THE GROUND BREAKING & LEGENDARY FAN FAVORITE "TRUE SPIRIT AND NOT GIVING A FUCK" LP IS BEING RE-RELEASED FOR THE FIRST TIME ON WAX IN LIMITED QUANTITIES
many moons ago i did a story on an artist named B L A C K I E and had it confirmed to me on condition of anonymity that B L A C K I E’s music was being played in the studio during the Yeezus sessions.
Kanye also lifted some of the aesthetic as well.

“I invented every style of music of the past 20 years. I created this genre. I created Weeknd's genre, Trav, Drake. I'm gon' head & say it, Future & Thug also….. It's called 'making your own money' genre.” -Kanye West

Art museum performance was unhinged. Full moon type stuff. Freestyled over a unreleased soundscape track for 7 minutes. Only photo I got of the speaker stack beforehand. Thanks Ciaran for making it happen.
Cops arresting folks in the background of this show, this was on Westheimer Street in Houston 2009. They shut it down again in 2010. Video is on youtube somewhere...
Cops shutdown this house spot frequently. My camera guy got arrested for running his mouth. I have the address tattooed on my leg. It's an empty lot now.
B L A C K I E was featured on Bandcamp Daily with many other great experimental artists in Houston. This is really cool to me. Houston has a long history of experimental music and I'm grateful to be a part of it.
@BillyVicente_
Agreed,there are amazing Black Musicians making boundary pushing or at the very least very good music

come to mind but IMO they manage to skirt past the "Black Alt" stuff, their art doesn't give me "Manufactured" vibes like target gal
Unfortunately, I got called to meet with alot of successful people last year. one of them being this man's wife... they were all dining and buying drinks all night at an expensive 5-star hotel here in Houston. Fuck everything this guy said in that interview about "cApItAlIsM".

pull into a convenience store parking lot in the middle of the day take some big speakers out of his car set them up then do a free impromptu live to whoever happened to be standing there and then leave without saying anything to anyone lol a true icon
Up for sale: Five rare 180g copies of "IMAGINE YOURSELF IN A FREE AND NATURAL WORLD". A wild, no samples, Free Jazz/Noise Rap album I recorded and released myself back in 2014 that got reviewed by Pitchfork. (shout out Lawrence!!!)
I am working on some extreme shit. Coming out hopefully soon. It may be "face the darkness 3" or I may call it something else. I am not on the internet like that and I want to make it clear I am not. So if you follow me, thanks. I'll probably change something. Happy to be alive.
i like when there is a full moon. i like when there are birds hiding in the grocery store at night chirping. i like buying flowers and shopping while it's empty. i like the cashier. he picked up my flowers when they fell off the cart.
A LOT OF RAPPING OVER ODD TIME SIGNATURES AND OTHER INNOVATIVE PRODUCTION COLLIDING ON THIS ONE. MUCH LOVE TO THE FANS OF THIS. NEXT ONE WILL HAVE MORE BARS.

the sun comes out on a cold day and i feel young again. i'm wearing my favorite jacket. my favorite uncle mailed it to me. it's old but these things last. my hair is long. it falls forward like antennae now. there's no one around and i feel safe.
I got the cops called on a church twice. I got the cops out at the local skatepark. This was 2007. (Wow, check my white homie playing live drums with my noise rap productions in 2007)
I got the French police called out "somewhere I can't spell" way out in Europe in 2012. I was used to it happening in America but that was interesting. Not many photos exist but this is the gear I had. Fuck it. This is my way of documenting this. Noise is soul. Stay up my nigga.
IF YOU SHUT UP SOMETIMES YOU HEAR GOD. CONSTANTLY RECORDING & MAKING NOISE. ON A FESTIVAL SOON. DRAWING UP IDEAS FOR MORE SPEAKERS. BUYING NEW SAXOPHONES. HATE BEING MENTIONED WITH THEM. LOVE SEEING THE MOONLIGHT ALONE. WHY THE POLITICIANS DIVIDE & THE ARTISTS BRINGING TOGETHER?
50,000 years ago an asteroid hit Earth at speeds of 26,000 mph & caused the formation of this crater. It's 2.4 miles in circumference & roughly 550 feet deep. It's also the world's best preserved crater ☄️🌏
I'M EMBARRASSED TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH MOST THESE MOTHERFUCKERS. FUCK EM. DON'T MENTION MY NAME WITH THEM EVER AGAIN. I'LL SAY IT AGAIN. I'M ASHAMED TO EVEN BE IN THE SAME SENTENCE AS THESE MOTHERFUCKERS. I'M AN ARTIST. I SPIT ON YOU.
You never know what someone is going through so make sure you really kick their ass in case they got a raise or it's their birthday or maybe they are just trying to have a good day in general. We're not gotta let them enjoy shit.

I remember them shutting off the power on you at the Elks Lodge in Boston (initially I thought your system blew it out) but those of us who followed you to the house venue got a very special set afterward
Nobody:
Nodamnbody:
Me (alone in my kitchen talking to myself ): Nigga, I feel like 50% of my old shows would get shut down and sometimes the promoters themselves fucking arrested.
A lot of stuff I’ve recorded is going to be close to ten years old or older! This song in particular has close to 100K views! I’m sitting under a tree laughing.
