That's very touching the the guy's music spoke to many people in Kansas City. A lot of people won't understand it but it's a great way to start talking with younger people about drug abuse and the bigger risks with these prescription drugs.
ReplyDeleteI like it, but I gotta wonder if he got permission for this graffiti.
DeleteSure. Let's romanticize drug-addiction while virtue-signalling by painting a mural. I'll bet there's lots and lots of murals...in Detroit.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as its dry, I hope the city paints over it.
ReplyDelete^^^^^^^^ Nobody will ever paint anything of you.
ReplyDeleteOh, I prefer to do my own painting. Like when I painted a big ol brown moustache across your mother's face after I slamblasted her in the ass last night.
DeleteYes, let's get a mural up of the true heros of KC, the geriatric fucktards who hate everything! It would be a fantastic mural of a bunch of geezers sitting at their keyboards in their soiled diapers smashing their fists on the keys! It would be fantastic!
ReplyDeleteSure, 9:14, and next to it paint a mural using the blood, sweat, and tears of the over-taxed residents, with a very large #6 in the center for Killa City's national ranking as most murderous. Surround that #6 with backed-up sewers during rain, broken waterline geysers, lots of blighted Dollar houses, busted fire hydrants, free ride streetcars stuck on icy rails, curbside trash not picked up for weeks, Glock the Block fights and fence climbers, Plaza Apple store snatch & dash, AND MORE MARVY MOMENTUM....
Delete....if there's any wall space left!
Not so sure I would classify Mac's death as tragic. Where's the Prince mural? Where's the Chris Cornell mural? How about the Bradley Nowell mural? All three had more influence on the music industry than the thug Mac Miller, and all three could easily be object lessons and call attention to substance abuse and suicide issues. Evan Jackson's hero worship was for someone barely known in the music world, let alone outside of music. His music sucked.
ReplyDeleteWell he's stopped evolving now.
ReplyDeleteNo, I think the geezer wall is the best idea. That's funny, I don't care who you are!
ReplyDeletejust another doper ,big deal
ReplyDeleteDon't you love it when these junkie losers are turned into saints after they overdose. Sad for their friends and families, but not exactly a role model.
ReplyDeleteAll of you shit posters are fucked up, Mac Miller had some real world problems just like the rest of us, almost everyone knows someone going through addiction problems and all of your negative comments are a slap in the face to the Kansas City community, grow the fuck up, have some respect, and stop with the shit posting geezusssss
