This is serious ya'll

I got a daughter . . . and Kells is still out here

Thankyou president Bush for being so incompetent, and your coalition so uncomprimisingly diabolical, and your policies so crippling that America just may be prepared to do the unthinkable. Put a Black man in the White House.

I know ya'll probably been trippin like. . . no Obama Post? Well until he has the nomination locked I felt maybe the best way I can support is to not SHOW support. I'll leave it at that, but delve into the political for a moment.

The fact that education has totally slipped off the radar in this election goes to the core of our crumbling Empire. Our horizons stretch 100 years in Iraq, but only the next fiscal cycle at home.

Blackwater is scary. in six years they've amassed over 5 billion in contracts.

this picture is amazing. These guys carried this 400 pound gorilla for miles in a procesion of reverence and nobility. The massacre was a tragedy, but 5 million people have died in the carnage that spilled over from Rwanda into the Congo, but the deaths of six Gorrillas is the real news?

offshore drilling is ridiculous in real & environmental cost & ineffeciency. See it takes oil to get oil, and we need to get off oil. Instead, no more subsidies, a little cold hard Market principles would have these speculators and tycoons sparking a renewable Renewal.

symbols of Change are only symbols. Entropy vs Atrophy.  This is binary.

What we need is empathy, honesty, synthesis and chemistry.

US economics have been exposed as corperate Socialism. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the nations leading mortgage lenders) have no business tryin to turn a profits, they and the Fed should not be interactin in the parlor games we call Wall Street. Now FDIC is bailing them out to the tune of $25 billion.

The public still doen't seem to get it. Fuck a bailout, let the investors take a loss.

as if they didn't  know these credit markets inflated while labor stagnated. The Fed just acted as a benefactor to morally and fiscally bankrupt swindlers and Petrocrats hedging their bets. While once again Cleveland takes the hit. Fuck it. . . pain is good for the art.

I'm buying a bike.

in this comedy of errors
I err on the side comedy

reflect on Deuteronomy
pray serenity

pen economy

invest in thrift store
future markets

and band-aids

dime a dozen rhymes
and I've got a dozen dimes

12'O clock
hands raised

Back to this music . . . another great one has ascended.

Camu Tao, The Columbus bred Producer of SA Smash has passed on. I hope his Legacy is cared for because what I've heard of his unreleased shit. . . phenominal.

Nas wrote a great album, now someone needs to remix it so I can listen to it.

Finally, my baby girl is tuning one in less than month and I think I just got my first gray hair.

Now babies sleep on their backs

so they never learn to crawl

just struggle for ballance

two step before the fall

I play the Catcher in the rye. . .

In the same way Kanye and Common put Chicago on the map, OutKast awoke the South or Bone Thugs N Harmony introduced their multi-syllabic, sing-song flavor to rep the 216 some years ago, the trio known as MuAmin Collective - Josiah Quarles (ZiON) & Aaron Snorton (aLIVE) and DjONIT - is at the cusp of defining the Cleveland hip-hop sound. MuAmin still embraces and espouses the anger and frustration of earlier artists like Public Enemy and N.W.A., with the organic funkiness of A Tribe Called Quest wrapped in a nice Cleveland candy-coated shell. Self-described as "no grills or frills, just real talk," their style combines street prophet rants, socially conscious slambook poetry and that conversation you have with your homeboys after having waaaay too much to drink. The strongpoint is that the two emcees have the chemistry of a point guard and forward that have played together for a few seasons; they play well off each other verbally and stylistically. The production is as fearless as it is experimental. With plenty of head nodding beats that recall the brilliance of J-Dilla, it ignores the standard formula in favor of obscure jazz riffs, punk rock yelps or a well-placed rock guitar lick, chopped and diced so fine you won't be able to recognize the original recipe. And yet the flavor is undeniable. 2008 should have good things in store for this collective. - Clarence D. Meriweather

Why do we need rooms full of dead bodies to self examine?
is it a coincidence?
same day, head officer of iraqi massacre was aquitted

used the same weapon and shells as Sean Bell when the police did it.
it's a culture

dialog in double talk is a dangerous liaison

I'm out here.
Don't ever say I wasn't speaking on it.
We weren't speaking on it.
They need to stop speaking  terms without the Mos Definitions.
Hip-Hop been representing.

But where's the spot light. Only seachlights.
Imus center stage headed for satelite.

The ability to move a particle, person, or object (overcoming inertia) is evidence of energy. This is science, physics, but more. We are soaked in the souls of dead suns. The water in our bodies drawn to the moon. Our feet massaged by the earth's churning of death to life.

In ancient Egypt they did not have vowels, for they considered them too powerful. A whisper in your ear, a sirens song. What of song? Every moment has it's own cellestial score, but we lift our voices, horns, hollowed drums, and strings to join the orchestra.

The echoes score new moments. When those moments are shared they reverberate between each, stirring, moving, changing, down to each individual cell membrane trembling as a shiver rises up your spine. Reality shifts, transcends space, time, imeage, memory and emotion in a place where everything that ever was is.

Now that we're all gathered here let us celebrate the miracle of existence together.
