New Museum |
Dropped to no reception |
Empty exhibition white walls silence deafening |
Negative space stretching |
The internet every couple seconds refreshing |
The same couple mentions |
Merch boxes in the closet |
Out-of-sight-out-of-mind but paid outta pocket |
Couple friends at ya show them other niggas got a mosh pit |
Day job in the morning just the thought makes me nauseous |
(Open Mike Eagle) |
Don’t put me with the rottweilers |
Walk me in with the show dogs |
Fool, I’m Nikita Koloff |
So committed I never break character |
Forget the fucking marketplace |
I’m an installation, now where’s my carpet space |
Jerk this lever, click my media |
Do my own cuts, wik-wik-Wikipedia |
(Elucid) |
10 curated commandments |
Lessons live from the Schomburg |
Critic acclaim Hard earned |
Full body knob turns |
Enthralled blond birds |
Hypnotized like Farnsworth |
Milquetoast served by futurists in pom pom skirts |
Fog Smoke and mirrors Give em something to talk about |
Lukewarm rap wizard behind the curtain be fizzled out |
Far from the source |
The isolationist |
Close Shave against the grain |
Came full circle but what he saying? |
(Busdriver) |
Observe the piece to right of me |
Completed in the late nineteen hundreds |
It saw no praises from contemporaries |
And generally had all the enlightened flummoxed |
It cradled notions of art as crime |
And developed wildly, set apart from time |
But when buyers make decisions along the party lines |
So harvest mine, they tarnish your shine |
Hang like a varmints behind |
(Woods) |
Bottled mineral water live sampling bird calls |
Back to the audience brass on the balls |
Politiely inquired as to the loot |
The Talented Mr. Smalls notwitstanding |
Trailer to the video on Vimeo |
Grandstanding |
Instagrammed Wired covers got me backstage |
Gladhanding |
If you can sing a lil something might soften the landing |
Have the fans American Bandstand dancing |
(Elucid) |
Murse ratchet |
Flanked by wing dykes u can’t hack it |
Bass akwards |
Short of cult classic With kings Rations |
Voted Most consistently average |
Big budget mastering |
Squandered passion |
Pump action but still banging flaccid |
NPR think pieces |
Ex conscious rappers laid Out to pasture |
Blowhard circle jerkers chatter |
Broad strokes from hands of irrelevant self described masters |
Fractured patterns |
Crooked paths to look back and laugh at |
(Open Mike Eagle) |
Wish I could eat offa brownie points |
Who’s the next messiah the spectacled crowd anoints |
Put my dirty drawers in the glass cases |
Make gasfaces at typos and backspaces |
Get it right the first time |
Micromanaging this class of interns |
Hire docents to meet the required quotient |
And keep your greasy fingers off my Kraftwerk |
(Woods) |
Sip cafe-au-lait kaffiyeh, hoodie and tims |
Knightsbridge pied-a-terre, friends of friends |
Split through prescription lens |
Richard Wright in Paris status |
Damn right I wear my sunglasses at night |
Hobbesian Savage |
Egg white omelet carmelized shallots |
Stockholm Syndrome |
Cote de Rhone cleanse the palate |
Checking account check the balance |
Shelltoes and rope gold all he told the stylist |
Bitter like old-timers when they hear that looped soul behind us |
(Busdriver) |
Murky depictions of dead pigeons |
Given red ribbons at the local gallery opening |
I gasp at the earnings of a Cold Chillin' |
Even though I’m supposed to be sold for millions |
Cause I’m more Jesse Owens than Owen Wilson |
Cold chilling |
On a placinated cell wall Bell Palsy body language |
My deadened gaze is a tell all |
And I’m not art, until I’m seen here |
Sentenced for killing every turn of phrase during my teen years |
