I had forgotten how good gangstarr was/is

That moment of truth song got me through a few existential crisis 

tell me about it . . i don't play moment of truth very often because i can't listen to it without tearing up . hits me in the heart .

 

can't wait to roll 1 up again . told myself i'd stay sober until all this court shit is over .

@+plus+ I feel ya , I think this particular run in with the law is the one to make me calm the fuck down on breaking the law . . knock on wood . What sucks is I’m still waiting on my court date . Not knowing when or what’s going to happen is killing me . Could be anytime next week or in the next 6 months . Checked myself into an outpatient program in feb to jump start the sobering up process and to show the judge I’m taking initiative etc , but damn man I miss a J after a hard day’s work .

 

you gotta put me on to some dope current dudes , I grew up on that old boom bap/underground tip when it comes to hip hop so I got classic gems for days in the vault , but I’ve slacked on keeping up with the game outside of stones throw artists the past few years . Been listening to jazz musicians since I’m focusing on my roots in piano for this jazz program audition (which has to wait til 2020 due to this court dilemma) .

 

just got back from work myself so ima listen to what you posted before I jump on the keys

^definitely , slim shady lp/Marshall Mathers lp are golden . The pilled out sociopath alter ego dr Dre helped mold is untouchable .

 

been on a roots tip this morning , best live band in hip hop & my favorite group in music hands down .

 

met questlove at a kobe Bryant all star party in LA years ago - my uncles friend was working security and got us through the line , Matt Barnes was behind us in line & looked super salty when our homie grabbed us and took us straight to the entrance after ten mins of waiting .

 

I was pretty bored , taxing the open bar and got banished from the upstairs section (where Kobe was with his wife and other ballers) for repeatedly trying to jump the velvet roped off area . While getting escorted back downstairs I saw quest off to the side in a corner , macking on this Japanese broad . when she went to grab more drinks I went up to him and didn’t know what the fuck to say . Ended up being super awkward and saying “man you’re music is incredible and helped me cope throughout my life . Please don’t ever stop”  he laughed and could tell I was tripping out and chopped it up with me for awhile , he was hyped I actually knew his bands material . I noticed the Japanese lady coming back soon after so I told him I had to jet and they started flirting again .

 

only musician I’ve ever fanned out on to this day . one day I hope to play keys on tour for them . . . 

 

fun fact Scott storch was an original member and main keyboard player for the roots on their first couple albums but started doing too much coke and ended up quitting to make beats . Guess it worked out for him ?

Yea, that's my current age.

Dude was pretty open about his dances with the devil and not wanting to join the 27 club in a few of his songs.

Really sad. 

Did they ever reveal what it was? The lack of information provided makes me suspect suicide, but then again it could just as much have been the drugs. 

Don't mean to jump to conclusions or anything.

They haven't released the toxicology results yet but I'd bet on Fentanyl being in the mix
