People are predictably ignoring the point here. Mainstream rap today is undeniably the soundtrack of late capitalism, an empty barrage of product placements. Mos Def made The Ecstatic, probably the best rap album of the last 15 years. He can say what he wants about the culture.

The NYT Gadsby review is a prime example of what great criticism is capable of. This wasn’t merely a takedown of an art show or a comedian. It was an autopsy of an era, peeling back the artifice of the dominant mode of our time and exposing the hollowness of what’s underneath.

We want to legally drink a beer in the park. We need affordable housing, improved cycling infrastructure, subway platform barriers, more venues and better mental health services. Read the room. People aren’t really in the mood to take a pedal pub to Jack Astor’s right now

The only thing that gives me solace these days is a specific date: June 2, 2022. I’ve marked it on my calendar and you should too. Unless one is called sooner, it is the date for the next Ontario provincial election. We need to band together to ensure Ford doesn’t get re-elected

If you live in Toronto, it’s critical that you vote this Monday June 26th. The powers that be think that they can select your mayor for you. It’s time to find out who’s more organized: the people or the establishment figures who got us into this mess in the first place.

I find it interesting that when directors are looking to create a show or a film that takes place in an unthinkable dystopian future, the go-to locations are where I’m from (Edmonton) and where I currently live (Hamilton)

My wife and I moved from Toronto to Hamilton because it’s a great place to live, not because we “had to move there.” It was a decision we made after a great deal of thought and consideration, making it unlike literally anything Brad Bradford has done during his campaign.

The Catholic Church needs to apologize. There needs to be a permanent memorial for the 215 indigenous children, an annual day of mourning and plaques at every location of a residential school detailing everything that happened there, similar to the Stolpersteine in Germany

All award shows are absolute garbage. Except for when they nominate me and then they become our society’s most important cultural institutions

I’m releasing my new album this Friday. It’s called ROLLERCOASTER. It’s about tech bros, nepotism, worker’s rights, fake accounts, the wellness industrial complex, nostalgia for the early internet, the commodification of trauma and techno-revolt. Can’t wait for you to hear it.

Living in Hamilton has mostly been nice so far but it’s disturbing to see a white supremacist mayoral candidate platformed during the debates as well as the defacement of @EasyThePianoMan ’s poster. These are symptoms of deeper issues that must be rooted out in this city #HamOnt
