| rantnrave:// As the yin to his childhood friend Q-TIP's yang, MALIK "PHIFE DAWG" TAYLOR was the heart of one of the most influential hip-hop groups of all, A TRIBE CALLED QUEST. We remember the legendary MC, who died way too young, with reflections, memories and music in our REDEF MusicSET: REMEMBERING PHIFE DAWG. I was in awe of him. Like Phife, I have diabetes and not taking care of it resulted in heart disease and I almost died from it. Was days away. Sad beyond words. His impact was massive. Youngins, go to wherever you get your music and experience the catalog so you can act like ya know. #RIPPhifeDawg... Immigration are like acquisitions. They both fail on poor integration... Dear MR. TRUMP, how exactly does one drop a nuclear bomb on ISIS?... On a more important subject: Why on earth is wi-fi so bad in hotels. The speed is atrocious. I could download a 3D animation renderer faster in a warez room on AOL in 1995. WTF? Don't get me started on the snowy TV picture and VOD interfaces. Makes me yearn for ATARI PONG... Is DEADPOOL the greatest opening title sequence ever?... WIL FRY on the challenges of wholesale, getting ripped off, and why fashion isn't funnier in our new FashionREDEF Original... Thinking of watching TARANTINO's JACKIE BROWN again. I love a stylish flight attendant who likes to party... Happy Birthday to RICH THOMAS, ANDREW JARECKI, TIM CAMPBELL, CHARLES FORMAN, JASON OBERFEST, SHAWN GOLD and JOEL GASCOIGNE. | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |

In late January, Donald Trump did something that would have sunk almost any other presidential campaign: He retweeted an anonymous Nazi sympathizer and white supremacist who goes by the not-so-subtle handle @WhiteGenocideTM.
