The New Super Jews
TimeOut New York is running a feature this week on “The New Super Jews,” the “edgy young tastemakers [who] are forging a hip new Jewish identity.”
The issue features The Hebrew Hammer, Jenn Bleyer and Heeb, He’brew, Jewcy, The Hip Hop Hoodios, 50 Shekel, Jewsweek (which I guess is as good as a shoutout to Jewschool & Protocols), Storahtelling, John Zorn, and a whole other host of Jewish hipsters and general hipsterism. Unfortunately it’s not online just yet, so if you’re interested, pick up a copy at your local newsstand.
But why did they have to include 50 Shekel who is complete and utter shit.
that’s awesome
50 Shekel, who is a fucking joke, has one hell of a publicist. He’s been written up in Esquire, New York Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Time Out, and a few other mainstream publications in recent months. I don’t get it either.
i haven’t seen the list yet, but have to ask: why aren’t YOU on it, dan?
i asked myself the very same question .. i guess i’m just not hip enough
That’s not it. You’re hip. You’re just not publicly hip.
the real “hip” isn’t even on the radar, so consider yourself uber hip, dan. i do!
haha. someone else said that to me once when they saw my “nice hat loser” trucker hat. they called me “the alpha hipster.”
actually, i think the reason i’m not in the article is cuz it was written by heeb’s former books editor, and uh, me and heeb have a somewhat sordid history.
But why the fuck is 50Shekel in there. The guy is a joke, he is nothing to celebrate and he is totally unreal.
because, again, the author is a heebite, and 50 shekel is a darling of heeb–he played their issue #3 release party.
50 Shekel is tooo coool. He is a rapper with a real vision. Messiah or Not, He’s got Matzah Balls!
