NYLE with his music class covering Lil Wayne except hella fresher. and i like Wayne. this made my day.

Nyle “Let The Beat Build” from Last Pictures on Vimeo.

{ps yes,im going to post a poem before i go to sleep, inshaAllah}

i am a big fan of the music video art form. this video is the best of both worlds. usually the videos are either someone with a great simple idea that creates a profound video like a michael gondry or spike jonze and then there are those with lots of money but no ideas and the video ends up being a bunch of cars, explosions, yachts, champagne etc.

this video is the best of both.

$ + (technique + imagination) = DOPE

with five syllables
followed by seven then five
she made heaven weep

id be better off lost
than pretending im guided
if i peeled off
my disguises
it may appeal
to your pity
but being helpless
helps less

am I truly not responsible
or just irresponsible

will I allow
a beast
wild wily
unruly
to rule me
said Rumi

No better love than love with no object,
no more satisfying work than work with no purpose

perhaps
my purposelessness
is perfect

youll have to excuse me
you don’t have to but
my excuses
have expired
execute me
electrocute me
such that my face may finally glow

i think this is my favorite radiohead song. ive written many a poems listening to this.
