>> Linez from the gr8 teacha- KRS One <<
* Trust in God, that's where the crown is at. It's not in what you get, it's what happens after that.
* Your addiction to your needs and your wants is what causes problems in your life. Make sure you got watcha need. Put at a safe distance all the things that you want. It's what you want that gets you into trouble.
* You sleep with a man, that's your husband. So make sure before you lay down, you love him.
* Instead of picking up our women, ready to mistreat them, you better get yourself a wife and kid and never leave them.
* Rap is something you do Hip Hop is something you live.
* Better change your ways, we coming up on stranger days.
* Everyone and everything is at war, making my poetic expression hardcore.
* Trust in the inner, the outer is for sinners.
Thanks for those linez Big man.
Now that being noted with pleasure, i will delve straight into sharing the little I have gathered and also looking forward to learn from the rest of the Hip Hop Headz fam with the passion for the fifth element or Hip Hop kulture so to speak. which is not necessarily the focal point though. I call it Horizon Corner.
***** Horizon Corner# hop in to widen the gaze on the windscreen. Like most Hip Hop Headz, am more interested in minds + creativity= benefits/knowledge to feed the insatiable taste for knowing and learning the art of sharing as well to uplift the mind-state in any little way possible *****
KRS One is more than a man I so much admire... Going through his works, lectures and all his activism campaigns in the black communities and the world at large, mein I feel something beyond the expression of words for being part and parcel of Hip Hop kulture as to how it impacted my life and whole perspective of my immediate surrounding and the world at large. Hip Hop is a culture you live, just like 2PAC did though he is often regarded as dwelling on violent lyrics but there is another side of the coin too- He waltz his way into the white mainstream "bursting through" at a time he felt calls for his actions and his own redefinition of a T.H.U.G in a more conceptual way countering "em crackers" making use of the art of war to break free and fight for social justice and craving to see change in black communities similar to Malcom X's and Che Guevara's own definition of REVOLUTION. "Somebody gotta explain why I ain’t got shit" 2Pac speaking here.
Am sure my brother P-a will shed light comprehensively on this area of the corner. He loves revolutionary figures and shares their ideals as well.
Now back to the lane, looking back at the past events you'd realize that most of the events surrounding slavery, injustice, suffering, poverty, disease, segregation etc has really influenced Hip Hop in many ways, and it is still evidently replicated in the works of different people from different cultures and background using Hip Hop to express what ever has to deal with change, education, upliftment, attitudinal change among others to prepare minds destined for greater things in life than being caged in our own minds in our own bodies.
In reality human being like taking excuses all the time to serve what ever purpose.
In light of that, authentic Hip Hop is often regarded as anti system/hardcore (to some it is=*boring*) but Hip Hop can teach us a whole lot of good things especially now more than ever, the changing world where only few cares about how we would tend to look at things and value things while buried in trying to put ends first before humanity. I believe Hip Hop can drive us to learn about self, surroundings, economy, religion and all the things that has to do with our planet and even beyond. Its not just about kicks and juice or whips and chains rap songs breeding another self destruct lifestyles ranging from the food and drinks being consumed, lavish lifestyle which stands for "live today while you can tomorrow is not promised to no one". Imagine that culture of thinking incorporated into the things that bear marks on us all on a daily basis. What happened to love and respect for self to be replicated into our immediate environments? nowadays things that used to be big deals are no longer big deals, (teenage pregnancy or casual sex, mode of dressing, respecting elders consent, gay tolerance, etc) why? well maybe what we take globalization, civilization development suppose to be is really taking a toll on the us in another way round and downgrading our sense of blackness which Hip Hop has continued to advocate, to learn about self first to before expressing self to know where you are heading.
Anywayz.. don’t wanna be no-it-all or do-gooder, the point is to raise such awareness in our everyday life and works of art most especially the most influential genre in the whole world (Hip Hop) than learning to be very good at turning a deaf ears to things that usually defeat our purpose.
