One album is a pamphlet, not even a catalog.
One album is a pamphlet, not even a catalog.
That was a very long-winded way of showing that Robert Glasper was right, but some folks like being deluded by doublespeak. Lauryn stans are like Trumpers in that way.
He is the real deal and a musicians musician. He has done more for modern jazz than most and is a truly talented musician. He is saying what many other people who have worked with her have already been saying, he just has more attention because he is a known name in music.
There is no universe that exists where Ms. Hill equals Prince. She has ONE (that would singular) full studio album. That is ONE album in 20 years. Prince put out like 50-11 albums in his career - Miseducation came out in 1998 - how many albums did Prince release since then? So even if Prince was to make people wait,…
100%. Miseducation came out in 1998. Its 2018..if she is so great where is the new music? People keep giving her money to recycle the same dozen or so songs, her timeliness to her own shows is subjective but people keep putting her on a pedestal as if she is a genius. One hot album every 20 years does not equal genius…
Just as an FYI Ms. Hill has been known to be, uh, a little pitchy (dawg) in her live shows.
Team Glasper too. As a musician, Hill admits she didn’t know what she was doing when working with musicians and then bashes them.
You may be able to make suggestions, but you can’t write FOR me. I am the architect of my creative expression. No decisions are made without me. I hire master builders and masterful artisans and technicians who play beautifully, lend their technical expertise, and who translate the language that I provide into…
Preach my dude.
I am saying...Prince did the same thing FOR DECADES and was never habitually late.
Team Glasper. Bonafide, respected WORKING musician.
“ ‘Me being late to shows isn’t because I don’t respect my fans or their time, but the contrary, It can be argued that I care too much, and insist on things being right. I like to switch my show up regularly, change arrangements, add new songs, etc. This often leads to long sound checks, which leads to doors opening…
Or those accusations were always out there, and people who wanted to protect his closeted status sought to normalize predatory behavior for one reason or another.
No. There are plenty of rumors about guys in the industry who are closeted. The rumors surrounding Spacey and Singer have always involved them using their status to take advantage of young men and boys. The Rapp thing was the first I’d heard of it extending to children, but it’s always been about minors.
Google “Kevin Spacey Everybody Knew.” There are hundreds of thousands of results complete with high profile people in the industry going on record that this is something people have known about Spacey since the late 90s.
I think “It’s shitty that this happened and happens and I don’t condone it.... BUT I don’t know this fucking dude at all,” would probably have been better. But you’re giving too much credit to these types at this level thinking about anything other than themselves and their lives for more than 5 seconds. I believe…
Whether we, in any way, choose to blame Robin Wright for being “complicit” or whatever, the reality is that Kevin Spacey’s behavior on and off set has been an open secret in Hollywood for ages. Pleading ignorance of Spacey’s behavior is no more credible than those who claim it about Harvey Weinstein, so who’s to say…
Not if you’ve ever worked on one of these sets and you know from first hand experience how the abuse thrives specifically because of the complicity of others it isn’t. Throwing up your hands and saying “shucks, gosh, who me? I don’t even know the guy” in an environment like that is the reason people’s lives are given…
One person outside of my cultural wheelhouse is a big fan of another person outside of my cultural wheelhouse, apparently.
I like "In Common." It's surprisingly dark.
