wait I am thinking of some other "dish", maybe some sort of gross Chicago variant on the below video

Welcome to America
- a survival meal scrounged from the literally hellish environment of the american prison system
and:
- a famous chicago dish which has become associated with his city in the popular imagination
What do you call cheese that's not yours? Stolen.
Michael Richards learned that punch line Saturday after, authorities said, he scuffled with a 7-Eleven cashier on Chicago's Near West Side who tried to stop him from helping himself to the nacho fixings.
Richards, 50, of Chicago, bought a bag of chips from the store, then began pumping hot cheese from the toppings bar into the open bag, authorities said. But the cashier warned him that the nacho toppings bar is for use only by customers who purchase tortilla chips served in a traditional plastic tray, according to court records.
Richards continued to add zest to his chips as he threatened the cashier, authorities said. When the cashier tried to stop him, he grabbed and twisted her arm, then fled, according to court records.
The cashier called police, and Richards was arrested about two blocks away. On Sunday, after spending the night in jail, Richards stood before Cook County Judge James Brown in bond court, facing felony charges.
"So what was stolen was … the cheese?" the judge asked, casting a quizzical gaze at Assistant State's Attorney Dan Piwowarczyk.
"The defendant was informed that it was 'not yo' cheese,'" the prosecutor deadpanned.
Brown set Richards' bond at $10,000, though Brown noted that the sum was not a lot for a felony charge.
"That's very low bond for a robbery," Brown said as Richards was escorted from the courtroom.

i think Kramer is taking this cultural reconciliation thing a little too far
CASHIER: Why you pumping all that hot cheese?
MICHAEL RICHARDS: I'm shaving with it.
CASHIER: Oh Lawdy im callin the cops!
MICHAEL RICHARDS: Lady, it's vastly superior to any commercial shaving cream. The shave is close and clean, and the natural emolients keep my skin silky-smooth. Now feel my face.

Yeezus is cool if you don't really listen to music and don't realize he's ripped off a different underground artist on each track.
i cant believe i am going to write another post defending a f*cking kanye west album but this junk is almost as insufferable as dudes who discovered rap thanks to his illustrious masterpiece mbdtf or whatever. yeezus isn't even a significant aesthetic departure from what ye was doing 5 years ago. like we're going to talk about distorted 808s & bit reduced toms & string synths & square wave bloops as ripping off the ""underground"" as if he hadnt pulled from that exact formula 2 albums ago?
or like, pretending sonic reductiveness & abrasion somehow cant be cultivated indigenously even tho those are the primary touchstones of probably the most institutionally revered hip-hop producer on this planet, whose hand is all over the album. like, a record rick rubin worked on is somehow full of agressive drum machines and minimalist synth ornamentation, what precious bedroom beatmaker did he rip that shit off? give me a break
& is pretty bizarre seeing accusations of ""ripping off"" ""the underground"" when evian christ of all people, not to menton benji b and that cornball from salem, worked on the record. i have no idea what underground artists youre thinking about in your weird lil head but im guessing its some witch house shit or future whatever bass or white boy "trap" or whatever other stunted imitation of music rap producers were making 4 years ago. either way i am 300% certain young chop is a more exciting & worthwhile producer than whatever artists youre talking about combined, and he has a beat on yeezus and it slays
it sounds more like a exploration of the direction he was heading with 808s with rick rubin playing an executive role and somewhat in conversation with the aesthetics of what else is happening in chicago right now than anything else, probably because thats what it is. the beats on the first half are basically immaculate
kanye is a genuinely terrible rapper tho so most of that isnt worth anything cause you cant listen to him without cringing. but it has like 8 bars of chief keef and a decent king louie verse, which makes it better than anything you lames listen to. in an alternate universe where ye just took a producers seat and gave the album to nicki minaj instead, it's the greatest album of the decade
i unironically fell asleep like 3 times listening to the jay-z album. heres a song thats better than anything on either of them
fucking lol

lol its like you live in a world where the internet doesnt exist and major label artists are still relevant
also remember when kanye west ripped off jenny holzer to promote yeezus that was also hilarious

What are you even talking about my guy. ofc kanye isnt "relevant" to anything actually interesting thats happening, hes a self indulgent weirdo who lives in his own world of haute-bourgeois excess but who cares he can make a decent song occasionally. chief keef released an album on interscope last year tho & if you dont think he's "relevant" then whatever way you are using that word is pretty meaningless. you should actually name some names if you want to talk about who kanye's vague retread of his past ideas is ripping off doe.
i'm not going to defend an ad campaign or whatever, i really dont care about anything ancillary to the actual music, i do not fuck with ye as a person or his business or his aesthetic or even the majority of his previous music, or think anymore of him than being a subpar rapper who knows what he is doing in the studio but whatever i think about him as an artist is pretty irrelevant to him making a handful of songs that i enjoy listening to
i think its better than dark twisted for the most part keven but thats mostly because i like 40 minutes of reductive drum machine stuff & dancehall samples more than an hour and a half of guitar solos and things of that nature.
