Not many rappers have come out and said “Yeah, fuck it, I smoke crack, and I’m better than you because I smoke crack.” That’s Viper, the creator of “You’ll Cowards Don’t Even Smoke Crack,” on the song of the same name. Crack is mentioned as a way to make money in a lot of rap lyrics, or as a scourge of the impoverished, but not often are the crack songs actually about the rapper smoking crack.

His weirdly sluggish beats and low-in-the-mix vaporwave vocals might be blowing up Tumblr right now if they were ironic, or if he had even one Unicode character in his name. There are 15 of his songs here and they’re weirdly listenable.

bro i love sports and women. i got to like 8th base with this hot babe “8th base whats that” she took me to the house she grew up in and showed me pictures of her dead relatives. We sat in the living room and she told me the stories of her life that lead to that moment. Like quicksand they, and that moment were gone and we left back into the cold world which we’d been spat into. It was raining

Client: Hey! We need a digital artist to color a sketch one of our guys made. It’s the eight of us as superheroes. Would you be able to do that?

Me: Yes, but eight characters would take time to color.

Client: Oh, that’s okay. We need it next week. How does $5 sound?

I give him a look.

Client: $6?

You know, got to weigh the positives against the negatives.

Whee!

WHO WOULD YOU RATHER INVITE TO A PARTY, GOD or SATAN ?

WHAT THEY’D BRING:
GOD: A huge list of rules to ruin all of the fun for everyone.
SATAN: Probably a giant bag of skulls to help decorate.
ADVANTAGE: SATAN.

WHAT THEY’D TALK ABOUT:
GOD: Odds are he’d spend the entire time complaining about how he had kids waaay too early.
SATAN: Still an unattached bachelor, he’d probably talk about all the gnarly sins he gets to hear about all day.
ADVANTAGE: SATAN.

SENSE OF HUMOR:
GOD: His sense of humor is attributed to little coincidences, like seeing balloons when talking about balloons.
SATAN: He’ll explain how he quartered a degenerate gambler on a giant roulette table.
ADVANTAGE: SATAN.

PARTY TRICKS:
GOD: He’ll stumble outside and set your bushes on fire.
SATAN: HE PLAYS THE FIDDLE.
ADVANTAGE: SATAN.

WOULD THEY HELP CLEAN UP:
GOD: Do you have flood insurance?
SATAN: Do you have fire insurance?
ADVANTAGE: TIE.

Me: Just to remind you that, as we discussed, I’m sending my invoice a couple of days early because I’m going away on holiday. It still has the same deadline though - I’m just getting all my admin sorted before I go.

Client: What you really mean is that you need spending money for your holiday?

Me: No, not at all. I’m just getting everything sorted before I leave. The invoice isn’t due until a couple of days after I get back.

Client: It’s okay. You don’t need to get defensive. I’ll pay your invoice this afternoon, as long as you tell your kids that Uncle Client is the one paying for their ice creams.

Me: I think I’ll tell them that mummy is paying for their ice creams by providing a copywriting service that people pay for.

Client: Ha! Yes, you tell them that if it makes you feel better.

POW!

A few hours after the site went live.

Client: I don’t see us on the Google. Shouldn’t the Google be impressed with my website??

Me: No matter what we do, it still takes time to index. The site should start appearing within a month or so. Your brand is very unique.

Client: That’s not fast enough. Should I call the Google?

Me: …You can try.

HAPPENING NOW (9.24.14): The situation in Ferguson is escalating quickly. Protests continue, following this morning’s burning of a Mike Brown memorial, and another frustrating Ferguson City Council meeting.Looks like the same “antagonize over de-escalate” tactics are back online. Prayers to all those out in the street of Ferguson right now fighting for their right to exist. #staywoke #farfromover (PT I, PT II, PT III)  

Bringing back the dogs, choppers, charging the crowd, attempting to bottleneck protesters into an area, AND live shots possible fired into the crowd… what the ever-living fuck is Ferguson PD trying to do?! We’re a month and a half into this saga, and they still don’t know how to de-escalate a situation. Pray y’all. That might be all we got right now.

Not quite a client from hell but a story of a boss from hell that involved a freelancer.

The old boss at an agency I worked was working on some copy for a website and had sent it to a freelance copywriter to make changes and polish it up. My old boss was a perfectionist and believed that he could do anybody’s job in the agency better than they could.

The freelancer sent him a revised Word Document and discussed over a (loud) speakerphone. The conversation between the freelancer and my old boss went like this (in earshot of the entire office):

Boss: I just read the copy you sent through.

Freelancer: Oh yeah? What feedback do you have?

Boss: It is quite possibly the worst written piece of crap I have ever read. Nothing makes any sense and it feels like it has been written by a 3 year old.

Freelancer: But…

Boss: I don’t know how you can call yourself a ‘copywriter’ if you can’t even spell. Most of these words don’t mean anything relevant to this project and I feel that I have wasted my time hiring you for a job you quite clearly can’t do! Once again I have to do these things myself.

A slight pause.

Freelancer: The document I sent has not been changed from the original you sent me. I only added a couple of questions in red at the end that needed answering before I could proceed.

After a long pause my old boss rather sheepishly made his excuses and ended the call. We didn’t see him again for the rest of the day
