Okay I decided I needed to stop the bullshit and just get on my MC. Because I honestly I dont have the soft lyrical sing song voice that is sought in the poetry indiustry. I'm hood. I'm not quite lady like but I can appear to be so. I'm far from dumb I just dont like being a know it all...because you cant so you always frustrating yourselves and others. I am very concious and very militant. But I'm not a militant black person. I'm just militant and I feel like...like...the game is soft. There are no female MCs. So the game is soft, bias and in most cases hateful toward women. (And before my male readers even start; I know the differeance between ladies and bitches...and I don't shun songs that sing about genuine bitches but there are virtually no songs calling women queens, goddess, mother nothing. I dead ass can't remember a mainstream MC doing a song about his mother in the past 3 years...wow) Where is the lyricism about women as something other than... Why when Hip Hop Freshman came out this year there were no females on the line up? Not one. Yeah there is Remy but...she on lock. Lauryn done lost her mine...there is something lacking...
Here is what I have notice in my 2 weeks of being a female MC
1) When dudes find out that your rapping they interview you more than a fucking broadcaster
2) Or they don't believe you
3) Or they think you rhyming about dicks and shit
4) When I practice freestyling in the street ppl look at me like I got bugs in my ear
5) My mother thinks that this is phase (I'm sure many people do actually)
but those are just the cons
1) Since I been on my shit I'm bumping into mad men behind the curtain industry type heads (i.e.) a jamaican basment party on the hill I just happen to be walking by
2) Many who are already doing there thing want to take me under there wing
3) For every person who tell me I'm wack 4.3 tell me I'm hot (yeah I'm keeping count)
4) I'm cautious who I let know I'm spittin
5) Realized how much I love music and how fine my ear is picking out notes and other type things
6) The sky is the limit
7) I don't fight the music, the music fight for me
8) I was born to do this and if you tell me I'm lying I think you stupid
9) I don't know know what High Kun means but that's my booth name
"I rap now" "No you don't" "Yeah I do" "So spit sumthing" "I'm still in the developmental stages. I ain't have the practice you had." "I ain't practice, I just speak" "See? Nothing changed"
I bumped into Sciryl and Charles Hamilton last night. IT was kinda awkward because I been engaged in booth genocide, then got caught in the rain and was having a bad hair day. But there was love there. It's good to see my ppls doing their thing. Sciryl just came out with his album S.C.O.O.P. (Slight Change of Plans) and Charles was on the the cover of XXL this month. It was inspiring. Nah thats corny. It gave me a jolt to see my niggas accomplish and pull off something better than great because it came from them organically no ready made shit. Sciryl been on his grind since 14 @ Urban Word has been on DEf Poetry Jam and anyone who is an early Charles listener remembers him roaming the streets of Harlem letting everyone hear his latest hot shit (lol memories of summer 07) This newness in the game is so good. Owww!
His last LP Poisonous Politiks was the truth It was gritty medley of revolutionary, gutter and trip hop bars the production was excelsior the album flowed like, well, an album I was impressed and I told him And he was impressed with my voice So I'm hopping on his set @ Sullivan Hall on the 20th of November I dont know if Ima be a poet or MC we gonna figure it out
Cuz me and my Komrades cant watch them and honestly I think the people that make these movies are sick There are mathematical equations in all this People are making a science out of torture and pain and thats not sovereign
It seems like its always a struggle when I ask my mother for something. And I rarely ask she for anything. I haven't had an ipod since like Febuary. But I'm working on a song and I want to prep myself while I'm on the move as oppsed to doing it in the 6 hours I am home. So I call my mom and she tells me,"We have to discuss that and then I'll give you the Ipod." right? But my whole thing is 1) she doesnt listen to it 2) She knows I'm a junky and music the pipe 3) She let her dusthead boyfriend give it to his homeboy and he had it for a good 3 months (a stranger) I'm on my Way of the Peaceful Warrior shit. My mother doesn't have to trust me, like or even love me. And I'm OD cool with that. But when she does things like this...it hurts...you know? She gives me all the guidelines and rhetoric that she would give a average person on the street. Why?
I turned on my computer and this popped up (http://www.dignifiedcaskets.com/?Click=37) out of all the porn sites, couple matching sites and the like why would a site for coffins pop up on my computer...is the government trying to send me a message?
I need Graf heads, Mural artists, painters and visual artists. I want to turn my room into a piece of art. Let me me know if you intrested (646) 320 2223
So I got a new joint. No names we aint gonna do that. But I'm trying to distinguish if he is my boyfriend or main flow. I really try hard not to talk about the state of any of my unions. I wish not to jinx them. But here are a list of things I hate and like about the young chap.
Dislikes 1) How he acts 10 years younger than what he already is and he is a year younger than me! 2) Him drinking my Minute Maid Cherry Limeade out the container 3) Getting into my bed with his dirty sneaker socks 4) Taking 2 hours, literally, to bring back whatever I asked to get him from the store 5) His comrades who are trying to fuck me 6) His fascination with being Don MAgic Juan (just the swag NOT the company) 7) Forgetfulness 8) His ever slick harlem boy mouth 9) His lazy 10) His extracurricular activities
Likes 1) He watched Zeitgeist from beginning to end then took it upstairs and showed it to the homeys 2) Has a deep seething hate for the NYPD 3) Going to the army (so he can teach me how to take guns apart) 4) He can freestyle better than most mcs in the game and has no intentions of being a rapper 5) He is bold and rebellious and says whatever he feels 6) He will man up for being wrong 7) He is teaching me how to be a japaholic 8) He looks like a young dark skin Tupac 9) Even though he doesnt claim me as his girl he dont let birds be fly in his face 10) He tries to teach me new things but stops in the middle lol he has ADD 11) He reminds me of Claude Brown in Man Child in the Promised Land 12) He doesnt drink...at all
Things We Have in Common
1) Ride the 5 2) Love gangster flicks 3) Love sweet potato pies from Crown Fried Chicken 4) All day potheads 5) Common sense 6) Like to make money 7) Always on the move 8) Sloppy organized 9) nicotine obsession 10) Slapboxaholics (we practice on each other) 11) Stay in bed til noon
Okay I have been ironing out the details. I'm having the book release party for Constellation of a Black Star in November date tba I'm having it at Revival.
Cakeman Raven is making my Cake
And you already know the book is going to be the truth...
And most people know its because the main character Ofelia reminds me of my friend Channel; Living in her fantasy world, rebelling against authority, confronting monsters to get by and the ending when she passed abruptely. I cry sometime I see the end, but it's a good cry, a cathartic one. In my nostalgic and emotional way I liken Ofelia's descension to her 7 Circular Palace to Channel ascending to wherever. That's it...aint know more. Had to honor my passed ones on a Sunday.
It's going to be the best poem I've ever written. I was inspired by The Complete Grimm's Fairytales. Most people think there are only like 10 or so Fairytales; Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood (It's Little Red Cap in the book), Snow White, Rapunzel and Thumbalina. In actuality there are about 210. My poem is basically referances to all of them. I dont know if I want to tie in several stories or focus on one main chracter. But I'm laying the groundwork.
You know Silky my sister in law, comrade, secretary and life coach lol. But nah for real we found out today that her great grandmother Jaunita was my grandfather's 1st cousin. Now technically that would make us cousins by blood. Now aint that sum hotness. I find this funny because we was going everywhere telling people we was sisters or cousins and it just happens to be true....sometimes I swear I'm my own genie.
(Wolf Howls) I'm not a hunter but i am told, that, uh, in places like in the arctic, where indiginous people sometimes might, might, hunt a wolf, they'll take a double edged blade, and they'll put blood on the blade, and they'll melt the ice and stick the handle in the ice, so that only the blade is protruding, and that a wolf will smell the blood and wants to eat, and it will come and lick the blade trying to eat, and what happens is when the wolf licks the blade, of course, he cuts his tongue, and he bleeds, and he thinks he's really having a good thing, and he drinks and he licks and he licks, and of course he is drinking his own blood and he kills himself, thats what the Imperialists did with us with crack cocaine, you have these young brothers out there who think they are getting something they gonna make a living with, they is getting something they can buy a car, like the white people have cars, why can't i have a car? they getting something they can get a piece of gold, white people have gold, why can't i have gold? they getting something to get a house, white people have a house, why can't i have a house? and they actually think that theres something thats bringing resources to them, but they're killing themselves just like the wolf was licking the blade, and they're slowly dying without knowing it. thats whats happening to the community, you with me on that? thats exactly, precisely what happens to the community, and instead of blaming the hunter who put the damn handle and blade in the ice for the wolf, that what happens is the wolf gets the blame, gets the blame for trying to live, thats what happens in our community, you don't blame the person, the victim, you blame the oppressor, Imperialism, white power is the enemy, was the enemy when it first came to Africa, and snatched up the first African brothers here against our will, is the enemy today, and thats the thing that we have to understand.
