"OKP is kind of astonishing to me, even in 2015."


  

          

The number of smart, talented people who either join or emerge from the community is kind of amazing if you think about it.

Checking out Ikire Jones interview and still have Wale Oyejide's track with Dilla on Spotify.

Rappers.
Producers.
Singers.
Artists.
Writers.
Comedians.
Designers.

Look what Questlove did with his ant farm.

but the amount of talented people who have come out of here is amazing. Also regarding reddit most of the talented people were talented and succesful before they found reddit. Here we have seen these people grow and grow their ideas/brands/talents to become succesful.

i can't listen to that song.
the mix was screwed up on the released version (due to me being hands-off in the mastering process).

kind of broke my heart when i heard the pressed up album. i almost cried. taught me a valuable lesson though.

You can be 35 years old, living with two roommates and shopping for discount healthcare on the marketplace with six-figures worth of student loan debt, but you're among the elite if you've got an arts-based career.

We've got a chick whose a state senator and she gets nary a mention.

In response to Reply # 60


  

          

here.

some were heavy in their formative years. i'd say magnet in the sense that a lot of ppl came w/ they own hustle / talent. but also incubator because the cross pollination effect was real. being able to post words and music and get feedback and encouragement (or hate) was instrumental to a lot of people's process.

even for the non creatives, there was a palpable sense of "i can be xyz in terms of my style/taste/playeryness/non-playeryness AND be a teacher/doctor/lawyer/businessperson/techie/entrepreneur/etc?"

like, i remember posting about my son's interest in majoring in urban planning, and found out there were a grip of planners on here, and particularly black urban planners, which are on some unicorn ish in the real world. likewise, when we speak on IT and such, very similar experiences.

we've been able to use this place to share and laugh and bond and build and bullshit in a fairly unique way.

so its a magnet AND incubator.


peace & blessings,

No we aren't writing plays that 10th graders are forced to see or releasing albums that 6 people download.

We're just paying our taxes and raising children, being productive members of society.

Which is huge.

So when you mural painting, t shirt designing rejects are done choking on your free range fed soybean lattes and miraculously find some moron to put up with your broke ass shenanigans long enough...holla at me

So we can talk 529 plans for the kids

is a snapshot of a lot of folks on their ascent. it's really cool to see.

kind of depressing for me, though, as my output as a cultural producer pretty much flatlined a few years after that.

we actually had a few mtgs about The Crucial and tried to get that popping.

Can't be mad though....things are moving...and the output that I was looking for...is all over the place.

The philosophical base is really Afro-Futurism...but that means a thousand things to a thousand people. At this point I can see that the output and how it shapes the moment will in turn define the philosophical base. I'm not big on talking about Afrofuturism as much as I am on living it.

I'll see the progression of my career. It's kind of amazing. I've been on here for 15 years, and for about 13 as a poster...and to see the growth of other people has been just the best.

This place does amaze me, but at the same time...not really. The talent here has always been obvious, but just seeing the growth is great.

we arent looking at a lot of these people like that promising HS running back that knocked up his HS sweet heart and dropped out of college to bag groceries at Ralphs. People here are making it.
