nothing says downtown Portland 2026 like the abandoned shopping center that was boarded up bc it had become an open air fent market then given a mural that says COMPASSION because it got covered in graffiti finally having barbed wire strung above the COMPASSION mural to prevent ppl camping inside ❤️

putting together that Bob Power mixed Go Stetsa and Tip heard it in Latin Quarter and was like I need that sound and sought out Bob Power to mix ATCQ’s debut 🤯

Questlove revealing that Tip sought Power out for Peoples Instinctive *because* he did Go Stetsa 🤯

it's not hyperbole to say that Bob Power is one of the most influential people when it comes to the sonics of hip-hop.

for instance, he didn't mix The Infamous, but it sounds like him because Q-Tip was an excellent study of his sound.

I didn't even know Bob Power mixed this, but it makes sense. yet another massively influential cultural moment. a record that had a reputation for inspiring violence like nothing else at the time. how to make a live band blend with the loudest of drum machine beats? he had the codes

Noah Howard Live In Europe Vol 1 - excellent jazz record. kind of underrated in my opinion - top tier music but isn’t one of those that people freak out about and isn’t prohibitively expensive. No volume 2, sadly

whenever this happens they always want funk with our bigs. I get it, they are bigger and stronger and especially our starting center can really hoop. you’re getting pushed around inside and losing bad. not lost on me that they are both dark skinned Black girls and these other teams are not, though

our kids hung a 40 pc on a pretty hapless team. they got frustrated and started pushing. one got ejected. parents yelling at kids. loser mindset
