Let's Play God

Okay, so first off, I'd replace Rashid Bakr's minimalist cymbal-tapping on his, William Parker's and Frode Gjerstad's Seeing New York from the Ear with the immaculate groove machine Hamid Drake and then we'd probably have a four star album on our hands.

then I'd take away the trappy production and poppy hooks present on a few tracks on Smoke DZA's K.O.N.Y. and I'd also give a name that makes me frown less and think less about imperialism posing as activism. it still wouldn't be the best thing he's ever done, but it'd sit pretty well next to his previous work. oh and of course I'd make all the misogyny turn into misandry. and then destroy capitalism and create a classless world society and then turn all of the men in the world into women and then turn all of the straight women into lesbians and exile all the white people to Mars and I'd melt all of the guns down and bring Audre Lorde and Marsha P. Johnson back to life and make them duel presidents of the planet. I mean, if I'm playing god, obviously. of course I'd do all that.
