European friends:
the anticon books are now available to order through the fine folks at HHV

one can only hope their book becomes as beloved by heads as Bomb the Suburbs is
This was required reading for my generation of hip-hop in the 90s. I was about to say that Upski never gets mentioned anymore, but he gets quoted handsomely in the anticon books recently published by @caltrops_press. I need to revisit this one.
he's not wrong

At this point in time, there needs to be more conversation on how dope Anticon were. Especially now that a lot of the young cats are making music like what they were making 25 years later.

An UNDERRATED album from my dude @mcsole
Itโs funny hearing podcasters and shit saying no one listened to our music. I sold over 30,000 copies of this album with no marketing, no managers , no Caroline distribution, just buzz because we were doing something different with a different perspective.
while weโre on the subject of anticon history:
not many of us have an album as good
or better than selling live water.

I'm embarrassed to say I never knew what Jel stood for until today thanks to @caltrops_press

friends, the following websites are AI-slop review sites:

look for the clues:
-absent (or made-up) bylines
-impossible degree of output
-formulaic reviews that aggregate existing info on the internet

Peace,
I just launched a gofundme to help with leftover medical cost from my kidney transplant. If you are able, everything helps. If not please pass it on.
Thank you

AI companies are trying to make being a loser seem cool. Their campaign slogans are literally, โyouโre not gonna win,โ โdonโt fight it,โ and โadapt or die.โ
And people respect this?
โYou're not gonna win, there's no fighting AIโ
Diplo's take on AI is spot on, and he's ahead of 99% of creatives, across all disciplines
