“The Hip-Hop Unseen” Read-In-Full
…Kinda like “Paid-In-Full”….or not.
Ok.
Since I’ve retired this column, and the last one got such an amazing response, I figured I’d like to present a link to every column written over the past couple years. Start at the bottom and read up, and you can get a gist of my early zest, focus and determination. Then travel past the first few and embrace my pockets of uninspired repetition until I burn out in a dull flame, only to semi-ressurect my dignity by the end. Yay.

Louis CK New York Mag Article “One Man Show”
“Human kindness has no reward. You should give to others in every way you see. You should expect absolutely nothing from anyone. It should be your goal to love every human you encounter. All human suffering that you’re aware of and continues without your effort to stop it becomes your crime. Humans are always evolving. If you do one thing that if done by every human would destroy the world, that makes you Hitler.’ – Louis CK. Awesome new article. Can’t wait for season 2 of “Louie”
