Visited this museum yesterday in Harlem with some friends. Saw a great exhibition of different Latino artists as well as a good amount of work from Haitian artists. It was work filled with heritage & history. It's definitely a museum I feel people should check out.
It's all over the net, but it wouldn't be right if I didn't post the crazy visual for one of the biggest songs that came out last year, "Ni**as In Paris". This video off of the "Watch The Throne" album is an example of why Kanye West and Jay Z are on top of this game. They understand the culture of Hip Hop and the sub cultures around it. It's bigger than Hip-Hop, it's bigger than pop, it is art, it is patience, it is courage to be different and really understand the lane that you are in. It is everything they choose to embody and the world embraces it. They are an elite bunch of visionaries. There is no denying it.
In honor of Black History month, here are The Roots performing the freedom song "Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around" that they performed in the film "Soundtrack For A revolution". They added their own collage of visuals from the civil rights movement for the video.
"Soundtrack For A revolution" is on Netflix if you haven't seen it.
So grateful to have a place like this by the apartment. It is truly a blessing. 1st place in my new city that I can say I'm a regular at. Been going there since September religiously. Either I'm there for a cup of coffee, drinks, dinner, or brunch. It is my all purpose spot. I didn't have that in Boston. I realize that a local cafe/bar is essential for any other city or neighborhood that I choose to live in.
