In these times when the term genius is massively overused, today the world lost a real one, with the departure of Lee Perry(Rest in Peace). I was lucky enough to interview him once, and every sentence he output had at least three levels of meaning. A master, a huge influence.
Having exposed the secrets of the Afghan war, Julian Assange is being pursued for a 175 year prison sentence for publishing evidence of war crimes and abuses in #Afghanistan and beyond #FreePress

49 y.o. Steve Gaines, the emcee better known as Baba Zumbi from the Bay Area rap group Zion I, passed away from COVID-19 complications in Oakland, California on August 13, 2021. He is survived by his three sons. #SoulLostToCovid https://t.co/RuuEwvBTuM
@flyinglotus you must get this often, but I just want to thank you for Yasuke. It an absolutely gorgeous soundtrack. So innovative. Continue to be a constant inspiration. Brainfeeder forever!
Julian Assange turns 50 in prison today. His “crime” is publishing journalism that exposed US war crimes in Iraq.
Meanwhile George Bush is free, Cheney is free, Condi Rice is free, Colin Powell is free & the guy who lead the Democrat push for the war is president. What a world
RIP Gift of Gab. A behemoth blessed w/ a tuba baritone traveling at light speed, who bent language and split syllables into wild color & weird shapes. The analog arsonist, a virtuoso defining the late 90s/earlys 00s underground. An unforgettable force, eternally first in flight.
I wasn't planning on sharing anything today. But, listening to my unreleased music with Gift of Gab, I suddenly felt very selfish to be the only one who could hear this song today.
"I Once Was" RIP Gift of Gab
Gift of Gab has passed away. I know he'd been going through a lot physically for years and hope there is some sort of peace for him now. May his family and friends find comfort in their memories. Another sad loss for our community. Rest in peace Tim.
