A Remix from the best thing that ever happened to hip hop, musically speaking. The DF.
Also from the best thing that ever happened to hip-hop,
personally speaking, The TX, I give you the words of Easy Lee…
7.23.11 (Amy’s Dead) … a short poem
a dead slave is not a slave at all
more so a bird flying south for the winter
fleeing the cold of a life abbreviated
her peace, never found
is spelled out now
in all caps
AMY WINEHOUSE FOUND DEAD IN LONDON
and for some strange reason
i flinch
perhaps because i arm wrestle demons daily
and have come to the conclusion that THEY
hate artists with a passion that rivals
the love of all mankind
beyond a reasonable doubt
art is Holy …
i lay here
wrapped in revelation
convinced
art is of God
heaven and immortality …
her songs
the blues my grandchildren will sing
this night
i spend like every other …
awake
preparing for the demon that was assigned my soul
“1,000 Deaths” in my headphones

Listening to Frank B-Sides now…a shame that she couldn’t get it together. Such a great talent. RIP Amy.
the remix and the poem are both exquisite
art is HOLY
and so is respect for every human life, struggle, experience
thx vu! The whole “i knew it was gonna happen” posts from so many folks regarding amy is way off the mark. RIP
her mama knew it was gonna happen, so what’s the point of me saying it lol
