We are yin and yang, our styles complement each other very nicely. While it\u2019s always a treat for us to perform together as Black Star, the style and pace of our solo performances are different. Yasiin and I have very different philosophies when it comes to stage performing. While I like to do songs back-to-back at a non-stop pace, make sure I do my hits and have my DJ hype up the crowd and do my ad libs, Yasiin prefers to take his time and does not like too much talking from his DJ.<\/p>\n<p>Yasiin once explained to me that when people pay to see him, they are paying to see what he feels like expressing. So it doesn\u2019t matter whether he does his \u201chits\u201d or not. That was a great lesson for me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/cuepoint\/in-defense-of-ms-hill-6fa84ba81d63\" target=\"_blank\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.medium.com\" target=\"_blank\">medium.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yasiin Bey and I make beautiful music together.
