Corporate Rel feat Charan P - System of Oppression
Add to My Profile | More Videos
Influences:
“Everybody’s a gangster, everybody’s a killer, everybody’s a hustler, murderer, drug dealer. Everybody’s a pimp, everybody’s a mack, show me the demographics to support these facts. I say the definition that we’ve been given is whack. I say I’ve had enough. It’s time to push back.†- Corporate Rel“I don’t wear fatigues young boy ‘cause I’m older. I’d rather wear suits ‘cause the suits run the soldiers.†- Corporate Rel“Our siblings are not reading like they use to. The cruel joke that states, “If you want to hide something from a ______, put it in a book†rings true more so now than ever. Our younger brothers and sisters are educating themselves with ubiquitous doses of multimedia branding schemes via mp3s and tv screens. The ghetto hustler is the new Jesus, his video vixen sexpot is the new Mary. Persecuted, crucified and shot multiple times for just 'trying to get mine.' I guess that makes me the rap religion’s truest atheist. Chuuuch.†- Corporate RelBarbara Smith (Mama Corporate) is a devout feminist. She ingrained in me a love, admiration and respect for women that transcends all things. My mother is the original Silver Spoon. Intelligent, confident, attractive, dynamic, eloquent, outspoken, stylish, driven, passionate, regal matriarch, wise, rhythmic dancer, wine connoisseur, hostess, and revolutionary. Subconsciously, every man seeks his mother in a mate. I seek my mother in our race."You know I keep a black woman, Cloretta Scott King, I think about her now, everytime I have a dream! I have about 50 other names on the topic. Tell me what you like, Corporate Rel 'll rap about it." -Corporate RelI Am A: Computer Programmer, Web Designer, Audio Engineer, Graphic Designer, Videographer, Strategic Planner, Human & Organizational Development Specialist, Social Dynamic Interpretation Specialist, Counselor, Horticulturalist, Artist Developer, Poet, Public Speaker, Mentor, Crowd Motivator, MC.I Was A: Boy Scout, Short Stop, Latch Key Kid, After School Program Attendee, Step Master, Power Lifter, Cheerleader, Raver, Collegiate D-Boy, Breaker, Su-Su Coordinator, Dean of Pledges, Racist, Stereotype CollectorI’m well equipped for this endeavor…It’s been said before, but never meant like this…This is bigger than music, this is a movement.
