F. Khristopher Blue
Influences: Mister Blue's musical influences are varied. In rap, such influences are Rakim, KRS One, De La Soul, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Scarface, Too Short, Tupac, Biggie Smalls, LL Cool J, Big Daddy Kane, Nas, Gangstarr, and more... for R&B, my influences reach back to way before I was born. Modern R&B is nothing in comparison to the classic R&B and true singers such as Luther Vandross, Patti Labelle, and Anita Baker. I like almost every kind of music and pull from all types of music in my production and musical expression.
On another note, let me explain why I feel I won GeeChee One Magazine's Writer of the Year and Poet of the Year for 2008...
I write about Black women and Black men
But most of all, my writings for the future, our Black children
When I wrote SNITCHES, N4Red thought I was advocating
So I sat down with him, and told him what I really was stating
And in BROTHERS NEED TO STEP UP, yeah some brothers got mad
But the women read the truth, and they were inspired and glad
See this Black society has caused a division of sorts
Black men slipping down the drain, and cycling through the courts
And where’s the child support? We can do better for the kids
I tell mine I love them everyday and I handle by biz
When writing, I pay homage to my African Queens
Cuz without them, there’s no me, If you know what I mean
With the HISTORY OF THE N WORD, that’s a word I carefully use
Look at the history if it, look at how our people were abused
When disrespected by that word, yeah we all gonna lose
Well some say its just a word, well that’s their choice to choose
And VOTE OR SHUT UP, pointed out political facts
They act like they don’t wanna vote, but talk plenty of smack
And in DAUGHTERS NEED THEIR FATHERS,
yeah I’m a father who’s raising daughters
and I know how life is without a father who can’t be bothered
Who skips out on responsibilities or do what the court says do
And not a thing more, look at the evil these men do
And this is a small example of my writing expertise
Can’t think of another writer locally who can best any of these
I have more articles physically published than the blogs that they do
My work speaks for itself, they can’t write more truth than the Blue
Look at my numerous articles compared to my competition
There’s a reason why I won last year, I’m on a mission
And each time the magazine comes out, I get better than ever
You think they can write better than me… uh huh, never
But its not all about me, its all about you
The people who read the articles, who can feel what I do
Who read what I write and take something from it
As long as they get something from it, they can hate it or love it
Yall made the right choice, and voted for Mister Blue
And if you need me too, I can ghostwrite for you, too.
