Live from Broadway: rumble young Boots rumble–but I’m trying not to stumble. We seeded our way out of the Now Generation–you can have it immediately cause I like our perfect present. Advice I will take, but in a world full of takers it has to be from the right curator; Jacob El Hanani…

Artist: Jacob El Hanani, born in Casablanca, Morocco in 1947. He attended The Tel Aviv School of Fine Artsin Tel Aviv, Israel and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He lives and works in New York City. He’s known for his ability to draw fabrics.

This is what our evenings have come down to: pouring with the best of them. I mean, after being in the Hamptons with Susan L. Taylor and then going to her private home–to having wine with Jacob; we call him that. It was decided: why would we be out event hopping. We spend our nights doing homework with the Greats. Such an eventful day. Hours following the filming of the previous post Groovy Power Clap, Sham & I went to the penthouse–which use to be damn near the projects back in the day–of artist Jacob El Hanani. His spot is located on Broadway across from Topman. He told us his rent use to be one hundred and fifty dollars, but now it’s worth three million. Yes gag.

We sat and had conversations for hours, took a sneak peak at his upcoming works and had the best wine.
This is what life is about. 31st century: how you get two black kids hanging out with person from Morocco
that was born in 1947 and that have accent. You be like–what huh? Huh what?
But it’s no language barrier when you talk inspiration and being inspired.
