Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in

A Candle With A Broken Wick

This line from Saul Williams’ incredible verse in “Release” by Blackalicious always struck me — judging from the amount of time I spend taking photos of garbage or things that are otherwise destroyed and useless, I suppose you could say I have a bit of a fascination with imperfection. Which is weird, because I consider myself a pretty hard-line perfectionist. But perhaps it’s that dichotomy which fuels the inner chaos I pour out onto the page, day after day, for you ungrateful masses. Or maybe that’s just what I would say if I was a pretentious asshole.

If you missed the song the first time I posted it, make sure to check yourself, lest ye wreck yourself:

Blackalicious - Release
0:00 / 0:00

Easily one of the greatest hip hop masterpieces ever recorded, falling maybe just below Mr. T’s “Mother.”

    Nothing is better than “Mother.”
