I want to make a strain with all the weed mentioned in this classic…”passage to Bangkok”
I noticed! We gotta keep that going too!
I can’t do positive, it’s just not representative of my experience in the world. I like art built around achieving success, right up until the universe laughs at the protagonist, and knocks over the jenga tower. That’s not a judgement on the music anyone has posted, I’m just rambling.
I feel that. You might appreciate Cougnut. He might have been the greatest of all time, but he died young and only had a few years of recognition.
He had the realest lyrics, even when he slips into chaos and paranoia.
cougnut is bay slang for Mercury Cougar.
cougnut was the master of multitrack vocals, and cinematic imagery.
Old video of cougnut smoking in sf. when someone gives them shit he just says
“It’s all good! It’s medicine!”
Album cover looks like my nightstand circa 2002
Bay area g-funk / cougnut’s funeral.
Cougnut died September 10 2001. He died in a car accident driving back to sf on 280 coming from daly city.
His funeral procession from the SF morgue to a mortuary in his hometown oakland would have taken place on the morning of September 11. When the procession tried to cross the bay bridge, the sf police detained everyone and accused them of terrorism.
They interrupted the funeral procession, held everyone without cause for hours, searched the procession in an aggressive and invasive manner, and when the cops found nothing, still accused them of terrorism.
Fortunately it was covered by local underground newspapers like The Valley Voice.
That shit broke my heart when I was a kid, and it really opened my eyes to the realities of interacting with corrupt police.
equipto is a real one for sure
equipto confronts corrupt SF mayor Ed Lee.
Ed Lee was crooked as shit, deep in the pocket of CT Gang. He allowed the Chinese government to gain a foothold and then consolidate power in San Francisco by giving illegal construction contracts to chinese corporations, allowing them to monopolize the tech industry while kicking out locals to build poorly designed skyscrapers.
He was also involved in gun running for CT Gang. As far as I know they got Shrimp Boi Chow and state senator Leland Yee, but not Ed Lee.
It’s time to combine the two greatest sources of power in this universe…
overgrow.com, and HYPHY
what is hyphy? hyphy is truth with no purpose or reason. this state of enlightenment can be attained by smoking dank and going dumb.
There is no past. No future. There is no self. There is only now, and now is hyphy.
Keak is amazing.
