I thought it was understood that horace had to wear his goggles at all times. How do we know that's not harvey?

As rosenberg even mentions in the interview, horace unfortunately is one of those people who played way too close to greatness and as you can probably guess, they spend this entire thing talking about michael jordan. Man I f**king hated michael jordan. The first basketball game I ever watched was between chicago and new york. It seemed like the whole world was rooting for chicago so instinctively I went with new york. I was so loyal to my knicks fandom that after such a protracted period of heart break, I had to stop watching basketball altogether. But during those years when I was still stanning for john starks/allan houston, one thing remained a constant, michael jordan was such a piece of sh*t. Watching the knicks go up against him was like getting jumped in a gang or some sh*t. You prayed for an alternative but you knew what was going to happen. It's as if he just willed it, like he controlled the energy in the arena. Sometimes I think it was my first introduction to nihilism. There really seemed to be no point. No team was safe. Now that I think about it in hindsight though, I kind of get it. What was the point of being a fan of anyone other than chicago? we all knew who was winning in the end. Some of us hoped otherwise but in our prematurely embittered hearts we knew.

All that to say, from what I've seen this season, steph curry is probably the goat.

Dooope. I saw somewhere that they call their sh*t "sob rock" hahaha, I get it though. Something about this really reminds me of blockbuster video for whatever reason. Blockbuster video and wood paneled basements. Both with "cheers" playing wordlessly in the background. Oh god never mind, that might be too depressing for me. Seems like this nineties alternative vibe is making a real comeback. I wasn't anywhere near riding that wave the first time it came around. You couldn't really avoid it completely but I certainly wasn't buying it. Except this one veruca salt lp, they had some jams.

Holler at this sh*t right here. You're going to need a favorite uk emcee, might as well start looking around.

This is a pretty classic example of that rap&b sh*t that's really having it's moment right now. I'm not going to front, I don't anything about ishmael raps but this motherf**ker definitely sounds focused. The part about the check coming in, in, in, in.... is personally my favorite part.

Said them boys we no play round here! The amount of socially conscious rap music coming out nowadays is a nice surprise. It's not that squeaky clean talib kweli brand of sh*t either. That's what always kept me from checking for any of that stuff. There's no reason why you can't be a thinking person and still enjoy things. Like the god 3000 said, not every nigga with golds is for the fall. Also just the hypocrisy of all those dudes know what I mean? kweli making songs about loving and respecting black women while only f**king asian groupie b*tches. Hahahaa, that's a completely unfounded rumor I heard but I'm sticking with it. I once had a big debate with this coffee shop college boy about who had a bigger positive impact with colored folk between kweli and hov. My theory was that only white people listen to kweli, so f**k you, you don't know sh*t. Do I have something against kweli? I don't know but there's definitely a chance.

Taken from Alice Bomans debut EP - Skisser. The vinyl version is sold out but the track can be found on the CD found here: http://adrian.tictail.com/product/alice-boman-ep-ii-skisser-cd Listen to the track on Spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/track/7eClkLWbrr3TorYedzaDkI The PAL-remix of this track is featured in the show Transparent and can be hear here: https://open.spotify.com/track/0Ncn23ImrJf7J4Wib9Fd8I Alice is doing all the dancing in the video.

Oh man, this is my type of sh*t right here. When given the option I usually end up throwing something like this on and reveling in the orgasmic feeling of staying on the line between smiling and weeping. You should try it, it's fun AND depressing. I couldn't decide if I liked this live version better, but I might. If you watch it, pay attention to that mic combination they got going on. I don't know the mics or anything but you can tell by the shapes that whoever set it up knows what's up. This song was also in that nigerian movie I saw, which was both kind of surprising and also a reminder that I didn't know sh*t about the state of nigerian film.

I like this interview for it's historical significance, for what I imagine will ultimately become it's archaelogical importance. This is the day rappers, me included, finally stood up to tyrannical radio dj's. The day we finally started the climb to overthrow the oppression of their f**king played out instrumental choices. The instrumentals these motherf**kers throw on during freestyle segments are the same instrumentals you would have heard ten years ago. Quite often it's the same instrumentals you would have heard almost twenty years ago. The crazy part of it is that you'll never convince them that that sh*t is crazy.

I'm going to officially start checking for stizz regularly, this motherf**ker is nice. I'm also looking forward to getting a new perspective on boston. If you're from around here (montreal) you know what the average boston dude interaction is like. If you're not from around here, allow me to explain that sh*t. Out here the drinking age is eighteen, so every weekend certain parts our city are swarmed with obnoxiously wasted bostonian white guys with polo shirts and military-style haircuts failing to pick up women and deciding that fighting in the streets is almost as good. It's not homie, it's not! In fact, now that I think about it, and also for the sake of narrative closure, I've seen quite a few of them get their bells rung.

This to me feels like the future of soul music man. The production has this rap influence that really brings something different to the songs, fortunately without that rap influence extending into the way he's delivering the lyrics, at least not in the way rap music has pretty much entirely cross pollinated with r&b nowadays. I've heard so many artists recently where I can't even tell if it's r&b or rap. Not that that's important or whatever, but a motherf**ker like me likes to be able to classify things I guess. There's this haphazardness in the production that I'm really loving right now, it's like he's singing on a mc tree beat or something. The first three tracks on this project are crazy. I don't know how you couldn't be with it after a motherf**ker samples kanye's "all falls down". Remember "all falls down"? the version with the lauryn hill sample was huuuuge when it dropped. 2016 is turning into the year of kanye nostalgia for me. If you want to finish out the trifecta, here's the third track "ratchet blues". I have a feeling whatever titus has coming next will be f**king transcendent.
