Sun Ra introducing himself and explaining why he is real.
One thing that is always a thread in Black music innovation is resourcefulness. Limitations and lack of access force creative alternatives. Turntable as instrument, 1.2 seconds of sample time, no manuals, a lunchroom table, all of these pushed the limitations to break mundane.
Rico Wade exits Ebenezer.
Happy 30th anniversary to Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik aka the moment that showed the world that the South had sum'n to say.
Rico Wade was a portal A builder of worlds An investor in human spirits The sub in yo chest The snap-back in yo neck An indelible, fast talking, fast moving, electric presence Our irreplaceable brother.. May his spirit guide us and comfort us til we are done with this world Asé
he bodied every kast album. including idlewild. i’ll die on that hill.
30 years ago today… OutKast. Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik. Game-changing album. From the sound, to the titles, to the slang. It was a statement.
Last stop of Rico Wade's funeral procession was Headland and Delowe. Sleepy Brown left his vehicle to wave to the crowd
the problem is everyone wants to live to see the glory of their impact. no one who knows anything about anything is doing work in the world waiting for the world to love them back. love is an inside job. it radiates when embodied. it attracts. it supports. it uplifts. it just is.

Rico Wade gets laid to rest Friday — the same day OutKast’s debut Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik turns 30. What Rico accomplished in the span of 30 years will live FOREVER EVER. EVER EVER

Rico Wade was many things to folks who knew him personally. I spoke to some of the people whose lives he changed forever. They talked about their friend, who was a chef, sports fanatic, and family man who was always smiling. ajc.com/news/obituarie…

I don't know who needs to hear this, but PARABLE OF THE SOWER by @OctaviaEButler opens in 2024.
rap beef has become the latest distraction from all the wars and genocides and sexual violence hip-hop is so good at ignoring anyway. probably less conspiracy theory than eclipse energy and mercury retrograde vibes. aries got y’all heated.

the halo of blanket, corporate euphoria around any big ticket drop in rap media has turned me off for years. it can feel like the quality and implications barely matter.
he admits that execs see economic incentive in beef. thats why i said "the no. 1 spot" idea is propagated by people with financial stake in tension&division this rift is fun for now, but think about the ones that get dangerous for acts while execs live worry-free &collect the $$

what would you be willing to lose? what will you build/write/believe to fortify yourself? what skills will you learn to preserve yourself and your loved ones so that you may survive/fight by any means necessary? what coalitions will you build? what words WON’T you say? 13/end
anyway, I say all this to say: how are we preparing for the reality that mass arrests and protests are psychologically & physically violent b/c protestors are facing militaries with massive budgets and unchecked power? what will be the aftermath for ALL of us? 8/n
posting your whereabouts and your actions on social media is inspiring, and they also increase state-sanctioned violence & surveillance. posting the books you’re reading in encampments is important, but it makes me wonder why folx want their tools of resistance to be visible. 7/n
these systems use AI and other technology to further surveil folx post-arrest. so yes, the charges may get dropped, but who tf knows what they can & will do with your face and prints when it’s all said and done. 5/n
3000 was the change agent in the group so I understand why people gravitate towards him but Big Boi was equally the one. That’s what separates OutKast from everybody to this day.
Jerry Seinfeld is on the New Yorker Radio Hour blaming "the extreme left" & "PC crap" for why there are no sitcoms anymore. Not streamers or any systemic reasons that we *just* saw at play with the WGA strike. Just "The wokes won't let us make comedy anymore." Absolute brain rot.

Salute to Outkast, One of the best to ever do it. They told a story we had never heard or seen before at a very high level. Besides Scarface, the 1st group from the South that rapped, as well the upper echelon NY rappers. Best duo I had heard since Run_DMC/EPMD, De La
