About Me

"let justice be done, though the heavens fall."

Our lives are sailboat trips. When sailing to reach our destination, the wind may be in our favor or against but no matter, in order to reach that point, one must tack his/her way through the benefit or challenge of the wind. Ofcourse, We, at times, do not have a planned destination. The wind can take us so where it choses whether open seas, blue skies, sandy shores, or dark waters, grey skies, rocky shores. It seems our voyage is a dilemna with two solutions always present: port or starburt.

how many roads must a man walk down...the answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind.

In the present, there are people who place happiness above truth. These people live complete and happy lives, considering everything is good makes life very easy. However, is this true? Sadly, it's not. We live in a life full of modern corruption and violence. Around every corner, an act of evil and impurity occurs, but should we live constantly labeling life as this? No, since life has other corners full of joy. Now, that we've realized these two philosophies, let's create an inbetween called reality

the real hip hop is ova here. so we ask ourselves, what is hip hop? hip hop is not a song, a person, a name, a label, an amount of money, or a state of being. hip hop is a collective culture that cultivates in conflict construction inside communities that communicate their confusion through verbal communication throughout their hiphop nation that waits with patience until the moment their voice is heard on stations, no not the radio. the underground not found. soundbooming, fight the power- moving, open your mind to chosing as u wish without the money or the fame or becoming rich, unless u mean intellectually, independent, mic-checkin, word for word perfecting, expressive rich. now try to buy some support with that wealth.. can't pay the bills with knowledge itself. nonetheless, hip hop is beautiful and true, and to those who chose to use hip hop as their tool for refining their idea of themself, it will come as a suprise but to your being will rise above the cyclical, cynical, typical type of thought, and at the end of the day, money doesnt help you sleep. with knowledge, benefits you'll reap.
