Tales From the Spit™️ (still workshopping this) 3 of ? I caught some of the Diddy trials yesterday and figured this one, though not originally planned, was relevant. My band mixed our first major label record at Can-Am Studios in Tarzana, California. This was post 9/11 and flying w your Rx of choice was preferably avoided, so upon arrival to the facility we began our investigation. One particular room had smoke billowing from the entry, naturally we started there. That is the first time I met Siggy “Dealz” Jackson. Siggy is the son of Jackie and nephew of Michael Jackson - anecdotally this would also be the first day I ever smoked a backwoods lmao. Over the next week or so we would become friends w Siggy, resulting in him featuring on one of our songs. We had an empty middle 8 on a track we were writing and Sig was nice enough to lend us his talents. (1/2)

Siggy rode with the Ruff Ryders and one day hopped on his bike in the studio lot and proceeded to draw a perfect smiley face smoking a blunt solely burning rubber with his back tire. Over the years whenever we landed back in LA, one of our first stops would be to meet Sig and talk shop* (he sold us weed). Eventually he opened up to us about the industry and his experiences. We collectively ruminated why he wasn’t a household name, considering his talent and connections. I guess that is about the time he presented us with the notion of hierarchy and intertextuality of accusations being litigated in the Diddy trials today. Without putting words into his mouth or citing specifics, he presciently alluded to the rights of ascension, shadow initiations, and blood/sex-for-power obedience trials that have graduated from conspiracy circles to the temporal ethos. However - there were specifics and I admit I thought it was somewhat insane cope or cognitive bias at the time, but now.. damn. Siggy was right.
