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.

    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

  3. 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.

  4. 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?

  5. “Made You Die” (Trayvon Martin Tribute) - dead prez, mikeflo, & Mos Def

  8. "Now competition is none / Now that you’re gone / And these brothers is wrong / Using your name in vain / And they claim to be New York’s King."

    Dr. Dre - Fuck You (feat. Snoop Dogg & Devin the Dude)

    Shit, I know it’s not right, but Dre’s first line is the truth. I want to be all anti-sexist all the time, but sometimes it is what it is. Life isn’t lived in a politically correct vaccuum. Nah mean?
