    Hey Alex- it’s suzie. I know you will probably ignore this, but I want to mention this anyway. I want to apologize if I acted out of sorts that night but I felt very uneasy around Dj Muggs. Something felt off about him and I had to drink heavily to calm myself down. It came with occasional social anxiety around people who I felt an off energy around. You got the wrong impression of me. I certainly did not show up to that event because of some mere schoolgirl crush that I developed on him but because I became very immersed in his music. A lot of his older material, including Grandmasters actually helped pull me out of a very bad depression. It inspired me to play chess again- I gave that up years ago. His sounds were beautiful and tranquil. His life was interesting to me. I’m not going to elaborate exactly why right now. I wanted to say that I support what you do. It’s very dope and innovative and I appreciate that you’re keeping underground hip-hop alive in Chicago in your own space. It’s a very cool concept- mad respect🙏 Unfortunately, I’m not going to support Muggs and while many people do, that’s fine. But the way he carries himself, is very smug and pretentious and getting his significant other to spy on my social media, then subsequently making a mockery of me, being insincere and running away from me when I was undesirable or unappealing to him, was juvenile. I would have respected him much more if he would have politely told me that he didn’t want to lead me on and wasn’t interested. What he did was unacceptable. I wouldn’t expect that from a man in his 50s, yet he lacks a lot of maturity for his age. Dj Muggs may be talented and legendary but he’s a hypocrite. He is the very epitome of the current sex-crazed, materialistic hip-hop industry. He’s pretentious, a phony person and shallow. His presence was that of a cocky, dishonest, arrogant a**hole. I’m not even mad about his rejection anymore. It’s the way he did it which made me completely lose respect for him. I had to seek therapy after my interaction with him. All of you think he’s professional and a good person right now… but I think he’s insincere, smug and puts on a good act because he doesn’t want people losing respect for him. Nobody cares what I have to say because I’m really a “nobody” - fuck it…I’m a person too. This video shows just how much he’s changed over 20 years. This was the Dj Muggs that was a lot more humble, respectful and genuine. People are oblivious to reality because they have a lot of respect for his status and that’s fine. But my opinion still stands. You don’t treat a person like that, especially a female. It’s very telling that the industry hardened him. I’m not saying all of this to sound malicious- this can really benefit him. I hope that one day when he’s a lot older than now, maybe he’ll finally understand. It’s devastating to say that, but that’s the reality. Cheers- Chicago strong. ruclips.net/video/JUrA_BWANxU/видео.html

      @@BENJAMIN-nz6nd two or three years before Wu dropped Muggs was using the samples a lot of people had but wasn't using quantization so the loops sounded off kilter, the soul singer voices he used, the classic break beats and piano loops the darkness of the beats...it's a definite influence. And I'm saying it as a fan who saw it unfold back then. First time I ever heard Wu it was pretty clear.

      @@BENJAMIN-nz6nd I think people forget that the landscape was a LOT smaller then so when one cat did something different it made waves. I wasn't trying to take anything away from RZA at all but I think Muggs style might have made RZA say to himself that he was on the right track and leaned into the technique more. None of these guys were doing anything cookie cutter style. Everyone was trying to stand out but if you really study the production at the time those two were the first two who consistently used samples that were slightly off beat on purpose and really made THAT a cornerstone of their styles. Both very unique but definitely on the same plane
