Game On a Nation: Hip Hop Intellectual

 
If you were at Coachella this weekend, you got a surprise when  the legendary Tupac Shakur performed in front of a crowd. Okay, it was not him in person, but technology was used to create an actually hologram of his likeness that was so close to the real thing that it was very eerie. Watching Tupac on stage was eerie in deed because it makes you think where Mr. Shakur would be right now if he had lived that tragic night. At the same breath seeing him perform will make you forget about all of the current rappers out there. Tupac will allows be the zenith of Hip Hop culture and for many men out there the personification of man hood. See Tupac's performance for yourself, click the video below.

Jay Smooth has done it again with his brilliant rendition of his song "Phony" which cuts into the flip flopping stance of the GOP run runner Mitt Romney. Folks please get this a listen because in my opinion this is a master piece that needs to be shared with all. If you like that video then check out Jay Smooth's site ILL Doctrine.com.

We must stop looking at Dr. King as a dreamer but more of a drum major for justice. The reason that I bring up dreamer versus drum major is because the dreamer is passive and the drum major is active. We must wake up from a dream and start marching our feet behind the drum major.

The conscience of African Americans must return to those previous levels of the 60s. In order for us to do that, the following behavior modifications must occur:
  • Start reading about your history
  • Start being conscience about what you are feeding your mind
  • Stop gossiping about one another
  • Stop name calling at each other
  • Stop curing at each other
  • Stop robbing from one another
  • Stop killing one another
  • Stop throwing trash where you live and where other live as well
  • Stop using and selling drugs to each other
  • Stop promoting the thinking of black children, that as children they can be adequate parents
  • Stop pretending that racism does not exist
I was inspired to post this piece after listening to Dr. Frances Cress Welsing talk about Dr. King, and I would like to share it with you in hopes that it inspires you to take some form of action. Good day, and forget about keeping a dream alive, keep the march moving forward.

Happy New Year everyone, and I know that you guys have been patiently waiting for the annual end of year rap up by your boy Skillz, well here it is hot out of the oven for you. So be careful that you don't burn your mouth getting a taste of the rap up, because 2011 was a crazy year.

This parody of the GOP debate is fantastic as aired on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, the GOP debates have really turned into a Peanut Gallery.

Jay Smooth from Ill Doctrine has the perfect analogy regarding the news media (mostly right wing) who tries to down play the Occupy Wall Street movement. But don't just listen to me, click below and hear the analysis straight from Jay Smooth's mouth.

Muammar Gaddafi was killed by the rebels with the assistance of NATO and other western powers. But most Americans do not understand what happen with this event, and most still do not understand who Gaddafi was. This speech that Gaddafi made in 2009 is pointing out the crimes and misuse of NATO. This is the same NATO that drops bombs and use drones over Libya under the guise that it is the rebels who are fighting Loyalist forces. This is like two kids (Rebels vs Loyalist) fighting after school, and a couple of adults (NATO & Western Powers) holding down the kid (Loyalist) so that the other kid (Rebels) can win the fight. This is the game that is being ran on this Nation.

A Black solider stands up for Occupy Wall Street Against the cops and stays true to the Marine pledge "...I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;..." Did you notice that part comes before the other parts of the oath.

On this track Jay-Z some people are claiming that Jay is firing back at Lil Wayne for the diss track that Wayne did:

"Y’all niggas need a timeout, who got these niggas all wind up/Cocksucka I’m 7.30, y’all know where you’ll niggas gon wind up/No more Mr Nice Guy, hello Mr Nice Watch/Only but a matter of time ‘fore I hit ya’ll niggas with a nice shot/Y’all niggas, better not call the law/Get no blood on my Audemar/Meaning ya’ll better not waste my time/When y’all ready I’ll take you all to war."

This music video is directed by Jeremie Rozan from Surface Air. I love this video because it is an analogy of the fighting that young black man must go through in life against those in control and even his own brothers who will stand in his way. However at the end of the day sometimes it is that young black man who is his own worse enemy.
