I'm not even writing this blog post, I just have a macro plug-in/Google alert/pre-set/drum trigger effect that goes off every time Kitty Pryde is on the internet that feeds directly into this live stream/RS feed/news reader/blog reader/web-site. I did, however write the words that appeared on this internet page here, many of which were words formed in the brain of/spoken through the mouth of/broadcast through the cell phone in the hands of one miss Kitty Pryde. Check out a clip/cut/excerpt/teaser/preview of my interview/chat/bull-session/catch-up with her for Bullett, then watch the new video for her song "Orion's Belt" featuring Riff Raff below.
A month is basically a lifetime in internet years, but in the period since the young Florida rapper Kitty Pryde broke the web with her tossed-off laptop song sketches, like the hypnotizing groggy bed-head cuddle joint “Ok Cupid”—which some internet loser described as Tumblr-wave adderall-core—interest has only increased. The shit storm of blog bloviating comes to a head tonight, when Pryde, real name Kitty Beckwith, plays her first high profile show ever at Knitting Factory in Brooklyn. [UPDATE: APPARENTLY IT WENT PRETTY WELL!]
Last week, Pryde released her haha im sorry EP, showing she still has rhymes to burn, like on the track “smiledog.jpg,” where she addresses the often times hyper-critical response to her sudden rise to internet fame. “You say this white girl is ruining hip-hop, I say damn right and take a lick of the ring pop, and smile. I am the kit and caboodle, now I’m all over Google, and I am very You Tubeable, with the Beautiful Lou beats and hideous cuticles, hide out in your cubicle, and ponder whose daughter I am, a diabolical plot of the industry, and we didn’t think anybody would be into me.” She was wrong about that last part. I jumped on the phone with Pryde real quick this morning from New York to see how she was handling the pressure.... READ THE REST AT BULLETT.

I"m sorry, I get the Kitty Pryde thing, but will never understand where the Riff Raff "success" is coming from.
Proud internet loser! I get the impression that Mr Raff just turns up on these girls' doorsteps or something. "I'll leave when you let me do a feature on one of your songs." "If you promise you'll go RIGHT AWAY afterwards." Also how tall is he?
I feel like maybe it's a right of passage? Like all young girls need to go through their older guy bad choice phase.
I am dangerously attracted to this girl.
Pretty sure you're not going to meet her, so you're probably in the clear.
Girl's early in the game. Of course she's going to start with a non threatening white rapper. 2 years down the road she'll be featuring thug negroes. Next level shit 101.
"Next level shit 101". The best and most depressing comment I've read anywhere for a long time!
Definitely not as good as OK Cupid... does Riff Raff just call up every young girl overnight internet sensation and be like: "yo, let's collabo, baby!" Does he have cred? I'm too old to know.
I don't know, but while I'm kind of in favor of the riff raff aesthetic, and think he has a good voice, I don't think there was a single line that rhymed in this track.
Riff Raff's most obvious talent is being really punchable looking.
This was actually a cool video, I liked it. Gotta agree with the Riff Raff sentiment though...he's a pretty horrible rapper.
I think he manages to get in on these kind of tracks w/up and coming rapperz because he was on that VH1 show, has a bunch of followers on Twitter, and gets some internet coverage (most of it is not really that flattering though) and any young kid of course wants to be a part of that.
It seems like anytime somebody talks about Riff Raff it's never actually about his music...just his crazy appearance, stupid antics, or that damn BET tattoo he has.
See this is why I don't download music, because new music is like this and it sucks. There are so many good rappers from the past 20 years to listen to, why would I listen to this?
So you can explain in detail why everything was so much better back in the day to people who are definitely interested in hearing that?
I believe that by "definitely" you actually mean "not at all".
If you think "new music sucks", you're not looking hard enough. I find new music I like all the time - and I don't even have to look THAT hard.
You're right, not all new music sucks. That new Killer Mike album that just came out is not only dope, but has substance. I should have been more clear, I just meant new music like this sucks. Obviously it's all a matter of opinion, maybe "Eee Eee I can rap, I'm not mean but you're wack" really does it for you. That's fine.
I can see both sides of the argument, but the real important thing to me is that you're having the argument in the comments of this goddamned website.
That's because I love this website :-\
awww <3
@ anon: I'm glad you're cool with your perception of the music you think I enjoy x
I have a laptop that is in dire need of repair. The problem is that the place that the manufacturer (Toshiba) recommends has a policy of erasing the hard drive if it is damaged or "the software is corrupted". The laptop's hard drive is perfectly fine, but it has only Linux installed on it, and I expect that Linux will be regarded as "corrupted" software, resulting in an unnecessary erasing of the disk.
