Blu & Exile - Show me the Good Life
I swear after listening to this album for more than 5 years, all of the songs on this album speak to me on newer levels than before. So much soul and passion in every song that you’ll definitely find something that you can relate to. It’s simply beautiful.
the hype around banksy is ridiculous, people make him out to be some kind of hero and put him on a pedestal way above real graffiti and other styled street art. 1. his work is simple and basic in production and content. 2. there are street artists such as blek le rat who have been doing the stuff that banksy does a long time before him and he is much less recognised. 3. he is made out to be some kind of hero and his work is protected and seen as a public attraction while the rest of us doing our own style of art on the street are portrayed as vandals, and are criminalised and our art, tags, pieces are removed ASAP. 4 when someone does a stencil it is not a “banksy styled piece” he is not the first or the only person to do stencils, he is the most famous but that doesnt make everyone else a biter. people could describe banksys work as blek le rat styled work. just because you can understand the banksy work doesnt meen that it should be higher ranked then the rest of graffiti, instead of only liking what is easy to relate to and understand and thinking you are so cultured because you scratched the surface of street art, maybe you could try use your mind and delve deeper into the sub culture and art of graffiti and then discuss the hole art form. not just banksy.
Another rant I am willing to reblog because he put into words what we were all thinking
Flying Lotus - Fall in Love
It’s always amazing to hear other artists pay tribute to one of the greatest. RIP.
