Watching #TheWiz currently—-what house in NYC could host a family of 24?!——-asking fo—-yo just answer
& that ENTIRE family of 26 just so happens to know how to belt gospel tunes & knew an unreleased Nick & Val composition?
Back to the kitchen, how did they hook up all that food in such little time?
Dude....the second one of them graffiti kids walked towards me
Wait you could just say a real NY address like that?
What’s a ‘Wiz’?
I can tell Diana was practicing that “misssssWAN” in her Waldorf Astoria Suite 3am that morn huh?
Damn man. Scarecrow & his low self esteem.
MJ man.....6 lifetimes of work done in less than 60
Damn that one Crow has just one job....”not embarrass myself singing that ONE adlib in ‘You Can’t Win” fail
Lol 1st time I’m ever looking at only Diana trying to hide from the entire crew that Mike will annihilate her dancing (& ad libbing)
“WHAT??!” (Me running once those women start singing background at Coney Island)
TEEEEEE—-NEHH
I’ll admit, this movie taught me the word “Lubricate”
Seeing Nipsey Russell is making me miss our manager Rich.....also watch MJ the entire time Tinman does that tap solo —-ol bol can dance
My fav adlib bout to happen “cause iissAA EHasah KIIIIIIIIIING OF THE JUNGLE HEAAAAAAA HA HA!!!!”
The Wiz is the first black horror film in which black people don’t seem too scared once the bullshucks starts (to this day I got zero teeth on my trashcans
Was Diana rocking sketchers? You supposed to be runnin that fast in those silver slips?
Quincy: hey Louis can you gimme as close as we can get to “For The Love Of Money?” w/o Clive/Gamble/Huff’s lawyers calling us?
Tinman could be sent to HR for these liquid scenes in 2021
Lol Lion gave that damb deflective performative ass speech to keep them from the realization that he dumb?
Damn Tinman you knew you wasn’t gonna even get close to killin “A Lion!!!!!!!!” ad lib, but you still tried tho huh?
Nothing will ever describe being 7 years old watching this Green/Red/Gold sequence in a sold out movie theater. Whole theater was jammin.
Wow man: Diana & Quincy & Kweli are the only principal characters still alive from this movie
Was it all a dream?

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)

@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!"
-Eddie Murphy.

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”
