MIC CHECK!

I AM A STUDENT OF LIFE. LIFE IS MY SPORT, AND MY BRAIN IS THE PLAYIN FIELD. I AM AN ARTIST, I EXPRESS MYSELF THRU MUSIC BY WAY OF BARS OVER HARD INSTRUMENTALS. LATELY IV BEEN FEELIN LIKE AFRIKA BAMBAATA, SEARCHIN FOR THE PERFECT BEAT. SOMETIMES THESE THOUGHTS TRANSCEND A SONG FORMA!T. THEN I REALIZED, SOMETIMES THE BEST WAY TO LISTEN TO LYRICS, IS ACAPELLA. NO DISTRACTIONS, JUS WORDS. NO CATCHY HOOK TO COMPENSATE FOR SUBPAR VERSES, LESS ROOM FOR ERROR, HIT OR MISS. A CHALLENGE TO SAY IN THE LEAST, BUT I MUST SAY DAT I FEEL RATHER COMFORTABLE. NO PRESSURE AT ALL. SO WATS A SOUNDTRACK WITH NO MUSIC? A NARRATION, A VOICE-OVER. COMMENTARY DATLL BRING AN ADDED CLARITY TO WAT UR WITNESSIN URSELF. YOUR WELCOME.

JUDGE DREAD

IM FEELIN LIKE A HARD-WORKIN MAN WHO CANT GET A LOAN BECAUSE OF HIS BAD CREDIT HISTORY. IM FEELIN LIKE A REHABILITATED FELON WHO'S DEFENSE DOESNT MATTER BECAUSE OF HIS RAP SHEET. SO I POSE A SERIES OF QWESTIONS, IS IT EVER TOO LATE TO CHANGE? AND IF SO, WHEN? WHEN DOES A MAN STOP BEIN JUDGED BY HIS PAST?
MANY PEOPLE ABIDE BY THE AGE-OLD MANTRA "ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME". THEN WHY DO WE CONTINUE TO JUDGE EACH UTHA? THATS THE POT CALLIN THE KETTLE BLACK. SOME EVEN HAVE IT PERMANENTLY WRITTEN ON THEIR SKIN AS A CONSTANT REMINDER. ITS A GESTURE MORE COMMONLY SEEN AMONGST THOSE CONSIDERED "OUTCASTS", OR THOSE WIT A MORE CHALLENGING PAST WE'LL SAY.
THEY SAY GOD IS COMING SOON, JUDGEMENT DAY IS UPON US. THE DAY WHEN THE WORLD ENDS, AND GOD TAKES ALL THE RIGHTEOUS WIT HIM TO HEAVEN. WHO DOES HE WANT TO TAKE WITH HIM? EVERYONE! UNFORTUNATELY, DAT WILL NOT BE THE CASE, EVEN GOD KNOWS DAT. HE KNEW LUCIFER WAS GONNA TURN ON HIM BEFORE HE DID, SAME STORY WITH JUDAS, BUT HE DIDNT PREVENT IT. WHY? BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE CHOICE, WITH DIS CHOICE SHOULD BE COUPLED WIT EFFORT, WHICH IS THE CATALYST TO AN AMELIORATE CHARACTER.
U KNO Y WE ALL WONT MAKE IT TO HEAVEN? BECAUSE MANY DONT PUT THE EFFORT FORWARD. WE ARE IN A PROBATIONARY PERIOD WHERE WE HAVE TO MAKE OURSELVES RIGHT BEFORE THE END COMMENCES. HERES THE LOOP, JUDEGMENT
IS COMING ANYWAY. U FOLLOW? GOD IS COMIN AT THE RIGHT TIME, WHEN HE KNOWS THOSE WHO WILL CHANGE, WILL CHANGE. THOSE HE KNOWS DAT WILL REMAIN THE SAME, WELL, WE KNO THEIR FATE.
THIS ISNT A LESSON ON THE APOCALYPSE, THIS IS A DISSECTION ON THE CONCEPT OF JUDGMENT. AS AN ADULT, I AM HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR MY ACTIONS. THE LEAST I CAN DO IS OWN UP TO THEM AND ADMIT MY WRONGS. IV DONE THINGS IN THE PAST DAT HAS AFFECTED MY PRESENT. IT DOESNT MEAN IM THE SAME PERSON I ONCE WAS, IT MEANS IV MADE MISTAKES. I HAVE A SIDE OF ME I HOPE NO ONE BECOMES FAMILIAR WIT. IF I TOLD U, U WOULDNT BELIEVE ITS THE SAME PERSON. IV HURT LOVED ONES AND HAVE HAD MY WHOLE CHARACTER IN QWESTION BECAUSE OF IT. BUT GOD IS GOOD, AND IM FINALLY AT PEACE. I HAVE A LOVING EAR AT HOME WHO HEARS ME OUT WHEN I NEED HER TO, BUT DIS WAS SUMPTIN I WAS COMPELLED TO SHARE. LOVE IS LOVE. UNCONDITIONAL LOVE IS IRRATIONAL. EVEN IF THERES SOMEONE U DONT CARE FOR MUCH TAKIN DAT STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, DONT HOLD THE POLAROID OF TRANSGRESSION OVER THEIR HEAD, ENCOURAGE DEM & PRAY DAT THEYVE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED THEIR JOURNEY. AND IF THEYVE MADE IT, CONGRATULATE EM & PRAY THEY STAY THERE.

5 OUT OF 5

SO I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH GENERALIZATION. IF THERE'S ANYTHING DAT RUBS ME THE WRONG WAY, IN THE WORST WAY, IT WOULD BE TO BE INCLUDED IN A NUMBER I HAVE NO INTEREST IN BEIN PART OF. IF ITS ONE THING I HOLD OF HIGH VALUE, IT WOULD BE MY INDIVIDUALITY. DIS IS A PRINCIPLE WHICH I RESPECT AND FEEL I DESERVE THE SAME IN RETURN. WE HAVE MANY STEREOTYPES WE CAN REFER TO, BUT IN DIS CASE LET'S KEEP IT GENDER CENTRIC. LET'S GET A LIL MORE SPECIFIC. WOMEN THINK ALL MEN ARE DOGS. ITS ALMOST A FACT ACCORDING TO THOSE WHO FEEL THAT WAY, THERE'S ALMOST NO CHANCE OF CONVINCIN UTHAWISE. USUALLY ITS THE SCORN WOMAN, OR THE DAUGHTER, SISTER, OR BEST FRIEND OF WOMAN SCORN, WHO ONLY KNOWS OF THE BAD EXPERIENCES THEIR PREDECESSORS HAVE BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION. WHAT MAKES IT FACTUAL? WHY AM I A DOG CUZ THE GUYS UV BEEN INVOLVED WIT DOGGED U OUT? "ALL MEN ARE DOGS", DIS IS A THEORY. A THEORY CAN BE IN SHORT DEFINED AS A CONTEMPLATION, OR SPECULATION. AND "EDUCATED GUESS" IF U WILL. NOW, IT IS NOT CONSIDERED A FACT UNTIL THE THEORY IS TESTED AND DEEMED CONSISTENT. SO HERE'S WHERE I'm GETTIN AT. DO GUYS CHEAT? SURE, JUST AS MUCH AS WOMEN. WHO DOES IT MORE? I COULDN'T ANSWER DAT. NOW, WAT MAKES A WOMAN CONFIDENTLY SAY "ALLLL MEN CHEAT"? COULD IT BE THE UNDENIABLE CONSISTENCY? WAT IF I ASKED 5 WOMEN IF THEY CHEATED, AND ALL 5 SAID YES? DATll MAKE MY THEORY 100% ACCURATE. I CAN THEN CONFIDENTLY CONCUR, DAT ALL WOMEN CHEAT. WHY? BECAUSE MY STUDY PROVES ME RIGHT. NOW, EVEN WITH DAT TANGIBLE EVIDENCE, IS IT FAIR TO GENERALIZE ALLLL WOMEN?? I'm SURE NOT ALL DO, BUT 5 OUT OF 5 DO! IS IT FAIR LADIES?? TALK TO ME!!

FEAR OR RACISM??

AS I HOP INA CAB TO GO HOME, THE DRIVER ASKS ME "YOU CALL FOR TAXI?" WITH A SPANISH ACCENT. I THEN RESPOND AND ANSWER HIM IN SPANISH. I ALSO TAKE THE LIBERTY OF TELLING HIM WHERE IM GOIN, JUST TO REASSURE HIM THAT I WAS THE ONE THAT CALLED. YOU SEE, I HAD JUST LEFT THE PROJECTS. HE THEN TELLS ME, HOW HE THOUGHT IT WAS THIS OTHER "MORENO" (SPANISH SLANG FOR DARK-SKINNED PERSON) HE HAD SEEN AT THE CORNER. I CHUCKLED. HE THEN PROCEEDED TO TELL ME HOW RELIEVED HE WAS WHEN HE HEARD ME SPEAK SPANISH. HE ASKED ME OF MY NATIONALITY, I TOLD EM HONDURAN. HE SAID, "GARIFUNA?"(GOOGLE IT), I SAID YES. I ASKED HIM, YOU KNOW ANY PERSONALLY? HE ANSWERED IN SPANISH AND SAID "YES, I HAVE MANY HONDURAN GARIFUNA FRIENDS". I SAID COOL. HE THEN TOLD ME, HE TELLS ALL HIS GARIFUNA FRIENDS TO SPEAK SPANISH WHEN THEY TAKE A CAB, I ASKED WHY. HE SAID, SO THE DRIVER WILL KNOW THAT THEY ARE NOT AFRICAN-AMERICAN. NOW AT THIS POINT, IM THINKIN TO MYSELF, I KNOW WHY THESE CAB DRIVERS ARE SCARED TO PICK-UP YOUNG BLACK MEN, BUT I WANNA PICK HIS BRAIN, HEAR IT FROM THE HORSE'S MOUTH. SO I ENGAGE IN JUST ENOUGH CONVERSATION TO KEEP HIM GOIN, SEEKIN AFFIRMATION TO THIS UNSPOKEN TRUTH. HE THEN ELABORATES AND TELLS ME, EVERYTIME A CAB DRIVER IS ROBBED OR MURDERED, ITS USUALLY A BLACK PERSON WHO DID IT. HE THEN SAID, HONDURANS R HARD WORKERS, JAMAICANS R HARD WORKERS, DOMINICANS R HARD WORKERS, BUT AFRICAN-AMERICANS ARE NOT. THEY WILL KILL YOU OVER $100."I GOT KIDS, A FAMILY AT HOME, ALL THAT IS WORTH $80 TO U?". "THEY'RE UP TO NO GOOD, THEY DONT WORK, THEY ROB, KILL, AND THEY DONT BATHE". THAT OF COURSE IS A STEREOTYPE AND GENERALIZATION. ALL THE WHILE IM LISTENIN, NOT UPSET, BECAUSE GOD WINKS AT IGNORANCE, AND I REFUSE TO EVER LET IT GET THE BEST OF ME. JESUS SAID "FORGIVE THEM LORD, FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO". I SAID THE SAME PRAYER TO MYSELF AT THAT MOMENT. I PRAYED FOR AN OPEN EAR, AN OPEN HEART, AND A CALM SPIRIT. I THEN TOLD HIM, YEA I HAVE HARD TIME STOPPIN CABS AT TIMES, BUT I CANT BLAME THEM, THEY DONT KNO THE GOOD ONES FROM THE BAD ONES. STILL SUCKS THO, CUZ I WALK AROUND BEARIN A REP DAT ISNT MINE. A BAD ONE AT DAT! HE THEN TOLD ME THERE ARE BAD PEOPLE EVERYWHERE, ROBBERS KILLERS, BUT HERE IN THE U.S ITS MORE DISTINGUISHED AMONGST THE AFRICAN-AMERICANS. I POSED THIS QWESTION ON MY TWITTER, AND GOT SOME GOOD RESPONSES, BUT WAT I MOSTLY GOT WAS "IGNORANCE, AND DAS RACIST". BUT I SAT IN AND HEARD THIS GUY'S PERSPECTIVE. NOT JUSTIFYING HIS BELIEF, MORESO RATIONALIZING. UNDERSTANDING ITS ORIGIN. WE FEAR WAT WE DONT UNDERSTAND, BUT HOW MANY OF US GO THE EXTRA MILE AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND IT? NOT MUCH, WE JUS AVOID IT. RIGHT? IF YOU HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH SOMEONE OR SOMEWHERE, WOULDNT U KEEP AWAY FROM IT? ISNT THAT THING TAGGED AS NEGATIVE FOR THE REST OF UR LIFE? ITS NOT RIGHT DAT THESE CAB DRIVERS CAN DRIVE RIGHT PAST US AND ACT AS IF THEY DIDNT SEE US FLAGGIN EM DOWN. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THEY THINK WE'RE GONNA INFLICT HARM ON THEM. I CAN TELL YOU A BUNCH OF INCIDENCES, BUT IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO THIS. WAS DIS BRUTHA BEIN RACIST? OR WAS HE JUST SPEAKING OUT OF FEAR? CAN U BLAME HIM? IF NOT HIM, THEN WHO? **HERE'S AN LIL VIDEO I GOT FROM THE CONVO..ITS IN SPANISH SO IF YOU DONT SPEAK IT, FIND U A TRANSLATOR LOL..I WASNT GON POST IT, BUT HIS IDENTITY REMAINS ANONYMOUS SO I FIGURED THERE WOULD BE NO HARM DONE TO HIS CHARACTER..

ROLE MODEL SERIES: MUHAMMAD ALI

AS I TURN ON THE TV I SEE A DOCUMENTARY PLAYING ON PROLLY ASIDE, GOD, MY FAVORITE MAN OF ALL-TIME. A MAN WHO WAS NOT ONLY INFLUENTIAL TO THE AUDIENCE OF HIS CRAFT, BUT TO THE WORLD. THIS MAN CHALLENGED POLITICS, BUT WAS NO POLITICIAN. HE SPOKE WITH GREAT CONFIDENCE AND CHARISMA, BUT WAS NO CAR SALESMAN. IN FACT, HE WAS MORE PERSUASIVE THAN ONE. HE EVEN SAID, AND I QUOTE "I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I really was the greatest." MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. NOT ONLY DID HE TALK THE TALK, BUT HE WALKED THE WALK. HE WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO WIN THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP 3 TIMES. YES HE WAS A BOXER. IN MY OPINION, THE GREATEST EVER. HE WAS ALSO AN OUTSTANDING INDIVIDUAL. HE DENIED THE DRAFT FOR THE VIETNAM WAR AND STATED "I ain't draft dodging. I ain't burning no flag. I ain't running to Canada. I'm staying right here. You want to send me to jail? Fine, you go right ahead. I've been in jail for 400 years. I could be there for 4 or 5 more, but I ain't going no 10,000 miles to help murder and kill other poor people. If I want to die, I'll die right here, right now, fightin' you, if I want to die. You my enemy, not no Chinese, no Vietcong, no Japanese. You my opposer when I want freedom. You my opposer when I want justice. You my opposer when I want equality. Want me to go somewhere and fight for you? You won't even stand up for me right here in America, for my rights and my religious beliefs. You won't even stand up for my right here at home." A GREAT MAN WHO STOOD FOR WAT HE BELIEVED. HIS NAME WAS CASSIUS CLAY, OR AS MORE OF US MAY KNO HIM, MUHAMMAD ALI. HIS PERSONA AND INFLUENCE TRANSCENDED THE VERY MEDIUM THAT BROUGHT LIGHT TO HIM, BOXING. HE SERVED AS A ROLE MODEL TO ME BY NOT ONLY BEING THE BEST AT HIS CRAFT AMONGST STELLAR COMPETITION. BUT HE OVERCAME ADVERSITY WHEN THE GENERAL PUBLIC DOUBTED HIM AND ENDED UP ON TOP. AS AN ARTIST, AND AS A MAN, THESE ARE ATTRIBUTES I TAKE NOTE OF AND SHOULD POSSESS TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND INFLUENTIAL TO PEOPLE. HE SAID such things as "
He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life. " WHICH IN MUSIC, MEANS EVERYTHING. IM NOT HERE TO ASSIMILATE TO WHATS GOIN ON NOW, AND FOLLOW THE LEADER. IM TRYNA TO BE THE LEADER. "I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want." THINGS LIKE THIS GOT ME THROUGH IT BEFORE I EVEN TOOK ON MUSIC AS A CAREER, AND NOW HE GOT ME FEELIN LIKE THIS "It's hard to be humble, when you're as great as I am. " WHY? BECAUSE "I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was". BIG UPS TO MR. ALI. ONE OF MY BIGGEST ROLE MODELS, ONE OF MY FAV MEN OF ALL-TIME.GET'EM CHAMP!
