Solar eclipses and MCs are apologizing. This is reality.

Honestly speaking I wasn't moved much by the solar eclipse didn't see it well here in Santa Barbara but in other parts of the country, it looked amazing, so once again wtf SB!

Also, what is going on in the game?!?! We got J Cole apologizing about a diss track he wrote that wasn't even good yet he is in his feelings? I come from the school of the Wu Tang and this is not how you hip hop. MC skills are refined in battle rapping and if you can't participate in the verbal discourse arts then don't call out or put yourself in a position to get slaughtered by the culture.

I am Hip Hop
I am Rock and Roll
Been here forever
They just ain't let you know

Let's Talk New Noize...

I love shadow drops and free records and Pharrell did just that, lawsuits and all. This is how you play the game and what a fun album. A bunch of other records dropped in including the new one from Khrungbing A LA SALA (all caps), which is one of my favorite records of 2024. At this point, I have developed a clear bias for all things Khruangbin and words can not contain my excitement to see Khruangbin at the Maddona Inn plus pink cake. Yes, cake. Shabazz Palaces dropped a record and it's one of their darker-themed concepts which I am all about. The New Noize album of the week goes to Vampire Weekend and I celebrated by playing their longest song "Hope"

Hope was not the longest song I played on last night's set, it belonged to the New Noize song of the week, "Dream State" by Kamasi Washington featuring Andre 3000 on flute.

EID IS ON WEDNESDAY. I am grateful regardless of how bleak things look the deen is strong. I encourage you to stand in solidarity and take the day off this Wednesday unless you live in NYC where it is an actual holiday. I wish all of America would celebrate with me. 

Baby steps.

See you next Sunday.
