Lowkey - Dreamers (feat. Mai Khalil)
Sometimes I really really hate myself / Sometimes I wish that I could change myself / Sometimes I don’t wanna give no more / Sometimes I just don’t wanna live no more -
"I never even thought about whether or not they understand what I’m doing … the emotional reaction is all that matters as long as there’s some feeling of communication, it isn’t necessary that it be understood."

K’naan - Nothing to Lose (feat. Nas)
This song is dope (well, the verses at least) and K’naan is no doubt one of my favorite artists, I think one of the best lyricists out there, but all the stuff on that More Beautiful Than Silence EP is way over-produced, especially the hooks. There’s no need for that from the guy who’s raw enough to make a beat using the sound of water. It’s as if the label told him he needs to increase his appeal to the rich liberals who think Bono is a revolutionary. These choruses are made for off-key singing by a crowd of mainstream democrats.

Nneka - Melroze Magazine
I do the music in the first place without my mind. I’m not very rational about it. I feel that the fact that I gained the inspiration in the dark, I use music as a sort of tube, a transmitter, kind of like a transition, a possibility for darkness to become light.

R.I.P. MCA
Another loss for Hip-Hop. Everyone gotta die, but can’t it sometimes be those old rock and roll dudes instead?

Marlins' Ozzie Guillen apologizes over Castro flap - Boston.com
I was trying to watch Sportscenter, but I changed the channel because I was sick of all the anti-Castro propaganda. None of these mainstream outlets are even providing any background on what supposedly makes Castro so bad.
All that matters is that this is America and we hate him. The ESPN anchor referred to Cuba as the island Castro “took over” more than fifty years ago. “Freed it from a brutal dictator” would’ve been a better choice of words, but that’s just me. I know it hasn’t been all good since the Revolution, but the portrayal is ridiculously one-sided. It’s a real petty look for the US.
What if a 1950’s manager had made favorable comments about Batista? You know he wouldn’t be getting suspended. You can be responsible for as much brutality as you want as long as you stay Washington’s dog.
This shit is all so obvious. Why do people keep buying it? Just bring out Tech so he can “run through Little Havana yelling Viva Fidel!”

This Raw Cold Life
This raw cold life is a beautiful thing. —Mos Def
My name is Shaun and I make paintings, drawings, and poems. My art is a reaction (one of many) to the countless and varied inspirations I encounter. This is an informal collection of such things, too scattered and far-reaching to be condensed into a single label.
