Dearly beloved...

I am grateful to be in the company of the ones I love.
I am also clinically/mentally unwell.
Your support means everything to me.
Thank you Ms. Ivy for posting artwork, of which I hope inspires my gang.
Inspiration and motivation makes for great creations.

I am proud of 9th for coming out of his shell, while still being a (relatively) young soul brother.

Alchemist has branched off into doing movie scores, from which are awesome (no words could better describe it).
RIP Metal Fingers. Your influence is heavy on my heart.

DJ Jazzy Jeff is a PILLAR, I tell ya.

DJ Green Lantern has been dipping into his soul bag, and making people drop their jaws with awe.

Jim Carrey is back in the driver's seat as Julian Kintobor (Robotnik, if you will).

Korn is always up to something.

Andre 3000 is as elusive as Korn, which makes him the silent assassin of music passion.

There are more members, including a match of wits between Samiyam and Pharrell Williams.

Just when you think one wins, the other gets a leg up.

This is the kind of verzuz that would never get aired, because as long as it's going on, everything is going down.

Or, as long as it's going down, everything is going on.

I am aware that not all members of #TheGang are not multiples of me (Chloe x Halle, Eminem, Jay-Z).

But they are responsible for my hardcore belief in self.

What do you do when the world is hinging on you being mean to it?

Thank you for rocking with me.

Special shouts in particular to Erykah Badu and NoID.

I feel like the combination of the two define where I'm at in my life.

I still and always will love you, Jill Scott.

Happy New Year to all.

DOOM Williams! is on the rise.....

RIP BIZ *again*

Art Baddie: Melody Ehsani

Melody Ehsani is one of the biggest baddest creatives out there right now

I've loved Melody ever since I saw her jewelry collection at Karmaloop back in like 08.

In the past year I found out she's actually responsible for the jewelry on New Amerykah Part 1 

Not to mention this Lauryn Hill collab

Not to mention she was the first woman to have a store on Fairfax in LA.... which I will FOR SURE be going next time I'm out there, mad I couldn't last time, tbh.

soon soon

Art Baddie: Roseleen Norton

"I came into this world bravely, and I will leave this world bravely."

-Rosaleen Norton

Currently watching what I thought was a movie, but turns out to be a documentary on this incredible woman/witch/artist from New Zealand/Australia.

I'm so obsessed with her work- the languid forms, beautiful shading and texture... and above all the creativity of subject matter. So much more to learn...

Baduism

It's an actual and real thing. 
Through it, I discovered that I am not a Paganist (despite my adoration of SEGA).

I see Wicca as a baby form of Witchcraft, and I'm hardcore with mine.

Though I've been mixing since forever, I started DJing the same year I devoted my life to #TheCraft.

20Hamil10.

To be civil with people around me, I constitute my actions and activities as a part of #Baduism.

I love Ms. E. Badu. 

We would rock together.

It's just... right now, I'm incompatible.

Just Music and I.

Huge shout out to Stephen Torton for keeping 

Basquiat's legacy alive

"That's some black paint on top of some green paint."

Love the way this interviewer tries to get him to explain his complex, random mind and paintings. 

Literally laughing out loud.

Do ya OWN thing

"I don't think about art when I'm working, I try to think about life."

-Basquiat

The amount of artists on social media trying to replicate the innate genius of Basquiat is mind blowing. Do ya own thing, boo.

The Real Basquiat

I SWEAR I see so much Charles in Basquiat's presence/demeanor...

And let me just say.... the interviewer bugs tf outta me. I can't tell if he's low key racist (I mean, it was the early 80s) or just an idiot, but regardless of his awkward questioning I love seeing this side of Basquiat... I feel we don't have enough video of him just being him in his space.

Basqui-s (we are)

I feel like we (#CGi) have this man in our veins.

This is my first time researching him. 

His name has come up MANY times (understatement) in the poetry circle in NYC.

I have been compared to him many times, in many different circles (including the poetry circle in NYC).

I see it.
I feel it.

Still, I didn't realize how similar we were (!) until I watched a few videos about him.

Eerie similarities.

Fresh inspiration.

Shouts to Mz. Eyevee for the connect.

Good shit, 9th and Al!

Badu holla at me! 

I connected to Warhol's art and Basquiat's persona.

Andy B., anyone?

God is now NoID. Rest in peace, -taker.

Jesus is Miri Bin-ari. You are appreciated.

Satan is Joe Hahn from Linkin Park {I thought his name was Phoenix}. Sleep not.

The Undertaker, Erykah Badu and Carlos Santana shall continue to reign, but must not be utilized. For the benefit of you yourself.

The new 3 is sharper, more volatile and need the same amount of love.

You know what love is.

Flowers bloom.

After Hub's passing, it became blaring-and-glaringly obvious that ?uesto Mars deserves his flowers.

Being a musician, I am proud of the strides The Roots have made.

Breaking it down, CapKirk/Kamal has an edge.

Poyser is among the most creative.

Hub brought #deepvoicefunk through his basslines.

Black Thought is one of the greatest all-around rappers ever.

?uesto is a sampling peepeehead.

Do not sleep on ?uestlove.

With us all being on the same page, ...do not sleep on ?uestlove.

Man down.

Some of the ...well, 2 of the greatest producers in Hip-Hop have gang ties. DEEP, serious gang ties. As in, one is the OG Blood, the other is the OG Crip. If I make a big song on one's beat, I catch beef with the other. And I love them both. Still, they both are making strides towards peace, and are dropping FLAMES with instrumentals. 

Give peace a chance.

One time for ya mind (dem).
