Missing that era of rap when artists would place swears and slurs into their album and song titles (see also: NWA & Pac)

Brief Hate Island promo break: On March 19, 1977 David Lynch released his film Eraserhead, so to honor that I uploaded my live set from "GREAT CIRCLES PRESENTS:ERASERHEAD REMIXED," created from sounds from the film. Hope you enjoy. philthspectorxphilly.bandcamp.com/album/eraser...

debut small pro beat set tonight in fishtown (he's previously dj'd for me, small professor), 26 beats to set off '26: an ode to q-tip doing weird stuff on "midnight marauders", DOOM's tv show dialogue sample style on "operation doomsday", and madlib's "the beat konducta 1-2: movie scenes" in spirit

if you've listened to any of my interviews you'd know how monumental this is. most of my damage from 2005 til now was made on a pc from at least 2003, this one has 2014 upgrades

Serial killer or shooting guard. Coulda went either way.

jesus be an alien invasion

Bud.. they better settle… sanitation ends administrations

I think another person who can’t be overlooked is Schoolly D out of Philly. Supposed “gangsta rap” has origins with Spoonie Gee x Schoolly D x Just-Ice x KRS One x Ice T before King T, Mixmaster Spade & Compton Posse all influenced the formation of N.W.A. around Eazy-E’s “Boyz N Tha Hood”

happy nas's best album day

Octavia Butler did. Down to the slogan. Black writers have been telling folks.

I'm really inspired by Ryan Coogler and his love for his craft. It's reigniting something in me.

Just tuning in to this new sleeping dogs album, no surprise that @jessethetree.bsky.social and @searchableandrew.bsky.social killed it. Probably my favorite album from them yet threedollarpistol.com/album/dogsto...
