Eminem is famous and has won awards and acclaim for his music but this nigga failed as an emcee for having a bar saying “nobody listens to techno” and he from Detroit. Like why the fuck would you say that?

Moodymann looked at me in Copenhagen and said “I may not always play the cool shit but I always play what I love and makes the people feel good”. Then shouted out the crowd and then proceeded to play Liquid Swords and a crowd of thousands went crazy. Grateful to play that stage.

I looked at what music came out in 1976 and 1977 and some of these shits had orchestras, entire bands, some of the best vocals and bridges and the shit be like a 8 minute track sometimes. Weed today get you a nice loop some of the time. 😂

Y’all still “mastering” music? Do you know how oppressive that sounds? We must start using language that doesn’t reinforce a horrific past. Going forward any post audio work will be known as “liberating frequencies”.

Nosy TSA agent went through my passport and saw the Japan visa that said “entertainer” for the occupation. He asked what I do and I said comedy. He asked me to tell a joke and I said people pay tax dollars for your salary and you here wasting money hassling me. Dickhead.

On June 5th @Bandcamp is giving 100 percent of profits to artist. Great way to raise funds to donate to the bail funds and black people. On June 19th they’re giving 100 percent of their profits to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. Don’t ever talk to me about Spotify again.

Like festivals are dystopian as shit. Water is limited or inaccessible to you if you don’t have bread or time to wait, there isn’t enough facilities to accommodate the people present, the staff don’t be knowing shit, infrastructure to move about is trash. What are we doing?

I’m happy they did this interview. If you have your phone out on the floor or need to film every moment on your phone you definitely kill the vibe. Double L if you do it to try and embarrass people who quite literally are at the club for the music itself.
One night in @fabriclondon Michael was dancing alone when someone decided to film him so they could later post it online and troll him
This is his story as he goes back to the club where it all happened

If you wonder why shit not panning out for you remember that it’s important to be a good solid individual outside of the internet as well as to those who can’t really do anything for you. Even then you still may not get exactly what you want but living wicked ain’t it either.

Would anyone support my reality TV series where I intercept DJs and artist before they reach Brooklyn and take them to the Bronx? If they move wrong or don’t pass the vibe check me and the guys just rob them. What y’all think?

The fact there is house music, techno, ghetto house, juke, Footwork and you come up with a lazy ass term like “speed house” so you and your friends can play your EDM shit pitched up and not invite black people.

Like idc how “big” or “small” someone is in the scene you just don’t do shit like book someone and then tell them they can’t play. It’s selfish and just flat out bozo behavior idc if a bag involved. Stop tokenizing people on bookings and do what you want to actually do. 🙄

Imagine getting into music or anything creative because as a yout you felt exiled and ostracized from the cool kids just to become the prick that exiles and ostracizes those that find safety and community in this music shit because your ego and insecurities aren’t in check. WOW.

No way cutting innocent people off from communication with the outside world and or taking away resources necessary for survival can be seen as self defense. Anyone that disagree with the above have their head so far up their ass.

Warm reminder that not all music people are the bubbly, charismatic, engaging people that social media makes us out to be 24/7. It’s impossible for me to be at least. I quite literally dwell in the dark for hours and only emerge to dj, share music, eat at Apolo or have a beer.

YALL REMEMBER WHEN THE WORLD SHUT DOWN AND EVERYONE DECIDED IT WAS OKAY TO CENTER BLACK ARTIST AND ART BUT AS EVERYTHING REOPENED PEOPLE MANUFACTURED CONSENT TO POLICE THE ART AND GRIFT FROM THE SAME SPACES THEY CLAIMED TO CHAMPION. INSTITUTIONS, PUBLICATIONS, CLUBS, ETC. 😌🫵🏾🧿

Pro Tip: not every opportunity offered is meant to be taken and often times something not working out is just the universe protecting you from some shit you don’t need to be doing in the first place.

There can never be real solidarity in DJ strike or Union. I know at least one nigga that would fold for 5 drink tickets, a bag of hot cheetos in the green room and guest list in lieu of a fair fee if the right club ask.

People have the right to protest. You set the curfew and people are trying to get home to avoid getting in trouble and you prevent them from doing so? Police are fucking useless bullies. Like how is this even logical?

Truly wish I was the 16 year old making music on the computer after school again. Not knowing a single fucking person. Not giving a fuck bout anything. The music will forever bring me joy but it was beautiful not knowing a single fucking person in the "scene" or the bs attached.

I think the bouncer yelling at me at Fabric for walking around the club with the Moët was absolutely correct and I was completely out of line for exerting my privilege. I have bought dishonor to my block.

My point was…
Dance music hasn’t been dead in NYC. Wack to say that them 3 dudes “revived” it because shades the hard work all the people from here or invested in the scene put in.
Could’ve said it differently. My mistake. Love to everyone. Back to work cause y’all don’t care.
