My Interview brief with “Player Hating, A Love Story” Director Maggie Hadleigh

I went to Medgar Evers Tuesday night to see a screening of a film about a rapper. Turned out to be about Half A Mill. I honestly wasn’t expecting much but the film was pretty good. I enjoyed it. After the screening there was a Q&A. I’m not fond of panels and most discussions that follow films about black folks. We always seem to end up in the same place upset and arguing saying nothing much that could actually affect change.

I couldn’t take it and stood up and addressed the entire audience. In my brief rant I spoke about taking responsibility for one’s self and for those who are around you. Being proactive and making a concerted effort to find something you can do to affect change. Someone kept asking, “but what can we do?” I pointed at the people on the panel and shouted they’re telling you what you can do. Support them! I addressed the fact that if you truly want to do things you simply find a way to do them. I expressed that change is not always tied to a budget and it’s important to understand that there is nothing small about any effort you make toward progress. You all want to have a perfect body but don’t want to watch your diet and exercise. It ain’t finna happen. I shared how one day I thought about how simply being nice to people in the street and smiling, speaking, kind gestures are powerful because there are people walking around everyday that simply do not want to live. All in all you have to actually care about people in order to want to help people. We are far too apathetic about things that happen around us that don’t directly affect us. That has to stop. But we have to stop it. It’s either do something or pretty much shut up.

Anyway… So much more to say but I won’t. What I will say is that I support this film and I’d hope people will support it as well.

It’s very interesting what gets support when it comes to the world of Hiphop and I’m not even discussing on a mainstream level because we all already know what it is.

This film deserves that support.

Yep. You read that right. Looks like SXSW is cracking down on SXSW-related blogs that have “SXSW” in their title. As a huge fan of the festival and supporter for many years, I was completely surprised that they sent me a very serious cease and desist email full of legal jargon. Basically…they…

When I put up the beta version of “Clear & Lucid & Natural & Simple.” last summer I was thrilled with the amount of feedback I received. Many of the folks who read it said they would have paid for the digital copy and look forward to a physical incarnation when its available. Now that…

WarehausStudio: Very cool track, ambient and minimal…Reminds me of Labradford & Brian Eno…Keep up the good work.

infraBuse: Wow this is VERY good! Atmosphere is brooding and ominous.. I love the tension that gets built up. It’s got depth and soul, bit like Tricky. You have a very nice voice. Very soulful! Keep me updated on progression and new stuff.

BrklynVigor: Peace. Listening to the track now. :) is this your beat and voice? It’s D O P E!

whoisjr: Soundin dope man. The writing is sooper fresh. keep it going.

LucianoDiDonna: Very interesting… The beat is so simple but the pitch of your voice is perfect for it.

SHazzyLove: I dig it! The quiet of the music caught my attention. which forced me to pay attention to the poetry of realness of your words! i dig it

Kel_TheBadGuy: I LOVE THAT

theperfectRu: your voice is so damn ill. The air, the depth, the warm notes….vocals are on point. I dig the writing as well. Would love to hear more. I loved it immediately. Something raw yet refined about your voice.

genesisbe: i dig! very reflective

the other day, i walked the moon, with you in mind
i wish you were, there to play, lonely i
make a smile, just incase you’d come around
i know you don’t, like it when, i’m sad or frown

another day passed away, dying sun
your mind was made, engineered, you didn’t run
i’d never try to change what’s meant to be
even if it results in empty me

the other day, i walked the moon, with you in mind
i wish you were, there to play, lonely i
make a smile, just in case you’d come around
i know you don’t, like it when, i’m sad or frown

The route toward creating one’s own greatness varies. For Brooklyn emcee/producer Coole High thus far it’s been a path comprised of crucial interlocking life experiences, aiding his development both as a man and as an artist. A striking figure in the NYC music scene, aspiring to be relevant in a much larger global space, he’s recognized the importance of musical diversity in Hiphop, while fearlessly building a repertoire in Smooth Jazz, R&B and House music.

iAreConscious (new media - renaissance creator) an artist of many facets who’s current repertoire reflects that of a man so far ahead of his time that he is in-fact behind the present, watching us whilst starting from scratch waiting for our minds to catch up. Whether it be creating intriguingly simplistic video pieces that challenge the way we view the ‘complexities’ of life we all ponder or fabricating live visual displays in a social environment, Conscious’ intent ultimately, is to transfer ‘therapeutic’ life energy. As an emcee/vocalist and producer his manner of auditory expression and performance is of a wide range, weaving through a litany of genre styles and processes to manifest them. Never fearing what for him comes naturally, the confines of the proverbial music ‘label’ is the furthest thing from his train of thought. He channels pure inspiration through a number of ‘characters’; Mon-tag and The Bronx Über Villain are two of his most distinctive ones. Both present a deeper look into the mind of an artist who believes in the ‘possibilities’ of life and hopes that by sharing his experiences through art, his audience will be affected to feel the same.
