Well, here we go with this week’s edition of Lazy Friday Playlist. And I’m really hoping this will be a lazy Friday because I have been working 16 hour-plus days and need to slow down. The fruits of my labor may not be entirely apparent, but they will be soon (in the pages of Washington Babylon and elsewhere.)
We may have another item or two later today and we may not. But we’ll most very definitely be back next week with more of Hack List 2017 — click here for the last installment — as well as fresh stories and updates on scandals we recently unearthed.
Anyway, for now here’s our new Playlist. (Not impossible I’ve included some of these songs on prior Playlists, hard to keep track.) Share, mock, critique, whatever. And by all means have a good weekend.
The Notorious B.I.G/ Going Back to Cali
Nicki Minaj, Drake, Lil Wayne/No Frauds (I think I have mentioned this before but my daughter wrote a critique of Nicki from a Feminist/Marxist perspective and it was seriously brilliant.)
