Black Thought Compares Kanye West’s Evolution To J. Dilla’s

Kanye’s brilliance as an artist shouldn’t be questioned, despite how questionable he might be these days. But even as he enter politics, he carries the same drive that got him the Roc A Fella chain and launched his career as a rapper after his success as a producer. In a recent interview with Stereogum, Black Thought, fresh off of the release of Streams Of Thoughts Vol. 3, detailed a few collaborations from his career including Talib Kweli’s “Guerrilla Monsoon Rap” which also features Pharoah Monch and a young Kanye West.
“He was just hungry. He was about the business of showing people his potential as an artist and what he had already in the clip,” Black Thought recounted, describing Kanye as someone who would always be hanging out in the studio. He explained that he witnessed ‘Ye’s evolution, from being someone he’d see in the studio grinding as a producer to transforming into a multi-talented artist. Thought even said ‘Ye nearly followed the exact same steps as the late J. Dilla.
“I saw him evolve from someone who was a producer of tracks to someone who was also an MC,” he continued. “I saw him follow in the footsteps of who I feel, to this day, was the greatest rapper/producer, J Dilla. J Dilla, he could sing and rap and play instruments just as well as he could program beats. I watched Kanye in real time evolve, following almost that same blueprint.”
Thought recounted hearing early versions of “Hey Mama” and “Jesus Walks” after they finished recording “Guerrilla Monsoon Rap.” He added that ‘Ye was often just sitting in the studio, soaking game. A testament to his commitment to making that full crossover from a Roc-A-Fella producer to a household name.
“It was the usual cast of characters. With me, Kweli, and Pharoahe in the lab. 88-Keys would always be around, Kanye would always be around,” Thought said. “Kanye would sometimes literally be a fly on the wall, and you could see his spongelike nature, just constantly learning and soaking up what was being said, what was being done. What I appreciate about the way he did it, was he made it his own. He was never a biter. He soaked up everything everyone did, but he put his own spin on it.”

Tsu Surf Sparks Hope from Behind Bars With A Bold Promise of Return

In a message that brought hope throughout the hip-hop community, Tsu Surf shared an inspiring update from prison that felt more like a glimpse into his heart than a typical social media post. Recently, Surf made a statement on his Instagram featuring a billboard that promotes Mozzy’s new album, “Intrusive Thoughts.” While the billboard is dedicated to Mozzy, its message resonates, “This message is brought to you by Mozzy. Free Surf.” Surf also wrote a powerful caption: “FREE ME TIL ITS BACCWARDS. BE HOME IN A SECOND. DON’T BLINK.”
For those who’ve been following Surf’s journey, his triumphs, struggles, and legal issues, these words carry a special weight. After pleading guilty in April 2023 to some serious charges related to conspiracy and firearms, Surf was sentenced to five years in prison. This could have been a much worse situation; he was facing up to 30 years. So, when the judge announced the sentence, it felt like a relief to his devoted fans. Since then, things have been quiet on his front, but this new post breaks that silence not with specifics but with energy and hope. Surf’s statement uses the kind of expressive language his fans understand. When he says, “Be home in a second,” he’s suggesting that early release could be possible, even if he doesn’t provide exact details.

The fact that Mozzy, a respected rapper in his own right, strengthened Surf’s message shows a deep bond that goes beyond music. It’s about support and hope for the future. In a world where public backing can quickly fade, Surf’s impact still shines brightly. This moment doesn’t signal his return just yet, but it hints that the countdown to his release might be starting. While Tsu Surf may be physically locked away, his spirit remains alive and active. And if his words indicate, he could be back sooner than anyone thinks.
