About Me

I really like this excerpt from an interview of Hugh Masekela in Waxpoetics. Q: What is your perspective on the '60s and '70s Black music exchange between Africa and America? A: Well, I was brought to the U.S. by jazz. And everybody is moved by what inspires them, you know? There are no rules. If you like Picasso's stuff and you decide to move to Paris to be exposed to that situation, then nobody can say, "You shouldn't go to Paris because you're stealing from Picasso" or "You shouldn't go to Paris because you're Black." All the limitations that people put on themselves-and on genres-to me is a bunch of bullshit. To me, it's an open world, and you can experince many things. This stuff is not exclusive, you know? Nothing is exclusive. Otherwise the Beatles and Elvis and the Rolling Stones would never have happened.

Sounds Like: I sanded my profile and the brand came off. I don't think it's fair to make comparisons. I prolly don't do what you do. I grew up with a lot of musicians and artists. I work with hip hop folx, even study them. I'm prolly not hip hop. One time in Albuquerque, this kid said I sounded like a disc I had given him of some L.A. undergrounders (Freestyle Fellowship, Project Blowdians, and whatnot). Obviously I have been influenced by them, but they might not appreciate being compared to my likes. People say my vocal work sounds more like slam poetry than lyracism. Poets might be insulted. My record spinnin...they don't call me sandpaper for nuthin. My beats...most of my beatmakin friends won't comment. I don't fuck with music cause I wanna eat off it. I love music, and without creative expressive outlet might want to be even less personable than I am now. To be honest, I wish I could have near infinite time and access to instruments, or at least be in a band. Really, this page is not so much about my music, as it is about tryina get free stuff. I also need to practice my writing.
Type of Label: None
