okay technically it’s Andy Grammar cause I moved upstate in 2017 and he went to my high school, but nobody playing that weak ass music #respectfully #nothingpersonal #imsurehesaniceguy
+ I was born & raised in Staten Island so you know we gotta rep the Wu. 36 Chambers & Cuban Linx some of the greatest records of all time.

Normally not a fan of compilation LPs
But I'm a huge Wu head from way back (I can remember taking the ferry to Shaolin just to see the first Wu-Wear store)
and I don't think Ghost (nom de reality: Dennis Coles) or any of the others repping the W really get their just due as rhyme stylists.
Banger after BANGER on this record: "Run," "Biscuits," "Holla," "Be Easy," "Killa Lipstick" and esp "Back Like That" are among the best things any Wu-dude ever did solo. Master of the non-sequitur and a guy who pretty much pulls his own lingo out of thin air, I always thought RZA's deep-soul Jones was best realized on Ghost's tracks. Hip-hop GOLD and a good reminder of how the underground became the mainstream, over time.

Daft rap from the shadows of New Jersey’s most swampy lake community. Warbler Core. 420 Core. Eastern-European tinge.

I don’t understand how yall end up at these random ass places you do, come across the books on ancient polyrhythmic science or whatever you read, listen to those indescribably niche tracks I’ve never heard of before or since, or host art installations from your makeshift garage, but I love hearing about every little bit of it, beyond fascinating to know all your stories and passions and the things that occupy ya mind and keep you alive. It’s like a big canvas comprised of different jagged pieces that all add up to a whole.
I’ve only been on the app for two weeks or so and it’s already partly helped me heal from a lotta past grief and pain so I’m grateful to interact with yall.

It’s cool to learn new things, it’s cool to develop some new skills. It’s cool to be able to access a whole bunch of data and knowledge at your fingertips.
Don’t let some guy on a podcast become your father figure or give you financial advice or try to anoint you with another monolithic identity not too dissimilar from the one you vowed to leave behind.
Life doesn’t get any better, but YOU do.
