We WON!! Thanks to everybody who voted. As I promised, I will buy you all Fully Loaded
Black Helicopters for your support-
Speaking of Helicopters,
anybody seen OBAMA fly by throwing Money and Skittles
out to poor people yet? Im just askin cause we were in Colorado for a while
and I might have missed his pass over Oakland.
Speaking of Oakland,
Big UP yourselves for being THE town of 09.
Its gonna be a HOT summer so all Rebels and M.O.B.'s be SMART out here.
They're givin out quarter centuries like pancakes at a homeless shelter.
Keep the "piece" in separate pieces until its time to MAKE peace
then put it all together......get it?
Speaking of Together,
Why does there always have to be a tragedy for us to unite?
Rodney King, 911, Oscar Grant...
We need more Holiday Makers
Imagine that.

This song Featured Tony Moses and was on a Rare record called
Mayhem Mystics-OUTBREAKS...which was a combo of
remixes from my Mayhem Mystics
Album along with out-takes and a few exclusives..
The song is about Oil....

*Black Gold*

Lets read the very first novel
Its known as the universe
Open the 33’rd Chapter
That’s The Book of Earth

A Mystic Planet
That was PURPLE when it First was born
Age of volcano’s, seas would bubble
And the skies looked torn

This we REMEMBER times Before the
Times of Dinosaurs
When modern times repeat
Yo peep- You seen that face on Mars?

Heres some Science
They NEVER taught in Schools of Law
Time never was!
Infinity cannot be born.

They take the rosebuds
And leave us clutching only Thorns
Then give us husks
And call it freedom
Then they eat the corn

Nobody said that there was no such thing
As vampires
I know the truth
How Rocafeller turned the schools to liers

They sendin troops to people
Who don’t have no food supplies and
I can’t be quiet, they’ll charge me for inciting riots
The same ones who have the governments control
Are the same vampires -dey
Suckin out the earths
Black Gold.

1. Where are you from and how did you develop your unique sound?
My Parents are from Jamaica. I’m from New Jersey and Miami mostly but I consider the Bay to be Home.

2. I know that you are very well traveled, what is this thing in Hip Hop where whites internationally support the political music intended for Black people more than Black people (you, Public Enemy, dead prez, etc)? If that has been your experience, what are your thoughts on this phenomenon?
* The issue is the Radio and Main Stream stations not playing the alternative to the F’ery that being push out there. Here for example, all songs on the radio deal with peoples Lower Nature. Everything is below the waist or based on Money and greed. Over Seas, they play more real shit. At least there is more of a variety available. Its like the opposite- fa real.

3. Out of all the places that you have been to rock shows around the world, what has been your top 3 favorite cities, and for what reasons?

* Australia stands out because here Im just Azeem. I think they had me confussed with Will Smith or somebody over there because…Maaaan. It was 100%. The whole tour.

* Japan also Stands out because even though they didn’t understand A WORD we was sayin, The showed crazy love and really looked after us too. Women were screaming and handing us their jewelry when we got off stage. I thought it was some kind of joke. It wasn’t.

*Paris- Paris is like the european New York City. It was fast paced, they know the music, and its got a little danger in the air if your in a live area. It felt like home to me.



4. I was just reading this book, where the author, a Black man, said that our community thinks that Hip Hop will save everybody, I know that you have a daughter as well as I know that you live off of your music, what do you teach her?

I teach my daughter to be a free thinker. To watch, investigate,
and listen before she acts. Mostly I teach her to respect her elders and
to never surround herself with people below her intelligence. Those lessons got
me where I am but I want her to go further. That’s why I made sure
she was born in her mothers country the Maldive Islands.
I wanted her to have a Culture, language and flag she could be proud of.
Not one that half rejected her or her ancestors.

5. What is the newest project that you have been working on? Can you tell us about it?

*We just finished shooting three major music videos to promote Air Cartoons.
Two of them are complete and on Youtube under Azeem.
Open Em Up was made by people involved with Bat Man and
Iron Man animation so, you get an idea of the work put in.
The other one Latin Revenge was done by an animation Jedi
and shows me mashing up the Mission District. It’s a classic.
Also, just finishing up the next record with DJ Zeph and another
with Jay Haze. I’m busy. Its good. I stay out of trouble that way.

6. Can you tell us about this contest that you are competing in, where the Bay is facing off against Brooklyn? What can we do to help?

B.E.T. chose five artists from the nation to be featured on
this new show called The Deal. They were already playing Open Em Up
and people felt it
So I ended up in the competition. Out of the five artists, the winning numbers
Are between Azeem and this dude named Theory from Brooklyn. The other artists
Don’t have many votes like 2% which is small to my 48%. Some days I’m on top,
Other days its Theory. I need the Bay Area to rep Itself
so we can take this movement Nation Wide. Who do yall want to win?
Brooklyn or Oakland?

http://www.bet.com/OnTV/BETShows/deal/deal_ya_heard.htm??Referrer={626141E

I mysteriously got linked up in this BET contest
where they only chose 5 artists from around the nation.
I AM honored they feel I am worthy of the exposure.
So- we put out a email basically saying...
I was one of the only "conscious" (I don't like that term)
Artists in the Comp so its Real Vs Bullshit
and ya know...Vote *AzeeM

Funny thing is, Im winning.
The cat who is in a close 2nd place- Theory
is actually Spittin' .
He got the email and wrote like
"I hope the Bullshit don't win..."

It kinda seemed like he took my email
the wrong way. I hit em up
and we showed our respect for each other
instead of being on some negative shit.
THATS WHAT REAL MEN DO.

The last person I got violent with
and Blacked out on was a child Molester
after some kids came and got me
cause dude was tryin to touch them.
Thats some shit to Black out on
not some ego, what you lookin at...etc.

Me and Theory was on the Same page so
If I don't win, I hope HE does.

THEN- some cat (no diss)
writes me and says
"What do you mean NOT COMMERCIAL?
Don't you get money?
Ummm Yea BUT
I don't sing about it OR
do Commercials in my songs
then turn around and -
Blame it on the A'A'a-a-a AL-CohoL

And Thats the difference Between Rap Music and Hip Hop
to me...
Money isn't the final goal in life
Its just a tool to intensify the experience...
But like I say
Lack of money is the root of all riots...
But things worth Livin/Dyeing for
are priceless......
Just a thought.
Peeeeaaaaccccce!

A Frenemy is a Friend who is more like an enemy.
They will gladly come to your party
But they will not enjoy it if its fun.

When you look up, they are watching you
with a hint of distaste in their eyes.
Look close. You'll see it.

If your broke, they will tell you
how paid they are and offer no assistance.
They answer their phones with selected hearing,
Usually too buzy for you.

They speak about you, your personal business
and have nothing but critique for the way you handle your affairs.
NO SECRET is safe with a frenemy.

They are those in your circle with the Least spiritual overstanding.
They speak of unity and only live for themselves.
They reveal themselves through words. IF they do ANYTHING for you,
they will be the FIRST to announce it to your world.

Their Favors come with Interest.
What they dont realize is-
They are a test to those aware.
And if the aware, and awakened handle frenemies
with care and pity, they become Treasures.
Because all their negative energy and secret wishes of your downfall
become their own reality. And all the Blessings set aside for them
become yours.

So Tek care. KNOW Your Frenemy.
But MOST importantly,
KNOW THYSELF.....

Hello my name is…
Ismail Abdul Azeem El. Yea I know. You DON'T Wanna be holdin my Crispy Creams in the airport security line. I ALWAYS get "randomly chosen" for the SPECIAL treatment. I ask em if it means I won a toaster. They either laugh, or just turn red.

Aka… The Bagel Pimp, Match Book Assassin, Apostle Passion, Moody, Mello, I.S.H.
Slippery El, Widows Son, and The Pacific Lumber Company


I was raised in…
Jersey and Miami.


The reason that you're reading about me is…
When I was 9yrs old, I discovered an ancient Star Gate in my back yard. I travel through time saving galaxies and write songs in my spare time.

I work for…
The Confederation of Planets in service of the One.


Right now I'm working on…
Pushin' a new album called Air Cartoons on Oaklyn Records. I'm raising a daughter, and constantly recording.


But I'd rather be…
Eating Sudanese Shrimp with the Sultan of Brunei and Hugo Chavez .

My most prized possessions are…
My Books. Marcus Garvey said one should always read. Even read the works of your enemy so you know how he thinks. So, my bookcase Looks kinda crazy. But its all High Science, plus some good fiction for airplane rides and stuff. I was never big on school so my books and travel have been my education. So, those and a certain ring and necklace I have. Other than that Its all just stuff.

But I'd give it all away for…
You know when your shopping and they ask "Can I help you find something?" I always say- Im looking for eternal happiness…yall got that???


The first thing I do in the morning is…
Make Salat

The last thing I do at night is…
Yeeeeeeeeeah! Like Young Jeezy baby!

My momma always said…
"If you don't like it, tuff titts!" My father always said "Never surround yourself with people below your intelligence…"

I love it when people…
Are humble and don't speak with fake accents.


I can't stand when people…
Disrespect old folks while speaking with fake accents.


The most beautiful thing I've ever seen is…
A Maldivian Sunset. My daughter was born in the Maldive Islands. Its one of my favorite places in the world. I have family there so its like a second home to me. You shouldn't go. Please don't. If I see you there, I will have you eaten by sharks.

The ugliest thing I've ever seen is
Lion eats man on youtube. And Mario Van Peebles as Malcolm X in Ali.

I am what I drive, which is…
My Imagination. And a Black Bob Marley and the Wailers (BMW)

If you ever see me walking down the street…
Give me a ride!

My most notable run-in with the law…
One time I got pulled over on Telegraph Ave In Oakland. I didn't have insurance, and my license was suspended etc. They put me in the cop car while they searched mine. Then the cop comes to the car and looks at me Craaaazy and says- "You like the Ayatollah Khomeini?" I just looked at him bewildered and actually thought he was on some redneck vibe. He says- "Come out of the car…" Turns out there was some old post card in my trunk with Khomeini's picture. He told me how he fought in Iran…etc. We talked about religion and politics. He was so shocked that a nigga in Oakland Knew who Khomeini was….he let me go.

If I had to say sorry it would be because…
Man, If you don't have a list of sorrows, Your not human.

I get lose control when…
I am spoken to like I'm stupid. Or when I perform. Sometimes I bug out a little.

The last time I swore I'd never drink was after a night of…
One nite I drank Absynth and Red Bull in Germany because I was sick. I looked at it as medicine. I must have had too much because I performed that night hanging from a pipe in the ceiling.

Future projects and plans…
I wrote a one man play called RUDE BOY. It was extended twice and ran for 3months straight. It was my first play and I plan to get it on the road. Im working on the next Zeph and Azeem record with DJ Zeph. Its already sounding better than our first album Rise Up (OM Hip Hop). And I want to go to Tuba to chill with the Murids.

And before I leave I'd like to give a shout out to…
Anyone bored or crazy enough to Read this bulls**t. All El's and Bey's with their wills and ways. The Sultan of Brunei,
Momar Kadafi, My cousin M.Sayyid, and all my GhettoFarian Rebels out there-
E.T.C.- Erase and Take Charge!!!!

This is a documentary about Edward Bernays.
Known as the "Father of Public Relations".
He is also the cousin of Sigmund Freud and the hidden force
behind Freud's popularity. What he "discovered" regarding  mind control
in the form of PR, is THE REASON behind the Bulls*@T and Fuc'ery
we and our youth are exposed to constantly.
HE ALONE turned America into the land of
Consumerism. They say his philosophy has killed and destroyed
more people than Hitlers...enjoy.

Decided to go back in time last week.
On my way to the Msonic Tmple on California St,
I stopped by Fields
WHO- I sensed from the beginning of its new owners
were witches/ assholes...anti-moor types.

Anyway, ignoring their uncomfortable
stares and finding there was NO- Kabalyon, NO- RA Material
etc....
I began to look into their pretty locked
glass case..
The witch says-"I can order those books for you""
Im thinking....Bitch I got internet too..
THEN it hit me...
To their OBVIOUS dislike,
I asked for a pen and paper
and began to copy the titles
from their Pretty Locked Glass Case....
heres where the FIRST title brought me

http://www.xoanon.co.uk/xoanonmain.htm

The Last sentence of the first page says
it all. If you explore this simple site , you soon realize
We DON'T have access to everything (check buying policy)
and there is some REAL, and Scary shit going on
in this world....But THAT part we already know...

I used to be ashamed of the fact

that I never graduated- From anything.

Not 8th grade, or High School,

not the Cub Scouts or City College- Yale....

And even though I am a wordologist, I don't always

have the strongest grasp of this Roman Alphabet we use

or the Queens Language we speak,

Im FAR from a fool. A little lazy for not using spell check-maybe.

But the fact that I wasn't "educated" to me  means

I wasn't indoctrinated. So I dont have....

Pictures of Columbus (real name Colon) "Discovering"  The Americas

or Washington cutting down the cherry tree. Instead I see The DISTRICT (not state) of Columbia, Christopher Colon's name CHANGED to COLUMBUS,

British Columbia, Columbia Pictures, the country Columbia, Columbine...etc

and say WTF? Who is Columbia? When I find out and tell people...

They dont believe me cause They are "Educated" and Oprah, or Fox News

CBS (Columbia Broadcasting Service) or CNN didn't say so.

Or when I tell them about the Rocafeller familys Charter to revamp the US education system because they saw the Labor Movements in the early 1900's as a problem caused by educated workers- They don't believe me either

so before I leave you with this quote, understand I RESPECT those who get through it and get Masters degrees and tingz. But please KNOW that Wisdom and Knowledge are not owned by anyone ESPECIALLY not an institution that turns people to "Good workers" and not free thinkers. EVERYTHING they told you after A,B,C's and 2+2=4 is a Lie.

Peace...heres the quote.

In his 1905 dissertation for Columbia Teachers College, Elwood Cubberly—the future Dean of Education at Stanford—wrote that schools should be factories "in which raw products, children, are to be shaped and formed into finished products...manufactured like nails, and the specifications for manufacturing will come from government and industry."

The next year, the Rockefeller Education Board—which funded the creation of numerous public schools—issued a statement which read in part:

In our dreams...people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hands. The present educational conventions [intellectual and character education] fade from our minds, and unhampered by tradition we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive folk. We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or men of science. We have not to raise up from among them authors, educators, poets or men of letters. We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians, nor lawyers, doctors, preachers, politicians, statesmen, of whom we have ample supply. The task we set before ourselves is very simple...we will organize children...and teach them to do in a perfect way the things their fathers and mothers are doing in an imperfect way.
