I marshal the middle between Mathers and McLuhan. I’m an aging BMX and skateboarding zine kid. That’s where I learned to turn events and interviews into pages with staples. I have since written about music, media, and culture for everything from magazines to blogs and journals to books. I hold a Ph.D. in Communication Studies from the University of Texas at Austin. As a child, I solved the Rubik’s Cube competitively.

“We don’t need to just make room, we need to change the defaults.”
Roy Christopher, Dead Precedents: How Hip-Hop Defines the Future

“When their future is outlawed, the outlaws become the future.”
Roy Christopher, Dead Precedents: How Hip-Hop Defines the Future

“When the head gets hacked, it’s the heart that is haunted.”
Roy Christopher, Dead Precedents: How Hip-Hop Defines the Future

“We are all perpetually holding ourselves together. Our breath, our blood, our food, our spit, our shit, our thoughts, our attention—all tightly held, all the time. Then at death we let it all out, oozing at once into the earth and gasping at last into the ether.”
Roy Christopher, Escape Philosophy: Journeys Beyond the Human Body

“We don’t need to just make room, we need to change the defaults.”
Roy Christopher, Dead Precedents: How Hip-Hop Defines the Future

Roy Christopher, Dead Precedents: How Hip-Hop Defines the Future

“When their future is outlawed, the outlaws become the future.”
Roy Christopher, Dead Precedents: How Hip-Hop Defines the Future

“The singularity of making recordings out of other recordings is neither a rapture we can return from nor a rupture we can repair.”
