autumn song
a baby leopard seal slug
fell out of my shoe and lay on its side
hunched over the emptiness beneath its foot
without touching its body I lifted it up
and put it on a bed where basil is growing
and a voice said, "I did that too, when I carried you in a napkin!" ๐พโฏ๏ธ
Finally got round to playing Genesis Owusu album, Red Star Wu + the Worldwide Scourge.

Kdot not interested in fame.
He a working artist with a family to support, kids to raise, and a community to serve. A culture to serve.
His GNX album wasn't about numbers or fame. The massive GNX stadium tour wasn't either.
It's all for the love of hip hop. ๐๐ฟโโ๏ธ๐
Hiphop doesn't care how successful or not that Canadian ninka Drake is with his Temu pop album collection. He can sell gazillions and it won't change the fact he is not hiphop. Everyone clear on that now. #notlikeus
Drake's albums are the kind of albums you can review without listening to them.
I know this because I study rap battle losers for a living. ๐คท๐ฟโโ๏ธ
I wouldn't accept financial support, donations, loans or gifts from a registered sex offender - someone who did prison time for trafficking minors - cuz regardless of any rehabilitation there's no way I'd trust that person to babysit my baby sister or any of our whanau kids. ๐คท๐ฟโโ๏ธ
And if I couldn't do that, if I wouldn't and couldn't leave them alone with my little sister or with any of our whanau kids, then I'd feel a way about accepting money from them. I'd feel ick. Total ick.๐คฎ js
Didn't expect Joscha Bach @Plinz to up and unfollow. Pretty sure he's the same good dude, brainy as fck, addicted to learning, an explorer by nature, someone who admires beauty and thinks humans are interesting. But IMO as capable of making poor decisions/choices as I am. ๐พ๐๐ฟโโ๏ธ๐ฆ
Giving A$AP a listen. He's way more interesting than J Cole. Cole got that dilettante thing going that makes some actors great at acting but without artistry. He can act like a rapper without being one. A$AP moves around the rap game like the horse in chess. ๐คท๐ฟโโ๏ธ
I think what Joscha Bach may need
is a kahu tลฤซ made of snow
whose collar weighs so heavily
it turns his shoulders into eaves
and beautifies what lies below.
