what kids these days don't seem to understand about aughts hipster culture is the extent to which being a hipster in the aughts was about being into disco, the-dream, baltimore club, the diplomats, and west african highlife music
When “indie sleaze” was actually happening, it was just called indie. But as the era gets repackaged through playlists, party photos, and Pinterest boards, the Black artists who helped shape the era are being left out.
@Santigold, Spank Rock, and @kilokish shed light on the scene they experienced, the boxes the industry put them in, and how the people telling its story shape what gets remembered.

This weekend in North Los Angeles, CA:
The @StonesThrow 30th Anniversary Fest.
Enjoy.
Seeing The Devils in theaters next week is gonna be so sick. Definitely a film that stuck with me forever when I first saw it, wish we were still in the era of making radical & dangerous films with the best actors in the world with the highest production value too. Don’t miss it
Incredible show last night from Schoolboy Q at The Novo in LA. An hour and a half of straight heat, he really has solidified himself as one of my favorite rappers of all time
My pick for the best Hip Hop album of 2006. The lynguists coming into their own as a full trio and Kno providing some of the most beautiful sounding beats ever.
My next week in LA bout to be crazy. Schoolboy Q on Monday, Dinosaur Jr on Friday, Stones Throw festival Saturday and Sunday

Connie Chan supports Prop 40, the California ballot proposition to tax the wealth of billionaires. Scott Wiener does not.
Congress is not city politics. San Francisco's rep's biggest job won't be deciding on land use policy or deciding if a road should be a park. It will be taking on the billionaire class so we can end money in politics, pass Medicare-for-all, and stop funding endless wars and genocides.
@conniechansf is showing that she's the only one in this race with the guts to do it.
If he’s so strong against AI why did he make a stupid AI chatbot criticizing Chan that was easily manipulated and he was forced to take down
