Nineteen Ninety Never

I’ve been doing a bit of reading about the old RIFTS roleplaying game, and it sounds like Glitter Boy is pretty much the most bad-ass mech around. They’re made out of reflective armor so that beam-weapons can’t hurt them, and they carry around shoulder-mounted rail-guns. You wouldn’t want to mess with that.

Just as a bright, shiny mech like that would stand out on the post-apocalyptic battlefield, Kanye West stands out on the hip-hop war zone of the early 21st Century. I guess you could say he’s the Glitter Boy of rap.

For other Kanye news, recent articles that talk about 50 Cent referring to Kanye as “try-sexual” are pretty hilarious. And speaking of Glitter Boys, it sounds like 50 spent over $60,000 on his teeth.

This sounds so unbelievably sci-fi fucked-up that I just had to post something about it. I just hope these tracks do it justice. They were the ones I thought of when I saw the picture, and thought about space babes and mechs possibly preventing the end of the world at the hands of interdimensional beings.
