John Robinson  Soul Sonics   Favoriting Muzik Minded  not on label      “Muzik Minded’ is an album I’ve wanted to create for years, however I didn’t have the focused time to bring it to life the way I envisioned it. This project has been a slow bake over the last year or so, collaborating with some dope musicians I have worked with before in different capacities. Think MPC Beat-making meets live musicians creating our own soundtracks as we go, free and creatively. One of the main reasons I call it Muzik Minded is because when I listen to different types of music it changes my mood, puts me in a certain mind frame and this is a very powerful thing. I invite you all to think with your ears! 
Sit still, vibe out & Listen to “Muzik Minded” by yours truly" - John Robinson.

I've been thinking and wondering about why so many people believe conspiracy theories today. It's because it offers a sense of control, right? Life sucks and doesn't let you control things too much... but if you have the SECRET TRUTH about the (ridiculously cinematic and dramatic) dark forces controlling the world, then you can try to FIGHT THEM and that offers control. Yeah?

Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:43pm
Destroit:

I dont think more people are into conspiracies. I think power hungry greedy folk figured out how to access the rubes via algorithm, target them and use them. So it feels like more people are “into” it, but the same % of shitheads are roaming the planet….its just now these shitheads are all “activated” and vocal. Ok, nuffa that shit, back to music haha

oh word Billy Jam! that's crazy you mentioned Nickatina. I sample him on one of the songs on the album.

"Killa Whale" is name and been illusration by my man Billy Blaze - we were just talking about the different hip-hop artists who have done comic books over the years - in my collection I have few inc. Crustified Dibbs and Casual

_Ike_:

@Destroit, good points! But the algorithms also allow the conspiracies to spread to more like-minded people more easily, too. People who wouldn't have seen them or heard of them before, and got sucked in. More $$$ for YouTube along the way, of course, not that they care how they got it.
