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.

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?

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.
