International politics/conflicts, real hop hop, and marine aquariums.

Real hip hop, RnB, funk, soul, reggae... BUT NONE OF THAT COMMERCIAL BULLSHIT. My favorite revolutionary lyricist hands down is IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE but I gotta give respect to my cousin PATRIARCH doin' it real and revolutionary right here in the Bay. These cats spit truth in the form of hip hop. Also, gotta show love to Dead Prez, The Coup, Talib and Mos, Paris, Public Enemy, Akir, KRS-1, Gangstarr, Little Brother, Nas, Outkast, Lupe Fiasco, De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest (y'all need to get back together), Damien Marley, India Arie, Misiq Soulchild, Anthony Hamilton, and of course Tupac and Biggie. Kanye West, we still got love for your arrogant ass but we need you to get loud again and rattle some cages... we ain't heard shit from you since Katrina, but you wouldn't wanna lose any sponsors now would ya?
Hotel Rwanda, City of God, Braveheart, V for Vendetta, Gaza Strip... too many to list but these are some of the ones that are in a category of their own. Fuck calling them movies… I call them life altering events.
The Shield, Entourage, Real Time with Bill Maher, Chapelle Show, and the entire fox news network when I need an excuse to beat the living shit out of somebody.
Wish I would get off my lazy ass and read some... there are some good books out their. Not tryin' to preach and be a hypocrite, but if we all picked up some books every now and then we might actually broaded our horizons. Maybe that would reduce the number of ignorant, misinformed, easily manipulated people who make this country such a piece of shit.
All the resilient victims of oppression.
