This is a true story. Got a DM that said I want to work with your clientele but I don’t want to pay them.
I advocated for working and explained why paying my client for their WORK is a good thing. This follyman said I don’t like to “ruin the magic” with money. I was like YO...the artist is a Father rAp is LABOR what is u saying right now fam!?!?
A few back and Forths later the dude who I don’t know him could be producer or a label owner tells me “I’m on vacation in Monaco with my Wife”.

I lost it inside my head. Vacation!? Monaco!? Money makes you lose the magic of music!?!?! What in the indentured servitude fuckshit!?
Like most of my clients are Dads they have real mouths to feed and making great Hip Hop music that makes us ALL a decent living is a MUST. The babies deserve for their fathers to be paid fairly. Rap is labor. Poverty is violence. Gtfohwtbs

Coachella. I'd been the very first year ever, when it was held in Summer. It was ONE HUNDRED TWENTY DEGREES FAHRENHEIT and I was running from stage to stage taking pics and documenting for platform.net (the original website of crafted by the grafted!!)

Kool Keith...
performing inside a hot dusty sweaty tent, his plastic Elvis/Jermaine Jackson wig literally & figuratively melting into his actual scalp... It was a menagerie of dusty filthy barefoot patchouli-scented mixed with underarm-funk whitewimminz with like ... 50 BIPOC dancing on beat.
Flash forward so so many years to the @coachella with the MadVillain performance. Imagine myself, DOOM, @madlib and assorted people from stonesthrow-whateverthefuck backstage in "VIP" which is still a dusty field with some airstream trailers. Standing around, shooting the shit.

DOOM MEMORY of this morning.

A thread.

At the studio/lab in Medina/Brooklyn I constantly played music. There was a used music shop down the road. Prior to moving to NY for work at Complex, I had come to visit to stay with my Play Brother JASE and his at the time lady. ...
So when the job came up, and DOOM and GRIMM required for me to move to NY, all at once...I asked play bro bro and he said come live there and get a place in his building. I did and it became the studio, the office, the mixing/mastering lab, of course the kitchen/restaurant, etc.
I purchased a CD changer stereo my first day then filled it with 25 of my favorites. This "Dropped" and it was old yet new ... I had all the discs in the changer along with 3 SADE discs, 3 Anita Baker discs, and some Soul/Oldies compilations. NO RAP.

Every day, until November 1 (Dia de Los Muertos) I'm going to be sharing food resources online vis-a-vis DOOM. One of his missions was to "feed the children like Sally Struthers" and the mission continues.

MF DOOM's Villainous Mac & Cheeze (Arthur, 2005) arthurmag.com/2009/09/16/mf-…
Did you know that you can volunteer your time, or give money, or donate food at a food bank near you??

feedingamerica.org/take-action

This is just one organization, but you can visit their site to learn more. EVERYONE has a local food bank & it is very rewarding to volunteer there.
DOOM was interested in healthy food as well. We talked a lot about agriculture & how food grown nowaday does not have the nutrition that the foods of our Grands & Great-Grands used to have.

Best food U can BUY? Find it here at your local farmer's market.

DOOM Memory of the evening.

In 1996 I moved to New York, Brooklyn to be exact, and I started a temp job at Gee Street Records.

Too Poetic, may he rest in peace/paradise, was alive then but had already been diagnosed with cancer of the brain.

RZA often stopped by the office...
I was more impressed by Frukwan & DJ Prince Paul, being a huge Stetsasonic fan, myself. I often greeted them + the dozens of artists signed to Gee Street or with label deals under them, like Tragedy Khadafi's 25 II Life label. One day Prince Paul was in office so was Chubb Rock.
This was 1997. SO MANY YEARS LATER, I was driving DOOM on one of many trips up top. He asked me if we could drive far, I said sure, and we ended up at the home and studio of Prince Paul. I sat, as I always did, working on articles for work (Complex at that time) while DOOM...
