diggy (while i dig out)
Mar 31st
i’m working on a few things. one being myself. the others: variations of my writing. so for now, i will post a few things that catch my eye or ear. keepin’ it kinda light because it’s pretty deep behind the scenes. i’ll share when i resurface.
SO. i’ve only reminisced over hip-hop for some time. i used to love h.e.r. but between the autotunes, ignorance and just complete lack of skilled ones, i’ve started a lengthy affair with alternative. in future posts i will share my thoughts on the person who is mouth-to-mouthin’ hip-hop in a real way: Jay Electronica (”Fuck that. Call [him] Jay ElecHannukah, Jay ElecYarmulke, Jay ElecRamadaan, Muhammad Asalaamica RasoulAllah, Supana Watallah through your monitor.)
but for now, this was cute. a lil’ freestyle from someone i would’ve never expected to have skills: Diggy Simmons. just check it and see if you agree.

epiphany
Mar 17th
I realized knowing isn’t enough. I knew what I had to do. I took what I had to do and placed it in the part of my mind that holds the things I know. And there it stayed. So knowing wasn’t enough. It was not until I went there, to that place where my mind stores the things that I know and rummaged through its contents. For spring cleaning. To make room for the other things that I know now yet will act upon later. Because that is what I tend to do.
So I rummaged through. I sifted through. I sorted through.
I looked over what I know. What I knew. What I’ve known. And realized that there, in the things that I know, that I knew, that I’ve known, was the answer to everything I was sitting here acting as if I did not, never, had not.
No, knowing is never enough.
Acknowledging what we know, feeling it with our fingertips and putting it on is the thing.
Putting it on is the thing.
