It's wild how fragile and unknown memories are for us. Great quote from Bryan Cranston:
Cranston said he told Muniz not to worry about what he can’t remember. Cranston starred with Muniz in 151 episodes of Malcolm. “They are still [his] experiences,” Cranston said. “It will me my job, I will tell him, ‘remember this? Remember that on Malcolm?’ What a life for you.”
I understand that the transient ischemic attacks can just happen anytime, but what caused his nine (!) concussions? Was it his career as a race car driver?
> “Since 2006, I’ve broken 38 bones,” says Muniz, who has also endured nine concussions since the age of 7. “As a kid I did everything. I played ice hockey, soccer, basketball, soccer. But a year ago I went roller skating, and I was literally the dad holding onto the rail. I realized I have to take care of myself.”
>
> In 2009, Muniz had a serious accident on the race track: “My car flipped a bunch and I crashed into a wall. In the end, I broke my back, ankle, four ribs and my hand. My thumb was dangling by the skin.”
So, it sounds like a combination of multiple things.
“Computer programmed with just one finger
Made complete for the chosen singer
Once lyrics are finished, the picture is done
The difference is this picture has no sun
But there's plenty of bright, kaleidoscope light
No color supersedes cause the balance is right
Listeners are pleased cause anxiety is freezed
And can only be thawed when the music is ignored”
If you're interested in learning more about the history, I'd recommend this documentary about the Roland TR-808 drum machine, which had a huge impact on hip-hop and electronic music. T La Rock and Rick Rubin are both in it.

Just be sure to dig about jaydee - jay dilla, and pete rock. Real music.
ps: for the pro web digger around, I read once that before jaydee was introduced to proper audio hardware by amp fiddler, he used single tape deck and a pencil to overlay samples by hand. Maybe it's just a legend.. could never find neither the original article nor any other sources.
I figured I'd read the thread prior to making a similar comment.
I am not a fan of most hip-hop or rap. But, I think I can enjoy something from every genre. I was unfamiliar with this person and I've given a listen to his It's Yours track.
It's not my cup of tea but I can see the appeal. When added with the story, and knowing nothing else about the individual, 'gripping' really is a good adjective.
It's not really what I'd expect to see covered at HN, at first. Then I read it and, to borrow your word again, it is gripping enough to see why it would appeal to the HN crowd.
Finally, that's what I like about HN. The collective intelligence often inspires me to learn things I'd otherwise have no cause to investigate. It slips over into the real world as I may share a link, or even some insightful commentary, with the missus.
