itsy bitsy village called Latikberg, witch means cloudberry montain in native swedish (samiska?). All people there are relatives and they all own tractors. In the autumn we had to pick up potatoes, in the winter we shoveled snow, in the spring we were confused and the summer forced us into growing thick skin and made us the bad motherf*ckers we are. Because of the big swarms of mosqitos that will drain you on blood until death unless you can take it.

When I was 19 years old I took my stuff (including my boyfriend) and moved to Gothenburg. Then I got pregnant two times in a row. Now I’m a single and low educated mother, but at least I don’t do drugs and prostitution. Instead I have a blog and I write things, and I also talk on national radio from time to time. I dont know what I want to do in the furure. Thinking about the future is not my speciality, apparently. But I’m excited to know if we all die the 21st of December.

I’m happy to leave my ordinary Twitter account @hejsonja (witch means hellosonja) to tweet for @sweden. I’m gonna tweet about my thoughts and being me, about having children and living my life and what not.

Ms Abrahamson also shares my views on television. RIGHTEOUSNESS AND RIGHTEOUSITY! @sweden is the best national twitter feed of all time. Amen.

Don Studios IV looks like a BOMB HIT IT. That is because I have been Checking Stock. And checking stock has revealed that I am SUPER LOW on pretty much EVERYTHING.

Just eight LITF hats left! Seven Unkillable Thunderchrist prints left! Just four complete Nostalgia Swag Bags left! No Revolution Ts left in XL and XXL! 2 Kidnapping Ts! Three Omega Sanction Ts! Twelve hoodies! Eight Unkillable Thunderchrist CDs! And so on!

I suggest you get your ass down to the shop and grab what you want before it’s all gone. I might reprint the Revolution Ts, but that’s probably it. Gonna be coming with a bunch of new stuff next month. Holla if there’s anything in particular you’d like to see!

Oh, and I did a MAJOR post run yesterday, so if you’re waiting on anything, it should show up pretty soon, if it hasn’t already.

Actually, you know what? I’m gonna send a discount code to everyone that’s bought something off me before. Check your inbox in 5432…!

So recently someone was in the comments of one of my Youtube videos asking where they could get a song I did back in 06 or something called DOWNLOAD… I had no idea., as that was on the harddrive that fell off atable in New York, along with many albums worth of unreleased material, and I’d forgotten about it.

How about that? Blessings to the homie Justin who sent me that message on Twitter, and has upped the song, which I will duly add to the archives. Is there anything else anyone’s missing? Let me know and I will pass it on to the #DONARMY, who will SAVE US ALL!

PS, someone made this from my Prometheus review. SHOCKING. But is a much more concise review.
