Achilles' Heel.

Have you ever seen 'Troy'? Starring Brad Pitt? See: picture below to refresh your memory. Anyway, I have seen it, several times over. There are many memorable parts, but one that is strikingly memorable is the scene where Achilles goes to fight Boagrius, and a young messenger boy forewarns him as to the man's size. Achilles proceeds to LEAN on the poor kid, but it was very eloquently put. Need a reminder? Here you go:

Messenger boy: The Thesselonian you're fighting... he's the biggest man I've ever seen. I wouldn't want to fight him.
Achilles: And that is why no-one will remember your name.

I say that to say, as an artist, as a person, the only way to attain "immortality" is to live on through other peoples' memories. Through stories passed from generation to generation. As selfish as that may seem, that's one of the few things that I truly want. This is part of why I enjoy making music. Because it transcends the barriers that time puts on our life span. Do you know my name? What's your name? Download my music too. Lol. #ButNahSeriously. Thanks.

"My Sweetie"

So. I once had an African babysitter named Miss Maureen when I used to live in Riverdale. That's about as close to African as I'm gonna get. I guess it counts if I'm "African-American"? I mean... I've had fufu before. Anyway check out this new video from Wale, called "My Sweetie". I especially dig his flow on here too.

Helping Hands

What it do people. As of lately it's become more and more of a rarity that I post events and or music from other artists, as I see this blog as an outlet for me, and whatever I wanna do. I mean look at the name of the frikkin site. Anyway, below is a flyer for an event that will feature one of my coolest closest comrades (did you peep the alliteration? Ha!) K-Prime. If you're out that way, or if you're not out that way and wanna actually GO out that way to see a good show, check it out man.
