meanwhile I have never in my natural life seen a white man and exclaimed "LORD his HAIR so BEAUTIFUL!" and if anyone else out here has ... I have some terrible news for you. It is likely that you're suffering from the effects of false-white-"supremacy". seek help early & often.
One of the craziest convos ever in my life was with my Muslimah Sister we'll call her Khameelah. She visited me at Auntie's house & we were in my room, so we de-'Jabbed. She exclaimed my hair was so nice & I said "it's weird, part straight, part curly, too thin..." I told her...
that her hair was perfect & very beautiful. she is highly melanated and her hair is 9ether hair. She told me that the reason she converted to Islam was so she could always cover her hair, "her shame", with a headscarf. She said in her family wig/weeve is frowned upon by her pops.
Khameelah told me when she was in her late teens men told her she was ugly, "too dark" & that they didn't like her "grade" of hair. So she reverted to Islam FOR THOSE REASONS. I said "Masha'Allah whatever brought U Peace Sis, revel in the here & now, your skin/hair is PERFECT."
I took her on a tour of the house & showed her my cousins. Both have family/wedding pictures. My late cousin's widow is an indigenous woman from what's now called "mexico", another cousin married an Indonesian Muslimah woman. On my Moms' side of the family are many "races"/colors
I explained to her my cousins' wedding photos, in Indonesia they have a "white wedding" lol w/american dress and tux; then the real wedding a "dragon wedding" & U see the photos of my Cuz in Sarong & a kufi-style crown next to his bride in traditional Indo garb. "Masha'allah..."
she said "but why is there a "white wedding" there? No one is white & in the big photo with dozens of guests, everyone is Muslim?" I told her ... EXACTLY. false "white supremacy" is everywhere. infiltrated. a whole ass SCAM. Everywhere people have language, food, art, culture?...
there's no such thing as "white". so why on earth would anyone hero-worship "whites" or their laws or appearance or how they think feel act etc. "white" is not a race, ethnicity, nationality, it is an ABSENCE. A VOID. they are DEVOID of HUMANITY. if u are waking up "white" do...
a DNA test. Unlike Original people, who would need to go to AfricanAncestry.com to get actual results pinpointing their heritage/lineage, "whites" can do any dna test available online and be given info on what land their people hailed from. GRAB U A CULTURE!!! 72% Irish? GO.
Go to Ireland. Look up your people. Learn bout ur food. Discover Irish fine art. Learn the Irish HISTORY, it don't date back that far but some Irish is revolutionaries!! If you're on the right side of Irishdom you're ALL GOOD - U just have to get back your culture. once again...
it has been made simple for U. U were not stolen from Ireland. There's no dispute as to if your ancestor came over on a boat in chains, or was here LONG before Colombus, indigenous, and had THAT heritage erased. YOU'RE IRISH U came here poor as fuck on a boat, or rich AF on one.
Either way U can easily learn, often with little expense or travel, what your Irish folks were up to. Even if they were on the wrong side of history, did awful things to other humans, etc. - YOU can provide PERSONAL REPARATIONS. there are THOUSANDS of Black women #onHere who...

I was in the back of a pearl white stretch limousine in a gown and a faux fur On my way to an industry soirée. My 2way pager 📟 started to go extinction level event crazy. Aaliyah BabyGirl Houghton’s plane crashed after Damon Dash forced her to rush her trip. Tears ruined my face
I asked the limo driver to take me to Harlem I paged Niki to get dressed urgently she met me downstairs in a real fur and full glam. We went to the all night diner and had fries mozz sticks root beer floats onion rings burgers - veg 4 me - and cried in our floats. We barely ate.
Niki asked to stop and cop on the way home. I asked the driver to pull over and I considered for the first time ever in my life using drugs. We dropped Niki and her bag off up top. I’m a dealer not a customer. I fixed my face and swung by the industry soiree it was done. Limo’s
I was very sick and don’t remember what tour this was or if Tajai sent to me or it was on socials. I just know this is a photo that gives a glimpse of the fellas and how hard they work. Deeper still this is DEL. He crouches down or sits on a curb he’s like a skater 🛹. 1000 words
I try not to regret. I don’t like to say I wish… and I HAVE had the chance to be on a few days of a tour run with Hiero or Souls. I’ve been on the bus or the van - sometimes Domino or Casual didn’t like that I was there and that’s part of their dynamic too! BUT I never got to…
Be the road manager for Hiero or Souls. A few non-hieroglyphics have done it. No one can do it BETTER than Tajai it Domino. But I’ve done it from bed in Oakland in so much pain - advanced shows for Souls/strong arm steady with Tajai doing the overseas in person road management…
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!!)
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.
I'm going to be giving the FLOWERS today to one of my most Beloved loved ones. Before he stopped eating pork, he was the ONLY man for whom I'd ever make pork sausage or pork chops ... now he eats more healthy & enjoys a lot of soups.
PLEASE feel free to chime in with your favorite songs, videos, images, memories, FILMS, TV SHOWS, books, etc. Let's give it UP today in the name of the Lo Lifes, BIC VIC LO, @ThirstinHowl3rd the original PoloRican ... a man with a thousand names and a hundred thousand raps. ...
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.
