Pina Colada tastes like suntan lotion. Maybe I only feel this way because I grew up in the 80s but it’s fucked up either way. People shouldn’t have tried to have both. It’s one or the other. Now both are weird. Thanks a lot, Ronald Reagan.

You know it’s silly to boycott Ed Sheeran and support the NFL right? Even if they bring back the ghost of Woodie Guthrie for the Superbowl halftime… it’s still fuck that league. No Kap.

Macklemore and Ed got me reminiscing. Back in 2019 we were booking Epic Beard Men dates, and Sage got invited to play SXSW. When the promoter (who was working with a zionist rapper named Kosha Dillz) heard my name attached, we got this email and uninvited quick.

Indie artists should think twice before signing away any rights to indie labels. Are they gonna do anything for you that you can’t do for yourself? Will you starve waiting for them to pay you out accounting on this release in a few years? Would you like your labor to equal money?

There’s nothing wrong with North West writing songs and doing a show. There’s something wrong with North West being that rich and people who aren’t related to her buying tickets to that show and expecting it to be good.

Tiktok keeps showing me boomers with Karen haircuts who called themselves “estranged parents” talking about their no contact children… … and I keep commenting “it’s your fault. Suffer.” I can stop whenever I want. This is a legitimate hobby.

Made a new friend last night. We like all the same rappers, go to the same barber, and know a lot of the same people. He’s very worried he will be deported on Sep 11. He’s been in this country for 30 yrs and is the sole caretaker of his nine-year-old autistic son and 90-year-old elderly mom.

The old music industry model is dead because it deserved to die. It profited off the labor of artists and treated us like shit. Suddenly your radio station, music journalism website, promoter and distributor can’t help you. Now what?

We are devastated and outraged to hear about Mr. Priciliano Trejo's death. He deserved to be with his loved ones while fighting for his life with leukemia. He deserved proper medical attention & specialist care, not to be caged in a deadly ICE detention center plagued with abuse and medical neglect.

A gift and a curse of mine is that I’m always thinking about when and how things will end. Even when they’re at their height or just beginning. Saved my life more than once. Also causes quite a lot of hardship.

This Summer, Rick Ross and Lizzo sold less copies than my 2010 underground LP. I'm working on a vinyl repress of that album right now. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Also, no one wins.

This afternoon in RI there's an emergency rally to stop ICE from taking someone who's been in the country for 50 years. The sole caretaker of his autistic 9yr old and elderly mom after his wife and father recently died. Abolishing ICE is the centrist position. Prosecuting ICE is the moral one.

Looking out for guards, I motion you through a locked security door to the sub basement of the museum of hip hop. After following me for several minutes down winding unlit corridors, we're there: The vault where we archive Talib Kweli diss records and the thousands of tweets that led to them.
