I got a phrase, it's just "Lol, niggers!".
I say this shit loudly and sarcastically to embarrass anyone that shows me a degrading video or meme of black people/black children.
Do you even realize what you're viewing?
Ask yourself how much internet content is just "Lol, niggers!"?
Life is wild and making difficult art is wilder. Never give up on yourself and never look back for nothing.

I destroyed a microphone during my set (of course) and later the sound guy at the club attempted to assault me. Luckily I keep a bat in my car & he quickly backed down.

a single photo taken of this exact performance became probably my greatest and only real tangible musical accomplishment. the photo (taken by Michael Craft) made it onto the cover of "Houston Rap Tapes" by Lance Scott Walker.

04.12.2024 03:13 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0the video racked up substantial more views than any of my material had ever previously received. the problem was, the audio of the performance was only from my vocal mic which taken directly from the sound board. it sounded completely terrible. none of my backing tracks were included in the mix.

I was punching the concrete.

First trip to Oakland. This was in October 2012. I'm a huge Too Short fan. Can't remember the name of the bar but I was excited to be there. It was cold outside & I didn't know anyone. Guy setup most of these shows. The audience was thin so I started rolling around the floor. Angie took this photo.
