Yasiin Bey/Mos Def flowing over Madlib’s “Auditorium” at Mike’s Young World V yesterday.

It is sad to realize how people act as though if they didn’t live a lie, that they’d ultimately be a nobody. That the only way to be a somebody in their minds is to live a lie.

🎶 “Made Niggaz”
People like to paint Pac’s career like he was a Chuck D who went to the Dark Side. But sinister, paranoid Pac was always there. It’s just that by 1996, that side of him had damn-near overtaken everything else. He was fully into the villain role after a point.
“Every body spinning but missing the big part
Y’all make music for niggas that get caught
I rather drop shit, live as a nobody
Now.. they get on the net and tell on they own body”

Sometimes I wish I didn’t have morals. If I was a real grifter and a scammer, I’d make so much money. People want to be lied to. Folks want to be sold a dream and to be affirmed. It’s very easy to exploit people and their insecurities when you’re a piece of shit and don’t care.
