This first solo museum exhibition of the work of Brooklyn-based artist and designer Brian Donnelly, a.k.a. KAWS, includes his most recent paintings, sculptures, and drawings, as well as a survey of his iconic street art, apparel, product and graphic designs.
I became interested in Kaws, after seeing his figures and thinking what the f#ck is this. Then I saw his paintings and decided to find out more about this guy. Thats when I became inspired.
I’m livin’ in the 21st century
Doin’ something mean to it
Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it
Screams from the haters, got a nice ring to it
I guess every superhero need his theme music
No one man should have all that power
The clock’s tickin’, I just count the hours
Stop trippin’, I’m trippin’ off the power
(21st century schizoid man)
The system broken, the schools closed, the prisons open
We ain’t got nothin’ to lose, ma’f-cka, we rollin’
Huh? Ma’f-cka, we rollin’
With some light-skinned girls and some Kelly Rowlands
In this white man’s world, we the ones chosen
So goodnight, cruel world, I see you in the mornin’
Huh? I see you in the mornin’
This is way too much, I need a moment
No one man should have all that power
The clock’s tickin’, I just count the hours
Stop trippin’, I’m trippin’ off the power
‘Til then, f-ck that, the World’s ours
And then they (Go)
And then they
And then they (Go)
And then they (21st century schizoid man)
F-ck SNL and the whole cast
Tell ‘em Yeezy said they can kiss my whole ass
More specifically, they can kiss my asshole
I’m an asshole? You n-ggas got jokes
You short-minded n-ggas’ thoughts is Napoleon
My furs is Mongolian, my ice brought the goalies in
Now I embody every characteristic of the egotistic
He know, he so, f-ckin’ gifted
I just needed time alone, with my own thoughts
Got treasures in my mind but couldn’t open up my own vault
My childlike creativity, purity and honesty
Is honestly being prodded by these grown thoughts
Reality is catchin’ up with me
Takin’ my inner child, I’m fighting for it, custody
With these responsibilities that they entrusted me
As I look down at my dia-mond-encrusted piece
N-gga, no one man should have all that power
The clock’s tickin’, I just count the hours
Stop trippin’, I’m trippin’ off the power
‘Til then, f-ck that, the World’s ours
And then they (Go)
And then they
And then they (Go)
And then they
And then they (Go)
And then they (21st century schizoid man)

Lost in translation with a whole f-ckin’ nation
They say I was the obamanation (abomination) of Obama’s nation
Well, that’s a pretty bad way to start the conversation
At the end of day, goddammit, I’m killin’ this sh-t
I know damn well y’all feelin’ this sh-t
I don’t need yo’ p-ssy, bitch, I’m on my own d-ck
I ain’t gotta power trip, who you goin’ home with?
How ‘Ye doin’? I’m survivin’
I was drinkin’ earlier, now I’m drivin’
Where the bad bitches, huh? Where ya hidin’?
I got the power, make yo’ life so excitin’ (So excitin’)
Now this would be a beautiful death
Jumpin’ out the window
Lettin’ everything go
Lettin’ everything go
N-now-now this would be a beautiful death
Jumpin’ out the window
Lettin’ everything go
Lettin’ everything go
Now this would be a beautiful death
Jumpin’ out the window
Lettin’ everything go
Lettin’ everything go
The reason I never been to the strip club in L.A. up to this point is because I’m from Atlanta, GA (STRIP CLUB CAPITAL OF THE WORLD) and I don’t want to compare and judge. Then after the show at the Hollywood Improv Friday night and I am shaking hands and some new fans are like lets go somewhere else, so we ended up at the strip club. We go to this club called the Body Shop off Sunset in Hollywood. Strip clubs are suppose to have fast music and ass should be popping and shaking everywhere. We walk in and the music is slow and classical, Im like “its awfully romantic in here.” It was half naked chicks sitting on dudes laps talking about iphone application. Im thinking “STRIP CLUB ITS MORE LIKE A STRIP LOUNGE.” A waitress popped up and said that it was a two item drink minimum and there is NO alcoholic beverages was being served. WHAT TYPE OF STRIP CLUB DONT SELL ALCOHOL, WHERE THEY DO THAT AT?…..L MUTHAF#CKIN A. So of course I ask for some Sizzurp (which is Promethazine w/Codeine,Original Sprite Soda,Jolly rancher candy) because its non alcoholic. Of course they dont have sizzurp. “Well let me get two Cokes, then.” The strippers bodies looked normal, matter of fact, I couldn’t tell who was a stripper and who was a chick coming to get a tan under these weird red lights. In the land of fake titties most of these chick here were saving up for a pair. I seen one stripper with no ass her thong was swinging side to side like a pendulum..LOL. I was on twitter the whole time…..here are some of my tweets from there
The dances at this strip are elegant. Its like a naked ballet. Its literally the Nutcracker……
Why does the strippers here have lil purses in their hands. Fake Louis and titties. Swap Meet titties
The BodyShop strip club is the cleanest strip club evr. U can eat off da strippers. WHACK!
This house contains 3 w’s I like, Windows, Water, and Woods.
It has an asian/modern feel to it to me and you can stare at the Golden Gate bridge from your kitchen.This house is in Belvedere, California and was designed to give as many perfect bay views as possible like the ones seen out of the master bedroom’s wall of windows facing the water. This modern home was oriented to showcase the fact that it sits on a perfect view spot with approximately 220 feet of shoreline. The home is on 1.2 acres of land and the home itself has 7,900 square feet of interior space with five bedrooms. There is also a separate two-bedroom guest house. The use of warm wood with spare clean lines provides a calming effect and skylights flood the home with light. This home is listed at $28.5 million.(from Luxist)
This is one of my favorite freestyles to date. Its Jay Z of course, free-styling off of Joe Budden’s “PUMP IT UP” instrumental. My favorite line of the whole song is “whos the nicest, like polite less, on these mic devices and I dont write this “
Read this and look at the metaphors trapped behind these bars. The song is at the end.
