Some reasons on “Why I Do Music“…
I think The Roots “Game Theory” comes out today and I’m planning on heading out to get it. The Roots are one of my all time favorite groups. Black Thought is such an underrated emcee. I love what this group does and what it stands for. It got me thinking…”Why do I do Music?”. Is it because I can? Or because I want to? Is it that I am “radical “or a radical? Music moves me in so many ways. It is something to change your life around for. I want more important themes and ideas to reflect through the music I make and am involved in. You know…love, raising my daughter, the higher purpose, duality in all things, my faults and my insecurities, friends and family, my contradictions, my character, who I am, etc. Planet Rock is not just a place it is a state of mind. What were Bambaataa, Kool Herc and others thinking when they invented hip hop? What we’re they trying to get to? Or get away from? The spirit is still there. A medium for good as well as evil. Greatness as well as garbage, for or against it’s original intent. For or against the spirit. Hate and love. It is all of this and more. I would be lost without it.
Peace-DAG!
