A TIME-LOOP IS A CONSTANTLY REPLAYED TIME-SEGMENT. A THRESHOLD HAS BEEN MET BUT NOT PASSED OR HAS NOT YET BEEN MET THEREBY FORESTALLING FURTHER PROGRESS. 0. THE LOOP.

That Deem Spencer shit is incredible. Thank you Crowley. Going down a wormhole of his videos now.
I feel sorry for Craner. I keep up to date slightly and this stuff completely generation gaps me which is as it should be.

I only want you to recognise the beauty and brilliance of KP. You’ve been denying it for years. But he’s an incredible poet.

You were slagging him off for years, I think just to annoy me too. But he’s right up your street. Parallel to the South, Chicago, auto tune etc

I was just enjoying the increasingly insane lyrics and entertaining music

that particular style of writing was a huge influence on me. the way images are juxtaposed without any narrative thread and time is jumbled. blocks of historical and mythological time juxtaposed. set at oblique angles to one another.
it wasn't just him. rza did it. ghostface did it. you have these words and phrases that operate as strange attractors and vortexes. auric fields of hermetic wisdom, romance, mythology, secret teachings are set up around them.

I had a nightmare that I slept for a light year
And a thousand locusts had crawled inside my right ear
Then I found myself trapped inside of a circle
Surrounded by forty wicked women who was all dressed in purple
They promised they would harm the nation with the abominations
The fortifications, indoctrinations of intoxications
At that moment I realized who was my opponent
It was Gog from a Magog, he said he wanted to slay God
He brought out his rapture from Ezekiel's 39th chapter
He wanted to fracture my skull, so they could capture my soul
My body got drawn to a life left deformed
As my essence try to squeeze through the crack of dawn
But I got trapped in a void, watching thousands of paranoid
Humanoids who was floating in space like asteroids
The pain in my head was excruciating
It must've been that dust that had me hallucinating
That I was facing Satan
And he was debatin with Reagan over who killed Kennedy
And the true identity of the Holy Ghost Trinity
And lack of masculinity
About to lose it, flashed back to blunts dipped in honey
And the first jewels that I mastered when I learned 120
About who's the original universal father
The cream of civilization, the biochemical author
It was me, it struck me, it caused me to figure
And realize to myself
That I'm a Gravedigga

I agree. RZA, GZA, Inspectah Deck all excelled at this style, but KP took it to another level. In a way too much. He could get repetitive. But not too much. His debut was a cameo on the the Gravediggaz album, his second thing was a sex rap on ODB’s album (not really his style); by his debut LP, it was cosmic, incredible. 2 classic non Wu albums from those years: Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars and Heavy Mental.

I love that style: GZA, Masta Killa, the Killarmy boys, Hell Razah.

just for literary sophistication you had this then you had nas' cinema verite and those were the twin peaks for the genre looked at through that particular lens
