Marcus Garvey Lite

Say it loud. I'm Black and I'm proud!

About Me

I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts! Myspace Graphics

Do I have to give you the rundown? Here's the readers digest version. I'm extremely tall, I'm a poet/real emcee/cousin/brother/son/step son/grandson/part time activist/hard working person of color/nephew/dreamer/world traveler/psychic friend/burden bearer. I'm everywhere, actually I have about 3 times as many real life relatives and friends than I do on this page so you've probably seen me before at some event or possibly your nearest street corner. I'm from D.C., born and raised but I got gentrified out so now I live in the city of Atlanta. Thats it, thas all. Long live James Brown

My Interests

This video was banned, and the reason is you will never ever see Hiphop as informative, graphic and responsible again. The truth is a powerful drug, that's why it's illegal ..

I'd like to meet:

..

Music:

If you watch closely you'll see a teenaged Lil Kim's video debut ..

Movies:

This video always gives me chills. ..

Television:

Mama said he's an ignorant nigga but of all my dad's buddies I'm sad I didn't get to meet this one.

Books:

Richard Wright is my man my man

Heroes:

Marcus Garvey is everything, our heartbeat, our teacher ....

What I eat on an average day
