Every time I see him he smiles And he tells me how well he's walking these miles But he never ever asks a single thing about me If I die, he'd hear about it eventually

I heard a song today and it was so moving, I came back here to post about it to the internet.

the song, Early In The Mornin’

recorded by Alan Lomax in 1947 at the Mississippi State Penitentiary in Parchman, Mississippi

listened to this segment about Alan Lomax (starts around the 25 min mark). (comments are worth checking out too) then went and listened to this 1990 interview on Fresh Air

here’s some more info + lyrics - so overall, I feel like it was a very productive day at work

how great is this song though...

U Know What’s Up - Donell Jones ft. Left Eye

so baby tell me what's up can we ascend to higher heights and when the path gets rough we can give in to brighter nights breathe with peace, expand by leaps sow to reap our souls to keep the passions deep and filled with heat .... don't let another one get near me if you wanna be true and show me that nobody else can do it better than you so if you serious, I'm curious to see what you got my love is furious, cuz I believe in blowin' up spots

Kanye West is officially New Black, says racism is a “dated concept.”

In a recent interview with Clique TV in Paris, Kanye West made it known that racism is a silly, dated concept, a played-out style from the 1800s, an imaginary idea that people use to distract us from the real issues, because racism itself isn’t a real issue.

“And when he get on he leave yo ass for a white girl.”

Please Lord if I ever get rich, don’t let me turn into one of these coons who says, “Well look how successful I am!  Obviously racism isn’t real because I made it AND I got a white woman AND white people love me!”
