My main interests include social problems everywhere, Third World and First. People that know what the fuck a struggle is and fight to appreciate a better life, that they most likely will never see. Keep ur fuckin head up, I see you, when noone else does. Greater awareness is needed because its true when people say the third world starts in your backyard, or the other side of the tracks. The only way to get out of poverty is to fight back, cuz no one else will listen. ------------- "Diamonds may be expensive, but they shouldn't cost lives"
I'd like to meet:
Its important to have Honesty and Loyalty(no fakes), which
is hard to come by these days. It seems as tho loyalty is just a word to most, when ppl die for that
'word' everyday. Its the most valuable thing in this world that is worth dyin for. This is what is meant by
being real. Who is real? Am I the last real vato alive??? sometimes it really seems like it, because
everywhere i look, theres ppl talkin bout others, mean muggin like they know what beef is, tryin to be sumthin
they know nothin about, hidin from the truth that will show itself eventually. When theres a problem, address it
to the person its with, and thats it..simple. The
truth may hurt sumtimes, but its what we strive for isnt it?
When it comes to celebrities, i wouldnt want to meet any of them. I wouldnt mind havin a conversation wit the late
Marcus Garvey or Bob Marley tho. "It is the obligation of all honorable men and women to see that in the future
competition of the races the survival of the fittest shall mean the triumph of the good, the beautiful, and the
true: that we may be able to preserve for future civilization all that is really fine and noble and strong,
and not continue to put a premium on greed and imprudence and cruelty." - Dubois

As you can see this is strickly hip-hop and reggae, but i also like that old school r&B, what u know about that isley brothers. That lovin music, you know.

Favorite movies is Friday, Menace 2 Society, Goodfellas, Shawshank Redemption, City of God, El Norte, Boyz N Da Hood, Blood In Blood Out, Taxi Driver, Scarface, Carlito's Way, Crash was live. Dead Presidents and Higher Learnin was deep also. Apocalypto was nice... new addition to Diirty's picks. Go see that joint
Television:
I dont really watch tv dun. Im startin to watch that Law and Order tho... gotta be stayin sharp wit the legal processes. Also Boondocks is deep and jokes at the same time. X-Files was also the shit back in the day but it dont play no more.
Books:
"If you walked by a street and you was walking a concrete and you saw a rose growing from concrete, even if it had messed up petals and it was a little to the side you would marvel at just seeing a rose grow through concrete. So way is it that when you see some ghetto kid grow out of the dirtiest circumstance and he can talk and he can sit across the room and make you cry, make you laugh, all you can talk about is my dirty rose, my dirty stems and how am leaning crooked to the side, u can't even see that I've come up from out of that" - Pac - Rose that Grew from ConcreteAlso Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart -------------I also got to put yall up on my favorite poem called 'You' by the beautiful poet Amber Artates. She finna do big things one of these days, just needs to clear her mind and see. Look out for her. Books is real important, cuz they might want to trap our minds with that white powder thats distributed, but with books, we can obtain the knowledge to make changes. George Orwell is deep, Socrates had sum shit to say, everybody from J.S. Mill to Nietzsche. George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four is probably my favorite book, and if u aint read it yet, fuck oprah's book club, u need to be up on Diirty's picks, lol.
Heroes:
My heroes is mom dukes, 2pac, and ghandi, cuz they faced so many struggles to get where they got and do what they did. I got to show love to Jem, who was a big inspiration to accomplish sum of my goals. You saved my life in a way, but also killed it... now thats sum next shit. People dont realize what they got until its gone, sumthin that comes along once in this lifetime if lucky, and when they gone, its too late... like a great MC once said 'maybe youll love me when i fade to black'. One who brings much needed light to a dark and cold life, is that one that is meant for you, because they provide the hope that change is possible. That change is the seed for inprovement. What u know bout that.
