Mr. Star's use of the pop cultural framework to confront pop/celebrity culture is brilliant. As postmodern as any art being made today. His critics may claim, as did Andy Warhol's, that he's "simply" a fame-seeking media whore; Jeffree's attitude and lyrics show otherwise. He's a celebrity-basher and all around "shit talker." Many celebrities have used the Internet to propel themselves into the spotlight, but in many cases they kiss ass and grovel at the feet of other celebs once they've "made it." Mr. Star's reluctance to do so is one of his most unique and admirable attributes, and truly refreshing.
