Walked in my brand new house & not even 60 secs later....got Karen’d #NotTodaySatan.
today man. sheeeesh. I been living out of Kippling bags, room service, bus bunks, airplane lounges, studios, my 30rock HQs, & crash apts waiting for 28 years to get my 1st REAL "imma grow old here" crib. so this has been an exciting time for this chapter in my life
in my best relationship, gettin my act together (health/business/life goals)--the happiest I've ever been. figuring out where do I wanna "grow old" was a long process in the making especially in the light of covid (took a year for me to find and fall in love w this house)
----so I guess to build up inside (to an already great weekend) the excitement. like that 1st day of school outfit excitement or "finally this album done" excitement. "my first real house!!! after 3 decades drifting"---made a special playlist driving from my apt---pulled up...
---and walked into my new crib and just sat there thinking about my journey: I went from CAPA to a record deal to living in Europe to making cool records & trying new avenues and now im looking at this house wondering what kind of game nights ill host or
How loud grace will lemme blast music before she 😡s. or can the basement house all my records....just the general things 1st timers think abo---"scuse me do you live here?" *POP* (me: can I help you?...this man & his 2 dogs damn near walking in my crib) "you own this house?"
I can't explain this part. the world just stops. I've been pulled over by cops on the way to 30 rock, ive been pulled over by Ice leaving roots gigs in cali, I've been held in rooms by DEA in airports---I just shared on @qls about the humiliation Jurnee & I went thru grammy week
& most of the time I never share that stuff because---I guess the tiny violin in my head just dismisses it----but man there is NO feeling like this type of violation. and I'm certain this guy thought he was doing his due diligence. but that shit is triggering AF man. TRIGGERING.
it was fake passive aggressive politeness/nosey neighbor/audicity/aloofness---shit ruined my day so much I came back to my old apt just to let a week go by to let this anger go. I dont even know why im posting this. im just tired of this shit. I am man. just tired.
aight. rant done. new day tomorrow. im going to sleep. thanks for listening.
*just clearing up cause I ramble, a neighbor took it upon himself to come inside my house to see if I owned it. showed him out and shut the door in his face*

@MikeSegalov I told this story in #MoMetaBlues but it belongs here for the peeps who don't know me. I get a call from Prince's people saying he is throwing a rollerskating jam in "2 hours or so" & "invite some cool people" its 2/14/06 at midnight. normal people are in bed
@MikeSegalov I happened to be at a concert in LA backstage & was surrounded by notable celebs. entire room scoffed at me like "how dare you invite me to a midnight rollerskating party w Prince you peon!" all except one.....
@MikeSegalov "uh yall are appreciating the rare opportunity here.....Prince will be WEARING ROLLERSKATES...gimme address!"

my gf & I arrive to an empty rink. 5 employees who'd rather be ANYWHERE but there are just---well....bored. @DJRASHIDA is spinning for a crowd of none

A thread response part preface warning to people who come to my gigs without pre conceived expectations on what I should or shouldn't play. this is gonna be a long one.
I never try to indulge in individual clapbacks cause I HATE lynchmob social media occurrences when someone with a couple of hundred/thousand followers feels the need critisize my work. and then my defenders speak on my behalf. but I am petty and rarely like to explain myself
This response could be perceived as cocky or arrogant or egotistical. And prolly pretentious But for me its truth. hey I am a music snob so its part "can't tell me nuthin" but its mostly "teach me more music, then I will teach them more music"

Ok a short thread. Once heard a rumor of @Bourdain oustin a chef for rockin #BillyJoel in the kitchen. Of course i was like “that is a ridiculous musical crime (I once dumped a potential girl I was into cause she didn’t see what the big deal in Prince was) he thought i agreed lol
I meant the crime of hating Joel’s music! He said “my kitchen/my rules” —i thought he was joking. He wasn’t. Mofo posted a sign in the kitchen banning Joel’s music from being played In the kitchen
So of course I was like “CHALLENGE ACCEPTED”
