a tactical lesson from the good people of Egypt for when the internet disappears during your future protests
these uprisings and revolts were NEVER a product of social networks like Twitter or Facebook. Individuals who play into this narrative are doing Empire a service. These rebellions are a result of people’s investment in organizing and collective dignity...

KnoTe-worthy: You. →
pencilskirtsknotepad:
I’ve got the rhythms
For you to put your blues to bed too
Even when I’ve got you singing them
From the moment we met
You’ve worn your deep color
Against an 80’s pop inspired-
Flash of bright colored backgrounds
Which lack intensity
Unlike yours
because this poem is about what an incredible and deep effect we can have on another hue-man, be-ings life and...

Teeth & Trees

Maybe another beer will calm me
Calm me the way my mother did after my pop beat my ass for going outside without a sweeter
And he was still a good...

Danny Brown w/ Noz pt. II →
I’m glad they stopped talkin’ about Lil’ B and got around to influences, hip hop trends, voices and ideas.
Brown shares a lot of truthiness about New York rap, white boy rap, Def Jux, Stones Throw, and the new crop of rappers.
Brown’s mention of Korn and RAGE made me smile and remember why I loath the pussy ass sounds of “Indie rock” so much
