Classroom Instruments: Bill Murray, @erniehudsonofficial, @rayparkerjr, Jimmy and @theroots perform the @ghostbusters theme song 👻 #FallonTonight The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
Jumping a few days before the 24th anniversary. The one #Voodoo collaborator who never gets enough credit is the great @charliehunter67 an alien of a talent who (as I said in the #WhatHadHappenedWas podcast) played the bass & the guitar at the same damb time on “The Root” “Spanish Joint” & “Greatdayinnamornin/Booty”
Never Knew This Story…..Wow
@thecodytucker 🙏🏾
When I put up retrograde alerts some of yall in the DMs ask “if you really believe in that stuff….” & im like how can you NOT see hiow the alignment can effect your day. The moon literally affects everything on our planet (your mood, the tide, weather ——-everything. It’s just some of y’all don’t have a visual on how it affects. (Thx @marysierra 🎥 )
Good people. I was given the pleasure of participating in a magical @pixar film some 5 years back entitled SOUL. The storyline alone of a musician losing his mojo & passion finds it again came to me at the right time.
Of course for those of us who survived it: 2020 robbed @pixarsoul the opportunity to have its day in the sun inside the movie theaters.
Welp, dreams come true for on Friday the 12th we finally get to witness Pixar Soul in theaters and I couldn’t be more excited about it.
Tell a friend, bring your family. If you are in a life crossroads about a direction or perhaps a lack of passion (no passion no life) then I highly suggest viewing this on the big screen
This is 99.99% accurate @spiceadams 🤣🤣😂😂
Imma forgo the traditional rt/repost IG story route because seriously it would take a gajillion hours
I am grateful to the universe for the honor of another year on this particular planet. I’m grateful for my loved ones past and present. Be it you made art that inspired me or maybe I bonded with one of you over a particular branch of art (books/movies/records/sculptures/tv/memes/graffiti/fashion)
I got more dreams that morph into ideas that manifest into existence. I don’t take that mission lightly (hence not even….uh….babysitting can distract me from the mission)
Love to my Aquarians (yes I’m a Cap too….Matter of fact love to all my people & pleadians repping their planets & power & pursuits——yes even geminis (I know my gem jokes loom large but the truth is I do love & trust maybe 34 of you——yeah I made a list 🤣🤣🤣😂😂)
Anywho giving all my gratitude to you all for the kind words, funny posts and memories celebrating me. 🙏🏾
I gotta admit one of the highlights of 2023 was coming on one of the best music podcasts (search #WhatHadHappenedWas follow @stonyislandpods) in which i had to revisit a time in my life I thought was in my rear view mirror.
If liner notes and director commentary are your thing? Then @open_mike_eagle has something for you!!!!
once done an album—-I was the cat would put the memories in my rear view mirror. Very rarely looking back. But doing that 13 episode podcast has given me a new appreciation for those albums. Yeah I’ll post an album cover for the anniversary but I felt like “damn this didn’t go triple platinum so no one cares”——but now I have a relationship in which I appreciate all the blood sweat joy laughter and work that went into these albums. Technically this lp #DoYouWantMore is indeed 30 years old ——we released it in Europe in 1994 but held off on the US release until Jan 17th 1995—-so yeah this is the 29th anniversary. Revisit the story of how this lp got made on What Had Happened Was podcast.
Damn….rip to @pitchfork?

Bilal is Jon Hendricks Walter Junie Morrison Melvin Wilson (The New Birth) Jeff Buckley Donny Hathaway Ronnie Dyson Glenn Goines Joey Dee (Cymande) Jay Kay Bobby Debarge Andy Kauffman George Duke Oscar Brown Jr Angelo Moore David Byrne the unexpressed trauma experience of Trans Atlantic Africans & the accumulated marvel of our magic in a voice. For real. I know it’s hard for someone to make a move without some sort of insurance of satisfaction. I mean let’s face it did Million Dollar Baby sit there on the shelf alone & you gravitated to it? Or did you (like me) see all your peeps riding the wave having fun on their socials & you get fomo? No shame in that. But sometimes you just gotta support religiously people that deserve the Royal Treatment. We live in a world in which an artist like Bilal possesses a talent so majestic it’s almost seen as a hindrance or a stain that will keep him from getting his just desserts because he is so advanced math it’s almost UNcommon. It don’t have to be that way: Bilal & @robertglasper & @boombishop & @common & I came to @glasshaus & jammed in the living room w 100 of our peeps & made a fine piece of art. Is this hip hop’s #MoneyJungle? a quiet summit meeting that will make “best of” lists some 20 years down the line? get on the train NOW! See what we known for DECADES!
In Chapter 12 of Quest for Craft with The Balvenie, I sit down with Emmy-winning phenom Lena Waithe. We explored how finding a vulnerable and authentic voice can shape your craft and have a profound impact on the creative journey.
