doing the do.

Not a day passes where I'm not doing something creative, whether it's a song, a photo, a painting or just an idea. Even though that is the case, I haven't felt like an artist in years.

Happy Mom Mom Day

Suicide Driver Versus Dutch Royal Family

Yesterday, during the Queens Day parade a man attempted to drive his car into the Royal Family's motorcade. I hear that this is the first time in 250 years someone would have been charged with attempting to harm the Dutch Royal Family, but since the guy died from his injuries no charges were filed. Duuuh...Obviously.


5 people have died, 17 are still wounded of which critical. 1 policeman and 1 army police man were also wounded.

The man who attempted the assassination had just lost hes job and house. They say he was not connected to any radical group and that the police found no explosives in the car. They did find a map with the route the royal bus was taking.

When I first saw this story on the news, the reporters mentioned that now the " Dutch's eyes are opened". They went on to discuss that maybe this lone attack would cause the Dutch to increase security and army presence. Sounds like an invite to join the war against terror to me!

I spent some time in the netherlands and it's actually one of the most chilled, relaxed places I've been. I hope this isn't going to change anytime soon.

Israel Versus Gaza

I seriously am worried about the state of humanity.

Jesse Jackson Versus Nasir Jones

Jesse Jackson Versus Barack Obama

Sometimes the Prez game reminds me of the Rap game! Geez! WTFIGO! First Ice-T tells Souljah Boy to "Eat a d___!" and now Jesse's going in on Barack! Whoa! I don't have much to say about this situation except that Jesse is getting his hate up. Maybe he's still a tad bit upset about losing the Democratic nomination in 1984 and can't stand to see another Black man become the first Black President (Not counting the 5 back in the day who passed for White, according to some historians theories). The best part about this clip is that he didn't even know they were recording.

I was only able to find this Bill O'Reilly youtube clip. Sorry, if you don't want to hear Bill you can skip to the 30 second interval or the 2:00 minute interval and hear what Jesse says. This is supposedly the "clean" version. There's more footage circulating on the Boob Tube with Jesse saying how he wants to snip Obama's nuts or something. EEEW! Jesse! I wonder what Martin The King is saying about this from the promise land! In closing, how is Obama even talking down to "Black" people?




Check this site out if you're interested on the theory of 5 Black Presidents.  In my opinion color is irrelevant, unless you're in Africa without you're SPF-50. lol

I feel we're all from Planet Earth, unless this is the beginning of some Will Smith movie in which we're all aliens ;-).

Sean Carter versus Noel Gallagher

Brooklyn's own Sean Carter aka Jay-Z kills Noel Gallagher with humor at this year's Glastonbury Music Festival. Earlier this year Oasis' Noel Gallagher expressed that Jay-Z's headlining of the festival which has a tradition of booking guitar-based headliners was "wrong".

He also stated:

"If it ain't broke don't fix it," "If you start to break it then people aren't going to go. I'm sorry, but Jay-Z? No chance."

"Glastonbury has a tradition of guitar music and even when they throw the odd curve ball in on a Sunday night you go 'Kylie Minogue?' I don't know about it. But I'm not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. It's wrong."

On Glastonbury's website under their Objectives section this is posted:

"The Glastonbury Festival aims to encourage and stimulate youth culture from around the world in all its forms, including pop music, dance music, jazz, folk music, fringe theatre, drama, mime, circus, cinema, poetry and all the creative forms of art and
design, including painting, sculpture and textile art.

I personally don't think Gallagher's opinion coincides with Glastonbury's objective and judging from his recent performance neither does Jay-Z. Watch as he mocks Gallagher as one of Oasis' songs plays. It's funny I've ,heard this song before and kind of like it ;-),but it wasn't until seeing Jay's rendition did I realize it was an Oasis song.

hmmmmm.. marketing genius

Me Versus Me

i drink, i don't. weird. to say the least

Loving Versus Virginia

Growing up in Brownsville, Brooklyn was very interesting to say the least. At an early age I was made aware of many of society's ills and I guess you can say I grew up fast. My parents made sure that I was aware of the social climate that we were presently living in, as well as the social climate that they were raised in. My parents were born in the 50's during a time where the racial problems in America and the world were still very blatant and in your face. In the southern areas of America the barriers were even more disheartening and dehumanizing.

Earlier today while browsing the web, I came across some very interesting historical facts regarding race relations in America. The information was eye opening and really made me realize how these conditions were a reality in the very recent past. This June 12th will mark the 40th anniversary of one of America's biggest Supreme Court decisions. The landmark case is known as Loving v. Virginia. Call me lazy but I copied and pasted Wikipedia's fact section below:

The plaintiffs, Mildred Jeter (a black woman) and Richard Perry Loving (a white man), were residents of the Commonwealth of Virginia who had been married in June of 1958 in the District of Columbia, having left Virginia to evade a state law banning marriages between any white person and a non-white person. Upon their return to Virginia, they were charged with violation of the ban, pleaded guilty, and were sentenced to one year in prison, with the sentence suspended for 25 years on condition that the couple leave the state of Virginia. The trial judge in the case, Leon Bazile, echoing Johann Friedrich Blumenbach's 18th-century interpretation of race, proclaimed that
Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, Malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix.
The Lovings moved to the District of Columbia, and in 1963 began a series of lawsuits seeking to overcome their conviction on Fourteenth Amendment grounds, ultimately reaching the Supreme Court.

I just find it amazing that such laws still existed only 40 years ago. It shows me that even though we have come a long way, we still have a lot of healing to do in this land of the free.

Isn't it so beautiful that the last name of the plaintiff was Loving...let's get rid of the hate ya'll....

Winter Versus Spring

For those in the Northeast...

Is it me?or does it still feel like it's winter?

About a week and a half ago we were fortunate enough to have some excellent Spring season weather, temperatures were in the 70's and the city rejoiced. People wore shorts and t-shirts. All were happy.
Then suddenly we were rudely interupted by Mother Nature and sent back home to get our coats for the 30 degree weather and snow flurries. What gives? I woke up this morning, finally ready to go outside and take a break from recording and it's pouring rain with hella wind. I like it when it's wet and wild, but geez...

I did a google search on The Spring 2007 Weather Conditions and all I got was this lousy link to: http://www.weather.com/newscenter/fcstsummary.html?from=wxcenter_news
( I cut and pasted it below)

Is this the pre-quel to The Day After Tomorrow?

Hmmm

Makes me wonder...Anyway the song playing on that red tape is a demo version of this song Levelz and I are working on..consider it some daily bread.



Low pressure tracking across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast today will spread rain from Washington, DC and Philadelphia, north through New York and Boston. Scattered showers will linger from Pittsburgh to Buffalo.
Across the New England States, colder air will wrap in around the low pressure, bring snow, heavy at times, from northern Upstate New York, into Maine. As much as a foot of snow could fall in the higher elevations.

Gusty winds will also be on the increase today, with winds of 25 to 35 mph possible across much of the Northeast.

The low pressure will move northeast of the area Friday, resulting in rain and snow showers along and west of the Appalachians, from Pittsburgh and Buffalo, north through Syracuse and Burlington.

Rain and snow will again be on the increase over the Mid-Atlantic Saturday, as the next storm system approaches.

By Sunday, a significant storm system could impact the entire Northeast, with strong winds, heavy rain, coastal flooding, and heavy snow across interior sections and higher elevations. The exact track of this storm will determine who sees what, and when, so stay tuned into the weekend.
