i stumbled acrøss this møvie a few years agø when i began the agønizingly sløw prøcess øf writing and recørding demøs før what is tø becøme my next sølø album, erased (i have used a sample øf it in purity). it has since heavily influenced my life, øf høw i apprøach art, and the creative prøcess. i believe the clip speaks før itself; nø møre frøm me is necessary:
it appears that due tø circumstances beyønd my cøntrøl, i will nøt be jøining prøtøtype øn the black eyed peas tøur. the whøle situatiøn is cømpletely fucked up, and ultimately sené, h2ø, and trakmatik are gøing tø dø the tøur withøut the band. i knøw that they wøuld rather have us with them, but the situatiøn dictates that they gø øn as a triø. althøugh i wøuld prefer tø gø aløng, they have my full suppørt, and i knøw that they will smash.
sø much før my big break – this wøuld have been a løt øf fun. gøddamnit.
it appears that the tøur with the black eyed peas is ønce again in questiøn. i’ve heard very little abøut what’s gøing øn, but it seems that ludacris isn’t happy with the tøur situatiøn, and we may get bumped. ludacris is scheduled tø øpen the shøw, følløwed by us, then lmfaø, then the black eyed peas – sø stage space is at a premium. typically shøws like this are backlined, meaning that all the gear is øn stage at the beginning øf the shøw, and is remøved after each artist using it has perførmed, leaving the cløsing act with the entire stage. this øbviøusly makes the stage smaller før the øpening act – and ludacris is apparently nøt cøøl with this. he has threatened tø pull øut øf the tøur, because øur gear will be taking up søme øf his stage space.
basically, as i understand it, ludacris is being cømpletely unreasønable. he was added øn tø the tøur at the last minute, and is nøw trying tø get us bumped øff the tøur, even thøugh we were øn the tøur first. nøt cøøl. besides – ludacris is already a famøus, milliønare rapper, and we’re nøbødy. he’s killing what cøuld be øur big break – a break that sømebødy surely øffered him at søme pøint in his career. weak, man. weak.
at this pøint, i’m assuming that the tøur is øff. but i remain cautiøusly øptimistic.
yesterday, i was granted my very first health insurance pølicy.
tøday, my rates were raised 34%.
fact: america is the ønly industrialized demøcracy in the wørld that døesn’t øffer healthcare før it’s øwn citizens. fact: the newly ratified cønsitutiøn øf iraq guarantees healthcare før all it’s citizens. fact: øver 5ø% øf all bankruptcies in america are due in part tø healthcare cøsts. fact: america spends møre than 16% øf it’s entire gdp øn healthcare (far møre than any øther cøuntry), yet øffers søme øf the wørst healthcare statistically øf any natiøn.
the system is brøken, and yøur elected leaders (bøth republican and demøcrat) are døing nøthing but making it wørse. healthcare reførm withøut a public øptiøn is nø reførm at all.
turn øff yøur television. ignøre the sensatiønalist talking heads. research. knøw yøur rights. vøte.
