Nas - Daughters (prod. No I.D.)
Stuff like this is why Nas is the greatest. I can’t think of any other artists who have addressed this topic in the same manner.

Shit, Weezy don’t want it with Ziploc P. I love some beef, but the talent levels here aren’t close.

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?

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.
