The Size Of A Tiny Crater On The Moon [Hotlinked™]

Phase 2 photographed by MikaV
On December 13, 2019, I would read in the news that my hero, Phase 2 (born Michael Lawrence Marrow), had died from the quiet battle he was having with Lou Gehrig’s Disease. He was 64. 
The news left me drained. So much so that I couldn’t even write about his death. What should I say? For more than a month, my blog was silent on his passing. But then it dawned on me–finally–that everything I’d want to say was already covered in my unpublished interview questions. So I publish them here now, in fond memory of Phase 2.

[Press-N-Play™] “Respect Mine” by OBVIOUS is Wu-Tang Chillout/Shaolin Lounge Music



Che Guevara once wrote: A man must harden himself, but without ever losing his tenderness.” I’m somehow reminded of that as I listen–on repeat–to the lo-fi hip-hop track “Respect Mine” by OBVIOUS, which strikes a strangely similar balance between both hardness and tenderness. It does it by way of a gritty-voiced sample from a Wu-Tang classic (C.R.E.A.M.) coupled with multiple layers of seductive synth chords, delicate piano licks, and faithful beats and bass lines. The hypnotic end result, I think, makes this track the perfect addition to YouTube playlists curated for long and solitary night drives through dreaming cityscapes. – YourKungFuSucks
